REN AND THE HEARTLESS DEVIL

II

It's been two weeks since we arrived here in the Philippines and as expected we passed that scholarship exam as I said we're not dumb. Nakalipat na din kami ng bahay, it's a two storey house with 3 bedrooms not that small and not that big for Yuri and me. Today we are going to look for a car or a motorcycle which ever gets my interest since the house is a 15-minute ride to school but I prefer motorcycle I can just ship my baby from Japan.

"Gab let's go!" Yuri called me with excitement as if today is just her first time buying a car. "Don't shout Yuri I'm just 10 feet away from you!” I told here as I grab my phone and headed towards the door. Yuri then followed me outside and locked the door. 

Nagtaxi nalang kami excited masyado 'tong kasama ko. “What would you buy Gab, a car or what?" kumikinang pa mata nya while asking me. "Motorcycle" I answered her shortly. "Ihhh! Bakit mag car kana lang Gab para pareho tayo!" Sabi nya naka pout pa. Tsk! I just stared at here unexcitingly. "Gab naman ih" while tugging my shirt. “Waste of money, I can always ship my car from Japan" sagot ko naman sa kanya. " Kuripot! Hmmp! Rich nya naman" she whispered the last three words pero narinig ko parin di ko nalang sya pinansin. 

We decided to buy Yuri's car first. As usual ang ingay nya. "Ano kaya magandang kotse Gab?" I was about to answer when someone greeted us. "Hi ma'am how may I help you?" he's a sales agent I guess. Greeting us with all smiles. "I want to buy a new car" Yuri answered him. Malamang car ang bibilhin alangan namang bigas pinoy nga naman. Dinala kami nung guy sa show room nila, iniwan ko na sya dun ang ingay kasi nilang dalwa nagtitingin din ako ng mga kotse.

"Gabbbbbb! Halika nga dito tingnan mo to!" sumigaw ba naman ang babaeng yun napalingon tuloy sa kanya yung ibang nasa show room kaya sinamaan ko sya ng tingin at nag peace sign lang sya. "What car?" I asked her ng makalapit na ako sa kanya. "This one" sabay tuo nya sa kotse. "Hmm, not bad 2014 Audi S7 Sedan bagay sayo." Sagot ko naman pero sa totoo lang saying ang pera lagpas 3M masyadong magastos tong babae na to. "So will you take this ma'am?" the guy face Yuri. "Pwede ba tong e test drive?" After the test drive they processed all the necessary papers and we decided na bukas nalang e deliver sa bahay yung kotse.

Next stop is for my motorcycle. "Hi ladies what can I do for you" masiglang bati ng lalaki. "Hi" pa cute na bati naman ni Yuri dito. Talandi din tong babaeng to. Yes he's cute but he's not my type. "Show room" I said with bored expression in my face. Sige makipag ngitian ka pa jan lalaki may costumer ka kaya. "Y-yes ma'am, this way please" medyo nahihiya nyang tugon. 

This please is heaven I love bikes. First stop is Ducati andami nyang sinabi pero wala akong mapili kaya lumipat kami sa BMW actually they're beautiful pero ewan ko ba parang may hinahanap akong iba. I heard Yuri ask something to the guy kaya iniwan ko muna sila para maghanap pa ng iba. I was busy checking the other displays when I accidentally bump into something or I guess it's not a something but I bump into someone. 

"Watch where you're going" I heard a deep cold voice that's why i slowly raise my head and I've come to witness one of the most handsome face I have ever seen but what really caught my attention is his eyes, eyes void of any emotions. Piercing and intimidating eyes but I am Ren I match it with my cold stare and tilt my head a little. I know it's my fault that's why I slightly nod my head and walk past him. 

"That's it no sorry?" he asked with irritation in his voice. I just stop with my back facing him and then continue walking, he was about to grab my hand when Yuri interrupt him "I'm sorry for what she did Mr." Yuri apologizing to that guy. I never say sorry and she knows that.

A bike caught my interest kaya nilapitan ko kaagad. "Yes ma'am this is 2014 honda C-"

"CB500F ABS I know" I cut him off and inspect this pretty bike in front of me with so much curiosity in my eyes I dont care if they think Im weird. I freaking love this " twin-cylinder engine, a sports bike with a classic riding position and ABS with 188 kmph top speed not bad for the price." 

"Wow" I heard someone said. Eh? Did I said that out loud? I was so focus with this baby I forgot about them. "We also have non-ABS type of this unit ma'am with a lower price." The sales guy told me. “No, I want this baby" I look at him with evident boredom in my face.

What bothers me is that I can still feel that piercing look from someone that's why I tried to look around and there I saw that guy still standing from where I left him intently staring at me. I just ignored him and told the sales guy to process the papers. Then we headed to a restaurant my pets are hungry and already forgot about that creepy guy.

"That guy was like a demigod" Yuri said out of nowhere and giggled. Seriously? Ipa-alala ba daw yung werdong yun."Shut up and eat Yuri" I told her habang tinitingnan sya ng masama and she pouted. What's with the pouting? Yes the guy was hot but he gave me the creeps na di ko ma explain. Buti nalang at tumahimik na sya at ngpatuloy sa pagkain. 

A waiter approach our table and give us a black forest cake which is one of my fave "It's on the house lovely ladies" he said while smiling then wink at me. I just give him my cold stare kaya si Yuri nalang ang binalingan nya. Men will always be men."Finish it quickly Yuri it's getting late" nagtatawanan pa kasi sila ng waiter.Hmp! wala talagang pinapalampas tong babae na to. We drove home safely after and bid our good nights. 

The next day, I woke past 10 am at pansin kong may maingay na sa baba kaya after doing my morning rituals bumaba na din ako."Gab na deliver na yung binili natin kahapon" Yuri informed me as I sit on the dining table. Nakahanda na din yung pagkain. This is one of the few things I like about Yuri magaling syang magluto at hindi sya tamad. 

"Hmmm nice" then i started eating my brunch."Bar tayo mamaya Gab" pag anyaya sa akin ni Yuri."Pass" di naman sa ayaw ko magbar isang dakilang tamad lang talaga ako."Sige na Gab, just this one before man lang magpasukan makagala tayo" she begs me nagpapa awa pa itsura nya. Sabagay she has a point, pleasure before hunting. I just give her a nod at umalis na ako sa dining table. I heard her saying Yes!

Nagising nalang ako nang may yumugyog sa balikat ko. Nakatulog pala ako dito sa sofa while watching the tv. "Come on gab 7 na oh dinner na tayo" ang haba pala ng tulog ko. Maybe from all the stress sa paghahanap sa viper's gang and from my training.

After dinner we took an hour rest and then fix ourselves kasi magbabar nga daw kami ayaw magpapigil ni Yuri. I'm wearing a red fitted dress which reach my mid thigh and pair it with my black winter shoes with 4 inches heels, light make up and then I'm good to go.

I grab my purse and went out of my room and found Yuri setting on the sofa a little too excited really. She's wearing a black mini dress which really showed her curves. Maganda naman talaga si Yuri medyo kalog nga lang. "Ang tagal mo naman Gab 9 pm na oh" reklamo nya agad ng makita ako."Tsk! We're going to a bar the party starts late" I hissed which I earned another pout from her. 

"Kotse ko nalang gamitin natin" sabi nya as we head for the door. Di ko na sya sinagot malamang diba, alangan mag motor ako.The nearest bar was a 45 minute drive at sa labas pa lang dinig mo na yung ingay. “Lets go na Gab" she grab my hand and drag me inside. Kung di ko lang talaga kaibigan to.

As usual maraming tao so I decided na sa bar counter nalang kami may access naman dun para makita mo ang nayayari sa loob ng bar. We we're drinking when I felt that familiar stare. I don't know if it's him or baka iba but I'm not really comfortable with this kind of stare it's giving me goosebumps. "Oh my God it's him" biglang tili nitong babaeng abnormal which is Yuri. And I think I know why, kaya sinundan ko yung tinitingnan nya. Ang again I've seen his emotionless eyes like his digging a hole in my head. Problema neto wala naman akong ginawa sa kanya! I sigh and just focus on my drink.
