XYRUS CONSTELLO

Huh. Coincidence eh?

Hindi ako informed na dito pala s'ya nag-a-aral, good thing hindi n'ya ako nakilala.

Kakatapos pa lamang ng lahat ng klase ko nang biglang magring ang aking cellphone,

" Hey, shitface. Nandito ako sa corridor ng classroom kung saan nag-last class ka, nasaan ka na ba?"

" Idiot. Bumaba ka na d'yan , nandito na ako sa first floor. "

" Ok, wag mo ibaba yung tawag. Tatakbo ako pababa, sabay na tayo maglunch. "

" Okay. By the way yung sinsabi ko saiyong tao, dito rin nag-a-aral. Yung Demillie. "

I know he's been searching for this girl, it was his mission.

" Really?! This is great, wait me their. Nasa second floor na ako-"

I heard a loud crash before the call ended.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa second floor pero wala s'ya, I tried to call him twice but he didn't picked up his phone. This is unusual.

Wala akong nagawa kundi bumalik na lamang sa kompanya.

I know you were thinking weird, a proffesor and a CEO at a same time is a quite weird occupancy but that wasn't thr only occupation I do just to make money.

I can be an Army, Barista ( Café or Bar) , Chef, Doctor, Engineer and many more.

I was 10 when I start my degree for being an Engineer, then when I'm 12 I graduated.

I hate people when they call me genius. Because I am not, it just happened that I have so many book for different degrees and start reading them when I was six.

" Good Morning Sir. Miss Heis is waiting for you in your office "

I smile when I heard Dionne, my male secretary talk about my future fiance.

Dionne is my new secretary, he's 20 and akready have his four babies. I just don't know where was his husband.

" Thank you, Raven. Do I have meetings for today? Is my schedule hectic?"

" Fortunately no Sir. You only have 3 meetings to attend at. 1:00,3:00, and 5:00 PM was the schedules of your meetings Sir. After that, we will plan about the anual christmas party "

" Oh, thanks for reminding. Just check the emails for today and make us some snacks, the usual."

" Yes Sir, have a good day "

" I already did"

Napangiti ako sa aking nabigkas, of course it is a good day. It was my first time na sagutin ng pabalang. Walang sino man na nangahas na sagutin ako o kaya'y magsalita sa ganoong paraan. He's unique, just as I thought on our first encounter.

"-abe, Babe!"

" Uh... Yes?"

" Kanina ka pa gan'yan. I told you na kailangan nating i-postpone ang wedding. Aalis ako ng bansa sa sa Linggo dahil sa isang urgent meeting ng isang client namin. Baka two months akong mawala"

" Oh, ganoon ba? It's fine. Let's just postpone it. Sa Febuary na lang, okay ba?"

" Yes. It is the perfect date babe "
She said after kissing my cheeks and tidying herself,

" Saan ka pupunta? "

" May aasikasuhin lang na papeles para sa mga kliyente ko, bye babe. "

Tumango na lamang ako at ginawaran s'ya ng halik,

" Ok, ingat ka"

Kahit ayoko mang pangtrabahuhin si Heirra eh alam kong hindi ko na siya mapipigilan. She's an independent woman, fearless yet beautiful.

" GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE, LETS START THE MEETING "

The meeting was boring, not until it was Dionne's turn to stand up in the front,

" Good day everyone. So as you guys knew, malapit na ang ating Christmas party. So, any suggestions?"

" Sir!"

" Yes, Margo?"

" What if out of town po tayo, then we can bring a plus one. I heard na may magandang beach resort sa Batangas "

I interrupt them by standung and slamming my hands through the table,

" That's a perfect idea, you guys plan it. December 23, that's the date. Kayo na lang magplano ng mga natitira pa. "

Dionne looked at me with his confuse face,

" But sir, kailangan po na nandito kayo. "

" As much as I want to, kailangan ko nang umuwi. My mother want's to have a dinner with us "

" Oh, sorry sir "

" It's fine, Dionne. Go rest after you guys planned it. I will just check it and approve tommorow. Havr a good day "

I said while smiling.

Nasa loob na ako nang aking sasakyan ng tumawag si Simon,

" Bro, ka-aalis ko pa lang sa infirmary ng school ninyo. Pasundo naman "

" Anong ginagawa mo d'yan?"

" Well... honestly may nabangga akong estudyante nang nasa second floor ako. Kaka-uwi n'ya lang. He's a cutie by the way "

" Tsk. Naka-disgrasya ka na nga, iyan pa talaga ang napansin mo? Pumunta ka sa bahay, kau-uwi pa lang ni mommy galing Paris "

" Oh really? Okay, I'll be there. Bibili lang ako ng pang-regalo "

He said while hanging up the call.

Malapit na sana ako sa Campus nang mag-text na naman ang mokong,

Bro, I think hindi ako makakapunta
Sainyo, sorry. An urgent meeting
came. Just regrad me to Auntie

Fuck You.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi umuwi na lang. Sayang siya sa gasolina.

After a couple of hours, I can now clearly see our house, or rather our mansion.

Kakapasok ko pa lamang ng salubingin ako ni Mama ng isang mahigpit na yakap.

" Hijo! You're here!"

" Of course ma, how's Paris? And where's Alpha and Freeiam?"

" Oh, those two cheesy couple is still at the Paris. Sinusulit ata ang kanilang honeymoon. Alam mo ba bago nila ako ihatid sa airport, maraming hickeys ang nakita ko sa leeg ni Freeiam"

Napatawa na lamang ako sa mga sinabi ni mama, those two are too obvious.

Naka-upo na ako sa mesa katabi si mama, susubo na sana ako ng pagkain ng may itinanong siya

" How about you son? Kelan ang kasal ninyo ni Heis? You know, masama ang kutob ko sa babaeng iyon. Better guard that bitch "

Heto na naman tayo.

" Mom. We talked about it already right? We are trying to fix our relationship-"

" But what if she's not? What if she's just breaking it? Niloko ka na niya Xy. Dalawang beses na, paano kung gawin niya pang tatlo? What will you do?"

I just sighed. I know mom was just worried about me. She's the kindest lady I've ever met. That's why I love her the most.

" Kung mangyari man iyan ma, I'll let her go. Siguro di lang siya nakuntento sa akin, o kaya matagal na siyang naiipit sa relasyon namin. I will let her go mom, kahit masakit kasi ayoko nang maging tanga. "

She just sighed and pat my back, I know she doesn't like Heis. But she won't say it verbally. She just let me love her. She never interfere in our relationship, not until now.

" Then, I'll let you decide on that. Basta tatandaan mo, andito lang ang mommy okay? Saka anak, may hihingiin akong pabor saiyo "

I knitted my brows, this is getting weirder than the usual.

" What is it ma?"

Saad ko bago sumubo ng pagkain.
Ugh. This is really yummy, sigurado akong si Nana na naman nagluto nito.

" I want an apo already son. Gusto ko kambal agad. You're not getting any younger son, I also want to babysit them. Yung mga amiga ko eh madami nang apo, bakit ba kasi ang hina mo?"

Nabilaukan ako dahil sa sinsabi ni mama.

Darn. Apo na naman?

" Ma, alam mo namang hindi pa kami kasal hindi ba? Saka saan naman ako makakakuha ng bata?"

She just grinned like a creepy cheshire cat. No, no, no-

" What about that GUY? Heard he's a carrier. You know, guys who can give birth,"

I was shocked. No that is impossible.

Paano ni mama nalaman iyon, she-

" Alam ko lahat ng kilos mo anak, and I'm sure na hindi ka gumamit ng condom. You and your little buddy has no difference. Both hard headed and impatient. Panagutan mo ang batang iyon. Madali pa namang mabuntis ang mga carrier lalo na kapag malapit na ang kanilang yearly menstrual "

She said while grinning that made me stare at her as she walks upstair.

I'm in trouble.

Iyanang ang matitiyak ko.

-----

" ir-... SIR!"

" Ah yes?"

" Miss Heis said she will visit you this day. Sir, what's wrong? You've been spacing out lately? Halos hindi po kayo makapg-focus sa mga meeting nitong nakaraang limang araw? "

" I'm so sorry Dionne. But can you give me an advice? I know this might include your personal space but I badly need it "

He just smile brightly and nod,

" Of course sir, Let's sit at the sofa so we can talk it over "

I smiled and followed him,

" Ahm, I'm sorry in advance-"

" Don't be sorry sir, I am your secretary as well as your friend right?"

" Yeah right. So I think I impregnate a guy. He's also a carrier like you. Pwede ko bang malaman kung ano ang naramdaman mo noong iniwan ka ng taong nakabuntis saiyo?",

He just remained silent, slightly bowing his head and tapping my shoulder.

I thpught he was crying but when he raised his face I can see a glint of happiness.

" Syempre nagalit. Pero kinalaunan nawala siya sa isip ko. All I know is my babies are enough. But if I were you Xy, panagutan mo siya. Alam kong alam mo kung paano at ano ang pinagdadaanan ng isang single parent. But I am happy, may magiging inaanak na ako "

" B-but what if... Paano kami ni Heis?"

" Advice ko lang sir, sabihin mo agad sa kaniya iyan ng maaga. Para knows niya at hindi na siya ma shookt kapag nalaman niyang nakabuntis ka. Ikaw ba naman kasi sir, bakit hindi ka nagsusoot ng kapote?"

He said while laughing and leaving me dumbfounded. Paano ko kaya masasabi iyon kay Heis? Nowing her, she's a warfreak.

"Hi babe! Guess what"

" What is it? A new promotion or a new endorsement? You seemed so happy "

" 'cause Victoria's Secret hired me as their new model for their new products! Is it not a good news?"

" Yes it is. Congrats babe. Come here, tell me more about it"

She gladly obligate and sit besides me.
I was watching her all the time as she enthusiastically tell the whole story of it.

She really loves modeling and I support her.

" I'm so happy right now. Nothing could make my mood change. "

Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya, naalala ko bigla ang problema ko. How would I say to her? Nakakainis.

" Hon, kelan ba ang exact date para diyan sa endorsement mo?"

" Next week, dalawang buwan. Actually yung sinabi ko about doon sa client thingy eh eto talaga yun. I'm too confident na ako ang mapipili nila kaya inadvance ko nang sabihin saiyo "

" Ohh, is that so. How about we go to a date?"

" Hmm, sure why not?"

" Yey! So where are we going by the way?"

" Maybe we can watch movies and go shopping?"

" That's a great idea"

She happily leaped straight to the elevator while giving me a genuine smile.

" Babe, bili tayo ng bago mong suits. Bagay yun saiyo, you look even more handsome with those attire "

" Okay, doon na lang tayo sa dati kong binibilhan "

Pagkapasok ko sa usual shop na binibilhan ko ng suits ay agad kaming binati ng mga sales lady. I am their regular costumer as well as their VVIP.

" Good afternoon sir. This way please, Mr. Perez already told us of your arrival. We have new suits that you can try "

I smiled at her and said that she can leave us alone.

" Xy, bagay saiyo itong gold and black na suit, saka itong navy blue"

" Thanks for picking it, let me try this "

" Okay, I'll just wait here and pick some suits"

Pumasok ako sa loob ng dressing room at isinukat ang suit na binili niya para sa akin.

And indeed it look nice.

" How is it? Do I look ok?"

" No, you don't"

That made my brows knitted,

" Because you look eternally handsome! Sabi na nga ba at babagay iyan saiyo. Let's go and watch a movie, bayaran na rin natin iyan sa counter "

I genuinely smiled at her and change into my clothes while letting the sales lady pack it for us.

" Heis, anong gusto mong palabas?"

" Xy. Hindi ba sinabi ko saiyong Heirra na lang? I hate that first name. Ang hirap bigkasin"

" Okay, okay. Heirra anong gusto mo? "

" Eto na lang na- Kyle!"

Napalingon tuloy ako sa direksyon kung saan siya nakatingin habang iwinawasiwas ang kaniyang kamay,

" Ate!"

<••••••••••••>

Haluuuuu sino kaya yung Kyle ano?
Charot.
Alam kong kilala nyo na siya
Pero why oh why kaya
Niya tinawag na ATE si Heis?

Abangaaannnnn....

Ps: HEIS VEINRA po ang first name ni Heirra <3
