LOVING THE INKED MAN.

CHAPTER 3

Babaero.

Hindi parin ako makamove on sa nakita ko sa abandoned building kahapon kaya naman hindi ako nakatulog ng maayos kagabi. Kung tutuusin ay parang idlip lang ang naging tulog ko. Kaya naman pagkagising ko ay inis na inis ako. I'm not in the mood, I'm mad at myself for being so affected by that inked man.

Tinaasan ako ng kilay ni Kuya ng makita niya akong wala sa ayos pagpunta ko sa kusina kung nasaan siya. " Good morning, May sakit ka ba?" he asked full o concern but I just look at him not in the mood to greet him beck.  " Atty. Ramirez called earlier, puntahan mo raw siya sa office niya after class." Imporma niya na tinanguan ko lang.

I'm like a living turtle moving so slow, never talk, and wake up so lazy. How I wish to be a turtle today, just being moody never minding the surrounding. Sana pagong na lang ako, pero hindi pwede dahil kailangan kong pumasok ngayong araw at may klase kami , Third year na ako at bawal akong maging tamad. Isa pa hindi ako pwedeng maging pagong dahil alam kong buhay pa ang tatay ko and kailangan kong malaman kung sino. Kuya is not enough to be called my guardian I'm still a daughter so I do need a father.

Nagkape lang ako at kumain ng kaunting breakfast. I'm not  really in the mood kaya nagmistulang hangin lang si Kuya sa akin habang kausap niya ako kanina.

" Absent si Angela, babe!" iyon agad ang bungad sa akin ni Mia pakapasok ko sa classroom.

I rolled my eyes, " That's not even a good news!" pagsusugit ko.

" Grumpy, huh!" lumayo agad ako ng hawakan ni Mia ang noo ko. " Wala ka namang sakit. Mayroon ka ba ngayon?"

Umiling lang ako sa kaniya at dumerets na ako sa aking upuan. Mia keep on asking me what happen, what's my problem, why I'm being so grumpy today and why I'm not in the mood. But none of her questions did I answer. I'm not in the mood to answer every questions today nor to tell a story. Kaya ending may pagtatampo sa akin si Mia in the whole day, but I'm not feel sorry.

" Attorney, what is it?" iyon agad ang tanong ko kay Atty. Ramirez as I enter his office. Matanda na si Atty. Ramirez but still serve me as part of the contract they have with my grandparents.

Naupo ako sa visitors chair at nag antay ng kaniyang sasabihin. May kinuha siyang folder at iniabot sa akin.

" It might help, " wika niya.

i stare at him before opening the folder, " What's with Luciano Sevilla? Siya yung may ari ng S.A hindi ba?"

S.A stand for 'Spade Agency' a private agency that help people to get fair justice and it cooperates with the police and laws. They hate criminals and the agency was popular because most of the powerful criminals and illegal businessman has been drag down because of S.A and of course because of Luciano Sevilla.

" Why not ask help to S.A?" suhestyon ni Atty.

Umiling ako, " I have no money." mahina kong sambit sabay kagat ng aking labi. Si Tyron lang ata ang kilala ko sa S.A, ang kaibigan ni Kuya.

" Okay, it's fine kung ayaw mo." pagsuko ni Atty. " Here," may iniabot pa siyang panibagong folder.

Tinignan ko iyon at may picture ni Inked man. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. " Bakit to?"

" Sabi ng imbistigador some of the suspects in your mothers case hanging out with that man. Nagtataka nga ako kung bakit ang bata pa niya, posibleng anak siya ng isa sa mga pinaghihinalaan. Why not find that man and get close to him."

Tumingin ako sa litrato ni Inked man. He's goddess face, matangos na ilong, magandang hulma ng mga labi, magandang hugis ng paga, singkiting mga mata, makapal na kilay at higit na nakapukaw sa akin ang X scars on the right top of his brows that make him look so attractive.

" Dylan Floyd," basa ko sa pangangalan niya. " Okay I'll try to reach out for him Attorney, thanks!" gumuhit ang kakaibang ngiti ng pag asa sa aking labi.

I now have a valid reason to stalk him!

" If you want I will let mr. Manzano to talk to him or we set a schedule."

Umiling ako, " I think I can do this, besides all the infos of him is written here."  I confidently said declining the offer. " I'm going home attorney thanks again."

After going to the office of mr. Ramirez I headed immediately home. Finally my mood lit up for the reason that attorney Ramirez gave me a hope for today and that hope is Inked man.

" Kuya, can I borrow your car?" I asked kuya sweetly.

Nangunot ang noo ni Kuya, " You don't have any assignments or activities? where are you going?"

Ngumuso ako, " Mall, I will just buy what I needed for tomorrow."

" Sasa--"

"NO!" agad kong tutol, " I mean, I can do shopping alone."

Kahit naguguluhan at ayaw pumayag ay pinahiram parin ni kuya ang kaniyang itim na mustang. Of course I'm happy dahil ngayong araw pupuntahan ko ang address ni Inked man. Hindi na ako mag aantay ng magandang pagkakataon kundi ngayon agad. I just wanted to know what he was doing right now. NO! what I mean is I wanted to know if he's friends or related to the suspects.

Sa labas lang ako ng subdivision nila Inked man pumarada. Hindi ako pwedeng makapasok sa village dahil hindi naman ako taga roon. I waited patiently, two hours is long enough to give up but I saw the black wrangler going out in the  village. So I drive next to the wrangler and to just witness Inked man going to the bar and take a lady out of it then he goes home.

And guess what! five days has past and I still end up the same scenario. Driving next to Inked man and then going home with a broken heart for I always sees him with a woman! But this won't temp me to gave up!

" Babaero!" I shouted then tinagay ko ang tequila. I'm sure he heard it! nasa bar ako ngayon stalking him na nakikipaglandian sa waitress na kinulang sa tela ang uniporme.

Urrghhhhhhhh! SHETE! Kailan din kaya ako makakalapit sa kaniya! DApat bang maging babae niya rin ako!
