Stolen lives

Elthon

"Zack" I called him.

"Hey----what's up?" He seated next to me. With my other friends on the same table.

"You forgot your soon brother in laws birthday" Aleck. My best buddy. The angel amongst devil. Managing director ng isang prestigious company.

Napakamot ito sa ulo "I'm sorry. I'm just loaded this past few days. By the way, happy birthday man" doing fist bump.

"I understand. Businessman always do" as I take a gulp on my bottled beer.

"Don't we have any entertainment here birthday boy" Blake. The playboy.  Multi millionaire and owner, Chain of hotels.

"Yeah----I'm dying to touch those hot booty" Cedric. The maniac. Luxury cars import export.

"Perv" I Sigh.

"Where in a bar. What do you expect man" Blake keep roaming his eyes with those girls. Who wear almost nothing why wear clothes if it's too much revealing. Why not get naked?

Good thing, Lala don't dressed like that. And Seph....I smiled the thought of her.

"Why smiling" puna ni Zack.

I shake my head "just remember someone"

"Speaking off. Your lover is not around" Si Aleck.

"It's boys night out. And I told her na this weekend nalang kami mag celebrate. With my family"

"Good then. We can play all night long" Si Blake.

"It's just you and Cedric. You know me, and Aleck. And my future brother in law. We're faithful" sabi ko.

"Yeah right. Your faithful to one" Si Blake.

"It's getting crowded in here. Let's transfer to VIP" I suggest and they all agreed.

Seph

"Seph. Sa VIP ka" Si kuya Nick.

"Huh?" bigla akong naalarma.

"Yung muka mo. Para kang nakainom ng suka. Wag kang mag alala. Kaibigan mo ang nag request"

"Kaibigan? You mean si Elthon" Pag kumpirma ko.

"Non other than. Sige na gora na. Nandon din sina Eaven and the team kaya iwasan mo nalang na makabangga mo. Malaki bayad ng kaibigan mo kaya malaki tip mo mamaya. Basta kalma lang ha"

"Ako pa ba. Kilala mo naman ako"

"Oo naman. Mabait kung mabait. Pero matindi pag nagalit kaya kabado ako sayo minsan"

"Pag na triggered lang kuya Nick"

"Yun na nga. Eh yung makakasama mo sa VIP eh kaya kang I triggered"

"Kaya yan . Sayang ang tip" sabay kindat ko bago tinungo ang VIP.

I'm eased nang malaman kong si Elthon ang nandoon. I'm safe.

Pagpasok ko eh medyo madilim sa loob.  Unlike nung kaming dalawa lang. Open lahat ng ilaw. This time, kung tatanga tanga ka, sure akong madadapa ako.

"El" tawag ko. May sariling videoke din sa VIP room at kasalukuyang may kumakanta ng sandaling yon.

"Seph" dinig ko ang boses nito "here" naramdaman kong may humawak sa kamay ko "Upo ka" utos nito.

"Thanks"
