Chapter 10

KRIST'S POV

"UGH!" Bigla akong nagsising sa kalagitnaan ng gabi, who is that? I scratch my head dahil anong oras palang to at may istorbo. Mabuti bukas ang lampshade sa gilid ko and I adjust to my surroundings.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

Biglang may sumiko saakin at napatinggin ako kay Ten, pero?

"What?" Nagtaka ako dahil pinagpapa wisan siya, sa paghawak ko ay sobrang lamig nito at parang masama ang panaginip niya. Hey what is happening?! Di ko alam ang gagawin ko ang sama ng itsura niya na parang nag sstrugle gumising sa sarili niya.

"M-M-Mooom!" Naiiyak nyang sabi habang nakapikit ang kanyang mga mata. "Ugh!" He said panting parang nahihirapan siyang gumising. I reach my hand to him and looked at his face I am melting at this time will he die?! No, it can't be!

"Ten?" I said innocently and he is not waking up, I hope I am not thinking exaggerating.

"No!" He shouted so angrily, para siyang binabangungot. What should I do? What should I do?

"Ha...Ha...Ha!" He is so striving so hard, I sigh at hinawakan ko ang dalawa niyang balikat.

"HEY! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Niyugyog ko siya ng husto maybe this is the time to make him wake up hanggang my time stops for a while when I felt his warm air on my face. Inches away and he looked at me panting so much. His tired eyes are looking at me, he is so weak and I snap of it.

"Are you okay?" I asked to him and he sigh and pause.

"Yeah, it is just a nightmare"

TEN'S POV

"HELP US! SON? SON?" Mom said helping for help while holding my face. I was on the street and seeing myself on my mother's legs, all things gets blurry.

"HELP US!" Mom screamed to death, I see myself on my own blood. I can't even lift my finger, people is chatting around and even my own hearing can't bear the noise until I heard an ambulance coming to us.

"Wake up Ten!" I can't Mom, I can't. Madaming tao sa paligid, what is this? I am numb because of the pain.

"HURRY UP!!!" All things gets blurry, all things. Katapusan ko na ba? Lord I don't want to die how about my employees? What about them if I am gone?

"HEY! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Someone shake me at bumangon ako bigla, I feel someones heavy breath exchanging on mine. When I looked at him it is Krist and inches away, I can kiss him because of what I did. I'm so weak at pinagpapawisan ako ng husto.

"Are you okay?" Pag aalala niya saakin. I snap out of it.

"Yeah, it is just a nightmare" I said panting on him. I touch my hair and squeezed it while I am on the side of our bed. I sigh and go to sleep again.

"Maybe you need some hug?" Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya habang tuminggin siya sa taas at kinakagat ang bibig niya. Whats with him? Pabigla bigla ka naman Krist? Are you taking advantage to me?

"What?" Tanong ko sa kanya at he shrugged and laugh a little bit.

"Just joking! We should go to sleep again good night Ten, at puwedeng paki hinaan ang aircon? Sobrang lamig na at may electric fan kapa"

I turn the aircon high to lessen the coldness and he sleep comfortably, inabot ko sa gilid niya ang lampshade habang naabala ko siya.

"Ugh! Ten! Wag mong patayin!" Sigaw niya saakin at agad naman akong umalis sa taas niya.

"Why?" I asked curiously and he just looked up scared like a young boy that is afraid someone will hurt him.

"Takot ako sa dilim" he replied habang huminga ako ng malalim at natulog nalang. Minutes later I still can't sleep because of my Insomia, I turn to the direction of Krist, he looks so innocent I notice myself smiling when I look at him.

"Haha, your such a scaredy-cat" I open up my laptop and looks the Crayson sales goes up again. "Very good" Shinut down ko na ito at sabay nang natulog sa kama niya, buysit kasing delivery yan! Di ginagawa ang kanila serbisyo ng matino.

KRIST'S POV

When I wake up it is already 8 AM in the morning and I go to the bathroom to fix myself.

"Anong puwedeng kainin?" Kunuha ako ng mga pagkain na binili ko para sa sarili ko at I drink some hot milk on the morning. Di parin siya gising at psh! tumila na ang ulan. It is nice to see the sunshine, I open the window and I see so many students! I love this feeling. Nilanghap ko ang sariwang hangin at it is saturday! It is really nice! I go to the bathroom para lamigo and

"Woah?!" I was shock dahil di ko nabuksan to kahapon. Dalawang lababo, shower at one cubicle? I blink twice dahil sa nakita ko, wala manlang harang ang shower?

"Ha?" Pag aalanggan ko sa aking nakikita at sinabit ko ang towel, Hinubad ko na lahat ng aking suot, until the warm water drops on my body. I love this feeling lalo na kung sabado at di ka nagmamadaling maligo para pumasok sa school.

Knock Knock!

Nagulat ako sa narinig ko habang hindi ko pala nilock ang pinto! My goodness! Nanlaki ang mga mata ko habang nakita kong pumapasok si Ten sa loob. Oh my goodness! Ang hubad kong katawan!

"T-T-TEN?" I stuttered when I see him going on the bathroom and the heck?! I am whole naked! He looked at me na parang walang pake alam sa nakikita niya.

"What?" He asked coldly and nilock ang pinto. Napa nga-nga ako dahil meron din siyang dala dalang towel sa kanyang balikat. Wag mong sabihin na? Oh lord not today! I see na tinatanggal niya lahat ng suot and I see his. Napalunok nalang ako sa nakita ko habang pumunta siya sa kabilang shower at naligo din, di ako makagalaw ng mabuti, it makes me feel uncomfortable na kaming dalawa sa loob. Hubot hubad.

"What are you doing? Just do your business there" He said seriously and wash his face. Do you think it is appropriate to take a bad with someone naked? Kahit siguro asawa ko ayaw kong makasabay maligo. Nagpatuloy nalang ako kahit it makes me bother a lot di ako makapagsalita dahil sa awkward atmosphere inside then he looked at me and grinned.

"Parehas naman tayong lalaki, Mr. 2 ang swerte mo nga eh ikaw lang nakakita ng katawan ng rank 1." He said sarcastically and get some soap. Yeah I know!

"But it is so uncomfortable" I defend myself to him at nagbanlaw siya ng kanyang katawan then he walks to my direction.

"May problema ba? Mabuti sana kung babae ka diba? Kabahan kana dahil may gagawin talaga ako sayo"

He replied kasabay ng pagkalokong ngiti at tingin saakin, di ako makahinga ng maayos para akong sinasakal. He gets his towel and dry himself, di ako makapagsalita sa ginawa at sinabi niya.

"By the way" His words always scared me, I know matipid si Ten sa pagsasalita kaya it is scaring my whole body and soul.

"What?" I replied shyly to him, tumayo lahat ng balahibo ko nang lumapit siya saakin.

"Nice ass" Sabay tinapik nyia at nagulat ako nang husto at tumatawa siya palabas ng bathroom, pagkalabas ko naman ay nakabihis na siya ng pang business.

"Where are you going?" Pagtatanong ko sa kanya at kinuha na niya ang kanyang wallet pati nadin ang cellphone.

"Somewhere, kung saan wala ang tulad mo" He replied seriously and just leave then shut the door. Wow! Ang sakit naman siguro nun, I just wear my casual attire, I want to go to my house nakakayamot ang tulad nya. Geez!

When I go out "Hi Krist!" Someone shouted on my back and I see Jim.

"Okay kana?" Pag aalala ko sa kanya at tumango lang ito saakin, he is so adorable on his blue shirt.

"Looking cute again on your attire" Pag uusisa niya sa damit ko at he pouted at me. Mabait talaga si Jim pero I don't see Ryan.

"May lakad kaba? Hatid na kita Mr. 2" He offer to me but since I got the number of that taxi driver I just text it, baka maabala ko siya at ano nanaman sabihin ni Ten saakin.

"Mr. 2 ito ang number ko, kung may lakad ka ay itext mo lang yan at nanjan na agad ako"

I recall what he said and I did text him all the way. "I have to go, inggat ka Jim!" Sabay kaway ko sa kanya at tumakbo papunta sa entrace. I see many students waving at me at ang iba ay natatakot lumapit saakin. "Whats wrong?" I asked myself at di ako nagdalawang isip na lapitan sila para makipag salamuha habang wala pa ang taxi.

"Good morning sa inyo!" Sigaw ko sa malayo at nakita ko silang nagsisi ngitian at lumapit saakin, I love this, yung tipong malaya kang makipaghalubilo sa kanila.

"Good morning to our handsome Mr. 2" Bati ng isang white na nakita ko sa canteen noong first week. I found myself smiling habang nagtutumpukan sila saakin.

"You're different from other blues that we know" Singit ng isang green na nakihalubilo saamin, I wish that they will change someday for all of you.

"Why?" I asked him right away due to my curiousity. He pause and breath while looking at me.

"KASI ANG GWAPO GWAPO MO NA ANG BAIT BAIT MO PA!! FAFA KRIST!!" Nagulat ako nang yakapin nila ako ng husto natatawa nalang dahil all this years of my existence, I don't have do much friends.

"Hey! Easy!" I hugged them back at bigla silang lumayo saakin habang tumingala sa taas. Medyo nagulat ako nang lumayo sila at pagtinggin ko sa taas, nakita ko si Seven na nanlalamig ang mata sa mga greens at whites na nakapalibot saakin, di ako makapagsalita habang tuminggin siya ng sobrang lamig sa magkabilang direksyon at nagsi alisan ang mga nakatumpok saakin. Badtrip! Panira ng araw!

PIIIIIPPPPP!!

"I HAVE TO GO SEVEN!" I shouted and he just look so mean on the taxi, habang papalakad ako ay natatanaw ko si kuya sa loob.

"Hurry!" Pagmamadali niyang sabi saakin habang dumadali dali ako ng sakay at pinaandar na niya ang taxi.

"Sa bahay po namin kuya" I said to him and I see Seven holding walkie talkie, what is up to him? At bakit parang kinakabahan si Kuya John?

"This is bad" Narinig kong pag aalala niya at mas bumilis pa ang pagtakbo ng taxi. He drifts the car on a different direction and I don't think he is going on a right way! Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ang lugar na ito, masukal at hilera ang mga puno at wala manlang katao tao. Anong lugar to? Ten didn't said to me this one.

"Sa tamang daan ho ba tayo?" Pagtataka ko at panay ang aking tinggin sa bintana.

SEVEN'S POV

"I HAVE TO GO SEVEN!" Krist shouted at me while the taxi is...What? Nagtaka ako dahil sobrang pamilyar ng kanyang sasakyan habang di nya binubuksan ang bintana from the front seat. Krist is running and rushing inside, I get my walkie talkie while the taxi is leaving behind.

"Guards, bantayan ninyo ang taxi palabas ng Crayson Street!" Sigaw ko sa kanila habang nasa linya "Yes Sir Seven!" Agad na sagot nila saakin. Geez!

"Ang aga-aga bakit ang init ng ulo mo?" Freddy asked to me and I just walk away. Why did he appeared all of the sudden?

"Walang ganyanan!" Sigaw niya habang humahabol sa likod ko.

"SIR SEVEN! WALA PONG DUMADAAN NA TAXI DITO!" Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya "DAMMIT!" Napa sipa nalang ako sa upuan at nagulat si Freddy.

"Hey? Thinking straight?" He asked sarcastically.

"Not so" Matipid kong sagot sa kanya.

TEN'S POV

"How is it?" I asked to my secretary and she just show the statistics, it is quite nice to see growing all this time.

"This is how it works Mr. Ten" I grin while I get my phone on the table.

"Take care Mr. Ten" kasabay ng paglakad ko palabas ng aking opisina. I go to my car that is waiting for me outside of my company building.

"Driver, sa bahay" Sumakay ako sa likod habang papa andar na ang kotse, panay text ni Mom saakin na umuwi. Freaking annoying.

Clang! I hear the gate is opening for me, bumaba na ako sa kotse at sinalubong agad ako ni Mom. She is always excited to see her handsome Son it really felt great but sometimes not that much.

"My Ten!" Mom hugged me so tight and I sigh at tinanggal ang mga kamay niya sa pagkahawak saakin.

"Whats the matter?" Natutuwang taong ni Mom and I just kissed her on the cheek. Pumasok ako sa loob ng bahay namin at madami naman yatang pagkain sa lamesa, I wonder why?

"Have a seat Ten, gutom kana ba anak? Kamusta ang BGW?" Mom asked excitingly while I get some foods from my wide variety of selections.

"It's fine"

"How about your car?" Tuloy tuloy na tanong ni Mom at "I said I give it to Seven!" Irita kong sigaw sa kanya at she just laugh, Mom really knows how to annoy me.

"What your lucky day!" Sigaw ni Mom saakin at pumalakpak ito ng dalawang beses.

"Mr. Crayson!" She shouted at me. Ako ba tinutukoy ni Mom? Pagtataka ko habang ningunguya ako ang aking pagkain sa bibig, I see someone walking downstair and napatayo ako sa upuan.

"DAD?!" I shouted and he open his arms for me. I hugged him tight and I miss him so much!

"Have a seat Dad" I offer a chair for him and we start some conversation.

"So hows your school?" Dad said seriously and I replied "As always, I am on the top".

I smiled while I said to Dad and Mom just smiled at me sweetly. I smiled at the at pinapa ikot ikot ni Dad ang wine nya sa kanyang wine glass.

"Darling, his car is gone" Mom said sadly at nabigla si Dad.

I looked up at tumingin uli sa kanilang dalawa.

"Why?" Dad said curiously and Mom touched Dad.

"Nakasagasa sya ng pusa at muntikan na syang mawalan ng malay. His doctor said to me"

Mom defended and Dad understand it.

"Does your phobia just got even worst Son?"

"Yes Dad" I said plainly at pinagtutusok ang karne sa pinggan ko.

I just looked down dahil wala na akong kotse.

"Thats a limited edition for the past 2 years, kailangan na din sigurong palitan"

Bigla akong nabuhayan habang sinasabi yun ni Dad.

Pumunta kami sa labas at may kinuhang susi si Dad.

Magkatabi kami ni Mom sa pinto habang pinapapunta ni Dad ang isang kumikinang na itim na sasakyan papunta saamin.

"Say Hi to your new baby car" I was shock on what I see and I hug Dad so much.

"Thank you Dad!!"

"This car is a bullet proof and anti crash car, made only for you Son. Inggatan mo na to it cost a billion dollars" Nakangiting sabi ni Dad at binigay saakin ang susi.

"Balita ko pala Ten nandito sa BGW natin ang anak ng De Vera?" Dad said sarcastically and Mom smiled at me.

"Why should you bring him here on the other day?"
