The Legendary Durga

CHAPTER 4

JINGU (AGNEZKA PATRIARCA) POV

"Jingu, hurry up, we're going to be late." Sigaw ni Jun.

Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses nang sinabi sa'kin ni Jun 'yan. Hindi ko din alam kung isip ko nalang 'yung nagsasalita o siya ba talaga eh.

Hindi siya makapaghintay, para siyang nanay na nireregla. Tangina! Ganito ba kami araw-araw? Sigawan? Ang aga-aga sumasakit ang ulo ko sa kaputanginahan niya. Parang pwet ng manok kung pumutak ang bunganga niya.

Never did I imagine na may ganitong side itong kupal na'to. Kahit minsan hindi ko siya nakitaan ng ganito noon, not like we often interact we each other before, but still, he should stick to his robotic self.

"Teka lang pwede ba? Hindi ka ba pwedeng maghintay? Hindi mo naman kailangan magmadali dahil 7:30 palang, ang aga-aga pa. 10 minutes lang ang biyahe natin, nasisiraan ka na ba ng bait o sadyang gusto mo lang magsisisigaw diyan?!"

"Just make it fast."

"Shut up! One of these days, papakainin kita ng M194 na granada, puta ka!"

Minadali ko na ang pag bra-braid sa buhok ko dahil kanina pa ako sinisigawan nitong punyeta na Sebastiano na'to, nasasanay na siyang sinisigawan ako porket mas matanda siya sa fake profile na binigay ni Nonno.

I need to call Nonno one of these days, kailangan niyang palitan ang impormasyon sa profile. Dapat ako ang mas matanda para hindi niya ako ma sigaw-sigawan dito. I can't even retaliate, dahil sabi ng matandang kutong lupa na 'yon, I need do whatever my 'big brother' tells me to do.

"Dadaan pa tayo sa Chairman's office, bumaba ka na at handa na ang breakfast."

"Eto na nge eh, eto na pababa na kaya pwede mo nang itikom 'yang bunganga mo. Nambubulahaw ka eh, alam mo 'yon?!"

Kumain kami ng breakfast, as usual konti ang kinain niya at ako marami parin. After that niligpit na ng maid ang pinagkainan namin. Pumunta na kami sa sasakyan, bago niya buksan ang makina may inabot siya sa'kin, reading glasses.

Kumunot ang noo ko, is this guy crazy? Don't tell me he wants me to wear that piece of shit he's holding? Because he should know by now, that I fucking won't.

"What're you doing? Para san 'yan?" Tanong ko, ni hindi ako nagtangkang kunin sa kamay niya ang salamin.

"Just wear it, it's for your disguise." Hindi ko na pinansin ang sexy accent niya, tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay, as if he grew another head.

"Why? Why do I have to fucking wear that stupid looking spectacles?! Sira ulo ka ba? Magmumukha akong tanga pag sinuot ko 'yang basura na 'yan! Bakit hindi nalang ikaw ang magsuot?!"

Bumuntong hininga siya at parang kanina pa napapagod dahil sa'kin.

I do know na nakakapagod akong i-handle, I have around 10 maids just to cater with my whims and needs, some would even cry because the work is too hard for them to handle. Well, women needs a lot you know.

Ok sana kung may special function ang salamin na 'yan eh, wala naman, so no thanks nalang 'no. Buti ba sana kung may laser na lumalabas diyan pag ginagamit. This is not like some movies, where I have to wear a nerd disguise.

I'm not a freaking CIA agent, they're our enemies!

"'Pag nagsalamin ba'ko mag sasalamin ka din?" Sumusukong saad niya.

"Oh sure babe, dali suotin mo 'yan para mag mukha kang sira ulo."

Nagulat ako nang sinuot nga niya, but what shocked me more was the results. He didn't look nerdy as what I thought he would be, nagmukha siyang intelligent-sadistic-matured business man. Gods! Now his face is really my type, dammit!

Edi ako din, maganda ako kaya mag mumukha din akong...

"Merda! (Shit!) What the hell?! Why do I look like a fucking nerd wearing this?!" Reklamo ko sabay dinurog ang salamin sa kamay ko, tapos tapon sa bintana. Kung nakatayo lang ako for sure tinapak-tapakan ko na 'yon.

"Don't worry. I was so sure na gagawin mo 'yon kaya bumili ako ng madami. You need it, para hindi mapansin na ikaw ang Durgatinashini, diba? It's just one year, bear with it. Didn't you want to have your freedom?"

"I know, but is it really necessary for me to wear glasses? It's not like everybody knows what I look like. No one would think na si Durga ay isang college student, and that she even bothers to go to school."

"It's because of your eyes."

"Ano namang meron sa mata ko?"

"It catches people's attention, it makes them want to just stare at it." He stared straight at my eyes as he said those words.

"Fi-fine!" What the hell was that? How awkward. Never mind! Ang unfair naman, bakit nung nagsalamin siya nagmature lalo ang itsura niya? Samantalang ako, mukhang nerd. Tangina lang huh! "And you call yourself my twin brother."
