Jury's POV:
I was grumpily sitting on the chair inside the café as I wait for Chet to arrive, kinabukasan pagkatapos ng insidenteng 'yon ay tinawagan ko agad si Chet at sinabi na magkikita kami ngayon sa café.
Naka-krus ang braso ko at matalim na nakatingin sa pinto habang hinihintay na pumasok si Chet sa loob.
He better come or I'll kick his ass! I don't want my life to be in danger! I freaking saw how Noah fight and if there's a chance, I might be the replacement of those guys who got beaten up by him at the party!
Mas lalong sumama ang timpla ng mukha ko nang makita ko na si Chet na pumasok sa café, mukhang maganda ang araw niya dahil nakangiti pa siya habang naglalakad papalapit saakin.
"Hello there, my dear friend -"
"Sit."
Nawala ang ngiti sa labi niya at nagtataka nalang na umupo sa harap ko, his eyes wandered awkwardly around the place as he waited for my next word.
"So..." Tiningnan niya ako at pilyong nginitian, "What's the fuss - aray!"
Hinampas ko siya sa braso nang paulit-ulit gamit ng dala kong payong, although he's trying to avoid it, I still made a way to hit him again.
Nang makuntento na ako ay doon lang ako umayos ng upo at hinihingal na binaba ang payong sa katabi kong upuan.
He caress his shoulder where I hit him with my umbrella, nakanguso siyang nagsalita nang malakas.
"Ano bang problema mo, ha?!"
Sumama naman ang mukha ko bago nagsalita, "Because of that delivery you told me to deliver, my life is ruined. Alam mo bang napakamanyak ng huli niyong customer?!"
Natawa siya nang mahina, "Oh, ano naman?"
Akmang hahampasin ko na ulit siya pero agad siyang umiwas.
I gritted my teeth, "I hell punched him in the face from what he said and dented his car."
Chet made an 'ooo' sound, "What's the brand?"
I rolled my eyes, "I don't know but I saw it somewhere in the internet, maybe it's Ferrari."
Halos lumuwa ang mata niya sa sinabi ko, I gave him a confused look.
"Y-You...dented a car?! A Ferrari one?! Are you insane?!"
I groaned, "Yes, I'm insane! He deserves it anyway! Now that he has my number, he's been threatening me since this morning through messages. His texts are like sweet psychopath one!" Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at pinakita sakanya ang mga messages na nakuha ko mula kay Noah.
His eyes were wide and his mouth were parted in shock as he reads the texts from him.
Nang mapansin ko na tapos na siyang magbasa ay tinago ko na ang cellphone ko, it took him seconds until he woke up in reality again.
"What the hell was that?" Tulala niyang tanong saakin.
I shrugged and didn't answered.
He slammed the table and glared at me, "YOU COULD AT LEAST REPORT HIM TO THE POLICE! THIS IS A THREAT, JURY! HIS WORDS ARE OUTRAGEOUS AT KAHIT HINDI PARA SAAKIN 'YANG MGA 'YAN, IT GIVES ME NIGHTMARES!"
I sighed heavily and crossed my arms, "I can't, he might report me too. I damaged his property, I was the one who punched him. Kung magrereklamo kaming pareho, baka ako pa ang makulong nito."
Chet gave me a worried look and seconds later, his eyes started to go darken.
"Tell me his name, I forgot about that customer so tell me. I could come over his place and talk to him face to face." Seryoso niyang sabi.
