AS a MAN

chapter 24 (Thalia...)

Kudos POV

I pickup my phone when it rang. David calling me out of blue. He's a police man, a general police and also my friend.

"Thalia out on her cage. She's here in hospital, a wounded. I don't know but I feel Thalia seems don't know what's going on. She show herself on the police station and she's filing a case on your lover Tasha reign. I need your presence on my office this afternoon. So yeah that's all good bye"

"Bye" and when I say that he end up the call. He's still rude. He never been fun of slow talk. Gusto niya direct talk. Wala na rin naman akong Nagawa kundi ang mag paalam sa kanya. Paano ako sasagot kong wala siyang preno mag salita.

But still he's the best among the best. We have a lot of friends but only 5 of us stay together.

"Daddy" a small voice interrupt me.

"Yes baby?" She pouted and cling on shoulder.

"I want to go in tita Ale's house. Hatid mo'ko daddy, pretty please" she give me her puppy eyes, and her wide smile.

"Ok, and please behave in your tita and titos house ok?" Mabilis siyang tumango.

Hinatid ko na nga siya sa bahay nila Nyx.

"Hello there sweet Thaly" bati sa kanya ni Aleyah. She smile on me. Tumakbo na nga kong saan si Thaly, feel at home.

"I drop her here, I going somewhere kasi. Tasha is not home rin" Nyx give me his famous cold stare, pero ng mapatingin ang asawa nito ayy lulamlam ang mata nito at ngumiti sa asawa.

"Hey don't scare Kudos like that, baby" hinilig ni Aleyah ang ulo nito sa dibdib ni Nyx, I didn't know I came here for a live show.

"I'm not scaring him my love. It's ok you can rest, is your back still hurts?" If your wondering Aleyah is now pregnant. I think 3 months na.

"I don't want to. Where's the kids?" Malambing niyang tanong sa asawa. He carress her hair. And kiss her there.

"In the tree house I guess"

"I should get going, I'm going somewhere important. Bye love birds " I didn't wait for their response.

At police station.

"Hey there Freshman. Thalia photo" binato niya sa akin ang brown envelope, damn this man. Bastos talaga kahit kylan.

"Salamat ha" sarkastikong ani ko. He rolled his eyes.

"Your very much welcome" umupo ito sa swivel chair niya. Even without his command I comfortably seat on sofa. I'd open the envelope.

"So paanong na sangkot si Tasha dito?" Nag tataka kong tanong. That's the only question I've been thinking while dropping off here.

"Ayon Kay Thalia, your lover kidnapped her and tortured her. And after two day of being torture Tasha free her. And that's the biggest question here. Why did she chose to free Thalia if she can just kill her?"

"Stop accusing her David. You don't have concrete evidence. I can sue you for that" banta ko sa kanya. Again he roll his eyes on me.

"Stop that drama Kudos, think carefully. What if Tasha really do it. Be logic here" if ever man na totoo yon then that's not the problem, it's not a problem.

"Then?" Nalilito din ako dito Kay David, what's the problem on that.

"Fuck, ikaw ki bata mopa talandi kanang animal ka. Well hindi naman talaga yon ang problema dito, wala naman talagang problema. Its a prank" he said cooly. It was a big ? On me. Ok what the hell, so why I am here?

"I was bored, the boredom eating me. Hindi niyo na ba ako naaalala. Look Kudos I'm lonely, I'm alone in life. I feel no friends here" I raised my middle finger on him. So dramatic psycho.

"Btw you invited on my wedding, here's your invitation card. You can bring your family in my wedding day, that's not a problem. I found a perfect woman for me. So please be there ok?" I smile on him.

"Congratulation buddy, don't I definitely come" I also tap his shoulder. Before bidding him a goodbye. Ngumisi ako damn, I still remember when he told me that woman is toxic, but look at him now marrying because he found the one.

Six years had past, I am now familiar to them, I'm familiar in Kudos friends. Still thankful to God, I think he gave me what I deserve.

"Tito Kudos" I stop walking when I heard a familiar voice. It's non other than Andrei Grayson. He end up Grayson since he found his real family. Yes, hindi niya talaga tita ang sinasabi niya dati it was his kidnapper. But thankfully he found them, they also part of family family, Grayson Mafia one of the richest Mafia in 5th continent.

But he insist that he wanted to stay in the person who help him. And that's Aleyah.

"Yes Drei?" I ask him. That's shortcut for Andrei. He hug me and I hugged him back. He's already tall but not in my height.

"I just saw you passing in this pathway. Btw I'm with my girlfriend" and that's not shocking anymore, since his perfectly handsome.

"Hmm  that's cool, did your mother know this?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay, he look tense. I saw him gulp.

"No, still not I'm still not sure about this girl" nahihiya itong hinimas ang Batok niya. Ngumiti pa ito ng maliit sa akin.

"Stop playing girls feeling Andrei" I used my strict voice to him.

"Wag lang gagaya sa tito Onex mo. That's not good, be a man not a boy" I patted his head again. Bahagya lang itong tumango.

"You're right tito, I should be like dad" his implying to Nyx his daddy. Papa at mama naman ang tawag sa tunay niyang magulang it was ok to them too.

"That's good to hear. Go back to your girlfriend already, be nice. Goodbye"

"Goodbye tito" he ran back to his so called girlfriend. I just shook my head. He's very obedient young man.
