VLADIMIR AND HIS SECRETARY [COMPLETED]

Side Story: Niko and Cold [Chapter Eight]

"Hey. Why do you look so happy?" Nilingon ko ang nagsalita at nakita si Ate Glare na panay ang sulyap sa akin habang gumagawa ng meryenda para sa mga amo namin.

"It's nothing." Sagot ko habang nakatingin kay Ate Stare na mula pa kanina ay nakatitig na sa akin. She have this indifferent expression on her face that she always wear almost of the time. "What's with the stare, ate?"

She didn't answer.

Hinayaan ko na lamang ito at kinuha ang meryenda na ginawa ni Ate Glare at dinala iyon sa living room kung nasaan ang mga amo ko at nag-uusap.

Napunta kaagad sa akin ang paningin ni Niko at binigyan ako ng matamis na ngiti. He look so cute when he smile.

Inilapag ko sa mesa ang meryenda nila saka bumalik sa kusina pero bago iyon ay sinulyapan ko pa muna si Niko at nakita ito na pasulyap-sulyap din sa gawi ko habang patuloy sa pakikipag-usap sa mga magulang niya.

I want to hug him.

"Hey, Cold. Come here. I have something to ask you." Boses iyon ni Ate Stare. Nasa akin na naman ulit ang paningin niya at seryusong-seryuso pa rin ito.

"Did I do something wrong? Why you're giving me that kind of expression, sis?" I asked, slightly confused.

"Napapansin ko rin ang isang 'yan. Kanina pa titig na titig sa'yo. Maybe you hacked her account, bro?" Ate Glare suddenly popped up beside me.

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you're interested...?

"I'm not interested."

"Really?"

"Hm."

"What... "

Napalingon kaming dalawa sa isa pang kapatid nang magsalita na ito ng tuluyan. "If you have a question then complete it, sis. I don't like waiting." I tiredly said.

"You waited for Niko for how many years, brother. Pinapaalala ko lang. Mukhang naiwala mo panandalian utak mo kaya nakalimutan mo." Ate Glare said while pointing my cheek.

"Niko is different. I'm willing to wait if it were him."

"Wow. You're being biased there, my brother."

"Don't care."

"What will you do if someone suddenly confess that she's into you, Cold?" Ate Stare asked. Mukhang iyon ang laman ng isip niya mula pa kanina.

"I'll reject her immediately."

"Why?"

"Because I already have Niko."

"That's not what I mean."

"Then what?"

"What if you're single. You don't like anyone. Then this someone suddenly confess that she's into you."

"Someone's into you, sis?" Sabay na tanong namin ni Ate Glare sa kaniya.

"Whatever." Bumuntong-hininga at balak sanang umalis pero agad din siyang pinigilan ng kambal niya.

"Ask me. Ask me. I'll answer you."

"I don't wanna."

"Why? I am your twin."

"Then?"

"That's why you can ask me."

"I don't want to."

"Why?"

"Because you're always  answering me shits everytime I ask you."

"Give her a chance, ate. Everyone deserves a chance." Saad ko dahilan para mapunta naman sa akin ang paningin nilang dalawa.
