Tune of Rapture (Echoes #2)

Chapter 38

To everyone affected by the typhoon, stay safe. Many people are live streaming and no longer have homes because they were flooded. Let's pray for those who were affected, including the animals that drowned and are no longer safe, even though I am late in writing this. Keep safe everyone!!

ps. wala muna kissing scene kasi may bagyo. :)

Chapter 38

Forgive

"Pasok ka..."

I ran my hand back through my hair before walking to the door where Sergo stood. He was still standing there, looking hesitant to enter, although his expression remained stern.

"Papasok saan?" rinig kong tanong ni Reon.

Matalim ko siyang nilingon. Humalakhak lang siya bago muling naupo sa sofa. I sighed and looked at Sergo again. His raised eyebrow seemed to be waiting for me to approach him. Narinig ko ulit ang pag hagikgik ni Reon.
Tangina naman.

Sergo shifted his gaze to him. He furrowed his brow before returning his attention to me. I clenched my jaw and swung the door wide open because he seemed so big in there.

Tumingin muli siya ng isang beses kay Reon bago pumasok na. Agad akong tumalikod. Nasulyapan ko pa ang kumag sa sofa na mahinang tumatawa. Nag katinginan kami. Umirap ako.

Tumingin ako kay Sergo na parang hindi natutuwa dahil may kasama kaming dalawa. He sat there looking very manly. He met my eyes with a hint of irritation.

"Akala ko ay mamaya ka pa." I said and walked towards my desk.

I adjusted my necktie because I felt like I was suffocating. I sat on the swivel chair and spun it around. I looked at Sergo. He placed his drink down and sat across from Reon. Reon, on the right sofa, was playing with his lips while leaning back.

Nang mapansin ng kumag ang aking tingin, tumaas ang kilay niya sabay kibot ng labi.

"Ipakilala mo naman ako..." aniya.

Umismid ako. Ayokong mag kakilala silang dalawa pero mabait naman ako kaya sige.

"Sergo, si Reon nga pala," I chuckled. Hindi ko alam pero natatawa ako.

Reon raised his right hand, his eyes smiling along. Sergo hesitated before accepting Reon's hand in the air. I leaned back on the swivel chair and laughed. I bit my lower lip when Sergo glanced at me.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Maging friendly ka naman minsan! Sungit nito.

"Nice to meet you... pre? Bro? Dude? Ano bang itatawag ko sa 'yo?" Reon playfully said, looking at me as well.

"Just call him-"

"Ah, bayaw?" He looked at me.

Anong bayaw? Kapatid ko ba siya?

"Sergo. Ayos na 'yung Sergo." tapos ko sa sasabihin.

Sergo lowered his hand and looked back at me. He seemed to be hinting in the way he looked at me. He probably wanted me to send Reon away so we could talk. It wasn't necessary.

Pag katapos naman naming mag usap ay sasama na ako kay Reon papuntang court. Sergo and I would talk briefly. We wouldn't take long. I knew he had work to do and just stopped by here. Reon wouldn't interfere in our conversation, so it was fine for him to be here.

At mapapaalis ko ba 'to? Para nang nagiging puso ang mata dahil nakita niya ang model ng boxer na suot niya.

"Bayaw? Kapatid ka ba ni Leroy?" Sergo asked in a deep and somewhat baritone voice.
