"How was your day?" He asked while setting up the plates to have dinner.
Ever since Apollo went missing, Chaos has been nothing but a big care bear for me. He was always there for me, whenever I cry, whenever I sigh and all the kinds of whenever I've had when I was missing my king. He was like the big brother that I wish I had. He was very attentive to anything and everything that I want. Minsan kapag nalulungkot ako, iiwan niya ang trabaho niya para lang mapuntahan ako. May it be just my moment of weakness for losing hope of ever finding my heart.
I never would've survived the heartache if it weren't for him and Matilda.
I owe them big time.
"It was great. We had a lot of fun. You know, Matilda." I said as I stared at him in his white shirt and black slacks. His hair was disheveled, he looked relaxed and he was barefoot. "How long have you been here? Kakarating mo lang ba?"
He poured juice into my glass and I watched as it was filled, "Di naman. Napaaga kasi ang out ko sa office. My meeting was rescheduled." He paused, "May nangyari lang kasi. I had to go and check it out." He said as he sat on the chair opposite to mine. He put food on my plate before he did the same to his.
I used to do that to Apollo.
May nagaasikaso kaya sa kanya ngayon?
I cleared my throat and tilted my head, "Chaos," He hummed at me but continued to chew his food. Kumuha pa siya ulit. We were eating lasagna for dinner. It was a takeout that he bought. "Do-do you have news?" I asked as my heart continued to pound waiting for a miracle and bracing myself for another disappointment. "Did-did someone call? Or anything?"
Please.
He stopped chewing and grabbed his drink. I waited for his reply, anticipating a change of fate's design. God, I hope so. He cleared his throat and looked at me, "Why? May nangyari ba sayo ngayong araw na to? Anything strange?"
I exhaled, "Wala naman. Pero kasi-"
"Kung may balita ako sasabihin ko sayo." He said and continued eating again.
My shoulders slumped. "Baka lang naman kasi may pagbabago. Baka kasi may tumawag or-"
"Caly, sasabihin ko kung may balita na. Please eat." He said lowly. His voice almost strangled. Almost croaked. Almost angry. Why-
But I couldn't stop.
"Ang tagal tagal na kasi nating naghahanap Chaos pero bakit hanggang ngayon wala pa rin tayong lead? Diba-diba madami ka namang connection? Iisang tao lang naman si Apollo. It wouldn't take a squad to find him. Wala naman siyang ibang mapapagtaguan, hindi ba? It's been 5 months since the search operation bakit hanggang ngayon ni isang balita wala tayong natatanggap? Baka kung ano ng nangyari kay Apollo-"
