A Man Novels & Stories

It’s a man and a woman and they’re wearing a facemask. Una kong napansin ang lalaki. Matangkad ito, may tindig na parang laging handang makipaglaban. Nakasuot ng pormal na amerikana pero ang presensya niya ay mas matalim pa kaysa sa lahat ng negosyanteng nakasalamuha ko. And most of all, he looks damn familiar! Wait….

Tuloy ay hindi ko napigilan ang pagtitig sa kanya. This man has a commanding presence, probably because of his height, which I estimate to be over six feet. He’s not overly muscular but he has toned build. Kaya bagay at tama lang sa kanya ang fit ng suot niyang white polo at gray pants. Pwede rin siyang modelo ng brand nito. Naglakad palapit sa kama ‘yung lalaki. Sino ba namang hindi mapapatitig sa artistahin niyang mukha?

"This can be used for our investigation but since it was yours, I'll let you open it but after that, you'll surrender this to us." Aangal pa sana ako at gaganti pero pinigilan ko na lang ang aking sarili. This man, he looks like he's in early thirty. Malaki ang pangangatawan at ramdam agad na mas lamang siya sa akin dahil sa tindig ng kaniyang katawan. I can't just do reckless thing like what I did earlier or he might break my bone.

I don’t know if this is just me not moving on what just my dad said or it’s something that this man approaching us is making me feel. This guy is wearing long sleeves in white, and it was tucked into his black chinos. Hapit na hapit iyon sa katawan niya, parang ipinasadya itong ginawa para sa kanya. From his physique, you can tell that he’s been working out for at least three days a week. Hindi niya ibinaba ang kaniyang tingin sa akin habang naglalakad siya papalapit sa kinauupuan ko.

"Hello po Kuya, good morning. Kayo po ang magda-drive sa akin papuntang MGC?" Today I'm going to Monteverde Group of Companies. A man, I think in his early thirties walk towards me. He has a large frame and a well built body. He is tall, dark and handsome. Makapal ang kilay, matangos ang ilong at nakadepina ang mga panga. In short, gwapo.

Isang guwapo at matipuno na lalaki ang nasa opisina ni Manolo Enriquez. May katangkaran at medyo moreno. Hapit na hapit ang suot nito na damit na pinatungan ng itim na leather jacket. Kahit nakaupo ay mahahalata ang maganda at matipuno nito na pangangatawan. Tahimik siya na nakaupo at naghihintay lamang sa mga tanong na ipupukol sa kan’ya ng matanda na kaharap niya.

Kaya inuna na muna niya ang magpakasasa sa mga babae to vent his annoyance. The man was in his early sixties, standing five-eight tall. He has a fair complexion at may alon-alon na buhok which is naturally golden brown which shows he is a mixed race. At his age and sa tikas ng kaniyang pangangatawan, he is often mistaken as Maverick's brother. Women often describe him as a beef-cake and stud which made them drool for him and crave to get his attention para matikman ang kaniyang kamandag which he always granted wordlessly.

Padabog akong naglakad patungo sa bakanteng upuan malapit sa dance floor. Hindi ko makita si Liam. Bahala siya sa buhay niya! "Do you want to drink? Wine or juice?" A man asked me while holding two glasses of wine. The man had distinct facial features, with a sharp nose and thick eyebrows. He's wearing a black suit. He smiled and sat beside me. "Are you alone?" he asked before he drank the wine.

May matangkad na lalaking nakatayo sa gilid niya, at dahil tumatama ang ilaw sa paningin niya ay hindi niya kaagad nakita ang mukha nito. The man was holding a guitar in his hands, nakasuot ito ng puting long sleeve polo na naka-rolyo hanggang siko at naka-tucked in sa suot na puting pantalon. The length of his legs was so mesmerizing she couldn't help herself but stare at them. Muling umangat ang tingin niya sa mukha ng lalaki. Sa pagkakataong iyon ay may napansin siya. Ang lalaki ay may suot na mga hikaw sa magkabilang tenga, at ang buhok na naka-brush up at ponytail ay kulay blonde. Bahagyang yumuko ang lalaki dahilan upang makita niya nang tuluyan ang mukha nito. Sandali siyang napatitig

“Huwag n’yong pilitin kung ayaw niyang sumama sa inyo, pare.” I spun to the man who spoke. I saw him standing in the middle of the men’s restroom door. He is tall, has clean cut hair, and has a broad chest and muscular body. Even though I couldn’t really see his face because of the red light, I knew he was handsome, with thick eyebrows, a pointed nose, thin lips and a perfect jawline with a thin beard. “Pare, huwag ka na mangialam dito. Kami ang nauna kay miss beautiful kaya humanap ka na lang ng ibang babae riyan,” wika ng isang lalaki na may hawak pa rin sa kamay ko.
