Chapter 14
MASAMANG NAKATINGIN si Leroy sa lalaking palabas na ng pinto ng condo niya. Nang tuluyan na itong nakalabas ay tumikhim siya.
“Who are you?” Sabi niya sa lalaking napagbuksan niya ng pinto sa pag-aakalang si Suzette lang ang makikita niya.
The man managed to smirked at him. He also made sure that he will saw the guy’s gun but Leroy was already pissed that he doesn’t care if he saw a gun on the man’s waist.
“Officer Jigs Caniete, a friend of Suzette.” The man said and his eyes were examining his whole.
Leroy felt irritated. This man is arrogant. Sinigurado talaga nitong makikita niya ang dala nitong baril. Akala naman nito ay matatakot siya.
“Bakit ikaw ang naghatid sa kanya?” Iritado niyang sabi dito. Ni hindi man lang niya itinago ang pagka-ayaw niya sa kaharap.
The man shrugged. “Bakit? Bawal ba?”
Leroy teeth gritted. He's also starting to feel pissed and any moment he will throw a punch to this man's ugly face. “Oo. I don’t know you and this is my condo.”
The man called Jigs chuckled. “Oh sorry, man,” Nang-aasar nitong sabi. “I didn’t know that Suzette has a brother.”
Pinigilan niya ang sarili na hablutin ang baril ng kaharap at tutukan ito. “I’m not her brother.” Madiin niyang sabi.
“A friend then?”
The man caught him off guard. Hindi siya sumagot sa kadahilanang hindi niya rin alam kung anong relasyon ang meron sila ni Suzette.
The man sighed. “Look, Mister famous chef, I’m warning you that Suzette is not like your other woman. She’s not an ordinary girl and no man can handle her. So, it is better if you leave her alone and just let her be. Masasaktan ka lang.”
“Why do you care? My relationship with Suzette has nothing to do with you. I don’t need your warning…” He said.
Jigs shrugged again. “Relax dude. I’m only warning you because if you fell for her, she cannot catch you. That woman already have problems, sa pamilya at pangarap niya. Wala siyang maibibigay sayo. I sure hope that you will not be a nuisance.” He said and then leave.
That police officer didn’t give him a chance to response. Ayaw pa naman niya na naiisahan basta sa usapan. Call him childish but when it comes to the exasperating woman inside his room, he become irrational.
Somehow, he knew that Jigs is right. Suzette is not his type of woman. He also knew that no man can handle her. Si Suzette ang tipo ng babae na may prayoridad sa buhay at hindi nanaisin ng kahit anong distraction sa buhay nito.
Ang nakikita lang ng dalaga ay ang career nito at wala itong pakialam sa ibang bagay. Iyon ang ikinatatakot niya. Ang mahulog siya dito pero sa huli ay hindi siya kayang saluhin ng babae.
Bakit, hindi pa nga ba? Hulog na hulog ka na, Leroy!
He hates rejections pero sa sitwasyong kinalalagyan niya, mukhang doon siya mauuwi.
Kaya ba niyang tanggapin iyon? Alam niya sa sarili na hindi pero para sa dalaga ay kakayanin niya.
Sa ngayon wala pa siyang puwang sa buhay nito pero hihintayin niya ang panahon na magkaka-espasyo na siya.
Isa pang gustong malaman niya ay kung anong meron sa dalaga at laging mabigat ang dinadala nito. Simula ng makita niya ito sa SA ay ramdam niya na parang may mabigat itong problema. Gusto niyang magtanong pero mas nanaig sa kanya na hintayin na lang ang dalaga na magkwento.
