Mosquito Pt. 2
ALI
"Hey." I greeted to the man in front me, fixing his messy hair after wearing his helmet off.
"Hi." Gabbey sweetly greeted back. He's wearing a black leather jacket, white sando inside, black denim pants and a boots. He looks stunning kahit gabi na, especially when he smiled at me and showed his pearly white teeth.
I was literally amused and starstrucked with this guy. Kahit kakaunti lang ang ilaw na umaabit hanggang sa terrace namin ay kita ko pa rin ang glow na Gabbey kahit gabi.
Buti, pumayag sila Kuya Alex na lumabas ako hanggang sa terrace lang namin at papasukin si Gabbey rito kahit gabi na.
Gabbey got off from his motorcycle and search something from his pocket. It took him seconds when he finally found my cellphone on his pockets and handed it to me.
"Madaya sa First. Sabi ko siya na lang ang magbigay niyan. Kaso may gagawin daw siya. Kaya ayan na." paliwanag ni Gabbey.
"Okay lang." I reached for the phone and immediately looked if there's a crack or what. Good thing wala.
"Wala akong ginalaw d'yan!"
"Huh?"
"Si First lang ang may alam ng password mo. Kahit nga fingerprint meron din siya d'yan, e!" depensa ni Gabbey sabay humalukipkip.
I remembered...
"Ni-raid mo ba 'tong phone ko?"
"Uh-hmm."
"Bahala ka. Kadiri ka. Hindi ko sasabihin sa'yo." I get it. So ito 'yung sinasabi ni First na pangre-raid sa phone ko. And hindi niya rin sinabi kay Gabbey 'yung password ko na kahit sino sa mga kaibigan ko ay alam iyon.
What a very secured man. Joke. I know how he really hates it when I tell everyone my passcode whenever they ask for it.
Back to my concern, "Paano napunta sa inyo 'to? Sabi ng kasambahay namin na nagbabantay sa'kin, guard na lang daw ang naabutan nila du'n."
"H-huh? Ah... Basta. Uhmmm... Bi-binigay lang n-nu-nung guard sa'min. Tama!" nauutal na sagot ni Gabbey kaya agad siyang napakamot ng batok. Hmmm... There's really something fishy going around here.
From the way Gabbey stattered. His actions.
"Alam mo, okay lang naman aminin na nandu'n nga kayo. Hindi naman ako mag-iingay." I reassured Gabbey and patted his shoulders, kailangan ko pang mag-tiptoe para lang maabot ang mga balikat niya.
"It's not about you going to tell other people. We just want you to stay away from trouble."
What? Naguguluminahan kong isinasaisip? How come na mapapalapit ako sa disgrasya?
"Ha?" tanong ko while my forehead creasing.
"W-wala! Basta!"
"You're hiding something from me, aren't you?" my eyes turned into thin slits while looking at him. His gaze turned a little down. Alam kong nararamdaman na rin niya na parang na-corner ko na siya sa mga sinabi ko at mga sinabi niya.
