THE ROZOVSKY HEIRS 7 | DAMIEN ALFONSO
CHAPTER ONE | SUMMER WALKER
DAMIEN
I could hear my mom's monologues when I was walking towards the dining room. But I went into halt when my phone rang and saw that it was Ate Soms was calling me. I blew out a breath. I am sure this has something to do with Saryna again. Iyon naman ang dahilan ni Ate sa tuwing tatawag siya sa akin. Saryna did something terrible that could make the whole Rozovsky clan shook in anger.
"Ate Soms," pinilit kong maging masaya ang boses ko nang sagutin ko ang tawag niya.
"Did you know about this, Damien?" Ang seryoso ng boses ni Ate Soms. Sigurado akong matindi-tindi ang ginawa ni Saryna ngayon.
"About what, Ate?"
"Saryna! Jesus Christ, Damien? Did you see the photos that has been circling around social media?"
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Photos? What photos?" Wala akong alam sa mga litrato na sinasabi ni Ate Soms.
Hindi sumagot si Ate Soms pero mayamaya ay naka-receive ako ng mga litrato sa Viber ko at naitakip ang kamay sa bibig sa kabiglaan sa nakikita ko. What the fuck was this? This was Saryna? She was almost naked in these pictures. She was making out with someone. The guy was touching her breast and she was letting him to... who the fuck was this guy? Ang pangit ng lalaking 'to. Pinatulan ni Saryna 'to? I knew her type and this one won't pass her standards.
"You see it?" Damang-dama ko ang galit sa boses ni Ate Soms. "Did you see it? Do you know this guy? Do you know about this party?"
"N-no, Ate. I was home last night. I am finishing a term paper. This is really Saryna?" hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa nakikita ko kahit na nga alam ko naman na ang pinsan ko ito. Hindi lang naman kasi ngayon ginawa ito ni Saryna. Her name had been famous in every party that that rich people were throwing. And most of the time, she had been leaving evidence of what kind of parties she had been and this was one of them.
"You are not with her last night? She didn't go home. She went home early this morning drunk and wasted in her room." Napahinga ng malalim si Ate Soms. "Can you talk to her? Shake out some sense on her and tell her to stop doing this kind of madness."
"Okay, Ate Soms. I'll call her." Iyon na lang ang nasabi ko dahil wala na akong maisagot sa kanya.
"Thank you. Kung sino pa ang babae siya pa ang pasaway," sabi pa niya bago tuluyang maputol ang usapan namin.
Napabuga ako ng hangin at naihilamos ang kamay sa mukha ko. Hinanap ko ang number ni Saryna at tinawagan siya. Nagngangalit ang bagang ko dahil sa nalaman ko. Kahit naman sino sa pamilya naming ay hindi matutuwa sa litratong sigurado akong pinagpipiyestahan na sa soc med.
"Hi, Dam-Dam! I missed you and I love you! What's up?"
Napapalatak ako. Hindi ako natuwa kahit sweet na sweet pa ang pagkakasabi noon sa akin ni Saryna. Of all people, she was the only who was calling me that name. Everyone knew how I hated it. Feeling ko para akong two years old. But her, even if I didn't like it, she kept on calling me that. She said it was her term of endearment to me because I am her favorite cousin.
"What is it this time, Saryna?" Sa pagitan ng mga ngipin ay tanong ko.
Narinig kong napabungisngis siya sa kabilang linya. Halatang may hangover pa.
