Vault Of Heaven (MNL Boys Series # 1)

Chapter 24

#VOH C-24

The next day, I talked to the Chief of Astronaut Office. I also mentioned it to Commander Wilfron and Dr. Sketchley. They tapped my shoulder and gave me a small smile.

"Send my regards to your father," Commander Wifron gave me a nod.

"Yes, commander," I politely responded before heading back to my cabin. When I was walking down the hallway, I saw Venus. Agad siyang nagtaas ng kamay at maangas akong tiningnan.

"Heard you're going home?" she said after the high five. She's really fond of eavesdropping, huh?

I shrugged. "Had to."

"Fucked up, huh?" she chuckled. "would also go there soon."

My brows furrowed with what she said. "Why?"

"To send relief goods for the victims of  typhoon," she shrugged.

"See you then," I said.

She rolled her eyes and chuckled. "I'd slap your butt with walis tambo when I get there."

I laughed and shook my head. Tumango siya at naglakad na ulit ako para makapag-impake.

The flight was long and tiring. Nang nakalapag na ang erpolano ay agad akong sinalubong ni Apollo at Arus. They were smiling widely while running towards me.

"Bro, gago, tibay na ng katawan mo!" Arus said and smacked my stomach. Apollo chuckled and shook his head.

"Is the condo still clean?" I asked, trying to hold my laughter.

Agad na sumimangot si Arus habang kinukuha ang luggage ko. Apollo looked away and scratched the back of his head. Binuksan niya ang pintuan ng driver's seat at umupo doon. I went to the back seat while Arus sat on the shot gun seat after placing my luggage at the trunk.

The engine started and Apollo turned the steering wheel to exit the airport. I was just looking out of the window while listening to Arus' stories on what happened here while I was away. I stared at the same old buildings while nodding to his stories, he never mentioned anything about Dream nor her friends.

Hanggang sa makarating kami sa basement ay tahimik pa rin ako habang marahang tumatango sa nagsasalitang Arus. I opened the trunk and got my luggage out. Bumaba na rin sila at sumabay sa'kin sa paglalakad patungo sa elevator.

"Alam mo ba bro, hayop may tarantado na seaman sa barko," pagkwento niya habang nakatayo kami sa loob ng elevator.

He was now ranting about that seaman being an asshole, hanggang sa nakapasok kami sa unit ko ay panay kwento pa rin siya sa pagbabangayan nila ng seaman na 'yon.

"Chill, Arus. Ang init ng dugo mo di naman kami yung kaaway mo," Apollo chuckled.

"Eh kainis eh," reklamo ni Arus at padabog na umupo sa hapag-kainan habang nakakrus ang braso sa dibdib.

"I'll go to my room first," paalam ko sa kanila bago tuluyang pumasok sa kwarto ko. I placed the luggage near the bed and opened my arms as I let myself fall into the bed. I hugged the conforter and smiled, glad they fucking changed the bed sheets.

"Brave, nakauwi na daw si tito," Arus said after he knocked.

"Palabas na ako," tugon ko sa kanya. Bumangon na ako sa pagkakahiga at naligo sandali. The long flight made me feel so unclean that I had to wash it off by taking a quick shower. Nang nakabihis na ako ay lumabas na ako sa kwarto at lumapit sa kanila na libang na libang sa panonood ng teleserye.

"Shall we go?" I asked them. Napabaling naman sila sakin at pinasadahan ng tingin ang kabuuan ko. Kinunutan ko sila ng noo habang ginagawa nila iyon. "What the fuck are the both of you doing?"
