“BRO, still looking for her?” It was Akihiro.
“Yeah.” Tipid nyang sagot at ininom ang beer na hawak.
Dalawang taon na ang lumipas simula nang mangyari ang gulo sa condo ni Cristina. Dalawang taon nadin simula nang umalis ito. When she passed out, he immediately rushed her to the nearest hospital. Dumating din nang gabi na ‘yon ang kanyang mga kaibigan na tumulong sakanya.
“Still nothing?”
“Not a single info.” Malungkot nyang tinignan ang larawan nito na nasa kanyang cellphone.
Nang magising ito sa ospital ilang oras pagkatapos nya itong isugod doon ay nanghingi ito sa kanyang ng makakain. When he came back, she’s gone. Akala nya ay baka sapilitan itong kinuha ng ama nito kasama ang lalaking nag ngangalang Damien pero hindi. They checked all the footage and saw that Cristina is alone when she sneaks out.“Baka ayaw talagang mag pahanap.” Inabot sa kanya ni Corvin ang isa pang lata ng beer nang Makita nito na niyupi na nya ang kanina nyang hawak.
“Why?” that questions came out so bitterly. Bakit ba ayaw ni Cristina na magpahanap sa kanya? Bakit pati sa kanya, nagtatago ang dalaga?
“That’s the thing we cannot answer brotha. Kahit si Venom, walang makuha na info kay Gly.”
Mapait syang napangiti at mabilis na nilagok ang beer. For the past years, this is his routine. Work, house and beer. Lahat ng posibleng puntahan ni Cristina, sinuyod na nya pero wala syang nakita. Nanguha din sya ng mga tauhan upang manmanan ang ama nito baka sakaling makakuha sya ng impormasyon pero wala. Kahit ang mga ito ay wala ding alam kung nasaan ang dalaga, they even bothered him once that ‘causes huge loss on those bastards side. With the help of his friends who happened to own a financial institution where Damiens Company had a huge loan, he teach those bastard a lesson.
“Don’t worry Bro, we will find her.”
“When? This pandemic is making everything worst. I can’t travel and personally look for her. Fuck I miss her!”
Isinandal nya ang ulo sa upuan at pumikit. He missed her so much, may pakiramdam sya na kailangan sya nito kaya hindi sya titigil sapag hahanap kay Cristina.
“We will help you, Bundok. We will do everything to find her.”
“Venom is right Bro, we will help you. May pakiramdam ako na may nag tatago sakanya kaya hindi natin sya Makita.”
Napaisip sya sa sinabi ni Corvin, may punto ito. Napaka imposible na sa dami nilang nag hahanap kay Cristina, kahit isa sa kanila ay hindi ito Makita.
“I was just wondering, why do you keep on looking for her? What if, you find her but she doesn’t want to be with you? What will you do?” seryosong tanong ni Mito.
Ayaw nyang aminin pero nasaktan sya sa sinabi nito. It’s not impossible though. Simula’t sapul hindi na sya gusto ni Cristina. Kahit pa noong may nangyari sakanila ay balewala lang dito.
“Shut the fuck up, Mito.”
“What? I am just asking.”
Sa sobrang inis ay sinugod nya ito. Hinatak nya ang kwelyo ng kaibigan. “Do you want me to fucking punch you in the face?”
“Do whatever you want, Brotha.” He smirked that makes him more pissed. Susuntukin na nya sana ito nang pigilan sya ni Venom. Ang iba naman ay nag tulong tulong upang pag hiwalayin sila ni Mito. “Don’t be mad at me. Bakit kasi hangang ngayon, hindi mo padin maamin sa sarili mo.”
“I am worried about her. Wala akong ibang dapat aminin.”
Isang iling lang ang isinagot nito sakanya bago umalis.
