The Heartthrob That Can't Walk

Chapter 43

After our night together we stayed on the veranda, sat there, hug each other and stare at the stars. It was another sweet night given to us and I’ll be always thankful.

Watching her change her clothes in our room makes me want to ditch my mother. I tried to divert my attention through phone but I just can’t. I tightly close my eyes as I remember what we did last night. Fucking pervert.

I cleared my thoat, “I’ll just drink some water.” Paalam ko dahil alam kong mag tataka siya. Because it’s normal to us. Though there are tough times, like after we make love. The temptation was hard to control.

She nodded. 

Pagkaraan ng ilang minuto ay bumaba na rin siya. Suot ang isang asul na bestida na hindi pa umabot sa tuhod. Ang maputing balat at mahabang buhok ay nakatulong sa mala-modelo niyang ganda.

Kailan pa niya na hiligan ang pagsusuot ng dress? Sa pagkakaalam ko ayaw niya dahil sa tingin niya hindi bagay.

“Okay lang ba? Binigay ‘to ni tita kaso ngayon ko lang sinuot. Bagay ba?” tanong niya.

“Sobra. Parang ayoko nang ilabas ka.”

I saw her blush and bit her lip. No, don’t bit you lip like that because I want to bit it too.

I sighed, and calm myself. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya tsaka umalis sa unit. Nakarating kami sa parking nang makatanggap ng tawag. It’s my mother.

Agad ko ‘yong sinagot, “we’re on our way, mom.” I said.

“I know, son. I just want to inform you that Tori is missing, call that man he’s not picking up my calls.” I can sense her annoyance.

I laughed, “missing agad? C’mon mom, he’s not a kid, in fact he’s old. Baka naman may ginawa lang kaya hindi masagot ang tawag mo?”

“Just call him!” she shout on the other line.

“Fine, fine, I’ll text you after.” She ended the call. 

Pumasok kami sa sasakyan at nag simula na akong mag maneho. Ibinigay ko kay Shane ang telepono ko para tawagan si Mr. Tori. Tang’na tanda yari ka.

Naka loud speaker ang phone para rinig naming dalawa.

Sumagod naman agad, “uy, Mr. Tori yari ka. Bakit di mo sinasagot tawag ni tita?” bungad ni Shane.

“Naiinis ako sa kaniya.” Maiksing sambit nito sa kabilang linya na ikinagulat naming dalawa.

“What the—are you serious? That’s the first time I heard that from you. Is there something wrong?” I asked.

“Basta naiinis ako. Tang’na naman kasi lagi nalang akong may kasalanan. E siya naman may mali.” I can sense his frustration.

“Ano ba kasing nangyari?” tanong ni Shane.

“May pinakausap siya sa’kin na investor,kakilala niya raw. Wala namang aberya at naayos ko ‘yung deal. Abay bigla bigla nalang nananampal. Tang’na wala naman akong ginawa minuramura pa’ko. Sanay nako sa kaniya, kaso kanina pagod na pagod ako, ayun nilayasan ko.” Paliwanag niya.

Humagalpak kami ng tawa. My mother is really at fault. I know why but I won’t say it to him. I bet the said investor is at their age and a female.

“Pano ‘yan? Edi hindi ka sisipot sa lunch?”

He sighed, “sisipot malamang lalo akong tatalakan no’n. Kakatapos ko lang mag bihis.”

Mas lalo akong natawa. He’s so under.

“You can ditch. Ipa-realize mo sa nanay ko kung ano ang mali niya. Besides, may karapatan kang magalit, bigla ka niyang sinampal e.” sabi ko.

Tawang- tawa na si Shane habang hawak yung phone.
