PROLOGUE
"Are you Red Costales?" He asked.
"Yes." I said. "What do you want from me?" I asked.
"The reason why I'm here..."
"What?" Napangiwi ako dahil sa pag ngiti nito ng nakakaloko.
Drug lord siguro 'to.
"...these past few days, napag isipan ko na ikaw lang ang makakatulong sa'kin." Bumuntong hininga ito at umupo sa couch.
"Are you asking for my help?" I asked again.
He smirked, "Matalino ka nga Red Hahaha."
"Tsk."
"Be my arrow Red."
Napakunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi nito. Nababaliw na ba ang lalaking 'to? What the hell is he doing here without my permission. This is my property at paano siya nakapasok dito.
"Seriously? What the hell is your problem dude? You're asking me to be your arrow?" Are you crazy?" Humalakhak siya dahil sa sinabi ko.
"Come on Red, I need your help."
"Bakit naman kita tutulungan? I don't even know you. Basta ka na lang pumasok dito sa bahay ko."
Siraulo ba 'to?
"I thought you know me hahaha. I was wrong. Akala ko naman masyado na akong famous."
"Straight to the point. Wala akong balak makipag biruan sa'yo." Nakita kong sumeryoso ang tingin n'ya sa'kin.
"You will be a cupid, Red. Wether you like it or you love it." Humalakhak ito. "Don't worry tutulungan kitang mahanap ang kapatid mo."
"What the fu--"
"I don't need your decision dahil alam ko namang papayag ka. By the way, I am Cupid. The one and only handsome god of love and you will be my Cupid's arrow for the mean time." Pinagmasdan n'ya muna ang paligid at muling tumingin sa akin.
"So tutulungan mo ba ako? If you will help me matutulungan kitang makita ang kapatid mo."
"Fine." I said.
"Good." Tumango ito. "Vivial Villamero. She's your target and one more thing. Don't you dare to fall in love with your target, Red Costales."
Inlove? No way! It will never happen.
