Nights with Mister Ten

Nights with Mister Ten - 41

Si Henry:

Dumaan muna ako sa bahay para magbihis bago ako pumunta sa hospital.

Pagpasok ko ay kumakain pa lang si kuya ng tanghalian.

Andon din si Hilton na nanonood ng TV.

"May ginawa ka nanaman to trigger dad?"

Umupo ako sa couch.

"Ang bilis naman ng balita kuya."

"He was here late last night. He was gonna book Trixie but she's not available."

"I'm getting married soon. Can't I have some fun?"

"Married? What? You're really gonna marry Kianna kuya?"

Napatingin ako kay Hilton.

"Yeah."

Pumalakpak siya.

"Finally kuya."

"What?!?"

"Hindi na kami mag-aalala sayo!"

"At kelan ka pa nag-alala sakin?"

"Lagi noh! I thought you're gay!"

"Gago!"

Tumawa kaming tatlo.

"So you booked Trixie and?"

"You know what happens after a booking kuya."

"But she's your friend."

"And?"

"Ewan ko sayo. Mga kabataan nga naman!"

"Parang ikaw walang ginawa sa Pensèe ah."

"I did when Hannah and I were divorcing."

"Were divorcing? Hindi niyo na ba itutuloy?"

"Itutuloy. I meant in the process of divorcing."

"Haaay magpapakasal ka kuya Henry baka magaya ka kina kuya Harold. Mom and dad also."

"Well, Kianna wants to marry me because she don't want to handle her dad's business."

"At pumayag ka naman?"

"I do like her. It's just an additional factor for our marriage."

"Do you guys don't believe in love?"

Napatingin kami ni Hilton kay kuya.

"Seriously kuya! Sayo talaga nanggaling yan?" Hilton

"I loved Hannah that's why we got married."

"And you're divorcing because you love Karina now?"

Hindi nakasagot si kuya sa sinabi ni Hilton.

"Wag ka na lang gumaya samin pagtanda mo." Sabi ko.

"I date so many girls. I don't know if I can marry anyone. Nga pala. Can I go to Pensèe?"

"NO!"

Sabay pa kami ni kuya Harold.

"Why not? Lahat kayo pumupunta don."

"Babaero ka na dadagdagan mo pa ang mga babae mo?" Harold

"Of course!"

"Go there once you finish your studies." Singit ko.

"Fine."

"Anyway. Ino texted me. He apologized for what he did."

"May puso din pala ang hayop na yun."

"Oo naman. Hindi lang halata. And kuya I heard what you said to Karina. Don't put complicated things in her mind."
