Drystan's Alair

Singko

"Hoy Serene! Anyare sayo? Mapupuknat na yang labi mo kakangiti!" panggulat saakin ni Kira. Wait? Nagulat ba talaga ako? O sadyang lutang lang?

"Bakit ka ba nanggugulat ha?!" sigaw ko sakanya. Hinawakan nya naman ang dibdib nya, ay te meron meron? Ay umacting na nasasaktan.

"Alam mo Kira, wag ka ng umacting. Di ka matatanggap sa star hunt." Pang-aasar ko, tinignan nya naman ako ng masama.

"Bakit ka ba kasi nakangiti?" tanong nya na parang ikamamatay nya kung hindi ko sasabihin yung dahilan.

"Eh kasi ganito nga, look at this!" Pinakita ko sakanya yung text ng unknown number, that my instinct says na si Drystan yon. "He said na, he wants a girl whose name means Happiness because he's Sadness." Tumingin naman ako sakanya at ang babaita, mas malawak pa yung ngiti kaysa saakin.

"I mentioned to your before that his name means Sadness and Sorrow diba? Soooo?" tanong ko na pinahaba pa yung huling salita.

"OH MY GOD BEEESSSSSSS!" ay wait lang, mas nakakabasag ng eardrums yung tili nya kaysa saakin ha? Pinalo ko naman siya sa pwet. Oo sa pwet, ganon kami mag lambingan. Ang sweet no?

Tinignan ko naman ang wall clock at naibuga ko ang kapeng iniinom ko. "Bes! 7:30 na! Late na ako!" Hysterical kong sabi. Kumunot naman yung noo nya.

"Eh bakit? Mamamatay na ba si Drystan kung nalate ka?" natatawang tanong nya. Binato ko naman siya ng tinapay at ang babae, nasalo ng bibig nya.

"Osige, ingat. Harot well sis!" Paalam ko at kinuha na ang hand bag ko saka dali daling tumakbo palabas.

"SERENE?" I asked as I look at my secretary. Sinong Serene sinasabi neto?

"Miss Serenity Alair Quinn boss, in case hindi ka na pamilyar sa babaeng pinatawag mo kahapon" She answered and smiles. Inaasar ata ako ng babaeng to e.

I shook my hand and blink several times. To be honest, I'm not feeling well. Damn that Kyro, dahil sa babae nya, nadamay pati Bugati ko.

"Pre, uwi na tayo. Nakita  ko yung babae ko kahapon, baka lingkisan nanaman ako pre!" Kyro shouted because I can't hear him clearly. We're at the bar right now to be wasted.

"Kyro, ikaw na siguro rank 1 sa pinaka babaerong tao sa mundo. Fuck you!" Tyler said while scanning his phone. I think he's busy hacking someone.

"Fuck you Kyro! I want to be wasted tonight because of A-Alair." Nakita kong napatigil si Tyler sa pagcecellphone and Kyro almost puke
on his drink.

"What Ross? Come again?" Tanginang Kyro to, nag eenglish nanaman kapag sobrang curious e.

"Nevermind. It's ju----" napatigil ako sa pagsasalita nang may sumigaw na babae.

"KYRO HONEY! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME THAT NIGHT?!" I head Kyro cursed multiple times and gets his jacket. He ran to the parking lot and as expected, we followed him. I will really kill him, fuck him!

Habang tumatakbo kami papunta sa parking lot. Unfortunately, the rain started to fall. This is my bad day. I really want to throw Kyro in the Bermuda Triangle.

"Hayop ka Kyro!"

"Fuck, yung phone ko"

Sabay naming mura ni Tyler. I opened the car door and hopped in. Nakita ko naman na silang nakasakay sa likod and Kyro is sitting on the shotgun seat. I started the engine but what the hell the car isn't running?

"Fuck? What is happening?" I said and started the car again but it's not really working. I looked at Kyro. "Hoy, check the tires!" I hissed. Kanina pa ko naiinis dito. Nabasa na ko dahil sakanya.

"Ano?! Ayoko nga!" He looked at Tyler at the back who's now back scanning his phone. "Hoy Tyler, check the tires!" Kyro but Tyler as Tyler, he just ignored him.

Minura naman ni Kyro si Tyler ng napakalutong and gets the umbrella. He went out to check the tires and immediately knocked my window. I pressed the button for the window to go down.

"Ross! Flat yung gulong!" He shouts because I can't hear him clearly because of the rain. But what? Paano kami makakauwi neto?! Walang alam si Kyro sa mga bagay na to and Tyler, will not give a damn about this.

"How did that happen?! My car is in a very good condition!" I exclaimed. Totoo naman e!

I am checking for my tools to fix those damn tires when I heard Kyro cursed many times.

"Fuck, it's that girl! Alam nyang tatakbuhan ko siya, that's the reason why your tires are flat. Damn!"

Can you remind me that Kyro is my bestfriend for Pete's sake?! I will surely kill him.

Before I could kill him, I went out of the car and in a second, I got wet because of that damn rain!

"Damn this!" I sat down with the tools and checked the tire. I saw Kyro at the compartment, I think he's getting a new tire.

I finished repairing the damage that Kyro's i-don't-know caused. We hopped in the car again and went home.

"Hello Sir? Are you here? Hello hello?" My senses came back when I heard the familiar voice of Alair. I blinked several times and look at her. My gaze went down to the papers she's holding.

"A-ah yeah?" I said. I tried my best to make my voice firm but it seems like she noticed it.

Kumunot ang noo nya. She stared at me for a minute before handing me the papers.

"This is the financial report of the company for the month Sir." She said and lends me tha papers. She accidentally touched my hands when I accepted the paper at para siyang napaso na inilayo ang kanyang kamay.

"Sir! Ang init mo!" She freaked out. She made her way to come closer and was about to touch me.

"No! I'm okay. G-get out!" I said, trying again to make my voice hard but she's hard-headed, as expected. Lumapit padin siya saakin and touched my forehead.

"Sir! Ang init mo sobra! I will bring you to the hospital!" She exclaimed. I look at her eyes and saw that emotion, she's worried. I don't know but I smiled. Alam kong ito ang first time nyang makita na ngumiti ako. I tried my best to stand but damn! My world turned around causing me to sit again. I accidentally held her hand, just for support but I pulled her, making her to sit on my lap.

"Oh my god Sir!" She shouted. And I promise, I'm shocked too but.. Why do I feel that I like her sitting on my lap?

She was about to stand when I snaked my arm around her waist. I don't have the idea what I'm doing, I really don't have. Her eyes widens but I'm too weak to explain. My head is like turning around. Bumibigat na din ang talukap ng mata ko. I closed my eyes, and I think I leaned on her shoulders.

I felt a soft hand caressing my hair. And I don't know if it's an illusion. But I could hear her voice saying,

"I told you, you can be your true self... when you're with me."
