Aristle's POV
Two years later.
"Um... D-Dark?"
Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko matapos makapasok sa kotse. Nakaupo ako ngayon sa harap katabi ang isang napakagwapong lalaki na nakasuot pa ng business attire.
"I guess you're a little surprised. This is the first time you saw me without my mask after all."
'A little surprised'? Little?!
Muntikan na nga akong mahimatay nang marinig ang boses nya at makita syang walang maskara tapos sasabihin nyang little?
Halos tumalon ang puso ko nang lumingon sya sakin at ngumiti. Hindi ko maitago ang gulat sa mga mata ko habang bahagyang nakaawang ang bibig.
"I... Uh... Why---?"
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang uunahin kong sabihin at itanong sa kanya. Masyadong nakakabigla ang mga pangyayari. Ganun pa man ay pinilit kong ikalma ang sarili ko.
"First of all, how did you know where I live? Ano nang nangyari sa usapan natin?" Nakataas ang isang kilay na tanong ko sa kanya.
Mayroon kasi kaming usapan na hindi nya papakialaman o susubukan man lang alamin ang identity at background ko. Para naman fair kasi wala rin akong kaalam alam sa kanya.
The only thing I know about him is that he's working at the bar as a side job, he's actually a Chemical Engineer, he's older, and...ano pa nga ba?
Too little, right?
"Inalam ko lang kung saan ka nakatira dahil nahihirapan na akong icontact ka. I thought you already ran away." Sagot nya habang nakatutok sa daan ang mga mata.
Medyo naguilty naman ako. I was the one who made the rule that he can't contact me because I'll be the one to contact him.
"I got preoccupied with having fun lately." Nakaiwas ang tingin na sabi ko. I can't say that I've been fucking other men lately. It goes against our rules.
"Did you get yourself a boyfriend---no, that's too impossible."
Sumama ang tingin ko sa kanya. Does he mean that no one wants me to be their girlfriend?
"Did you get yourself a new fuck buddy? Did you already replace me?" Tanong nya at saka ako tiningnan.
Binigyan ko naman sya ng isang irap bago ay mahinang natawa.
He really is the Dark I know. It's nice to see him say that without his mask. But too bad, I won't fall for his act. He's not the type of person who would really care about who I fuck as long as I contact him.
"And if I did?"
"Nah, I don't really care. I do fuck another girl too, just barely. So we're just even."
See?
"Wait---'another girl'? Oho~, so you're interested in other girls now. Should we celebrate?" Nang aasar kong tanong pero seryoso lang sya.
Uh... Did I adjusted too fast? Dapat ba gulat pa rin akong kaharap ko na si Dark with full face version?
"Do you really think we should be celebrating when you called for me because you need my help?"
Oh right, fuck. Buti pinaalala nya.
"About that... Let me stay with your house, just for a short period of time. The situation in my house is so fucked-up, I escaped. I'll even share our expenses, so please Dark---"
