I Won't Let You Go

The deal part III

Kian Steve's
Pag gising ko kinaumagahan ay ginawa ko ang daily routine ko bago lumabas. Masyado yatang magaling mag alaga si Claude kaya gumaling ako kaagad.

Siya kaagad ang hinanap ko pag mulat ko. Nang makita ko si Morris ay may hawak siyang mga pagkain. Kagagaling niya sa labas.
"Where's Claude?"

He sighed and gestured towards the other room.
Pinuntahan ko naman at pagbukas ko ay nakahiga si Claude sa kama habang may batya at towel sa bedside table niya.

"My stubborn Young Master was feeling feverish last night as well but he initiated and forced me to let him take care of you. And as a result he fainted in your room after staying up for a few hours. His fever is down already but he hasn't recovered that much yet. I'm afraid you cannot go out today."
Sabi niya.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya.
"It's alright."

"Let's just let him sleep some more. He'll be better once he wake up."

Naglakad kaming dalawa papunta sa sofa at umupo doon.Binigyan ako ni Morris ng kape at inihain ang mga binili niyang mga pagkain sa mesa.
May bread, junk foods, instant foods at ang para sa agahan ay nasa dining table.

Napatingin ako sa kanya.
He placed a few Movie disks on the table.
"It will be boring so.. I was planning to have a movie marathon this early. I even got the karaoke ready."

I grinned at him. The room was sound proof so it would be fine. Pero wala akong ganang kumanta kaya nanood muna kami ng movie.
Habang nanonood ay hindi ko mapigilang mapatingin kay Morris.

"I can feel that you've got a lot of questions. You can ask." Sabi niya.

"How did you become Claude's Butler?" Sabi ko.

"My parents are working for his parents. I was born and become one of the boy who take care of their gardens and help on their plantation before. I was a graduate as an Agent and I was thinking of working for the C.I.A but his Father hired me. It was supposed to be as a body guard but his son took a liking of me. So I became a butler slash bodyguard."
Mahabang kwento niya. Ang hirap makipag kwentuhan dito. Hindi kasi marunong mag tagalog eh.

"I was surprised you took a liking for Claude despite his cold front personality." Sabi ko.

He shook his head.
"He wasn't cold at all. As the person who was spending the most time with him. It cannot be avoided that I will have a Knowledge of his personal life. Sometimes I will hear him crying in his room. Cursing. Throwing a fit. He'll say a lot of complaints about his parents when he's drunk.. In all actuality.. He's the most fragile person I've ever met.. But the most kindhearted one as well. He'll scold me and nag if I overworked or whatsoever.. It's an adorable and beautiful side of him that... His parents weren't able to see."
Sabi ni Morris habang nakatingin sa Tv.

I looked at it too and didn't spoke.
After a while ay napatingin ako sa kanya.
"You're actually very lucky.. Having him fall in love with you.. No offense but, You'll be the worst idiot I've ever met if you'll let him get away from you."

Natahimik ako sa sinabi niya pero ngumiti lang siya ng bahagya saka tumingin ulit sa palabas.
I was thinking hard when the door of Claude's room opened.
He looked towards us, "Having a good time without me huh?"

Nakabihis na siya kaya lumapit siya sa amin at umupo sa tabi ko.
"My kind big brother Morrison.. I am really thankful for taking care of me last night.. If only you'll let me have some of your delicious cup of—"

Tumayo si Morris, "Young Master, stop with the flattery and running around with your words.. Haah. Why can't you just say that you want a cup of coffee?.."

Napatawa nalang ako ang Claude grinned with his peace sign.

AND so for the whole day, nanood kami ng kung ano ano habang kumakain ng kung ano ano. After that ay nagkantahan kami.
Pinilit pa nga ni Claude na pakantahin si Morris. Nagbantaan at Nagtulakan pa sila bago niya napilit si Morris na kumanta. Tawa naman ako ng tawa.

After a few days of sight seeing in Baguio, Shopping, Eating and Playing around ay nagrepack kami ng gamit namin at naghanda para sa mahaba habang biyahe papuntang Tagaytay.
October 26 ngayon. Limang araw nalang ay November 1 na.
Nabanggit ko yun kay Claude nung isang araw at biglang naging gloomy siya.
After that ay sinabihan niya akong huwag munang isipin ang mga iyon at mag enjoy nalang.
I asked him what's the matter at sabi niya ay ayaw lang niyang matapos agad ang deal namin nato. October 31 ang last day.

Napatawa pa nga ako sa sinabi niya at inakbayan.
Sinabi kong kahit naman matapos iyon ay magkakasama pa kami sa school.
Bigla naman siyang natahimik ng sobrang tagal then he smiled to me.. Sadly at sumagot ng 'yeah.. You're right '

Ewan ko ba. Pero feeling ko ang weird ng paraan ng pagsagot niya.
Well anyway.. This trip to Baguio was so memorable at ang daming nangyari. Masaya ding kasama sina Claude at Morris.
Nagkaka chat naman kami ni Tristan at iniinggit ko siya sa mga pinupuntahan at ginagawa namin pero kahapon lang ay hindi na siya nagparamdam.
Sinubukan ko pa siyang tawagan ng ilang beses pero wala talaga.
Hinayaan ko nalang baka busy.

Fast forward..
Kararating lang namin ng tagaytay. And here we are having a rest in one of the bridge habang pinapanood ang dagat sa ibaba.
Three days lang kami dito. Babalik kaming Manila sa 30 ng umaga para hindi kami maipit sa jam packed na daan sa 31 sa dami ng uuwi at luluwas.

Pagkatapos naming magrelax ay pumunta muna kami sa hotel na tutuluyan namin.
I promised myself to enjoy this stay here pero... Binabawi ko na..
I won't be able to enjoy it anymore nung aksidenteng may mameet kami dito.
I admit I was really curious about him and all but meeting him now..
And seeing how close they were..

I totally wished I never met him..
This annoying Caldrix Vladimir Towers.
