Kabanata 03 - Gayle Uchika Diaz
It's been a week since we have stayed here in somewhere we don't know. They also have transferred us in a larger room na may malaking bathroom din. I couldn't help but imagine how really big this building is.
They let us visit Dylan from time to time if we got bored since his doctor suggested it would make him feel better if someone will talk to him even he's not conscious. They also gave us a lot of foods and snacks so we were not in a place to complain.
Aki has also been enjoying her time here ogling men that are guarding us. Every night, Faison and Lander take some of their time to chat with us. Yesterday, we even played Uno. Even if the office of their boss was in the same floor with us, we haven't see him these past few days.
I got up from my bed when my back feels sore. We just have watched movies the entire day. This may be a sign that we need to do some exercise tomorrow.
"Bisitahin ko muna si Dylan. Nanakit na iyong likod ko.", sabi ko kay Aki na bahagyang natawa. I did some stretching bago lumabas sa kwarto. We have two guards, one in the morning and another one in the evening. Their names were Jason and Deej.
I like Deej more since he has this light aura that won't make you comfortable. He's also friendly sabi nga niya ay if makakauwi na kami he'll have a day off para bisitahin kami. Pagkarating ko naman sa kwarto ay agad ko din namang binuksan ang pinto. Napakurap-kurap naman ako nang makitang nakaupo sa may upuan katabi ng kama iyong boss nila.
"Sorry, I didn't knock. Kadalasan kasi walang bumibisita.", hinging paumanhin ko but he didn't replied back. He just keeps on staring at me. I took a deep breath before saying something.
"Babalik nalang ako mamaya, sorry sa abala.", I was about to close the door nang tumayo ito saka pinigilan ako.
"I'm done, you can come in.", bulong niya kaya napapikit ako ng mariin. He's whispering but it sent shivers to my spine! Kung ikukumpara talaga siya kina Faison, mahuhuluan mo agad na siya iyong boss. His fvcking demeanor screams authority.
"Oh, okay. Thank you.", sagot ko nalang. Ano kaya ang pabango niya? He smells heavenly. Papasok naman sana ako nang maalala kong hindi ko pa alam ang pangalan niya. Would it be fine if I'll ask him?
"Would you mind me asking what's your name?", napansin ko namang napatigil ito at lumingon sa akin. Muli niya ma naman akong tinitigan and he scanned my face as if he's memorizing every detail.
"Solistaire", sagot niya kaya ako na naman itong napatitig sa kanya. Solistaire? A very unusual name, but pretty good. Tumango naman ako saka siya nginitian.
"I'm Gayle Uchika, you can call me anything you want.", hindi ko naman pinapahalatang kinakabahan ako. Sa tindi ba naman ng mga titig niya, I could melt in an instant.
"Uchika is not your middle name?", his voice was raspy but he was able to say that in a very soft and calming manner.
"No, it's my second name. I don't have a middle one, since I don't have a father. Kay mama iyong iyong surname kong Diaz.", sagot ko sa kanya kaya tumango naman ito.
"Then, what about Chichi?", aniya kaya naiwang ko naman ang mga labi. Is he even serious? He glanced at my parted lips kaya agad ko din namang pinaalalahan ang sarili kung sino itong kasama ko. He could see the panic in my eyes kaya napansin kong bahagya itong ngumiti na nawala rin in a split of a second.
"Just kidding. I'll call you Gayle.", turan niya kaya ako naman itong tumango.
"But if you really want to, you can just call me Chichi.", sabi ko habang nakatingin sa kanya. He raised an eyebrow at me kaya nagkibit balikat lang ako.
"Goodbye, Sol.", paalam ko sa kanya at tumango naman ito saka nagsimulang maglakad papalayo. Napatingin naman ako kay Dylan na wala pa ring malay. Nakakahiya iyon kung sakaling nagising siya tapos iyon ang nabungaran niya.
Hinawakan ko naman ang dibdib ko dahil na rin sa tila ba hindi magkahumayaw ang tibok nito.
What the hell is happening to me?

Solistaire Achilles Morris
For the first time of my 30 fvcking years of existence I feel giddy about something. I don't know but I could feel a rush of blood in my cheeks. Am I blushing? Like what the hell? I am not a teen anymore! I should get a grip already.
When I arrived at my office, Faison and Lander was there drinking some coffee. We have a pantry area in this floor but they keep on insisting on drinking here because they like the vibe.
"Boss! Binisita mo si Dylan?", tanong sa akin ni Dylan and I nodded. I sat in my swivel chair giving them looks because they're enjoying this too much.
"Parang nagkakape lang eh. Damot mo boss.", Lander pouted so I crunched my nose before throwing some papers at him.
"Mandiri ka, Lander. Please lang.", sabi ni Faison which I gave a thumbs up.
"May date ka na nga pala, boss?", napatingin naman ako kay Faison dahil sa tanong niya?
"For what?", I asked him and he looked at me as if I've grown a horn on my forehead.
"The Felon's charity event? They keep on insisting about you bringing a date, aren't they?", I tilted my head remembering what my uncle said last month. Sh*t! He keeps on talking about my love life nonstop so I just shut him up by telling him that I'm gonna bring my girl on his charity event.
Napahilot nalang ako sa sentido ko dahil dito. He keep on saying that at the age of 23 he already got married to his wife. And he always doubts me because I was never been seen with a woman. He thinks that a man without a woman won't be considered a man.
Like his nonsense philosophy in life!
"It's in 3 days, right?", I asked them and they both nodded.
"Can you find me someone? Someone who's not that clingy.", the last time we hired someone like in ages ago I almost blew her head up for clinging into me so much.
Almost all of us don't really have a life outside this world so I think neither the both of them knew someone I could bring to the party. We sat there in silence when Lander's face lit up.
"What if?", tinaasan naman namin siya ng kilay ni Faison.
"Sila Gayle at Aki kaya?", he suggested so I grabbed a handful of paper before throwing it at him.
"Dumba*s, I know it's s charity event but I couldn't afford to bring one of them since it would be dangerous. We need someone who can fight or even shot a gun in case things won't go smoothly.", I told him but he kept his annoying smile on his face.
"One of them knows how to shoot a gun and is good in fighting.", he muttered so we exchange glances with each other.
"Which one of them?", Faison asked.
"The purple hair, Gayle.", he answered so I looked away when I feel something in my cheeks. D*mn it! What the hell is this?
