The Possessive Butler

II

•••

Madaling araw palang ay naputol na ang tulog ni Troy sa kadahilanan na tinatawagan siya ng kaniyang ina.

"Fuck! It's too early!" bulalas ng binata, he answered the call while his eyes were still closed.

'Too early, Mom. What's up?'

'Baby, I just want to remind you that we already book your flight. So, by 8:00 am in the morning. You're have to get your ass in the airport, you got it?'

Naging bilukan ang mga ni Troy, Fuck?! Seriously?! Ngayon na agad?! Bakit parang ganon kabigat naman ang kasalanan ko?

'Kay, Mom. Whatever.'

'Take care baby, we're doing this for your own good. Loveyou.'

'Yeah, love you too.'

The call ended, He throw his phone on the other side of his bed.

Fuckkkkkk!

Diniin niya lalo ang ulo niya sa kaniyang kama, habang nag iisip ng malalim.

He opened his facebook in his phone and checked the page of Mazue Industry. Umaasa si Troy na mayroon siyang makikita na kahit isang litrato manlang ng anak ng ka-sosyo ng kaniyang parents.

Seriously? Kahit isang picture? Wala? So stupid.

Natahimik nang ilang minuto ang binata sa lalim ng kaniyang pag iisip.

Do I have to serve her that much? How old is she? Is she a child? She's from rich family, but why do I have to take care of their child? As if i'm look like a babysitter?

He looked at his rolex watch, he sighed. It's too early and his flight is 8:00 am. I guess, I should take a nap first.

Pagkapikit na pagkapikit ng binata, agad niyang minulat ang mata niya dulot ng ingay na nanggagaling mula sa kaniyang pintuan.

"Troy! Open the goddamn door!" sigaw ng lalaki.

Shit! Old man is here! I have to hurry!

Pagkatingin ni Troy sa orasan niya, napamura nalang siya. Anak ng tokwa, kakapikit lang niya, alas siyete na agad?! Yung totoo?!

He opened the door, habang nakasimangot. "Aren't you getting ready? You have to get your ass in the airport now!" sigaw sakaniya ng tatay niya.

"Geez, chill, Old Man. I'm goin' to take a bath first.' Kumuha si Troy ng towel from his closet. "I'll be in the lobby within 30 minutes."

Lumabas na ang tatay niya, at pumunta na ito sa lobby ng hotel na tinitirahan niya. Kung tutuusin, hindi ganon ka-close ni Troy ang tatay niya sa kadahilanang hindi naman 'to ang tunay niyang ama.

Matapos ang ilang minuto, nakapaghanda na si Troy nang kaniyang mga gagamitin at damit pauwi sa Pilipinas.

Nakapag impake na siya, at handa na siyang umalis. Lumingon muna siya sa condo niya, pinagmasdan niya 'to ng matagal. Dahil matagal tagal siyang mananatili sa pinas.
