No More Ignorance (BOOK 2)

Chapter 28

DOMINIC

I can't hide my happiness until I arrived at my condo where I was residing temporarily. I want to live in a large house when I'm with my wife and our son already. And I'm sure they'll come back. Especially her. Kahit anong iwas at pagtaboy ang gawin niya sa'kin, hindi ako hihinto sa pagsuyo. Hindi ako susuko.

Damn, she responded when I kissed her earlier!

"Aba himala, ngayon lang kita ulit nakitang ngiting-ngiti diyan ah!" I looked at Alex.

I was not surprised when I saw him here. I gave him a duplicate key, and I don't care what he's doing here in my unit. I trust him. Even though I am annoyed with his noise sometimes, I can't drive him out. Malaki ang dulot niya kapag nandito siya. He sometimes cooks and cleans my unit when I'm not here. He seemed to have replaced Elisa when she left me. All my life, I didn't dream of myself having a gay friend. And my mom, she's so happy when every time they're together.

"Hoy koya! Na-in love ka na sa'kin no?"

"Shut up Alex. Kanina ka pa ba nandito?" I asked and went to the fridge.

I opened the refrigerator to find something to eat. I'm tipsy, but not too much.

"10 minutes ago," He sat in the chair and stare at me.

"What?"

"Hindi ka magkakanin? Masarap 'yang Caldereta sa kanin baliw!"

"Give me rice."

Umirap muna siya sa'kin bago tumayo para ikuha ako ng kanin. He only had a few seconds to prepare it in front of me.

I just shook my head.

"So bakit naka-ngiti ang bebe ko?"

I glared.

"Biro lang! 'To naman!"

"I kissed her." Napanga-nga siya sa sinabi ko bago siya mangisay sa harapan ko.

"Alex."

"Oh my gosh! Talaga?! Nagchuk-chukan kayo?!" I wrinkled my forehead.

What's that word?

"What's chuk-chukan?"

He snapped.

"Wala, wala! So, kuwento ka dali! Anyare? Ilang segundo? Minuto?"

Napa-iling na lang ako sa sunod-sunod niyang tanong. Sometimes, it's difficult to keep his mouth shut.

"Tsk. What kind of question is that?" I took the wine beside my plate.

"Sorry naman! Curious lang. Buti pumayag siya?"

I sip first as I take a deep breath before I answer him.

"Hindi siya pumayag. I forced her."

"Ay pakshet ka!"

"But the good thing was, she kissed me back." I smiled like I was not in my sanity.

I missed her, a lot.

"Oh my gosh! Talaga papa Dom?!"

"Yeah."

"Nakakakilig p*ta! Kaso wala eh, ayaw na sa'yo ni ma'am Elisa. So sad... Tsk!"

"Do you come here to lose hope with me?"

"Uy, hindi naman! Biro lang ulit. So... Anong sabi niya? Nasampal ka siguro?"

I grin before I answer him. That's what I am expecting, but she didn't do anything about it.

"She didn't slap me, Alex."
