Ang Mang-aagaw 5

A.P.A.T

Roj was nowhere to be found. He ignored all of Philip's call. Hindi nya maipaliwanag kung bakit, pero nainis talaga sya nang makita nyang naghahalikan si Philip at Arvin. Hindi kaya nagkakagusto na sya sa kanyang matalik na kaibigan? Hindi kaya selos ang nararamdaman nya?

Erase! Erase! Erase! Hindi pwede yon. Magkaibigan kami ni Philip. Erase! Erase! Erase!

Napatulala si Roj sa labas ng taxi. Hindi nya alam kung bakit ganoon talaga ang naging reaction nya. To think of it, nagwalk out sya at sumakay ng cab. Hindi maalis ang scenario na iyon sa utak ni Roj. Hindi nya alam, pero habang nagtutunggali ang mga labi ni Philip at Arvin, he was actually wishing it was him Philip was kissing.

Whew. Hindi pwedeng ganito ako lagi. Paano na ang playboy status ko? Di ako pwedeng matali.

“Boss? Saan ba tayo pupunta? Kanina pa po tayo drive na drive eh?” nagtatakang tanong ng taxi driver

“Ha?” wala sa sariling sagot ni Roj

“Manong, malate. Malate tayo.”

The driver made a suddenr U-Turn then drove Roj to Malate.

He doesn't know why he was feeling so furious about it. He wanted to get drunk. So he did.

Pumasok sya sa isang bar sa Malate na 250.00 ang entrance. He gazed at the crowd. Wala pa masyadong tao, dahil siguro ay 12midnight palang. Fun starts at 1am sa ganitong mga bar. He got a few shots. He's still not feeling drunk.

Mabilis tumalon ang oras. Mabilis pumatak ang ala-una at nakita na nyang nangangapal ang tao sa maliit na bar na iyon. Kitang-kita nya ang paglalandian ng mga bakla. May mangilan-ngilang nakatitig sa kanya, gusto nyang lumandi pero nagpapalagay pa sya sa kundisyon.

Mas naging malikot ang mga ilaw. Kumapal ang usok. Mas maraming nagyoyosi. Mas nakakahilo. Naramdaman nya ang pagpasok ng alak sa kanyang ulo. Ramdam ni Roj ang kalasingan.

Nagsimula syang sumayaw. Sumabay sa beat ng tugtuging malilikot. Nakita nalang nya ang sarili sa gitna ng dance floor kasayaw ang isang cute na lalaki. The guy has nice eyes. He was wearing glasses. Matangos din ang ilong nito. Mukhang malaki din ang takot ng mga pimples nito sa kinis nya dahil walang matrace na pimple si Philip. He's got the most perfect smile. He's wearing braces.

“You're so cute. Anong pangalan mo?”

“Roj. I am Roj. Ikaw?”

 “Gab. You can call me Gab.”

They both smiled.

Mas naging siksikan pa sa loob ng bar. Mas naging malapit sila Roj at Gab sa isa't-isa. Patuloy sila sa paglalandian. The way Roj looked at Gab was so flirty. Gab, looked like a novice to the party scene, just complimented what Roj said or did.

I think we would be a cute couple. Gab thought

Dahil na rin sa alak at hilo na nararamdaman nila, naging mas malikot ang kanilang mga kamay. Binakuran ni Roj si Gab. He had his arms wrapped to the latter while the latter was caressing his waist. Ilang segundo pa, their lips met. They were actually kissing torridly. Both of them were losing control.

Shit! Ang sarap nya humalik. Roj said to himself.

The kiss ended. They were both surprised with what just happened. Nagkatinginan sila at pareho silang ngumiti. Roj wants to have his newest prey laid on his bed. He wants Gab to feel him. He felt that urge that this guy has to experience what he has to offer. The playboy striked once more. Magkahawak-kamay nilang nilisan ang bar.

Nasa baba na sila nang magpaalam si Gab na bibili lang sa convenience store malapit sa coffee shop. Tumango si Roj.

Roj took his phone and see that Philip actually called him for 5 times. He called Philip back but unfortunately, busy ang linya.

Maybe kausap nya si Arvin. Leche! Anas nya sa hangin

Gab hurriedly ran to Roj. Kinorner ni Roj si Gab. Isinandal nya ito sa may pinto ng kotse. He held his two hands and made his way to Gab's pinkish lips. Again, they kissed torridly, but this time, in public.

“I like you, Roj.” mahinang sabi ni Gab

“I like you too, Gab.”

Their eyes met.

They drove to Gab's pad.

Gab felt magic. Roj felt satisfaction.

Adele was playing on the background as Dalisay Diaz and Dennis Lopez were waiting for Philip. Dalisay eyed the restaurant, masasabi nyang may class talaga pumili si Philip. Philip made a reservation para sa napakaispesyal na pulong na ito. Dennis was really impressed on how the tables were arranged as well as the table skirting. He was amazed on how the fringe table skirting was done properly. Alam nyang mahirap ito at magastos.

Dalisay looked at one of the waiters with his flirty eyes. The waiter just smiled. Dalisay felt dismay.

Akala ko makakaquota na ako today. Imbey naman. He thought

“Asan na daw si Philip?”

“On the way na daw.” sagot ni Dennis

“Sige. Retouch lang muna ako.”

Dalisay waved at the waiter that caught his attention.

“Excuse me, where is the powder room?”

“Powder room?”

Dalisay raised an eyebrow.

“Yes. Powder room or the washroom.”

“Ahhh. Derecho po then sa kaliwa.”

The waiter smiled.

“Naku, pasalamat ka hawig ka ng ex kong si Echo. Kung hindi, sinungitan na kita.”

Dalisay walked like a supermodel. He then reached the powder room. Nilabas nya ang kanyang kikay kit at nagretouch. He then saw a guy flaunting his tool sa isa sa mga urinal. Kitang-kita nya ang pangaakit nito sa kanya. Kita nya kung paanong laruin ng lalaki ang kanyang alaga na tila ba nagaaya na sugpangin nya ito.

Dalisay smiled. The guy smiled at him too. Naaninag ni Dalisay ang mukha nito. He looks fine. Nakaglasses at chinito. The buff has sun-kissed skin. Dalisay finds him interesting, lalo na ang pagkapervert nito. Yun nga lang, napaisip si Dalisay, medyo kapos ang height ng otoko.

Natapos magretouch si Dalisay. He looked at the guy's reflection in the mirror and saw how long that guy is. Tantya nya ay 6-7 inches ang kargada nito. Palapit na sana si Dalisay sa lalaki nang biglang may pumasok na customer sa loob ng male's comfort room. They quickly fixed themselves and pretended they're not doing anything. Napapalatak ang lalaki dala ng matinding pagkainis at panghihinayang.

Kalibog naman ng isang ito. Pero infairness, hot sya. Dalisay thought.

Lumabas na si Dalisay ng comfort room. Nakita nyang bumuntot sa kanya ang lalaki at pinasok ang isang piraso ng papel sa kanyang bulsa.

“Sir. Oras na po para maginventory sa loob?” sabat ng isang waiter na papasok ng comfort room

“Oo. Nag-CR lang ako.” nagulat na sabi ng lalaki

Inunahan ng lalaki si Dalisay. Bago pa man ito makalagpas, pinisil nito ang puwet ng bakla.

Dalisay smiled.

Malibog nga.

He went back to their table. Wala pa rin si Philip.

He sat down and composed himself. He grabbed the paper sa loob ng kanyang bulsa. Alas! It was a calling card.

Charles Despabiladeras  

Chef and Brewer

Restaurant Manager

0906554****

Napaisip si Dalisay. That name really sounds familiar. He is familiar.

Could it be him? Could it be him? If sya nga, it really is a small world.

He grabbed his phone and dialled Philip's number.

“Hello?”

“Philip. Matagal ka pa ba?”

“5 minutes.”

“Be hurry. It's a small world and I have a surprise for you.”

He heard Philip laugh on the other line.

“Make sure that's a good news Mama D. Make sure.”

The conversation ended.

Dalisay felt that Philip would be sooner getting his revenge to Charles, one of the guys who once broke his heart.

He smiled.
