Wild Rage

Kabanata 22

Rage Alexander

“Magtago ka!” Mariya whispered in a shouting manner. I don’t know if I’m making any sense. She looked frantic whilst I looked amused by the situation.

Tumayo si Mariya at aligagang dinampot ang mga damit namin. She threw my clothes at me. Pinanlakihan pa niya ako ng mata. I could see her fully because I switched on the lampshade beside the bed.

Rinig pa rin ang sigaw ni nanay Lita sa labas na mayroong magnanakaw sa kwarto ni Mariya. I couldn’t help but laugh inside my head.

“Bilisan mo! Baka mahuli tayo!” aligaga pa ring saad ni Mariya.

I looked at the clothes she threw at me. “Do you expect me to wear this?” I asked her while holding her pink underwear with my thumb and index finger. It is dangling in front of me.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Mariya sa hawak kong underwear. She realized she was wearing my color gray brief. She looked back and forth at her panties and my brief she is wearing while her mouth is gaped open. Then, her face turned into a tomato.

Lumapit ako kay Mariya. Smirk was evident on my face. “Let me take that brief off of you.”

Lumuhod ako sa harapan ni Mariya. Hinubad ko ang brief at ipinasuot ang kanyang panty. “Naalala mo ba noong ako ang nagsusuot ng underwear mo noong five years old ka pa lang?”

“Don’t mention it,” maktol ni Mariya. Natawa ako sa naging reaksyon niya.

“You loved wearing diapers at five years old.”

“Rage!” sigaw niya sa pangalan ko. Kahit hindi ko iangat ang ulo ko para tingnan siya ay alam kong pulang-pula ang kanyang mukha dahil sa kahihiyan sa kanyang nakaraan. I couldn’t help but to smile at her silliness. “A-anong magagawa ko? Ang lambot kasi sa ano, eh!”

Bago ko maisuot sa kanya ng tuluyan ang kanyang pink na underwear ay hinalikan ko ang kanyang hiyas. Her folds are so soft and she smells so good. I wanted to lick her but nanay Lita kept screaming outside, kaya naman ipinasuot ko na ng tuluyan ang underwear ni Mariya.

Tumayo ako at saka isinuot ang aking brief, then my clothes. Nagtaka si Mariya nang lumapit ako sa flatscreen TV at binuksan iyon. Pagkatapos ay nagpunta ako sa balcony. Sinundan ako ni Mariya.

“Sabihan mo si nanay Lita na nanonood ka ng horror movie,” saad ko. “Open the door and let her in.” Pagkatapos kong sabihin iyon ay lumipat ako sa balcony ng kwarto ko dahil magkatabi lang naman ang aming kwarto.

When I landed on my balcony successfully, I heard Mariya opened the door of her room and she let nanay Lita inside.

“Muntik ko nang ipagiba ang pinto ng kwarto mong bata ka!” nag-aalalang sigaw ni nanay Lita kay Mariya. “Kung hindi lang hinabilin ng iyong ama ang mga gamit at ang old house na ito, baka kanina pa nasira ang pinto mo!” aniya pa.

I could hear Mariya explaining but it was inaudible. I know she could handle that, so I went inside my room and laid on my bed.

Tumulala ako sa kisame habang iniisip ang nangyari sa amin ni Mariya kanina. I will never get tired of fvcking her senselessly. I want her only for me.

Kakaisip sa mga nangyari sa amin ay hindi ko namalayang nakatulog na pala ako. The next day, I woke up early only to see madame Valeria sitting in the living room with a cup of tea on her hand.

Bumaba ako sa hagdan at dumiretso papunta sa living room. I stood up three meters away from her.

“Aren’t you going to greet me ‘good morning’” aniya.

“After all the lies you told everyone?” I asked calmly.

“Have a seat first before I spill some tea,” anyaya ni madame Valeria. I sat at the couch in front of her and leaned my back against it.

“What’s your deal?” I asked her.

“Well, I told everyone that you’re after the inheritances. Look how you made chaos in my family,” madam Valeria said in an amusingly manner. Nakaangat ang isang gilid ng kanyang labi.

“How was it my fault? You told them lies and you’re blaming me for it?” seryoso kong saad. There was a hint of anger in my voice, but I kept my cool because she is Mariya’s aunt.

“If I won’t tell them, who will?” aniya at saka niya ipinatong ang kanyang hawak na tasa sa mesa. “Galit na ba ang mga pinsan ni Ysabelle sayo? I hope they are,” aniya pa. Kumuyom ang mga kamay ko. “And I hope they will despise you and remove you from our family. You don’t belong in our family, Rage. That’s why I came here to tell you this.” Madame Valeria leaned forward. “Leave. And don’t ever come back.”

“Why?” I asked her. It was my turn to look smug. “Para makuha mo ang lahat ng mana ng Fuentes clan dahil ako ang namamahala sa namana ni tito Hermano on his behalf? Looks like you’re truly threatened by me. I’m just a nobody in this family, madame. I don’t even consider myself as a Fuentes. I have never changed any of my name and never have I mentioned anything about everyone’s inheritance. You’re scared that Mariya will take over everything because of an old tradition? Of all the Fuentes, ikaw lang ang may takot mawalan ng mana. Just accept the fact that the old tradition of the Fuentes clan still lives on until now.”

“You bastard! Don’t you dare talk to me like that! Sampid ka lang dito!” galit na wika ni madame Valeria sa akin. Napatayo pa siya dahil doon. And I just sat there comfortably.

“Tita Valeria!” sigaw ni Mariya. Nagawi sa kanya ang atensyon namin ni madame Valeria. Pababa siya ng hagdan. Mariya marched towards her aunt. “Hindi bastardo si Rage dito! How could you say that! Hindi man siya dugong Fuentes pero tinuturing natin siyang pamilya!”

Naningkit ang mga mata ni madame Valeria kay Mariya tsaka niya ito dinuro. “Mark my words, Ysabelle. Sa oras na malaman kong may ginagawang kababalaghan ang Rage na yan sa pamilya natin, magsisisi ka!” Pagkatapos sabihin iyon ni madame Valeria ay padabog siyang lumayas sa bahay. Dinig ang bawat pag-click-clack ng kanyang pulang stilletos sa flooring.

Humarap sa akin si Mariya. Tumayo ako at lumapit sa kanya. Worry was evident on her face.

“Sorry sa inasal ni tita Valeria..” aniya.

“Don’t think about it too much. I can handle her,” saad ko. I was about to kiss her when she took a step backwards.

“B-baka may makakita..” nakangiwi niyang wika.

I smiled sadly at her. “Yeah, sorry,” saad ko. She looked apologetic but I did my best to smile at her and reassure her. “It’s fine, Mariya.”

“Okay..” aniya. “Uhm, lalabas lang kami ni Janessa. Babalik din kami agad mamaya.”

“Alright. Pupunta na ako sa rancho at pagawaan ng tela. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

I went to the ranch first and found the person I’m looking for.

“Kailan ka aalis?” diretso kong tanong kay Andres habang tinatabas niya ang hoof sa paa ng isang kabayo. Mayroon itong impeksyon at tumutulo ang kulay green na likido sa bawat pagtabas niya sa hoof.

“Huwag kang magmadali,” aniya habang patuloy siya sa kanyang ginagawa.

“Postpone it,” saad ko. Andres stopped working on the horse’s hoof, then he looked at me. “Don’t flatter yourself too much if I’m letting you stay. Temporary lang ito,” dagdag ko pa.

“I’m not flattered. In fact, I have decided to stay,” ani Andres.

“You’ve decided to stay? Your point?”

Lumapit si Andres papunta sa harapan ko. We looked at each other as if we are deciphering each other. He looked straight in my eyes and I matched it. I won’t allow him to win.

“Gusto ko si Ysabelle. And I’m going to stay.”

I smirked at him. “She will never look at you the same way she looks at me, Anderson. She is mine.”

“We’ll see kapag nalaman ng pamilya niyang may namamagitan sa inyo. Hindi ko hahayaang kamuhian si Ysabelle ng pamilya niya nang dahil sa puppy love na mayroon siya sayo. Time will come she is going to open her eyes and she will realize that her family comes first before you. Sa tingin mo ba kakayanin niyang magtalo-talo ang pamilya niya? She may be hard headed and stubborn, but she loves her family and it will surely kill her inside kapag nagalit sa kanya ang pamilya niya. Time is ticking, Rage. Kung ako sayo, ikaw na ang umiwas kay Ysabelle. She’s better off without you.”

Tumitig lamang ako kay Andres. I don’t have to fight him about something petty. Nasabi ko na rin ang gusto kong sabihin and that’s what matters right now.

Nagpunta ako sa pagawaan ng tela at napansin si Leo na kausap ang officer-in-charge. Kumunot ang noo ko sa aking nakita. What the fvck is he doing?

Lalapitan ko na sana siya nang harangan ako ni Elijah. “Kung ano man ang nais mong gawin ngayon, mas maganda kung pahupain mo muna, bro,” ani Elijah sa akin. “Hindi ko rin alam kung anong nangyayari kay Leo ngayon. He is acting weird lately.”

“I don’t think kinausap siya ni tito Hermano,” saad ko habang matiim na nakatitig kay Leo.

“Ewan ko, everyone is acting weird except for Janessa, Ysa, Caleb, and Jacob,” umiiling na wika ni Elijah. “Mas mabuti kung sa ibang araw mo na komprontahin si Leo. Marami kasing tao rito. Talk to him privately,” aniya pa.

Sa huli ay nagpunta na lamang ako sa opisina. Ngunit matapos ang kahalating minuto ay pumasok si Leo sa office diretso sa akin.

“I’m taking part in this factory starting today. Put me in the organizational chart. Operations Manager,” diretsong wika ni Leo. Hindi na talaga siya nagpaliguy-ligoy pa.

“Says who?” I asked.

“Says me,” simple niyang sagot.

“I’m going to discuss this matter with tito Hermano first.”

“What for? This factory is going to be mine sooner,” seryosong wika ni Leo.

Tumayo ako at nilapitan siya para kausapin siya ng masinsinan. “What’s your deal, Leo? You clearly know that this property is tito Hermano’s.”

“Things are going to change sooner, Rage. Better practice to call me your ‘boss’.” Pagkasabi niyon ni Leo ay saka na siya lumayas sa paningin ko.

I didn’t waste any second to call tito Hermano right away. It took him a few rings before he answered my call.

“Tito, what’s happening?” bungad ko.

Umubo ng umubo si tito Hermano. I got more worried about his condition now that I’m not there to care for him.

“There are some disputes in our family, Rage,” ani tito. Hinihingal siya. That cough took so much energy from him. “Nagkakagulo ang mga kapatid ko sa mana. Pati ang ibang mga pinsan ni Ysabelle ay nagkakagulo rin.”

“Leo is taking actions, tito. What am I suppose to do now? I need your words,” saad ko.

“Kinausap ako ng doctor ko. It’s a sad news, but you know I’m prepared to die. But I can’t leave like this knowing my daughter will get nothing from any of my properties. Kaya ko ipinahahanap ng mapapangasawa si Ysabelle. She has to get married before I leave this world. If I die and she is not married, everything will go to Valeria as she is the second-born among my siblings. You know my sister is cunning. She is starting war in our family and she knows everyone’s weaknesses.”

Lumunok ako at nag-isip ng paraan bago ako nagsalita.

“Then I’m going to ask your blessing tito. Let me marry your daughter.”
