"Si, Papa." Axel disconnected the call and turned to Lada to say something.
"Cara Mia, I will be gone for 6 months." Malungkot and mukha ng binata ng sabihin ito kay Lada.
Nakahiga sila sa malaking kama ni Lada, magkaharap ang dalawa at punong puno ng lungkot ang mata ni Axel. He was gently stroking her hair at hindi mo talaga maiisip na isa siyang bakla. His sad eyes are fixed on Lada's face. Umupo bigla si Lada at gayun din si Axel. Nagmamaktol ang dalaga dahil birthday na niya next month.
"Axe, it's my birthday next month. We already booked a Maldives flight. Who's going with me now?" Lada is cold pero kay Axel nailalabas niya ang kaartehan niya, pagmamaktol, pagiging bratty at malambing.
"Cara, I cannot say no to Papa, he wants me to handle some business in Italy. Minsan lang siya humingi ng pabor sakin. I really want us to spend your birthday together but my hands are tied. When I get back, I'll make it up to you. I promise." Kumandong si Lada kay Axel, she has a habit of doing that. Her arms are laced on his neck, inilapit niya ang mukha sa labi ng binata.
"Lada." Axel warned.
"What? I'm just kissing my boyfriend. Masama ba yun?" Pilyang ngumiti si Lada kay Axel. Tuwang tuwa siya na asarin ang best friend sa ganitong paraan.
"Ikaw ang may pakana na gawin akong fake gf mo."
"Cara Mia, you're 20 now. Hindi ka na bata para kumandong-kandong sakin. It's different when you were just 17." He held her waist at akmang aalisin sa lap niya si Lada ngunit pinigilan siya ng huli.
"C'mon, one kiss, Caro. Then if you still think that you're gay I will stop teasing you na." Inilapit pang lalo ni Lada ang labi niya sa bestfriend, she just can't stop herself. Axel has this powerful pull where you get drawn and get stuck in trance.
"Axel.." She closed her eyes and waited for his lips to touch hers, but it never happened.
"Lada, stop it. I'm gay. I know naiinis ka sakin dahil wala ako sa birthday mo, don't worry I already talked to Achi and he already agreed na samahan ka sa birthday travel mo, okay?" Inalis niya sa kandungan and dalagang nakasimangot na.
"Sasamahan ka din niya sa school, susunduin ka niya dito at ihahatid pauwi, cool?"
Oh fuck. Lady luck is frowning at me big time. Aalis na nga si Axe, ang makakasama ko pa sa birthday ko, not to mention araw araw ay ang hambog at manyakis na si Achilles Moratti. Damn shaite. Hindi ko na lang sasabihin kay Axe, ayaw ko mag alala sya. Alam kong madami siyang iniisip ngayon. Good luck to you, Lada Ivanov! Your life will be like hell in the next six months.
She smiled. "Okay."
"Don't be a brat or be too cold with Achi, he has a short temper baka iwan ka lang niya bigla when he gets pissed. Wala kang kasama, I'll worry. We chill?"
"I'm cool." She sighed.
"Too cold." He said.
"What? Me cold? You are the one who brutally rejected my kisses Axel Moratti!" She rolled her eyes.
Biglang humarap si Axel kay Lada, inilapit ang mukha, just a hair away. Bahagya niyang iniawang ang labi at umaktong hahalikan ang best friend niyang sutil. But Lada leaned back, her heart hammering, hindi siya handa sa nangyari na iyon. Tinawanan lamang siya ni Axel at ginulo and buhok niya.
"See, you really don't like to be kissed by this pogay. Gusto mo lang ako asarin. Kaloka ka."
"Pogay?"
"Poging gay."
"Where the hell did you get that shit? Wag ka na nga nagsasama dun sa mga ka team mo sa basketball. They're teaching you garbage."
