Kabanata 8

Magmula noong napasama ni Gie ang loob ni Gresso ay hindi na ito muling nagpunta sa clinic. Sabi rin ni Frenchie ay kahit na pwede itong lumabas ng selda, nananatili na lamang ito roon para magpakalasing. 

Pakiramdam tuloy ni Gie ay napakasama niyang tao at naging masyado siyang insensitive kaya kahit sana ayaw niyang pakaisipin pa ang nangyari, natatagpuan niya palagi ang sariling natutulala dahil sa nangyari.

She let out another heavy breath while she's slouching on her swivel chair. Wala pa siyang natatapos sa mga kailangan niyang gawin ngayong araw dahil si Gresso ang laman ng isip niya. His image before he left the clinic that day kept flashing inside her head as if her own mind is torturing her.

Naihilamos niya nang tuluyan ang kanyang palad sa kanyang mukha. Bakit ba siya nagi-guilty? Masamang tao naman si Gresso. He hurt more people, right?

She pursed her lips and accessed his file on the computer. Babasahin sana niya ang mga kaso nito nang mapawi ang guilt niya ngunit nang makita niya ang araw ng kapanganakan ni Gresso ay napatigil siya sa pag-scroll at tumingin sa kalendaryong nasa ibabaw rin ng desk.

Today's his birthday . . .

 She tapped her fingers on the table while thinking. Her ego kept on telling her that she doesn't have to do something about his anger, yet the other side of her mind refused to stay heartless. Birthday nito ngayon at tanging si Frenchie lamang ang kasama. Maybe if she will show a little compassion, Gresso will have hope that the world isn't always against him.

"Okay, Gie. Let's get him his cake," she murmured to herself before she finally called Zinc to take over. Sinamahan naman siya ni Ysiah na lumabas ng supermax, ngunit habang naglalakad patungo sa main gate ay natanaw niya si Gresso sa open field. 

He was sitting on one of the benches while Frenchie was giving his shoulders a massage. Naabutan pa niya ang matalim nitong titig kay Ysiah ngunit nang makitang tumingin siya ay umiwas rin kaagad ng tingin.

"LQ, hmm? Wala kang dalaw, eh," Ysiah teased.

Gie heaved a sigh. "If only I knew Trojan Lindstrom will always be a bad topic to him."

Ysiah scoffed. "Not just a bad topic. He's his kryptonite."

"Well, Gresso is not Superman. He's not a good guy. He's just an ordinary man who acquired power . . ." 

Natigilan siya. An ordinary man, huh? She glanced at him. Looks like she already know what kind of cake to give him.

"HARDER," asik ni Gresso kay Frenchie habang nasa open field sila't nagpapaaraw.

Kinulit-kulit siya kanina ni Frenchie na lumabas naman ng kanyang selda, at dahil rinding-rindi na siya sa patpating Pranses ay pinagbigyan niya na lamang kahit ayaw naman talaga niyang lumabas.

Stepping out of his cell means he'll be more tempted to go to the clinic again. Isang bagay na ayaw na niyang gawin dahil napasama nang husto ni Gie ang kanyang loob. 

"Bozz Grezzo? Iz that Mademoiselle? Look? Ohh! She'z egzitting thee prizon. Maybe Doctor Eeziah will take her on ee zate," ani Frenchie.

Awtomatikong tumingin si Gresso sa direksyong itinuro ni Frenchie. Galit siya ngayon kay Gie ngunit lalo yatang sumama ang loob niya nang makitang kasama nga nito si Ysiah at mukhang paalis ng kulungan. 

Saan na naman ba bibitbitin ni Ysiah ang doktor niya? Gusto yata talaga nitong mabalian ng buto bago lumayo kay Gie?

He saw her look at his direction. At dahil masama ang loob niya't nagseselos siya ay umiwas siya ng tingin. No, he's not going to talk to her no matter how much he wanted to break Ysiah's neck.
