Chapter 6: You make me angry

"EXCUSE me?" Fidel is stunned at what Shane said. Shane laughed at the man reaction, he is cute whatever his reaction be. To short it, everytime or every minute, Fidel is cute

"Can I come to your house, I mean." Pagulit nya, at pilit tinatago ang kasabikan sa mangyayari

Looking at how big expectation she have, Fidel could only say, "Okay." And smiled

Habang naglalakad, ang dalawa ay may iba't ibang iniisip. Ang isa na sabil na sabik sa kanilang pupuntahan.... at ang isa na, hindi maipinta ang sariling mukha

Nakarating na sila sa tapat ng bahay ni Fidel. Pagbukas ng gate, may tunog itong nilikha ngunit tuloy-tuloy lang ang pagpasok ni Shane sa loob ng bahay

"This is... like before." Shane grinned looking around at the house

Ang kakadating lang na si Fidel ay napansin na may binulong ito. "What is it?"

Hindi sya nito nilingunan at nagpatuloy nalang sa paglalakad na kung saan. Fidel slightly heared her, but he's wondering what she mean by that

Sa lalim ng pagiisip, biglang nawala sa kanyang paningin ang dalaga. Fidel body suddenly froze, he can't see her. Although this is his house, just the fact that Shane can explore made his heart beat stop

"Fuck, Shane. You making me more mad." Fidel gentle face whenever Shane is with him, collapsed

He's biting his lower lips, squinting his eyes and glaring every corner of the house, clenching his fist and walking faster to find Shane whe she is

Halos lahat ay napuntahan na ng binata ngunit hindi padin nakikita si Shane. Ang second floor nalang ang natitira, nandoon ang lahat ng kwarto

The thought of the rooms made Fidel walk faster. Pagtapak nya sa huling baitang sa taas ng second floor, may tatlong kwarto dito. Kay Maria, ang kanya, at ang sa mga magulang nila

It's already a minutes when Fidel last saw Shane, his mind became more messy. Nakasanayan na nyang laging nasa tabi ang dalaga, at kung wala naman ito... pasimple nya itong sinusundan ng hindi nito nalalaman

So, he know all of it, what she's doing, when she is not at his side. He is more worried that one day, she will be hurt. On the other side, he is pretty and absolutely happy, she's doing all of it for his sake

Without wasting any second, he walk where he think Shane is

Pagpasok palang ni Shane kanina, reminiscence suddenly hit her. Why, because this is not the first time entered this house. She even can't remember how many times it is

The first time is all thanks to her hardwork at nakapasok sya dito sa bahay ng walang nakakaalam. Hanggang sa pangalawa at sunod-sunod ay salamat kay Maria, na buong pusong binubuksan ang pintuan ng bahay dahil dati ay sa bintana sya pumapasok, o pintuan kung nakukuha nya ang susi nito

She's sneaking at Fidel rooms every time. Not knowing, it suddenly become a habit. Halos alam at kabisado na nya ang bawat sulok ng bahay na 'to

Sumakto na malalim ang iniisip ni Fidel kaya palihim na umakyat ng second foor si Shane. She's busy and can't sneak out, so she already miss Fidel room, the room is quite speacial for her

However she stop at the first room. Maria's room. Sinabi ni Maria kay Shane na hindi na nito kailangan kumatok dahil welcome na welcome ang dalaga sa kwarto nito. Kaya, hinfi na talaga sya kumatok at binuksan ito

Shane is surprise then smile. "That's not nice, Maria. But I like it." She gave a thumbs up at the owner of the room

Maria, who is angry at the interruption, happily laugh. "Thanks to you and Kuya, I got inspired."

Nilibot ni Shane ang mata sa loob ng kwarto. Madaming picrure na nakadikit, ding-ding o kisame, meron nito. At iisa lang ang mukhang mga nandoon. Not only that! Because the person that on those picture, is in the cage. Yes, a literally cage. Real and big cage

Hindi mapigilang matawa ni Shane. "Where that cage came from? At ilang linggo lang akong di nakadalaw dito, biglang naging ganto kwarto mo? Change of heart?" She joked

Ginamit 'to ni Fidel kay Maria ng ilang araw, ngunit para sa ikakatahimik ng magulo nilang relasyon, "A present from someone. Five days lang tao huling nagkita, Ate Shane. Syempre may matitipuhan agad ako sa limang araw na 'yon dahil sa inyo." Napasimangot si Maria

Nakakabighani ang mukha nito, kung hindi lang titignan ang nasa likuran nito. Ang isang malaking kulungan ba may lamang tao, ito ang lalaking nasa bawat imahe na nakadikit sa kwarto ni Maria

Mahimbing ito natutulog sa kulungan, tinititigan ito ni Maria kanina bago pa pumasok si Shane sa kwarto. Titig na kahit anong oras ay pwede itong makain ni Maria, ngunit wala nga lang itong kaalam-alam

Shane stared at the man on the cage that still sleeping. "Be careful, he might be scared to you so be gentle, Maria."

Maria can't properly answer Shane because of what she said. She's not shocked at her words, but at what the meaning of it. Hindi ba alam nito kung gaano ang pagmamahal ni Fidel dito?

Hindi nya alam ang araw-araw nilang pumumuhay kasama nito ang kanyang kapatid, pero ang masasabi nya lang ay lubos-lubos ang pagmamahal ni Fidel kay Shane. Dahil kahit syang kapatid nito, ay may nakikita na mga ugali nito na hindi nito ginagawa noong di pa nakikilala ni Fidel si Shane

Her brother changed so much when Shane begin to chase him. She know Shane's big obsession at her brother, and she also know her brother obsession at Shane. Though Maria want to stab her older brother

Paguwi ng kapatid nya galing sa school, ng binisita ni Maria sila Fidel at Shane sa school, sinabi nito na nagconfess si Shane at ganoon nalang ang reaksyon ni Maria ng sinabi nito na nireject nito si Shane. Hindi sya rejection but for her, it is

Her brother is ridicules. When she asked him what's the reason, he only said, "She need some time to herself. She have some own problems that maybe I can't help. I may be burden for it, so I will only quietly wait for the chance to properly court her after she solve all of her problems." Wala syang naintindihan, pero sa paraan ng pagsabi ng kapatid nya, mukha itong importante kaya poproblemahin nalang din nya ang sariling buhay

Tumingin si Maria sa lalaking nasa kulungan na natutulog. A smile plastered at her lips, she finally know how her brother feel at Shane. In those five days observing him, she thought, He will be only mine

Kaya hindi nya inaasahan na magagamit nya ang kulungan na ginamit sa kanya ng kanyang kapatid. Sa kadahilanang, masyado sya madikit kay Shane, at kulang nalang ay ilibing syang buhay ni Fidel sa kasamaan ng loob nito

Shane saw Maria's brightly smiling. It's pretty rare so she's happy for her. "I gotta go. Good luck." She cheered her and Maria replied her a big smile. Sinara nya ang pintuan at lumipat sa pangalawa, sabay buksan ito

The smell of Fidel. The original scent. Sinara nya ang pinto at tinapon ang sarili sa malambot na kama. This is Fidel bed. This is where he sleep and sat where he is bored

Sinub-sob ni Shane ang sariling mukha sa unan, at inamoy ito. Habang inaamoy, kasabay din ng dalaga hinahampas ang mga paa sa kama. She feel alive again. Minutes past when she saw and smell Fidel, and she's actually missing him

It can't be help, she missed his room. The reason why Fidel's room are very speacial for Shane is because this is where his original smell. Nasa bawat sa sulok ng kwarto ng binata ang amoy nito, walang pabango o kahit ano

Pumunta ang dalaga sa kabinet nito at binuksan. Nandito ang mga damit nito, ang pangaraw-araw na pananamit ni Fidel. From the start, Shane's eyes are shining and sparkling from the excitement. She sniff the cabinet with his clothes, she's in bliss

I want to take Fidel's scent at home. I want to store his smell. Gusto kong hiwain ang mga ilong ng mga taong nakapaligid kay Fidel dahil nasisinghot nila 'to. They can smell him. I don't want that, I want it all mine

The door opened with a bang. Shane flinched and immediately close the cabinet. She gaze at Fidel, her body unconsciously shuddered. Fidel is actually glaring at her

Fidel gentle face is making her body swoon over him, yet Fidel face right now, Shane desire to fully eat him and they will become one. However, he will be scared, so she will try to hold back. Fidel is trully.... irresistible

"Fidel? I'm s–"

"Don't go anywhere." He only said and walk at her direction

She try not to laugh. "Nandito padin naman ako sa bahay mo ah? And seriously, this is your room."

Tumigil ito hindi kalayuan sa pwesto ng dalaga. Biglang nagbago ang expresyon nito at malumanay na ngumiti. "You're right. Pero huwag mo na uulitin 'yon, Shane." Ngumiti ito, kakaiba sa dati nitong ngiti

Nabasa ni Shane ang mga mata at ngiti nito. "Oh sige. Hindi naman ako aalis ng basta-basta, Fidel." Biro nya dito bago niyakap

Fidel's tense body, soften at what Shane replied and did. He also hugged her, tight. Kahit ganito, nawala ang sama ng loob ng binata sa nangyari makalipas ng ilang minuto

While in that position, Fidel asked. "How did you know my room?"

Shane perfect at lying, answer. "I checked."

For Fidel, Shane is almost perfect at it, then he take her answer. "Oh, okay." May panahon din na malalabas ang lahat. Thinking that, Fidel eyes glint and smirk. At ng maghiwalay ng yakap ang dalawa, bumalik ang maamo at tahimik nitong ngiti

Shane is not perfect so she didn't saw what's the different at Fidel. She's just normal clingy and cheerful for him, not holding back anything of her feelings, unlike Fidel

Ganoon padin ang lahat, normal na kwentuhan sa pagitan ng dalawa. Hanggang napunta sa personal na mga bagay at pamumuhay

"Gusto mong bisitahin ang puntod ng mga magulang ko?" Hindi mapigilang itanong ulit ni Shane. She thought she didn't heared it clearly, in fact couldn't accept it

"Yeah. I want to pay respect to them." The gentle smile of Fidel makes it more hard for Shane. She plan to say, they are not worth it, but the smile is hurting her conscience

"A-Alright. Hahanap ako ng schedule." Para ilimbing ang mga 'yon. They are not worth it but for Fidel, she will peacefully free them. Mga magulang nya padin ang mga ito at kailangan 'yon, kapalit ng pagsilang sa kanya ng mga ito

Agree-ing at her thoughts, she ask a qiestion at Fidel. "How about your parents, Fidel? Where are they?" Kada punta o pasok ng dalaga sa bahay ng mga ito, tanging magkapatid lang ang lagi nitong nakikita

Fidel smile like there's nothing wrong. "They are busy. Hindi namin alam kung naalala pa ba nila kami. Na may anak pa sila." Sagot nito. Her heart pang at what she heared. She hold his hand, however, Fidel still smile. The smile that empty

"How about expenses nyo? Kinakamista ba nila kayo ni Maria?" Gusto ng dalagang yakapin ito, pero kailangan nya ng sagot

"Through banks. I'm in legal age to hold bank accounts. Hmm... I can't remember when is the last time we talk. Kung tatawag o magtetext sila, it's short but me and Maria, didn't complain about that." Hinihimas nito ang isang daliri sa kamay nya. "We are already satisfied na makakuha ng ganoon sa kanila."

Nandidilim ang paningin ni Shane, ngunit nagawa nya pading ngumiti. "So, first time mo lang pala makakuha ng ganitong atensyon mula sakin?"

Tumango ito at malaking ngumiti. "Kaya sobrang saya ko na sa gitna ng katahimikan ko sa school, may isang tao na willing tumabi, bumuntot at kumausap sakin." The dark emotion that stirring at her heart earlier melted. "And that's you, Shane. You are the one who made me feel to... like the word affection. "

Shane is waiting to heared the word 'love' at Fidel's mouth, but then she throughly thought on her mind, that she still can wait. They had problem that needed to resolve, and after all of that..

Me and Fidel will write our own story... our story... our own version, hehehe. It's me and Fidel only
