DeCode ang pangalan ng club na pinuntahan namin ngayon ni Blaze.
"Kundangan ka kasing -- argh!" I'm so frustrated with this cousin of mine!
He finished his shot then shook his head. "I know, I know it was my fault. I should have called her. Pero I couldn't, it wasn't that I wanted to not call her."
Bumuntong-hininga ako. "Blaze, my dear cousin, 'yung aking request na kausaping mag-kasama sila tita Zie at tito Blake ay makakapaghintay. Pero 'yung love of your life? Hindi." I sighed again then hold his hand. "Sorry. I really am sorry. I should have made it clear."
Nang i-request ko kasi yun kay Blaze, agad niyang kinontak ang dalawa. Ang kinalabasan, he had to meet with them first. Kung ano ang pinag-meetingan nila? Ayala stuffs.
Ayun ang sabi ni Blaze sa'kin. And because of that, hindi na nila namalayang malalim na ang gabi. In the end, Blaze made this Angel wait for him without any call or text, kung magsho-show up siya o hindi.
"What should I do babe? Ugh!" Hinilot-hilot niya ang noo. "I already went to her and said sorry but... Argh. What else should I fvcking do?! "
Naaawa ako sa kanya. Back on my training days, kapag nags-sparring kami, nasasaktan at nasusugatan talaga namin ang isa't isa tapos later that day, magkikita sila ng love life niya ng ganun.
He told me that she asked about it pero hindi niya sinabi ang dahilan para sa kapakanan ko. And now this..
Dahil parehas naman kaming nakaupo sa sofa ng VIP area ng club, I pulled him into a hug.
"Don't fight it, Blaze. If you want to cry, then cry. It won't make you less of a man that you are now. Instead, it would show how much of man you really are as you're not afraid to show what you really feel towards that special person."
He inhaled deeply. "It hurts, babe. Hearing her say another fvcker's name and that he's important to her. Tss! I just want to hunt that Ivan down and smash his skull with my own hands!"
His left hand, somehow, found yung laylayan ng damit ko at niyukot niya iyon. Sa sobrang pag yukot, ng bitawan niya ito, wala na ang dati nitong itsura.
"Blaze, wala akong pamalit. Punit na ang laylayan ng damit ko."
Bigla siyang natauhan at umupo ng tuwid. "Jesus! I'm so sorry babe! I'm so sorry!"
"Naku, okay lang, pinaalalahanan lang naman kita." I smiled. "Ang mabuti pa, magsparring tayo ng malabas mo 'yang inis mo."
He studied me before giving me a lazy grin. "Are you addicted to sparring now, babe?"
I shrugged. "Maybe."
Ngumisi siya sabay tumayo. Nilahad niya ang kamay niya at kinuha ko ito tsaka kami nagtungo sa may elevator.
"You think you'll win this time?" he asked.
"Ha! Remember Blaze, I'm 2 more sparring wins away para maging patas tayo. Kaya braced yourself, 'cause once we're tied, you're gonna keep your promise and do what I say."
Natawa siya. "Should I be scared?"
"Yep, you should be," I confidently said. "Hindi mo kasi ini-expect ang ipapagawa ko sa'yo."
Still with a smile, siningkitan niya ako ng mata. "Wow, meron na agad?"
"Hmm," pakunwari kong pag-iisip. "Ma --"
"Talaga? Tinatanggap mo ang proposal ko, Angel?" May biglang lalaking sumigaw banda sa may bar.
Halos sabay kaming napatingin dun ni pinsan at agad kong naramdaman ang galit niya.
