THE ROZOVSKY HEIRS 9 | DANIEL GONZALO
CHAPTER ONE | BELIEF
DANNY
"What's the occasion?"
Iyon ang bungad ko kay Kuya Damien nang sagutin ang tawag ko. Naka-receive ako ng text kay Mommy na kailangan kong pumunta ngayong dinner sa bahay namin. Dapat ay nasa Play Space ako. It was a big night tonight. New models would be introduced from the members of my sex club. A bidding would be held and those Russian girls would be taken home by some of my lucky members tonight.
And I needed to be there. I needed to see how my club was getting famous. How those animals would become rabid just by bidding those women. I wanted to see how they spend their hard-earned money in my club. I didn't want to miss that part.
But I couldn't say no to my Mom.
"Mom wanted us to be here. There will be visitors too." Damang-dama ko ang saya sa boses ni Kuya Damien. Hindi pa ba naman sasaya ang kapatid kong ito, kakatapos lang ng kasal nila ni Peyton two months ago. Kakauwi lang last week mula sa walang tigil na travel around the world. Kinailangan nga lang nilang umuwi dahil buntis na si Peyton. Ni-require na ng doctor na mag-bedrest.
"Visitors? Sino? And I need to be there? You know how busy I am," reklamo ko habang naglalakad palabas ng office ko. Nakita ko si Griffin na kakatapos lang magta-tattoo ng isang client at alam kong huli na niya iyon ngayon araw. Sinenyasan ko siyang hintayin ako.
"You know you cannot say no to Mom," magiliw pa rin ang boses ni Kuya. Naririnig ko pang sinasaway ang mga anak niya.
"But I need to be in my club," hininaan ko pa ang boses ko dahil pakiramdam ko makakatikim ako ng pingot kapag narinig ito ni Mommy.
"Sorry, bro. You need to be here. Do you need to choose? Your club or Mom?" Tumawa siya ng nakakaloko. "It's like choosing between food or water."
"Funny." Asar kong sabi at tumawa nang nakakaasar. "Fine. I'll be there. But would you know who are Mom's visitors? Mamaya 'yong mga taga-orphanage na naman 'yan. Alam mo naman ang mga madre na 'yon parang gulat na gulat kapag nakikita ang mga tattoos natin. Laging parang mga naeeskandalo."
Tuluyan nang natawa si Kuya Damien. "Hindi ka pa ba nasanay? But, I don't know. Mom said it's a surprise. See you, bro. The twins are missing you already."
Doon na ako napangiti. "Tell them I have gifts for them. All right, see you."
Napabuga ako ng hangin nang matapos kaming mag-usap ni Kuya. Nagtatanong ang tingin sa akin ni Griffin dahil hindi ko siya pinaalis agad.
"What's up?" Tinapunan pa ng tingin ni Griffin ang dumaan na client niya at kumaway dito. "Anything wrong?"
Natawa ako. "Anything wrong ka diyan. Just going to ask you if you are good here? Are you enjoying your stay?"
