Secret Exposed
Dinner time. Everyone is in the dining room eating at the table. There's an awkward silence surrounding us and yep, Audrey is also there. At naisipang magsalita ni Audrey.
Audrey: Masarap yung food, in fairness.
Rocel: *Eye roll* of cooooourse... Naman! Akhi is our chef here.
Napasimangot ng tingin si Audrey kay Rocel. Then she cleared her throat.
Audrey: Ahem. haha well, pero there's something lacking in it. It's good but it tastes ordinary.
Gab: Hey you know what? This is actually very good. One of the best I've ever tasted.
Audrey: You're exaggerating. Pero alam mo?
She then wrapped her arms around Gab
Audrey: It would be nice kung susubuan mo ko.
Nagdabog si Rocel at binagsak ang tinidor nya on the table then she looked at me as if to say "p*tangina nitong babaeng to Akhi sasampigahin ko na 'to". I on the other hand is trying my best to be calm and I gestured for Rocel to calm down. To my surprise, sumunod lang si Gab sa gustong mangyari ni Audrey. Sinubuan nga nya si Audrey. Rocel laughed briefly and murmured
Rocel: What are you? a toddler?
Audrey: What was that?!
Rocel: Haaayyy nakwooo grabe! Ang sarap talaga ng food tonight. Funny how some people are not able to use their own hands for eating. Might as well amputate them.
Audrey: Excuse me?? Do you have a problem with it?
Then Gab gestures both of them to calm down.
Rocel: Oh no. hahaha I am very much enjoying my food right now that I don't really have time sa mga kaartehang nagaganap sa mundo ngayon. I think pati mga maarteng tao ay dapat ipakulong ni Duterte. Yung mga arte ng arte pero 'di naman bagay. It would be called, "War Against Arts".
Oh my gosh. like that was the most hilarious thing I've ever heard today. "War against Arts"? Hahaha Harold couldn't hold it any longer.
He burst out in laughter. Then I followed 'cause I couldn't hold it in and Gab did so too.
Rocel: OMG! guys?! Hahaha! What's laughing? Wrong gramming?
Audrey was the only one who wasn't amused by it. Rocel deliberately say it the wrong way. Then nagtawanan nalang kami as we finished our food.
Later that night in my room, someone knocked on the door.
Akhi: The door's unlocked, who is it?
Rocel: Hi Akhi. What are you doing?
Akhi: Just watching "The Magicians 2016" waiting to fall asleep.
Rocel: Can I join you?
Akhi: Why of course! Come on in.
Then we watched it together
Rocel: Akhi, can you please teach me how to cook?
Akhi: Why all of a sudden?
Rocel: Kase para ako na ang magluluto bukas. Gusto ko kase lagyan ng lason ang pagkain ni Audrey.
Akhi: Ooohh.. no. I'm not teaching you to cook for that purpose.
Rocel: *Sigh* bakit ba kase kailangang andito yang babaeng yan? pwede naman syang paalisin ni Gab.
Akhi: Siguro unti unti nyang gagawan ng solusyon ang situation nila ngayon. So ang magagawa nalang natin ay pagtiisan ang pagka maldita at ingrata ni Audrey.
Then there's another knock on the door pero before I could answer bumukas na ang pinto at sumilip si Harold
Harold: Got a room for another one?
May dala dala syang alak at pulutan mga chips.
Rocel: Oh by all means come on in! I really need some of that right now.
Akhi: Yeah! like totally.
At ayun sinimulan na namin ang inuman.
Akhi: So Harold, asan si Gab ngayon? tulog na ba?
Harold: Andun sa kwarto nya. Syempre kasama si Audrey. Siguro may ginagawa silang kakaiba.
Then Rocel punched Harold on the shoulder
Harold: Ouch!!!
Rocel: You insensitive giant ape! Akhi is here you dumbass!
Harold: Hey! okay I'm sorry, alright?
Rocel looked at me to reassure
Akhi: It's fine Rocel. Sa ngayon wala naman akong magagawa eh.
Rocel: Haaay sinasabi ko sa inyo, that prince needs to pull his shit together and better not do something he's gonna regret later, and that little witch??? She's gonna have a taste of the queen's wrath.
Harold: Wow, so in this house there's royalty?
Rocel: Yes and Akhi here, is our very own princess.
Akhi: Haha Rocel stop it already.
Harold: Oh! So if you are the queen, Akhi is the princess and Gab is the prince, that makes me the king?
Rocel: No! You're not a king! You're the servant! Alipin ka Harold and as soon as I am finished with that bitch witch, ipapasunog kita kay Cherry.
Harold: Ang harsh mo naman sakin Rocel. Pag di ako nakapag pigil hahalikan kita jan.
Rocel: T*ngina subukan mo lang kung ayaw mong magmukha kang panda. Lalagyan kita ng black eye sa magkabilang mata.
Harold: Okay! Sabi ko nga. Tagay ko na. Cheers guys.
I laughed at them then we spent the night drinking and midnight na kami natulog. Bumalik na sila sa kani-kanyang kwarto.
It was about 1am nakatulog na ako pero nagising ako because someone was knocking on the door.
Akhi: Ugh Rocel? Did you forget something?
Lumapit ako to unlock it then I hear someone whisper
Gab: Shhhhh Akhi, dahan dahan lang.
Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. It was Gab. I felt a feeling of excitement then I slowly opened the door. There he was. My man. My handsome prince. As he entered I closed the door slowly at sinunggaban agad ako ni Gab ng halik. Di na ako makapag tiis at lumaban din ako. Niyakap ko sya and we kissed for a long while. Then he said
Gab: Akhi, I missed you.
Akhi: Gab you shouldn't be doing this.
Tinitigan nya ako and my God was he really really handsome.
Gab: Alam mo ba? I kept thinking about you. Hindi ako sanay na magkalayo tayo ng ganito.
Akhi: We have to or else she'd be suspicious satin and that would be bad for you. Hindi pwedeng malaman ng family mo ang tungkol satin.
Gab: *Sigh* Akhi, do you love me?
Akhi: Of course I do! I love you so much!
Gab: Then please, wait just a little bit longer.
Akhi: Gab I trust you'd do the right thing.
Then I gave him one last kiss. it was slow and passionate. I rest my head in his chest. I can hear his heartbeat.
Akhi: You need to go now. Baka magising si Audrey at hanapin ka tapos makita ka pa nya dito.
Then I slowly opened up the door for him and I tried to avoid making any noise. As the door closed, there was a familiar figure in the dark looking from a far. Akala ni Gab namamalikmata lang sya. Nagpunta muna sya sa CR para umihi. When he is back in his room biglang sumindi ang ilaw and there Audrey was standing in the middle of the room.
Audrey: You know the funny thing is you're actually terrible at hiding things Gab but you somehow believe that you are able to. I saw your little trip to Akhi's room just now and was listening through the door. I heard everything.
Gab was stunned. He doesn't know what to do or say.
Audrey: Relax Gab! I am not going to say a word to your parents. but in return, you're gonna do exactly as I say.
Hindi makapag salita si Gab. Clenching his fist he just looked away and as if accepting the deal like there's no other choice.
Audrey: That's a good boy. Now since we have a deal, we're gonna start off here.
Audrey undressed in front of Gab then she pulled Gab's shirt up and started kissing him and because lalaki lang si Gab, even though his mind is protesting pinagbigyan nya si Audrey dahil narin sa deal na napag usapan nila. He has no choice... He wants to protect our secret.
