Chapter 12

SEVEN'S POV

"What should I do to this?" I looked at Ten's car and looked at it for a minute.

"What's the problem?" Mom asked at my back and I just shrugged my shoulders at her.

"Nothing" I replied innocently and smiled. She knows na pagmamay ari ito ni Ten.

Ano nanaman? Ako ang taga mana ng mga tinatapon niya? Sawang sawa na ako sa ganito.

I go to my old car and drive up to BGW.

Its been days nung nag outing kami at it is so boring. Bakit pa kasi si Ten ang pinili ni Tito David?

Dali dali akong pumunta sa room at nagkaklase na sila.

Sigh

Sumilip ako sa pinto at walang nakapansin saakin. It is now half hour late ako. Malilintikan ako nito kay Ten.

Psh! I go to the comfort room at napaka tahimik talaga ng building nato. Hamakin mong 9 lang kami dito.

I see so many greens and whites on the next building and they are so happy.

"Psh! Pathetic"

"UGH!! HAA!!!!"

Nagulat ako nang may sumisigaw na parang naiinis na boses. I don't know who is it. Pero tumakbo ako papunta doon at

"GRRR!!!"

I was coming closer to the voice and I see Ten hurting his self in front of the mirror.

"Still can't feel?" I asked seriously at napunta ang atensyon niya saakin.

"Yeah" Matipid niyang tugon saakin at sinuntok uli ang mukha niya.

Tsk tsk, I just see him so pathetic like the green and white ones. His CIP is such a hindrance for his everyday life.

"Am I abnormal?!! TELL ME SEVEN!" Sigaw niya sa harap ko at hawak hawak ang aking uniform.

I don't know what to say to him, I breath deep. "No your not Cous, it is just you are special" I replied to him at binitawan na niya ang uniform ko.

"Lets go" I said to him and we go out. While we are walking he looks so bothered.

"Whats wrong?" I asked him and he looked at me.

He paused and sigh, "Mom wants Krist to go with me. Gusto niyang makilala ang duwag nayun"

He said plainly at natatawa ako sa pinagsasabi niya saakin.

"Hahaha! Si Tita? Si Krist? How come?" Tanong ko nang natatawa at lumakad lang siya palayo.

"Nevermind!" He shouted and raise his one arm.

"Krist De Vera" Tsk! Akala mo mapapalagpas ka sa posisyon ko?

I grin and go to Ten.

KRIST'S POV

"This is our financial report for this month. We will have some losses because of your Blue shelter" Ma'am solve the expenses and profit on the board.

Really interesting topic.

"So we wil--"

Natigilan kaming lahat nang pumasok si Ten at Seven sa kwarto. Di ko napansin na wala pala akong katabi dito?

I blinked twice dahil di ko talaga napansin na wala si Ten.

"Ha? Ano nangyare sayo Ten?" Sigaw ng isa sa likod at natulala si Ma'am nang makita si Ten.

He looks really bothered. Ang tamlay niya. I wonder why he is like that now?

Ten go to his seat and Maam discuss was still progressing and some minutes later it is already finished.

"So, you have get it all class dismiss" Ma'am said then leave the room.

I was holding my phone and reading some messages.

"Hey loser, come with me" I hear someone say on my front and when I looked up it is.

"Do you hear me loser?" I see Ten saying it. I am really bothered to be called loser or something like that.

He grabs my hand and he keeps on pulling me away.

"Ano? B-B-Bakit?" Pautal utal kong tanong sa kanya hanggang makababa kami sa building at iniwan niya ako sa harap ng ground zero.

Anong gagawin niya saakin? Ipapabugbog ba niya ba ako? Anong gagawin niya, Oh Lord help me?

Bigla lang siyang umalis at

"ANO BA TEN?! PAPATAYIN MO BA AKO??!!!" Sigaw ko sa kanya habang nasa harap ko ang kaniyang kotse.

Napakalakas na busina ang gumulat saakin. Parang tatalbog ang puso ko sa aking dibdib.

"Sumakay kana!" Sigaw niya sa pagbukas ng bintana at sumakay ako sa harap ng nagdadabog.

Ano bang gagawin ng mokong nato, tsk?

Pinaandar na niya ang kotse at nakita kong humaharang ang mga guards sa daan.

"Mr.--"

"PAPALABASIN MO KAMI O PAPATAYIN KITA SA HARAP NG LALAKING ITO!" He shouted so fiercely at the guard. It gives me shivers all over my body at tuminggin siya saakin.

Bumukas ang gate at umalis kami.

What is it? Di ko alam kung saan kami pupunta pero dumadaan kami papunta sa blue shelter.

Bumaba kami at dumiretsyo sa kwarto naming dalawa.

"Wear a proper attire" He said plainly at kumunot ang noo ko.

What does he mean? I asked myself and he keeps on looking on his cabinet.

Until he wear one.

"Bilisan mo" He said coldly while buttoning his polo and I keep on searching on.

"Meron ako nun eh" Panay tinggin ko sa cabinet ko at "Meron ako nun" Pabalik balik kong sabi sa sarili ko at humanap uli ako.

"Pero meron ak--"

"Spread your arms" I hear him saying at the back at ginawa ko ang inutos niya saakin. Until I feel some soft fabric on my half naked body.

"This maybe suit to you" Bigla akong nagulat sa ginawa niya nang binihisan niya ako ng kanyang polo.

"A-A-Ahm T-T-Thank you" I stuttered when I looked at him at inayos niya ang polo na suot ko sa aking katawan.

"It looks good to you, hurry up" I looked at the mirror and he wears his shoes.

"Bakit saan ba tayo pupunta?" I asked curiously to him and he keeps on wearing his shoes.

"My mom wants to meet you today" He said coldly at napa nga-nga ako sa sinabi niya. Wait his Mom will meet me? Di manlang nagpapa alam saakin?

I sighed for a moment until what he said sinks in. The owner of Crayson company wants to meet me? I have to tell it to Mom later.

"Come one" Umalis na siya at sumunod ako sa likod niya.

"Maganda ba bahay niyo?" Natutuwa kong tanong sa kanya

"Ewan" He replied.

"May pool kayo? Meron kasi saamin malaki at malinis ang tubig" I asked him again while we are still walking on the hallway.

"Meron ba kayong security guards?" Panay na tanong ko sa kanya at di siya umiimik.

Nang sumakay na kami sa kotse ay doon kami sa normal na dinadaanan ng mga sasakyan dumaan at pinalabas kami ng mga guards ni Seven.

"Ten?"

"Uhm?" Masunggit na ekspresyon niya.

I don't get it. Why his mom wants to meet me all this time?

Habang nasa daan kami ay wala na halos mga bahay sa pinuntahan namin hanggang meron akong nakitang mahabang pader at isang.

"We are here" Sabi niya saakin at sa isang maliit na apartment house siya nakatira?

A minute of silence nung nakita ko ang bahay niya. "What the?" Yun lang ang nasabi ko at tuminggin siya saakin.

"Why?" Matipid niyang tanong saakin at "Ito ang bahay mo?" I replied to him.

Pumasok na kami sa pinto at may nakita akong mga gwardiya sa loob.

Nilibot ko ang mata ko sa loob ng bahay.

"The owner of 15 companies all over the world leaves in a small mouse house" I said on the air at natatawa ako sa mga painting sa loob.

"May problema ba sa bahay ko?" He said coldly at lumapit saakin.

"Yup, I have so much expectation from you. Akala ko may pool, may mga kung ano anong maganda sa loob" Pang iinsulto ko sa kanya habang naglalakad kami sa dulo ng bahay.

I see so many keys of golf cart on the wall.

"Pick one" He said plainly to me at kumuha ako ng isa.

Until he open the door on the back of the house.

I was amazed on what I see. What is this place? Parang sobrang lawak at meron isang sobrang laking mansyon na may mga puno sa gilid.

Then a 3 helicopter pad at the wide land. Merong isa sa gitna.

I see someone on a telescope on the mansion na medyo malayo pa dito.

At what is this?!

"Wahhh?!!!!" Napa sigaw ako nang merong mga laser sa katawan ko. Di ako makagalaw sa mga nakikita ko.

Biglang tinaas ni Ten ang kamay niya

At biglang nawala ang mga laser sa katawan ko.

I was panting on what I see because of this. Until I get a golf car kasama si Ten papunta sa pinto ng mansion.

I can't believe this, this is what you called heaven.

TEN'S POV

"Pick one" I said to him and he gets something. Pagbukas ko ng pinto ay di ko maipinta ang mukha niya.

I raise my hands and my guards pit down their snipers away. He was like a ghost on his position.

We get the golf cart and go up to our door.

"Ten!" Sinalubong agad ako ni Mom sa malayo at kasabay ko si Krist na bumaba.

"Good morning po" Bati ni Krist kay Mom. He looks like a tamed goat.

I grin at him while Mom walks and tour us to my house.

"Have a seat Mr. De Vera" Mom said so happy at umupo kaming dalawa sa lamesa.

"So? What a handsome boy right here. You are?" Pagtatanong ni Mom kay Krist.

"I am Krist De Vera" Krist said smiling at tuwang tuwa si Mom.

"What a nice name for your face, so how is Ten?"

She said excitingly at "Ahm.." di makapagsalita si Krist sa harap ni Mom.

I looked at him and "Don't be shy, come on Krist" Pagpupumilit ni Mom sa kanya.

"Mo--"

"I am talking to Krist Ten" Pagputol ni Mom saaking mga salita at nakita kong natatawa si Krist.

I glared at him and he was shocked.

"Ten is awesome, yeah. Mabait pa hehe" Sabi nya kay Mom at she looks so amazed.

"Oh really? Lets eat" I just get my food at "You know Mr. 2 you are a nice boy. Maswerte si Mrs. De Vera sayo"

Mom compliment him and he smiled so sweetly. I was hoping di lumaki ang ulo nito.

Inoobserbahan ko lang silang dalawa sa lamesa, tuwang tuwa talaga si Mom sa kanya. "Thank you po Mrs. Crayson" He replied so sweetly to Mom.

Psh! I looked at him and he look at me to, inirapan ko sya ng mata habang napunta ang atensyon ko sa kinakaina ko.

"Oh, I forget Ten is my only son, he never had a brother or sister ever since" Krist smiled at Mom. Kinakagat ko lang ang cheeks sa loob ng bibig ko habang nakikinig sa kanila.

"Ten?"

"Yes Mom?" Nagulat ako nang tinawag ako ni Mom "Why don't you treat Krist like your brother, I really like him a lot" Nagkatinginan kami ni Krist habang tuwang tuwa si Mom, I never see her like that before.

I breath heavily, "Oh, Krist did Ten's phobia got even worst? Since magkasama kayo sa kwarto?" Pagtatanong ni Mom sa kanya and he just shrugged at me.

Bakit dito ka saakin tumitinggin? I said to myself habang di nya alam ang sasabihin nya kay Mom.

KRIST'S POV

"Meron po bang phobia si Ten? Saan niya po ito nakuha?" Pagtataka kong tanong sa Mom ni Ten.

I see Ten like gripping the spoon and fork so hard, I look around "Nakuha ni Ten yun nu--"

"MOM STOP!!!"

Nagulat nalang ako nang tumalona ng pagkain ko sa pinggan ko pati nadin ang tubig sa baso ay gumalaw galaw. Nakakatakot talaga sya lalo na hindi ko malaman ang nasa isip nya.

"We have to go" Tumayo si Ten sa upuan nya at hinatak ako. "We have to go Mom" He said coldly at sumunod sunod si Mom niya sa amin hanggang sa pinto.

"Why you're leaving already? Take care Son and also to you Krist"

Sumakay na kami sa sasakyan ni Ten and I see her mother waving goodbye to us. Di ko kaya syang kausapin habang nasa daan kami. Naninibago nanaman ako dahil sa dinadaanan naming dalawa.

Panay ang linggat ko dahil sa mga naka hilerang mga puno. "Why?" Sabi nya ng walang halong emosyon sa kanyang mukha, hanggang maka abot na kami sa blue shelter.

Nauna na sya ng pagpunta ng kwarto. Umupo sya sa upuan habang tinatanggal ang kanyang sapatos. I breath heavily habang di ko pa alam ang sasabihin ko sa kanya.

"Ten?" Pag aalangan kong sabi sa kanya. "What?" He said coldly to me while he gets a cold water from the ref.

"Ikaw lang ba ang nakaka alam ng lugar na dinadaanan natin?"

"Yes, ikaw lang at ako" He said plainly, I moisturize my lips habang ang mukha ang niya ay nag aantay ng sagot ko.

"Saan ka pala sumakay noong umalis ka?" He asked to me and he gets back the water pitcher on the ref. "Nadaanan ko na kasi din yun nung umalis ako sakay ng taxi" I replied to him and his face looks so shocked.

Para syang di makapaniwala nang sinabi ko yun. "Impossible" He said so plainly habang hinahawakan ang chins. "Do you know a taxi driver named John?"

Bigla syang napatinggin saakin ng sobrang pag aalala. I can't draw his face this time.

"John?"
