Waves of Desires

Chapter 3

"Dela Costa!!!"Napitlang ako dahil sa sigaw na nanggagaling sa ibaba. I heard a loud bang together with the deafening scream of Zyran. Parang gumalaw ang gusali dahil sa nakakabingi nyang sigaw.

I zip my pants, and rush to the living room where the scream was located. I heard another thud which makes me strides.

When I reach the living room, my eyes roamed around only to see the state of our living room. Magulo at nagkalat ang mga gamit. Oh fuck!

Did someone barge in? A thief? how about the security? tangina. How come the guards let the thief in.

"Dela Costa!!! I swear pag hindi ka  pumunta dito sasampalin kita." Napalingon ako sa kusina kong saan nanggagaling ang sigaw. Tumakbo ako patungo don trying to save someone who's in destress.

When I arrived, I halt. My lips form a straight smile.  Why am I rushing? 

Zyran is stretching his arms— hiding what's behind him from these two idiots who just barge in. 

"Tabi parang awa mo na gutom naako." Austine tried to push Zyran, but I quickly grab his collar same goes with Rafael distancing them from the dragon whose about to burst. 

Rafael tries to wiggle out of my grip while Austine completely sat on the floor and was about to cry. Sinamaan ko sila ng tingin.

"What the hell? Anong ginagawa nyo dito?" Singhal ko sakanila.

"Well... napadaan lang kami." Si Rafael. I roll my eyes. Hindi ko alam na nagkakalat pala sa sala ang mga taong 'napadaan' lang.

"Get your asses out of here." I drag them by the door. And was about to kick them out when Austine held my wrist.

"Pakainin mo naman kami, gutom na ako. Tanginang Villanueva kasi hindi nagluto," sambit nito. Nalukot naman ang mukha ko at pabagsak syang binitawan.

"Tanga, don ka magreklamo kay Villanueva at hindi dito," asik ko dito.

Hinigpitan nya ang hawak sa pulsohan ko habang nagmamakaawa, "Pakain lang naman ang damot mo!"

Inirapan ko sya bago sapilitang kinuha ang pulsohan ko sakanya, " Ulol ang dami mong pera, bumili ka nalang nang makakain hindi yung nambbwesit ka," His face lit up like that idea just crossed his mind

Tumayo ito ang pinagpagan ang suot na jeans, "Oo nga no!"

Napatampal nalang ako sa noo ko. Ang tanga.

"Gago ka Austine, may pera ka naman pala!" binatokan ni Rafael si Austine na ikinaismid naman nang isa.

"Tanga! may pera ka rin naman!" asik nito. "Tara jollibee?" 

"Ayaw ko baka maging bida-bida ako," si Rafael.

"Kahit hindi ka naman kumain nang Jollibee bida-bida kana," may mapanuyang saad ni Austine. Sinamaan naman sya ng tingin ni Rafael. 

"Kaya minsan hindi talaga applicable ang Freedom of speech sa iba, inaabuso kasi," rebat ni Rafael. 

Austine was about to retaliate when Rafael hushes him. "Stop it already. You and your unsolicited opinions," aniya. 

Napalatak si Austine, "How dare you???!!! According to Republic Act 1-- Putangina aray!!" 

My eyes widened when Austine got hit by a spatula on his head. Dahan-dahan kong binaling ang ulo ko sa direction ng taong  bumato kay Austine. There! I found Zyran leaning againts the counter and was fuming. He has this smile on his face, but you can clearly tell that his mad the way his eyes twitch.  

"Nag-aalaskahan kayo dyan  samantalang wala kayong balak linisin tong kalat nyo?" he calmly said, yet somehow harsh.

"Kunting kalat lang naman yan eh!"
