Chapter 21: boyfriend duties
COOLER
Rustia was not that needy—a thing that I expect from a woman. It's my sixth day out of the country pero wala akong narinig na ha ni ho mula sa kanya. At kahit noong nasa bansa pa ako ay hindi kami nagkita ng halos isang linggo dahil masyadong busy sa trabaho.
And fast forward to almost two weeks time, wala pa rin akong natanggap na mensahe mula sa kanya. And for that almost two weeks time that we didn't see each other, hindi man lang ba niya ako hinanap? Namiss?
Normally, I like it when girls are not clingy, so why the hell I feel uneasy of Rustia's lack of checking on me?
Binilin ko rin ang kaligtasan niya kay Mnemosyne so I can rule out the reason na nasa peligro siya kaya hindi siya makatext, tawag o chat sa akin.Wait, does she even know my social media handles?
Muli akong napabuntong-hininga at sumandal. I cannot complain dahil hindi naman kami, but does it hurt to ask about my whereabouts? Nang nagtext ako sa kanya na aalis dahil sa trabaho, she didn't even ask me which country I would be going. Damn, I should have instructed Mnemosyne to keep a better eye on her, like update me on whatever she was doing.
I took another sip of the whiskey and sighed.
"Ninth," wika ni Poseidon. He was sitting across from me with a home magazine in his hand.
Napatingin ako sa kanya. "Huh?"
Ibinaba niya ang magazine at diretsong tumingin sa akin. "That's your ninth sigh since we boarded the plane. It's not even an hour yet."
I shook my head and avoided his gaze. Ganoon na ba ako kalala? I slouched in my seat and took another sigh.
"Okay, that's the tenth," sabi ni Poseidon.
I glared at him. "Stop counting."
He crossed his legs and gave his full attention to me. "You recently heard from Cronus na nasa mabuti siyang kalagayan and one of these days ay sisimulan na ang operasyon niya. Your brother Gray also agreed to celebrate your upcoming birthday with you. Our transaction was successful, and in fact, we closed another deal na hindi sana parte ng itinerary natin sa lakad na 'to. The only reason I could think of why you've been sighing countless times is Jaja."
Damn, sometimes I hate how sharp Poseidon is.
I debated with myself kung sasabihin ko ba sa kanya at hayaan siyang tuksuin ako, but my frustration got ahead of me.
"Hindi man lamang niya ako kinumusta," I replied looking away. She normally bothers me with her fascination with the microwave, or anything ordinary but new to her. She also used to text me random ramblings about anything.
