PAPAS

CHAPTER ONE

Vigo was silently sitting at their white furry couch that he had bought from France. He was trying to focus on the documentary he was watching on their massive television when he heard Rhett— the motherfucker who always complains about everything but can't even lift a finger to do house choirs.

"Baka naman gusto niyo magluto ng pananghalian, Vigo?" Kunot na kunot ang noo nito sabay lingon sa lalakeng nakaupo malapit sa paanan niya at tulalang nakaitingin din sa tv, "Szadi?"

Vigo did not even bother to give a glance at Rhett, making the latter one flip its middle finger.

Szadi shrugged his shoulder and stood up, "anong oras na ba?" Tanong pa nito habang tinatamad na naglakad patungong kusina.

"Quarter to twelve." Rhett.

"Breakfast time—" Szadi.

"It's lunch. L.U.N.C.H!" Rhett exclaimed as he followed Szadi, who was now looking inside the fridge, "gusto ko ng karne. Ayaw ko ng gulay sa kakainin ko—"

"How about you cook for yourself?" Vigo entered with a deadpan look. Hands on his pocket. "I want vegetables. Sza, make side dishes. I will cook the rice."

"Okay." Szadi simply answered as he started moving.

"What about me?" Rhett asked while pointing at himself, "I want meat! Steak, to be exact!"

"Why not make your own food?" Vigo repeated.

Rhett smiled and flexed his muscles as he sat on their island counter. "I need proteins."

The two just rolled their eyes as they started cooking for their lunch. More than an hour passed when Rhett started to prepare the dining table.

"Nag-chat na ba si Saxen?" Szadi.

Kunot ang noo na tumingin sa relong pambisig si Vigo bago umiling habang si Rhett naman ay naupo sa sariling pwesto sa harap ng dining table.

"Kagabi pa 'yon wala." Rhett said as he fished his phone in his pocket, "I'll give him a ring."

"Go on." Vigo answered and started placing the foods in the table.

Everything is ready. From the four dining chairs, same couts of utensils and all. The dining area is not as massive like in their own mansions, but it was huge enough for four people dining all together.

The whole kitchen was coloured with cream combined with black cabinets. Rhett preferred the kitchen to be manly, a combination of 'musculity' because he'll be eating every day in that specific spot of their unit— as his usual comment but Szadi likes the homey kitchen because he is The Cook, he gets to decide what it should look like and that is his spot— his sacred haven in their unit!

They owned the whole 30th floor of this condominium building. It has four rooms in the second floor and a room in the first floor that is filled with a complete set of gym equipment. The living room was massive with the touch of off-white walls paired with floor to ceiling windows.

Ang buong isang haligi ng unit nila ay gawa sa pinaka matibay na salamin dahilan para kitang-kita ang kagandahan ng buong siyudad.

Agaw pansin din ang chandelier na nakasabi sa napakataas nilang kisame na kahit halos nasa dalawangpubg talampakan ang taas. Ang chadelier na galing pa ng ibang bansa at halos pagtawanan ng tatlo dahil si Vigo talaga ang may gusto nito. Halos lahat yata ng gustong gamit ng lalake ay imported ay mamahalin.

Mula sa couch set, mga tukador at amenities ng unit nila ay ito ang namimili dahil nga para saan pa raw ang pera nito kung hindi gagastusin sa paraan na ikakasiya nito.
