Reincarnated in that Story

24

Napabuntong-hininga ulit ako ng hindi parin nila sagutin ang tawag.

I am here sitting at the edge of the bed, trying to call Kuya Hades.

Tatlong oras na din makalipas nang hindi pa rin humuhupa ang malakas na buhos ng ulan sa labas.

"It's getting late, you should get some sleep,"

Napalingon naman ako kay Havoc na ngayon ay eleganteng nakaupo sa single seat sofa ng hotel room n inuukupa namin. He's holding a wine glass that he ordered earlier.

I flinch a bit when I heard thud sound in the other room. Hindi ko na sana ito papansinin ng makarinig ulit ako ng lagabog. Then, my eyes widened when I got to remember who are in the other room.

Napatayo ako sa taranta at dali-daling pumunta sa pintuan. But when I was about to hold the doorknob, someone quickly hold my arm.

"Where are you going?" Kuya Havoc ask with a big frown on his face.

"Sila Sachi at Kuya Helix," I exclaimed at him.

The frown on his face dissapeared as if he realized something. Binitawan nya naman ako at s'ya na ang nagbukas ng pintuan para sa amin.

Pagkarating namin sa kabilang kwarto, tumambad sa amin si Helix at Sachi na kapwa hawak na ang kani-kanilang kwelyo.

"Kuya," I muttered Kuya Havoc's name.

In one blink of an eye, Kuya Havoc was on the middle between Sachi and Helix.

"Ano nangyayari?" I ask the two of them when I got closer to them.

Masama ang timpla ng mukha ni Sachi habang nakatiim-baga naman si Helix.

"Sa sahig na nga ako matutulog, bakit ka pa nagrereklamo ha?!" Pagsigaw na tanong ni Sachi kay Helix.

"Because you fucking took two pillows in the bed!" Pabalik naman na sigaw ni Helix.

I look at the floor beside the bed, may nakalatag na isang comforter na ginawang higaan at dalawang puting unan.

"Ganyan ba talaga kayong mga rich kid? Maarte? Meron na ka pa ngang tatlong unan, gusto mo pa ng marami?" Mahabang lintanya ni Sachi kay Helix.

I examine the bed and Sachi was right. Helix has three pillows and one comforter, kaya ano pang pinuputok ng butsi ni Helix?

Halata namang mas maganda pa ang hinihigaan ni Helix kaysa kay Sachi.

"Stop that." Havoc finally spoke with authority in his voice.

Nakita kong napatikom ang bibig ng dalawa sa tono ng boses ni Kuya Havoc. His voice was hinting with coldness.

Tumikhim naman ako.

"Helix can you stop hating Sachi just for now? Just for this night, please Kuya, pare-pareho tayong pagod ngayon kaya sana ipag-pabukas na lang sana ito," Paki-usap ko dito.

I scanned them, and tiredness was evident on their faces. Para bang isang pikit lang nila, makakatulog na sila.

I know that Sachi was fighting for the urge to fall asleep because he knows that Helix is with him pero halata na kasi na pagod ito at antok na antok na. On the other hand, Helix's face is filled with sour and annoyed look but his eyes was deep. Senyales na pagod na rin ito at kailangan ng tulog.

"Yvonne is right," Sachi agreed with me.

I glanced at Kuya Havoc, he nodded at our response.
