Chapter Seven
Stupid Whore
Mr. Takahashi's wife became my whore for a week. Walang nagawa ang babae kung hindi ang sundin ang lahat ng gusto kong gawin sa kanya pero kahit na gano'n ay hindi ko naman gustong ma-attached ito sa akin.
The woman was surprisingly nice. Ilang buwan pa lang pala silang kasal ng lalaki. She started opening up to me about his husband when all I did was to use her for a good fuck. Isa rin iyon kaya tumagal siya sa akin ng isang linggo. She was an expert but when she learned how powerful my family was, she started talking about divorce.
I cut her off and told her to go back to her husband. Wala akong ibang nakita sa mga mata niya kung hindi takot sa sinabi ko pero wala na akong pakialam. It was his husband's fault why their marriage was on the verge of failure. Labas na ako do'n.
I witnessed how Thelonious built his life again while I continued fucking around. After almost two years of trying to get sober, talagang napanindigan na niyang maging malinis at mas piniling ayusin ang buhay sa kabila ng pagkawala sa kanya ng lahat.
I was there when I witnessed him endure the low of his lows and I promised him that I will never leave when he started building his life again. Bukod sa akin at kay Andrei, nakatulong rin ang presensiya ni Adriana sa buhay niya.
It was not unusual for them to get close because they already had some history together before he even married his late wife. Inasahan ko na rin iyon dahil bukod sa talagang maaasahan si Adriana, she has all the qualities that any man was searching for. Kung hindi nga lang ito mahirap ay baka ito na ang ipinakasal kay Thelonious noon pa man.
"He's sleeping now..." bungad ni Adriana sa akin isang araw nang bumisita ako sa mansion ni Tito Vladimir.
She walk me to the garden. We had wine while we talk about business. Nakasanayan ko na rin si Adriana dahil noong ako ang sumalo ng lahat ay inalalayan rin ako nito. The Rozovsky's were glad to have her.
Unti-unti, nakita ko kung paano bumangon si Thelonious kasama kami at si Adriana. We did everything to support his sobriety. Bukod doon ay nasaksihan ko rin kung paano siya mas mabuo't gumaling dahil sa babae. And everyone was not surprised when he told us the news about the true state of their relationship... hanggang sa umabot na sa kanilang kasal.
"Are you sure about that?" mataman ko siyang tinitigan, kinikilatis ang kanyang ekspresyon pero kahit na hindi niya sagutin ay alam kong seryoso siya sa planong pagpapakasal kay Adriana.
I couldn't blame him. Para sa akin ay deserved ni Thelonious na mag-move on at pakasalan ang kahit na sinong babaeng gusto niyang makasama habang buhay dahil malaya na siya. Soraia was already dead and she will never come back.
"I am, Mikolos. I've never been more sure about marrying Adriana. I don't want to lose her."
I was happy to hear that. Lumawak ang ngiti ko. "Then I am fucking happy for you, brother!"
We clinked our glasses. Saktong dumating ang iba pa naming mga pinsan maging si Andrei kaya mas umingay ang usapan. Most of the topics were all about the responsibilities we had as our bloodline's future. Maayos naman ang usapan hanggang sa napunta iyon sa pamilya ko.
"How's Auntie Malinda?"
"She's doing great. Cahill and Anishka is always there for her."
Nagsitanguan sila, nakikiramdam sa mga gusto pang itanong sa akin tungkol doon.
"I heard Uncle Dominov already acquired the Australian deal," Stanislav trailed off. "It has been decades since anyone of us tried to have a partnership with their government. Uncle Dominov still got it, eh?"
