The Mafia QUEEN

THREE

2 hours before the Rooftop Scene

MARCO'S POV

"Isang taon na lang mga dude at malaya na tayo!" that's Derrick, just don't mind him. Yung pinagsasabi niya na malaya na kami? Don't think as if we're prisons in jail, what he meant is about school. Yes, at isang taon na lang at makakagraduate na kami.

Sobrang bilis talaga ng panahon, parang kailan lang yung graduation namin sa high school katpos ngayon, isang school year na lang at matatapos na namin 'tong college.

"Ahm, naririnig niyo ba ako? Kanina lang ako nagsasalita dito," Derrick again. I know, I know madaldal talaga siya. Sa aming tatlo, siya ang pinakamaingay, hindi niya magawang tumahimik ng ilang minuto. Magsasalita at magsasalita talaga 'yan kung gusto niya.

"Eh ang boses mo kaya ang nag uumapaw sa silid na'to," well, that's Karch, who was busy scanning on Derrick's DSLR camera. Derrick is a photographer, and he really did a great shot. Passion na niya ang kumuha ng mga litrato mula nung mga bata pa kami.

I moved closer to Karch so that I could take a look at what's his scanning. Maybe it's full of naked bodies of some Derrick's girls, he's a playboy by the way. And hey! It's not what you think that I want to take a look at some of his whores. Curious lang ako kasi seryosong-seryoso si Karch sa pag s-scan ng camera niya.

And I'm not wrong because it's really full of girls, but the good thing is they're not naked. Well almost.

"Derrick seriously? Your camera is full of naked girls! Tss," Karch on other hand is the total complete opposite of Derrick. He's a gentleman and doesn't play with girls. Sobrang seryoso niya pagdating sa pag-ibig. To think that he only has one girlfriend in his life and they lasted for 5 years, but the girl cheated on him. That's why they broke up.

"Get this man, I'm no longer wanted to look at those," he said then handed me the camera and walked away. See? Hindi niya kaya matitiis na tignan ang mga babaeng halos hubo't-hubad na kaya ako nalang ang tumapos. Looks like Derrick is enjoying this party because of these girls, well that's his happiness. Maybe it'll be a miracle if Derrick's gonna have a serious relationship.

I stopped scanning when I saw a familiar photo of a girl and If I'm not mistaken, she's the girl I saw in the club the other night.

I was really amazed because of her beautiful mesmerizing green eyes. That can bring you to another dimension if you kept on staring at her. Oh, I remember her eyes again.

Sa tuwing maiisip ko 'yon, lalo tuloy akong naiintriga sa kanya kahit hindi ko siya kilala. I even cursed myself several times that night for not making a move to ask even for her name.

She's more like a goddess in my eyes. Kahit madilim non sa bar at tanging led lights lang ang nagsisilbing ilaw sa buong lugar, hindi talaga maitatago ang angkin niyang kagandahan.

"Derrick, where did you get this photo?" I asked and walk towards him na sobrang busy sa pagta-type sa laptop niya.

"Oh! I got it when I visited my grandpa at the cemetery. Bakit mo na itanong?" sambit niya habang naka kunot ang kanyang noo. What is he thinking? I think I need to tell him that this girl and the girl that I kept on talking to them are one. But what is she doing in the cemetery?

Tanga ka ba Nick? Obviously, she's visiting someone who's closed to her or maybe her relative.

*clears throat*

"Remember the girl I kept on talking to you last day?"

"You mean the girl you saw at the club? That catches your attention, and got mesmerizing green eyes?"
