Zendo and Oriol

Chapter 1

*****

"Happy to see me future wife?"

I'm shocked!

How the hell is he here this fast? And bakit ganito ang suot niyang damit? Kulang nalang ay ibalandra niya na sa lahat ang kanyang dibdib? Kaya andaming pumapantasya sa kanya kasi wala lang siyang pakeelam sa mga ito.

He didn't even shaved his beard and mustache... yet it still suits him very well.

"Hey! You there?"

"Hey! Midget!"

I was lost in my imagination.

Nandito na pala siya ngayon sa harapan ko ata agad na naupo sa upuan kaharap ko.

I don't know but the way he act is like a thug you saw on movies na akala mo ay ready na ready-ing gumera at makipagsuntukan.

Why do all girls think that he's hot? I get it that he looks... cool. I admit that because as long as I can remember he always excel in everything he do that's why I admire him also.

"Why are you here and paano ka nakapasok dito?" Ang takang tanong ko sa kanya.

"How the hell am I supposed to know that. You run this '2nd place company of yours'. Maybe that's why I won and at the top again because of this. Even the smallest thing ay di mo kayang gawin ng maayos midget!"

He's always been the same Zen I knew. And why can't he stop calling me midget when I'm 6 foot tall! I knew he's 5 inches taller than me but I'm not a midget for my height!

And I hate to admit but he's always right. How can I achieve of surpassing him if even the smallest thing like security in my company, I cannot even do it well.

For the nth time in my life ako ay napatahimik na naman niya.

"Go pack your stuff. Let's go." He said.

Napakalalim at napakatigas niyang sabi. Although he's not mad but for a person who will heard him first will think that he's bullying me of some sort.

"W-why? I'm still not done with my work." Ang sagot ko sa kanya.

He just stares at me. But hell, he's scary.

"Do I need to repeat myself? I already gave you a lot of time and now you must do your endof the deal. Tapos na ang deal natin and I won. I don't know why is it a big deal for you to use my surname when we get married."

"Arghhhh!!! I don't want the thought of me submitting to you that's why! Why do I need your surname? Bakit kasi hindi nalang ikaw ang gumamit ng surname ko!" Ang galit kong sigaw sa kanya pabalik.

"Is that your reason! For three years I let you do your f*cking thing for this petty reason! You know I don't get you.

Just get ready. Let's go!"

Well as you can see, it's what you are reading right now. Yes we're engaged and about to get married.

Yey so happy... The sarcasm tho.

We're still babies when our fate to be married someday has been decided by both of our families.

Yes! Since we are babies and still in diapers! We're both from a wealthy family and our family has been good friends for how many years and generation already.

Kami ay parehong mga bunso sa pamilya and we are both guys. How shocking right.

Bakit kaya ito ang naisipan ng dalawang pamilya na ipagkasundo ang dalawang bunsong anak nilang mga lalake to be married someday?

Well, I will tell you next time. And it's gonna be hilarious that you wouldn't believe it because even my freaking self won't believe it also.

It's just ridiculous!

"I'll count to three midget!"

Now I know that he's pissed.

"3"

Nagmadali kong kinuha ang aking bag at kinuha ang aking coat.

"2"

I can't believe this! Why is it that when I thought that I'm better than him ay tsaka ako bumabalik sa dating ako na sunod nalang ng sunod sa gusto niya.

"1"

"Times up midget let's go. You're still so slow as ever." He said. Sakto lang na nakuha at naayos ang mga gamit ko at hiningal pa ako ng kaunti ng kunin na niya ang kamay ko at hinila palabas ng aking office.

"Zen!"

"Bakit ba nagmamadali ka! Zen! Hey! Paano kapag nakita nila tayong ganto? Hey Zen!" Ilang ulit at sigaw ko na sa kanya.



Saktong nasa hallway palang kami ng floor na kung saan ang office ko. Mabuti nalang at akin lang itong floor na ito at kay Cheska baka may nakakita na sa amin ni Zendo.

Tiyak kong magtataka ang lahat kung ano ang ginagawa ng lalaking ito sa kumpanya ko.

Pero kabado pa rin ako if ever may makakita sa amin.

"Zen!" Ang ulit kong tawag sa kanya. Patuloy lang kaming naglalakad papunta sa elevator para makababa sa parking lot kung saan nandoon ang kanyang sasakyan.

I can't even let my arms freed sa kanyang mahigpit na hawak sa aking pulsohan.

I go to the gym regularly and ito na ang pinaka mamasel kong katawan sa buong buhay ko. Pero ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko eh palagi namang nauungusan ako nitong si Zen sa lahat ng bagay.

He's so buff! Tall and so strong!

"Zen!" Ang muling tawag ko sa kanya na parang nagbibingi-bingihan naman siya at di ako naririnig. Saktong nakasakay na kami sa elevator. Sana lang ay wala na kaming makasabay pa na iba.

"Zen! Ang higpit ng hawak mo!" Ang sigaw ko sa kanya.

"Can you please just shut your mouth! Naiirita na ako sa katatawag mo sa akin! One more time I will hear you call my name... and you'll see what I will do to you!"

Oh my gosh. He transformed. He's the devil Zendo now!

I knew he's not lying. He is totally serious now.

Para akong batang napipi nalang dahil sa takot. Pero nandiyan pa rin ang kaba ko baka may makakita sa amin.

We're on the 23rd floor na and sana talaga walang sumabay. Please!

"10th floor!"

"3"

"2"

And suddenly I saw the doors opening.



"Zen!" Ang nasabi ko nalang dahil sa kaba.

But hindi ang taong papasok sana sa elevator ang nagpabigla sa akin kung hindi ang sumunod na ginawa ni Zen.

His lips crushed into mine at ang mga mata ko ay nanlaki nalang sa kanyang ginawa.
