Deizon
When I was still in elementary school, I often saw this fatty kid always walking down under the shades of Sakura tree. He was so fat that his uniform was about to burst in any minute.
At first it was fun seeing him struggling while walking due to his big and fatty legs.
"Oh that kid again? You like watching him huh?" tanong sa akin ni Daichi habang nakaupo ito sa tabi ko.
"He's kinda cute, isn't he?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Ew. Nothings about that fatty kid is cute," sagot nito sa akin bago kinamot ang ilong. "At saka look at him. Fat, wears glasses plus weird haircut and ew bangs. That's your type?" tanong nito.
"Maybe."
Back then, my parents didn't really care what sexuality we had. My dad's side had this same s*x marriage. My mother's side is totally fine at it too.
At first, gustong-gusto kong panoorin ang mabatang bata na iyon. The more I watch him, the more curious I am. So I had my servant gather information about him. He's name is Raiga Bedington Kyowa. His mom is Filipina-Amrican and his dad is Japanese. And I am one year older than him. I really wanted to be friends with him and transfer to his school but grandma forbade me to do it. She said I don't belong to a commoner school.
She's exaggerating, I know right.
Naging kuntento na lang akong tumingin-tingin sa kanya. I even had someone there to look out for him secretly.
During the first few months of middle school, nagulat na lang ako sabihin sa akin ng inutusan kong magbantay sa kanya.
"He's being bullied young master," sabi nito sa akin.
"What? Sino ang pasimuno?" gulat kong tanong sa kanya.
"He wanted to join our school's basketball team but Maki insulted him and then the rest of the students followed."
"That bastard!" inis na sagot ko sa kanya.
I was really about to transfer back to Raiga's school but then I heard he suddenly went back to the Philippines. He was beyond my reach back then but I never stopped watching him.
Who could have known that the once fatty kid became a hunk that everyone likes now. I mean look at how my Raiga transforms into a beautiful swan after being an ugly duckling.
"So that's him now?" tanong sa akin ni Daichi habang lihim namin siyang pinagmamasdan habang kumakain ito sa cafe kasama ang kanyang pinsan na siyang sumundo sa airport.
"Yeah," sagot ko sa kanya.
"Wow. He completely transformed into a fine man now huh? Parang kailan lang ay ang taba taba niya. Mind if you share him with me?" anito.
"Shut up," inis na sagot ko sa aking kakambal.
Heck this playboy.
"He knows about you?" tanong nito.
"Nope," sagot ko bago humigop ng kape sa aking tasa.
"Uhh you better move or you'll be sorry," sabi niya.
"I intend to do that. You don't have to remind me."
My boy's love playing basketball, I know because like I said, I know everything he's doing and everything about him. Sino ba naman ang mag-aakala na tatangkad pa pala ito? Since he has a side of American blood, that's not a question.
Lahat ng laro niya since the beginning ay pinanood ko ito. Yup, he's a natural talent. Ah, I can't just stand here and watch him.
Ugh I wanted to eat him already.
"Didn't you know?" sabi sa akin ni Daichi.
"Know what?"
"That your Raiga is currently in a relationship with the guy who bullied him when he was still in middle school. The one who drove him to the Philippines."
"Maki?!"
"Yup that Maki guy. I heard that they are actually a couple now."
"No way! Hindi ba boyfriend ito ni Aoi?"
"Well she's actually the one who told me about that when I saw her crying. Sabi niya, a freshman, stole her Maki. And when I asked who it was, she answered, `` Raiga. '' So your boy's having an affair now," aniya.
Hindi ako nakaimik. And here I am, planning everything to meet him and then suddenly a guy named Maki. Of all, bakit siya pa?!
"He's cheating on you," sabi pa ni Daichi. "Oh I almost forgot, Raiga doesn't know that you exist so that's not basically cheating."
"Shut up Daichi will you? Your giving me an headache," naiinis na sabi ko sa kanya.
Ayaw ko siyang sigawan, this bastard enjoys torturing me. And I hate it.
"What are you going to do? Give up?"
"Nope." sagot ko sa kanya bago tumalikod while grinning my teeth.
Damn that Maki!
I need to do something.
"So why did you call me here?" tanong ni Aoi sa akin. She's my annoying cousin who uses his damn mouth to get everything she wants.
"I want to confirm something," seryoso kong sagot sa kanya.
"Confirm what? Look, I'm busy. We're having a cultural festival soon so I don't have time to relax around," mataray niyang sagot.
Jesus I want to wring her neck so much!
"Is it true? That you and Maki broke up?" tanong ko.
Umasim ang mukha nito.
"Since when have you become so interested in my relationship? You hated Maki since the beginning," mataray niyang sagot.
"I was just asking. I was just concerned when I saw you the other day, sad," pagsisinungaling ko. I actually want to get information about Maki and Raiga.
"Someone stole him away from me," malungkot niyang sagot.
"Hmm. And who's that girl?" tanong ko.
"It's not a girl. A boy took him away from me. That bastard Raiga. He dares to steal him. And that Maki is actually a gay!"
"And why don't you get him back? I mean look at you, you're pretty, all guys I knew wanted you so bad but you let your boy steal from you? And yet he's a guy too? Does it mean that Maki actually didn't care about you?"
"Oh shut it dear cousin, I'll let them have their sweet time for the time being. I'll have my own revenge soon," sagot niya sa akin.
Aw, Aoi's one hell of a b***h. I know because I endured everything she did when we were young.
"Don't tell me your actual type is Maki?"
Tumawa ako sa sinabi.
"Heck no. He's not my type."
"Good," sagot niya bago tumayo at binitbit ang kanyang bag.
Oh sweet Jesus, should I wait for Aoi's plan or I have to create my own?
First, I have to clear everything first. If I want to execute my plan, I need to be the best.
Firt thing first.
"I'm on my way babe, where are you?"
Napangiti ako sa message ni Jin habang nakaupo sa isang cafe habang naghihintay sa kanya. Jin's my longest boyfriend so I need to get rid of him before I have to do my plan. Jin's been a good boy and he always do what I ask.
"Hi. Did you wait too long?" tanong niya matapos tanggalin ang sunglasses niya.
Compared to Raiga, Jin's way too short to him. Jin's probably the effeminate type of a guy and cute. While Jin's the cute type, Raiga's the manly type. He's not cute at all but he's so masculine that I wanted to make him squirm under me.
Oh gosh. What am I thinking? I don't even know if.
"Babe?" sabi uli ni Jin na siyang nagpapukaw sa aking pansin. "Why did you suddenly called me? May problema ba?"
"Nope. I just want to break up with you," diretsahang sagot ko sa kanya.
Nakita ko ang mga shocked sa kanyang mga mata as if he wasn't expecting those words from me.
"A-are you serious? May ginawa ba akong hindi mo nagustuhan?" malungkot niyang tanong.
"Nope. Wala naman. I just want to be single for now. I need some space," sagot ko sa kanya.
"I can give you space if you want pero huwag naman ang breakups. Please?"
Bumuntong-hininga ako.
"Sorry. I really want to breathe. So I need us to go our separate ways."
Hindi ito umimik at saka napayuko na lamang.
I kinda feel bad since Jin's a good boyfriend. But Raiga's my first love. And he still dominates my interest. Call it a childhood crush or whatever. But I really wanted to make him mine.
"Is there someone you wanted?" tanong niya maya-maya.
Jin's can be clingy too and that's probably the thing I hated about him. I know things he did behind my back
I knew how he chased every fling I had before and that proves how he obsessively loves me but still. It wasn't enough.
"No. Wala naman. I told you, I only need space," sagot ko at saka tumayo. "I know your smart. You'll forget me soon and you can still have the boys you wanted since you can easily replace me anytime. You're a famous model after all," sabi ko pa bago tumayo at isinuot ang aking sariling sunglasses.
"I don't want anyone. I only want you," sagot niya.
"Sorry." sabi ko bago tuluyang umalis sa lugar na iyon.
Hindi sinasadyang makasalubong ko si Misis Rukia, Raiga's mom and speaking of the devil. He's with his mom.
My boy's wearing sleeveless shirts and summer shorts. He looks cute despite being tall and masculine.
Be still my heart!
"Good afternoon Misis Kyoma," nakangiting bati ko sa ginang.
"Oh young master! What a surprise! What are you doing here?" natarantang sabi niya.
"I met my friend," sagot ko sa kanya at saka tumingin kay Raiga. "He's your son, Ma'am?"
"Oh yes, this is my Raiga. He's a high schooler now but one year younger than you, young master," sagot nito sa akin.
"Hi, I'm Deizon. Nice meeting you Raiga," sabi ko sabay abot ng aking kanang kamay.
"Pleasure to meet you, young master," nakangiting sagot niya showing his dimples and all.
Such a handsome boy you are my Raiga. And polite as well.
"Do you want to have coffee with us? I'll treat you," yaya ng ginang sa akin.
"I'm sorry Ma'am but I'm in a hurry. Maybe some other time?"
Ngumiti ang ginang.
"Alright young master. I'll see you tomorrow," sabi pa niya.
Ngumiti ako sa kanila at saka nagpaalam.
Nilingon ko si Raiga.
Baby, I'll have you soon. By hook or crook. I will going to snatch you away from Maki. He doesn't deserve you. You are all mine.
Mine alone.
