Marrying Gray (VIB SERIES # 2)

Kabanata 20

"Next week we will start the construction." Antony said as we survey the construction site for the double towers.

I bit my lips at inayos ang hard hat sa aking ulo hindi alintana ang mainit na panahon sa akong balat.

We're walking across the construction site.

"What do you think, Scar?" Antony asked me.

I smiled at him and agree at what he said.

Nagpatuloy pa sila sa paglibot hanggang sa napatigil sya ng may nakakuha sa kanyang atensyon.

Nagkasalubong ang kanyang kilay ng makitang may mga koral ang bahagi sa likod ng construction site sa double towers.

May koral ngunit may isang establishimento roon na maliit, hindi iyon masyadong nakikita marahil sa mga naglalakihang puno, napapalibutan rin ito ng mga lalaki na tila binabantayan ang lugar na iyon. Nakapagtataka rin ang mga naglalakihang baril na hawak ng mga iyon.

"Antony!" Tawag niya kay Antony.

Lumingon din naman ito sakanya at nilapitan sya.

"Oh?" Tanong nito sakanya.

"Sakop din ba iyan ng double towers?" Tanong nya sabay tingin roon and she slowly pointed the area.

"Asan?" Tanong nito na nakakunot noo at tiningnan ang itunuro nya.

"Wag kang masyadong pahalata!" She hissed at hinawakan ang ulo ni Antony. Bahagya silang yumuko para hindi sila makita.

"Iyan? Hindi ko alam! Maybe somebody owns that! As you can see there are men's who are standing to secure that area and they're holding guns."He shrugged and look at me.

Ah, ganun? Weird.

I shrugged too and we continue walking next to our co-architects and engineers.

"The materials will be deliver in two days from Spain and Los Angeles "Leo said one of the architects.

All of us nodded at what he said they continue discussing about the project until it was already 5 pm.

"O? Uwi kana?"Marie ask me,my co-engineer.

"Oo, eh," I answered and remove my hard hat and bid goodbye to her.

Inayos ko ang leather jacket na suot ko at inayos ang sintas ng aking sapatos.

I dislike wearing corporate attire at pwede naman kahit ano basta desente lang tingnan.

"Oh, Scar?! Uwi kana? Tara sabay na tayo." Antony said after I finish tying my shoelace.

Umo-o naman ako at naglakad na kami palabas.

Hanggang sa nadaanan na naman namin pabalik ang weirdong establismento kanina.

Naglalakad man ay Hindi ko mapigilan sumulyap doon.

"Don't you think that place is kinda mysterious, Antony?" Tanong ko habang nakatingin parin roon.

"Hmm, ang alin?" rinig kong tanong rin nito.

I cock my head to him and roll off my eyes.

"Iyong weirdong establishemento na may mga lalaking may mga malalaking baril!" I said.

Tumawa naman ito nang makitang tila napikon ako sa tanong nito. He shrugged and gave me a chuckle.

"Why bother? Scar?" He asked me laughingly.

I glared at him at mas nauna akong naglakad.

"Hoy!" He called me while laughing.

Bahala sya.
