Charle's POV
"He's here."
Rinig kong sabi Jolo.
Jolo is my assistant. He follows me around, and getting rid of him is hard.
"Okay."
Rianne answered.
She doesn't only sound mad.
She sounds like a cold-blooded serial killer who's ready to throw hands at me.
Rianne is my manager. We have been working together for three years now.
"I'll get going."
Jolo said na kaagad kong pinigilan.
Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang kamay niya at umiling.
He cannot leave me alone.
Imbis na maawa sa akin ay inilingan lang din ako ni Jolo. Inalis niya ang kamay kong nakahawak sa kaniya at ngumiti palabas.
"Come here."
Rianne said.
"Why?"
"Come here."
Pag-ulit niya.
"Bwisit."
Bulong ko at nagalakad palapit.
Walang kahit anong salita ay mabilis niyang dinampot yung tumbler niya at binato sa akin na naiwasan ko naman.
"Hey!"
I shouted.
Napahawak ako sa puso sa gulat sa ginawa niya.
"I could've died."
"Do you think I would care?"
I forgot to mention that Rianne is also my sister.
"Didn't I tell you na hindi ka pwedeng umalis na hindi ako kasama o si Jolo?"
"I know"
"Then why did you do that?"
"I was going to pee."
Pagpapalusot ko nang dumampot nanaman siya ng bagay sa desk niya. It's a stapler this time.
"I got bored."
Muling sagot ko.
"You're getting on my nerves lately."
Oh, come on.
We all know that's because her boyfriend recently broke up with her.
"Are you done?"
Tanong ko.
"Get out."
Mariin niyang sagot kaya lumabas naman ako agad.
Dumiretso ako sa parking lot para makauwi only to ifn out that my car is no longer there.
I grabbed my phone to call Jolo when I saw his message.
"Sorry, Sir Charles. You're sister, conspicate your car for now."
"Wow, that shit."
Wala na akong nagawa pa at napasipa nalang sa pader sa inis.
My sister is good at controlling my life. That's been her talent since she was born.
Maybe that's also why she can't find a boyfriend that will stay with her.
Fuck my life.
I called Jolo to ask how am I supposed to go home then he came after five minutes with his old car that was barely running.
"Saan po tayo pupunta?"
Jolo asked while driving.
"Stop saying tayo like you're my butt."
When I got home in my condo, I immediately grabbed a flash drive and inserted it on the TV.
I sat on the sofa and watched my mom.
The video was made ten years ago. It's been a decade since I last saw her.
My mom made this video na para bang alam niyang mawawala na siya. I remember her giving me the lollipop she always wanted me to have as I might choke as a kid.
I watched this video so many times that I memorized everything that mom said and I cannot cry about it anymore. I lost my tears already.
It was an hour-long video.
I keep watching it hanggang sa makatulog ako.
My mom's voice still helps me sleep whenever I can't.
One hour later from my peaceful sleep, I got woken up by a bell.
Someone is at my front door.
I wiped my eyes using my hand and stretched my body as much as possible.
Half awake, I walked into the door and opened it.
"Pizza delivery!"
"You again?"
It was the girl in the street earlier.
The one who spilled her juice on my body and dared to use my handkerchief to wipe it.
"I never met you before."
Inosente niyang sagot.
Tiningnan ko nalang siya ng masama at kinuha yung pizza na dala niya.
I was about to close the door nang harangan niya yun ng paa niya.
"Ow."
Pag-aray niya.
"What are you doing?"
"Nakalimutan niyo pong magbayad."
Sagot niya habang nakalahad ang palad na para bang nanglilimos.
I know it's my sister who ordered it for me.
She knows I don't cook, but I guess she really wants to piss me off because she didn't pay the food automatically this time.
"Here. Alis na."
Pag-abot ko ng bayad.
She was saying thank you or something but I didn't let her finish and closed the door.
I don't need to hear it anyway.
I got my food and she got her money.
I was about to sit on my sofa nang marinig ko nanaman ang pagpindot niya ng bell sa labas ng pinto ko.
"What?"
"Yung barya niyo po."
Nakangiti niyang sagot.
"You can have it for Pete's sake. Now, can I have my peace?"
"Yes po. Thank you-"
"Goddamnit."
Pagsara ko ulit ng pinto, not allowing her to finish her spiel.
