#UM12
Chancent brought me to their site since I was really looking forward to it. However, it's still empty. There's no workers and barracks yet, it's just a whole lot but there are three men in good outfits that made me sense that they're not workers here, they looked checking the area and talking about it.
Kasabay kong naglalakad si Chance patungo sa mga lalaki roon at sa malapitan kong natantong si Heidden ang isa sa kanila. Hindi ko lang masyadong napansin ang buhok niya dahil nakasumbrero siya at sun glasses. The other two were tall, too, and they have the same auras with different shades so I assume that they're all related.
"Racksle and Heilder, they are also my cousins," Chance said as the three noticed our approach. Tumango si Chance sa kanila. "Glad you're already here!"
Heidden glanced at me as he removed his cap, isang tango at tipid na ngiti ang pagbati niya sa akin na nginitian ko naman pabalik bago siya muling naggala ng tingin.
"Just checking this area."
Kamukha ni Heidden iyong nagsalita na may mas supladong aura kung tititigan, kayumanggi ang balat at magulo ang maalong buhok. Mas matangkad at makisig sa pangangatawan ni Heidden na saktuhan lamang. His eyes were deep but never expressive, he's so intimidating.
"How's Davao?"
"Fine! Nice place, of course!" Chancent said.
The other man glanced at me and Chancent again, he nodded.
"How good?" may panunuya sa tono noon.
This man looks more approachable than Heidden's brother but same aura, dark and formal. Mas pinangatawanan nga lang noong isa ang pagiging suplado.
Chancent laughed a bit and answered them before holding my elbow gently for introduction, uminit ang batok ko patungo sa pisngi na tila nakuryente sa simpleng hawak niya.
"By the way, this is Sileas Villareal... Racksle and Heilder, he's Heid's brother."
I smiled timidly at them, Heilder just nodded icily but I could see a shadow of curiosity in his eyes that made me feel the intimidation. Huminga ako ng malalim at iniwas ang tingin, tila ba may kasalanan na ako wala pa man.
Bakit ganoon? It's given that he's a brother of Heidden but why do I feel like I'm the one who broke his brother as what Patch did? This is so weird. Hindi naman porque Villareal din ako ay kaiinisan na niya ako. Hindi naman ako ang nanakit sa kapatid niya! Or else, it's his nature to be irritated with a Villareal.
Racksle nodded with a small smile.
"Girlfriend?"
Uminit ang mukha ko. Do we look like a couple?
Chancent laughed. "Is that the only question you can ask?"
Racksle shrugged and smirked before turning to Heidden, I heard him ask about my surname and Heidden just nodded. Huminga ako ng malalim, medyo malungkot na kilala ako dahil kay Patch at hindi maganda ang tingin sa amin. These are Estrevillos, anyway. I can't blame them.
They got busy talking about the project, eventually. And I'm still stuck in the thought of how they look at me.
"Isn't this too small for a condotel?"
"It's okay, I'm still convincing the grocery store beside this."
"You should do that for more space."
"Ayaw nga, e."
Heidden chuckled sluggishly. "Then, offer a higher price 'til they bite 'coz no one can resist it."
