Taste of Sanity (Seven Deadly Sinners #4)

Chapter 17

"WHY DO you, Commanders, keeps on calling me one by one? What the hell, do I look like I'm not busy?" Iritang bungad ni Tyzhel sa tawag ni Evion sa kan'ya sa gitna ng madaling araw. She's the impatient and ferocious Commander of the Sin of Greed.

"May itatanong lang." Evion, then, crossed her arms and heaved a sigh while sitting inside her office.

Her dark eyes were still painted with an amount of confusion. Tulog na si Polaris na magdamag niyang iniwasan matapos niyang umamin dahil sa hiya niya sa pagwawala. She didn't regret confessing, though.

For the first time in her whole existence, she expressed her suppressed feelings without having to think that it's an evil thing. She confessed, and it felt right.

"Make sure that it's important, Sullivan. I swear---"

"This is an emergency, Ty. Sabi ni Fin ay ikaw ang tawagan ko." Seryosong sambit niya habang nakatitig sa kung saan. She just disturbed her fellow Commander's sleep.

"And you actually believed that woman?" May halong gigil sa tono ng boses nito. Kilala si Finnly sa kanila na pinaka-maloko. "What?"

"Paano manligaw?" Evion spilled while softly biting her index finger out of anxiousness.

Natahimik sandali ang kabilang linya kaya napatingin siya ro'n ngunit hindi pa naman nakababa ang tawag. She's actually curious about it since she haven't done it. Nasanay siya na siya ang nililigawan.

But, if it's Polaris, she would definitely go beyond her limit. She would give anything that she desires to have. She would gladly give her life and soul to the girl who both took and gave back her lost sanity.

"Do you want to die, Sullivan?" Kalmadong tanong ng nasa kabilang linya, nagtitimpi ng galit. "You called in the middle of night just to ask that stupid question. Are you insane?"

Evion scoffed and chuckled afterwards without feeling scared. "Dearest Mikhailov, no one's sane in our family, remember?" She pointed out with amusement in her tone. Tinutukoy ang mga Commander na meron. "So? How did you? I don't know how to do it. Hindi ba't kinasal ka na? You didn't even invite me."

"F*ck you." Hindi pinansin ni Evion ang pagmumura nito dahil sanay na siya. Nagtatanong lang naman siya pero nagagalit ito. "I did not court my wife."

"Oh." Nagulat si Evion sa bagong nalaman at napaayos ng pagkakaupo. "So, how did you get her sweetest 'Yes'?" Interesadong tanong niya at sinuklay ang buhok pataas.

"I threatened their family." Simpleng sagot nito na parang walang gana. "She was left with no choice. She married me."

Napaisip naman si Evion at napangiwi. Tumango siya kahit na wala sa harapan niya ang kausap. Ayaw niya namang pilitin si Polaris sa kasal na gusto niya kung ayaw nito. She won't do that. She respects her decision. She will never force her girl to do something she doesn't want.

Evion wants to treat Polaris in the most gentle and calm manner she could ever do. Treat her properly, and treat her with the best she can. Polaris only deserves the best.

"Gano'n lang?"

"Yeah. Go to hell." 'Yon lang at mabilis na binaba na nito ang tawag.

"How did her wife have so much patience for this woman?" Tanong niya nang babaan siya nito ng tawag. Hindi niya maintindihan na may nakakatiis sa ugali nito.

It is utterly unbelievable to have people who can tolerate a Commander's weird demeanor.

Nagdial ulit siya sa phone niya at nang may maisip at--- "What?" Bungad sa kan'ya nito. Kalmado ang boses pero alam niyang naiirita ito.
