89. sa kalaunan

Calian.

I'm patiently waiting for luis to come inside the cafe.

I know his ways, alam ko kung anong pakay niya. alam ko kung sino ang may gawa nito

"Sup Eleazar long time no see" mayabang na bati ni luis sa akin

"Fuck off Valdez" singhal ko

"Here's a plane ticket, go home and never comeback." abot ko sakanya nung envelope pero tinawanan lang niya ako

Umupo siya sa harapan ko at marahan akong nginitian

"Your dad was right, gagawin mo lahat para kay Reed"

i knew it. tatay ko ang may pakana nito.

"Anong binayad sayo ng tatay ko at pumayag ka mag panggap bilang tink, bilang ako." madiin kong tanong

I was trying my best not to punch him in the face, hindi na siya dapat pumayag pa sa offer ng tatay ko.

"Nothing, pumayag ako kasi I want revenge Calian" ngiti niya

"Fuck you Luis, fuck you."

Naging kaibigan ko si Luis noong lumipat ako sa US para mag-aral, we became good friends not until naging magkalaban ang pamilya namin sa business industry.

Knowing how my dad works pinabagsak niya ang kumpanya nila Luis, he was mad at me. Iniisip niya na kasalanan ko kaya bumagsak ang kumpanya ng pamilya nila.

Up until now he is still blaming me for ruining his life.

"See calian, this is what you get from being a stubborn son."

"We both know kung sino yung totoong tink dito luis, stop pretending to be me." naiinis kong sabi

Tahimik siyang natawa sa sinabi ko

"Eh si reed kaya? he doesn't remember anything right? i'm sure kung may paniniwalaan man siya rito ay ako yon. Kasi takot kang umamin Calian, takot ka malaman ni Reed lahat." imik niya sabay tayo sa kinauupuan niya

I won't let that happen. Hindi ko hahayaang saktan niyo si Reed.
