His Solemn Vow

II

"Come again?"

"Gosh Mati! Listen! Paulit-ulit ko na kayo binebrief tas come again isasagot mo?" Pabagsak na inilapag ni Aphrodite ang kanyang laptop at hinarap ako.

I played with my white vans shoes and grooving my feet along the beat. Siniko ako ni Priam nung nafeel niyang diko pinapakinggan si Aphrodite na nasa harap namin.

"No no no Detdet. The word smuggling doesn't ring a bell! Ano nanaman ba ang gagawin namin ngayon! Like going to steal smuggled money? Hanggang kailan ba tayo matatapos sa ganitong gawain? I'm so done with this!" Utal ko habang padabog na pinupusod ko na ang itim na buhok kong hanggang bewang na ang haba.

Umirap ang mga mata ni Priam sa kawalan habang inaayos na rin ang sariling gamit.

"Whine all you want Mati. This is our job" bagot na sabi ni Detdet habang nagpatuloy na ulit sa pagtatype sa laptop niya. She's my subordinate but heck why is she bossing me around!? Argh hate this feeling siya kaya magfield! I hate to do all the dress up stuffs!

Inayos ko na ang fake ID na nasa leeg ko at inayos ko na rin ang pencil cut kong may design ng isang sikat na kompanya.

I kept my knife near the slit of my pencil cut and Priam's gun is at his hidden pockets sa kanyang tux. Naramdaman niyang pinapanood ko ang bawat galaw niya kaya tumingin siya sa gawi ko at pinaunlakan ko ito ng mapagbirong kindat.

Hinaplos niya ang nakabun kong buhok at ngumiti ng napakatamis. Priam, my boy. Napakagwapo niya sa suot niya! Gusto ko na tuloy ipasok siya sa corporate world! Hays. I can imagine him with a suitcase and wearing a fancy suit with his screaming hotness. After five years I guess?

I'm not really a fan of seers, predictions, and most probably, not a fan of the future. I was fond of watching cartoon movies and there was this one line from it and it says, "yesterday was a past, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift. That's why it is called present" I'm not sure if that's the exact words but I get the point and I live by it. Whatever it will be, I don't care about the past nor the future. Because in the end, our present will always be the one that matters the most.

Pero ano na kaya kami ni Priam after five years? Will it be us in the end? What will be his job? What will he look like? I bet his human sperms will be as sizzling hot as him! Hays we can never predict the future. The word future entails with risk, probabilities and the what if's. Thinking about future equals the fear of everything that might not meet our expectations right now.

I might not be sure about my future, in the end, all I want is to be with Priam.

"Halt" rinig kong sabi ni Detdet sa kabilang linya.

"Easy girl. Nasa lobby palang ako" I adjusted my earpiece then motioned Priam to give me some space while walking para hindi kami pag hinalaan.

"Someone's watching you Mati. Tone down that aura, you might get caught!" Umirap ako habang pinapakita ang fake ID ko sa guard malapit sa receiving area sa may lobby at tipid na ngumiti ang receptionist sakin.

"Duck Mati duck!"

"What the fuck Det hindi ako nakikipagtarandaduhan sayo ngayon! Do your job! Bilisan mo baka mapansing fake lang ako!" I quickly made my way to the secret passage near the lobby and tried pulling some strings to open the lock.

"DUCK MATI YUKO!" Priam shouted as he held his guns both with his hands and pointed at someone who is in my back. Mas mabilis pa sa alas singko ang pagyuko ko kasabay ng pagputok nung baril ni Priam na nakabitan ng silencer.
