Hooked By His Twin

3-Flashback: Drake's Fate

"Why do you have to put a blindfold? Pa'no ako mag-eenjoy nito, Blaire 'e nakapiring ako?" Natatawang saad ni Drake at noon ay wala ng makita at dahan-dahan inalalayan ni Blaire papasok.

Drake heard his friend's voices. Naroroon lahat ang barkada niya since highschool at mga kaibigan sa trabaho.

"When Ava suddenly withhold from our wedding, I'll fire ya'll—I certainly start with Clayton!"

He yelled and being anxious sa kung ano mang binabalak ng mga pilyong kaibigan niya. Isa iyong stag party, though, he didn't like the idea watching a strip girl dances in front of them—pero mukhang iyon nga ang posibleng mangyari.

"Don't you dare, pare..You'll regret losing a 'big fish' in the company." Ani ni Clayton habang tinanggal ang piring sa mga mata nito.

"Just forget about Ava just for this night, pare. Besides, your life sentence will be next week."

Ani naman ni George na katabi ni Blaire. Naroon rin ang mga highschool barkada niya na pawang mga babaero na sina William, Francis habang sina Wilbert, Mike, at Kent na mga trusted collegues niya ay naroroon rin.

Drake roamed his eyes around the room. It was filled of colorful lights na may maliit na entablado at pole sa gitna.

"Ava will surely dislike this. I'd better go." Drake had decided not to proceed the evening with his friends—ano naman kung 'di na niya mararanasan ang buhay-binata, she loves Ava so much and this 'stag party' will never be the reason para 'di siya pakasalan ng babaeng kaytagal niyang iningatan at hinangad in his entire life.

"Pare, the party is about to start!" Hiyaw ni Francis habang iwinagayway ang boteng hawak. Pati na rin ang ibang kasamahang ay parang sinindihan nang pumailanlang ang malamyos na musika.

"Pare, relax lang.. Just stay here for 15 minutes kung 'di mo nagustohan—we'll set you free." Mike said at tinapik ang balikat niya.

"Hell! Alright, 15 minutes." Drake affirmed at inayos ang pagkakaupo and inhaled heavily. In his mind was Ava's face—nagi-guilty siya. But at the first place, hindi naman niya alam na stag party ang pupuntuhan niya.

Maya't maya ay lumabas ang isang balingkinitang babae, matangkad at maputi ito. Nakasuot ng mascara kaya't di niya maaninag ng masyado ang mukha.

The woman was indeed deadly sexy lalo na sa ikli ng suot nito. When she started to dance seductively and reach the pole, all expect him went wild. Nagsisigawan at nagtutuksuhan—ang mga babaero niyang kasama.

Naiilang na si Drake sa kinauupuan dahil balak yata siyang puntahan ng babae.

"Holyshit—" Nasambit niya ng pabiglang lumapit ang babae at tahasang hinalikan siya sa labi!

Lalong lumakas ang ingay sa loob ng private room na iyon. Itinulak niya ang babae who automatically seated on his lap and wrapped her arms like a snake.

"Hey, Drake..." The woman didn't bother when he pushed her away, instead she clinged tightly.

Naiinis na si Drake sa tinuran ng babae but suddenly, the voice was very familiar. Napalunok siya ng pinagkatitigan niya ang mga mata nito—those eyes!

"Remember me? You left me for six years in Paris in just a flick of a hand—?" May hinanakit sa tinig ng babae.

"C-Claire?" He uttered after hearing out her statement and confirmed that this woman was his girlfriend in Paris, a pure Filipina na iniwan nalang niyang bigla.
