Chasing the Symphony

18

"Subukan mo!" I said to Simon when he tried to get near Kiro. clenching his teeth. While my eyes are fixating on Simon with so much anger,.


Simon put his tongue on the side of his cheeks. Looking so red and mad at Kiro's remarks. "Is that what you've got?" Panghahamon niyang sabi. Mariin napabuga ng malakas na hangin si jigs at hinawakan sa braso si Simon. "Don't ruin my party. Galit na sabi ni jigs.


I look at Kiro. He was still mad, with a frown on his forehead. Kiro took a breath before talking to Simon. "You know what? I won't go low; stop clogging your stupid brain with your stupid reasoning!" Kiro said in disgust. Pointing a finger at Simon. Nanunuya naman na tumingin si Simon Kay Kiro. "If your father is really innocent, then prove it on the court!" Sigaw ni kiro. Napahawak nalang ako sa braso niya. Nagkatitigan pa kami ni kiro habang nakikiusap ang mata ko sa kanya.


"Prove it? Bakit sigurado ka din ba na malinis ang konsensya ng magulang mo! All this time, you were acting like a victim, but you never had the guts to know the truth! Your parents are corrupt lawyers and politicians! "Malakas na sigaw ni Simon kay kiro. Naglilisik ang mata niya habang sinasabi ang mga 'yon.


"Ilang beses akong nagmaka-awa sa parents mo! Pero ano?? ... Sinira nila ang reputation ng daddy ko dahil sa kasakiman ng magulang mo! Kaya Huwag na Huwag mo akong pinagsasabihan ng mga Ganyan dahil mas masahol pa kayo at ng pamilya mo! "Panduduro pa niyang sabi kay kiro.


Mariin napapikit si kiro na tila ba pinipigilan niya ang sarili niya na huwag sumabog. He was shaking from so much anger. "Simon, that's enough! "I said. Shouted. I look at him with so much anger in my eyes.


"You don't have the right to disrespect anyone here! Pwede ba? Tumigil kana! "Masama ko siyang tiningnan. Napataas naman ang kilay niya at tumingin sa mata ko ng diretcho.


"Talagang pagkatapos ng mga sinabi ko, siya pa din paniniwalaan mo? Etong gagong to?! "Mapanuya niyang tinuro si kiro at kaagad ko naman hinawi ang kamay niya mula sa pagkakaduro kay kiro.


"Oo bakit?! Sino ka ba? Saka kung may problema ka sa parents ni kiro, hindi na niya kasalanan 'yun! Labas na siya sa issue ng magulang niya. Kaya pwede? Tigilan mo kakangawa at pambabastos mo, kasi mukha kang siraulo! "


Masama ang tingin na iginawad ni Simon sa akin. "Let see kung hanggang saan ka tatagal pagkatapos mo malaman lahat ng kahayupan ng pamilya nang pinagmamalaki mong boyfriend." Nag smirk pa ito. Napatingin nalang ako kay kiro habang masama ang tingin na iginawad ko kay Simon. Lumapit naman sa amin ang mga bouncer pagkatapos hinila palabas si Simon.


"Bitawan nyo ako! Mga gago! "Sigaw niya habang dala-dala siya ng mga bouncer. Kiro was clenching his fists as he stared at Simon. Napahawak nalang ako sa kamay niya. Tipid ako na ngumiti upang pakalmahin siya.


I can see the hurt in Kiro's eyes when he looks at me. Suddenly, I realized that he had been suffering in silence for so many years. And hearing those words from someone may really trigger him.

I patted his back.

"Are you okay? "I asked. Kiro nodded his head slowly. Reluctantly. "Yeah," he said as he continued to stare at Simon, who's being dragged by the bouncer.

"Pare, okay, ka lang? "Dali-dali naman nag punta si Jigs kay kiro upang kamustahin 'to. Tumango naman si Kiro. "Okay, lang ako. I'm sorry, nasira pa tuloy namin ang party mo," Kiro apologetically said. "No, it's okay, ako naman ang nag invite sa kanya, thinking na hindi siya manggugulo cause he promised after he approached Chiara last time." Sagot naman ni Jigs. Nagtataka naman ako na tumingin sa kanilang dalawa.

"What? "I asked. Confusingly. They both look at me. Kiro's eyes widened as he realized that I was still there. Napatingin naman sa akin si jigs. "Uhmm.. Chiara. I'm really sorry for what Simon did to you. Actually, Simon approached you last time when he heard that you were Kiro's girlfriend. And that guy was so mad at Kiro, and I never imagined na gagawin niya 'to sayo." Mapagkumbaba na sabi ni Jigs. Naguguluhan akong tumingin sa kanila.
