VISITOR

I couldn't find the courage to face all the man at the living room. It feels so awkward here.

After they came, Alejandro let me sit at the sofa but none of them sit beside me nor sit at this big sofa because Alejandro told them not to sit there because I am sitting there! I wanna complain, some of them sit at the couch and some were walking at the kitchen while Alejandro stand in front of his Smart TV which facing us like a strict instructor.

He's crossing his arms, waiting for his brothers to spill something, napahawak pa ako sa aking tuhod at isa-isa ko silang tiningnan. Iyong isa lang ang pamilyar sa akin, iyong mukhang jolly tingnan, siya iyong nakita ko sa program ng school. Iyong apat naman ay hindi ko na kilala, napansin kong mag kakaiba ang kulay ng kanilang mga mata pero pare-pareho sila ng tindig. Their features does match with each other but they are all so tall, pareho pa yata sila halos ng height. These men are scary if they become harmful like Alejandro.

"Where's your drinks here?" ani ng isang galing sa kusina. Alejandro glared at him awfully and I can't help turning the back of my head to see who it was.

It's the man with a clean cut hair and moreno. He's tall, much more like a built sporty man.

"Where did you get my card? this suite is private." Alejandro answered him. I look at Alejandro and almost jump when he walk towards me and stood in front of me.

I straighten my face as my eyes drifted to his crotch. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. He's so near! He's standing in front of me and his crotch is displaying in front of me! tiningala ko siya at mukhang walang kaalam-alam na nasa harapan ko ang ang...

Tiningnan ko iyon ulit at nakitang nakabukol iyon, napasandal ako sa sofa at tiningala siya pero tinitimbang lang nito ang titig sa kapatid niya. Nawala na tuloy sa isipan ko ang pinag uusapan nila.

"I just swiped it." the man with clean cut hair said.

"Carmella couldn't open it even if she had the privilege. Just leave and send me the damn email." masungit na sinabi ni Alejandro, mahinang natawa ang kausap nito.

"Hindi naman pwede iyon. Masyadong closed off ang transactions. Isa pa, hahayaan mo bang mahihila lang ang Donomie para sa isang walang kasiguraduhang kasal?"

Alejandro licked his lip, "You know I don't decide out of the blue, Arzhel. Besides, I have properties. That could help." he sounds confident and turn his head to the man sitting at the couch with a jolly face which the one I familiarized with.

"Right, Alas?" he ask him.

Alas shrugged, "Yeah. I have island. I owe that."

"Jesus, did you buy the La Caniega?" the man with curly hair asked from the other couch. The man behind him chuckles with the one with a jet black normal looking hair.

Alas smirked, "That's for the save up. I have a back up plan. I think she doesn't want to marry me because she thinks I'm 55 years old."

They laugh. Kinagat ko ang labi ko para pigilang makitawa sa kanila, Alejandro smirked and faced Alas as he put his hands on his pockets. Nakahinga ako ng malalim dahil nailayo na niya sa pag mumukha ko ang ang ano niya.

"Alas, you're 26." the man behind Alas said as he burst into laughter.

26? kumunot ang noo ko. How old is Alejandro, then?

They continue talking about the marriage of Alas. They almost didn't notice me but I know they know I'm just here and I wanna go home. Nag tagal pa ng ilang sandali hanggang sa pumunta na sila sa kusina para mag halungkat ng pag kain, tsaka ako nakahinga ng maluwag pero naiwan naman si Alejandro sa akin. He put his hands on his pockets as he stood in front of me.
