WHEN FARHAN LOOKED DOWN FROM THE GLASS WINDOW, he saw his fate-Randall. Hindi na niya nagawang makapag-focus sa sinasabi ng isang investor, tanging ngiti na lamang mula sa kanyang labi ang namumutawi.
"Uhm, shall we talk about this another day?" tanong sa kanya nito. Napalingon pa ang investor kung sino ang tinitignan niya sa labas. Hindi nito napigilang matawa. "You're looking at Mr. Flores, aren't you?"
Farhan tried to act normal, but that's not how he feels in seeing his guy wearing something so formal-lalo pa't ayos na ayos ito.
"No, I'm not..."
"Yes, you are. And I should guess that a guy like you wouldn't interfere with somebody's happiness? He has a wife, and she is his happiness. They are well-known, you know," sambit pa nito.
He tried to not think about the uncertainty, knowing it is there. Walang sigurado kung totoo ang mga pinapakita sa kanya ng lalaking inagawan niya ng asawa. Malamang ay kasing hindi 'yon sigurado ng nararamdaman ni Randall para sa kanya.
"Excuse me," paalam niya.
Mabilis na bumaba si Farhan mula sa hagdan upang salubungin si Randall sa baba. Nang nakatayo na siya sa tapat nito, at may limang metrong layo, tinitigan niya ito. He kept his smile, because smiling makes him weak.
Isa-isang hakbang patungo kay Randall hanggang sa umabot siya sa harapan nito. Nakangiti si Randall at tila ba kumikinang ang mga mata.
"Where's your wife?" bulong niya sa tenga nito.
Natawa si Randall na kinabagal ng tibok ng puso niya. "She's definitely not in a good situation. But in any case, if that's what is happening to her, then it must be reciprocated when it comes to us."
"You have a point, amore mio," nakangiti niyang tugon. Saka niya hinawakan ang kamay nito.
Little did he know that both their parents are looking at them. How would they notice if they were too focused on each other's company?
Kaya naman hindi nagsayang ng panahon si Farhan at hinila niya si Randall upang makatakbo palayo mula sa mga maskara. They thought all their lives that they were happy and contented, not until this moment.
Umakyat sila sa balkonahe ng lugar. Naroon ang mga gwardya ni Farhan. There was a fence like in a mansion. But the best thing is, naroon ang mga bituin at ang buwan na nanonood sa kanilang dalawa.
"Can you get the necklace?" tanong niya sa kanyang mga gwardya.
Lumapit ang isa upang buksan sa kanyang harapan ang isang itim na box. Laman ang Claveria necklace na alam niyang pinapangarap ni Randall.
"A-Are you giving that to me?" gulat na tanong nito sa kanya.
Seryosong mukha at pagtango ang kanyang naging tugon. He knows that Randall will be flattered by this gift. After all, he's not the kind of man who can show actions to portray how much he loves someone. But money can do it for him.
Kinuha niya ang kwintas at nakangiting tumungo sa likuran ni Randall upang ito'y isuot dito.
"And you f*cking know how expensive this is, right?" tanong ni Randall na naluluha-luha sa saya.
Nakatitig ito ng mata sa mata na hindi niya magawa ng mabuti. Nang masuot niya ito rito ay nakita niya ang ngiti sa labi ni Randall.
"Leave us alone for now," utos niya. "I want to pour this moment to my amore mio."
Farhan had met a lot of women in his entire life, but none of them made him feel appreciated like how Randall's eyes showed it. It was harder to see than to feel.
