A Man Novels & Stories

Subalit, may ilan na pumunta dito para panoorin ang palabas. Sa isang bato na nasa dalawampung metro ang taas, isang matandang lalaki ang nakaupo. Nakasuot siya ng puting balabal at may hawak siyang isang tungkod, halintulad sa isang salamangkero ang kanyang itsura. Noong sandaling iyon, napako ang tingin ng lahat sa matandang lalaki na ito. Kulay puti ang buhok ng matandang lalaki, at mukha siyang masigla at puno ng buhay.

Kitang-kita niya na bigla na lamang umiba ang hilatsa ni Mr Wong. Tumayo si Manuel mula sa inuupuan nita atsaka hinakbang ang kanyang mga paa at huminto siya sa tapat ni Mr Wong. "I'm Manuel Sandoval, a business tycoon at the same time I'm an architect," pakilala niya sa kanyang sarili, sabay lahad ng kanan kamay niya.

"S-sir s-sorry, maawa po kayo, kakarampot lang ang kita ko, huwag niyo naman ako kasuhan."nagmamakaawang saad ni manong driver. Nakatalikod kase ang lalaki sa akin.Sobrang tangkad nito. Pumunta ako sa tabi ni manong driver.

Nawala ang mga litrato at pinalitan ito ng isang muted clip kung saan nagsasalita ang isang lalaki sa harap ng crowd. The man was wearing a very formal black suit. Agaw pansin ang malapad nitong balikat at ang kakaibang tindig nito. His eyes were so stern and serious. In every subtle move, he's claiming authority and space. Every time his mouth and lips move, he's claiming everyone's attention. Kumunot ang noo ko. Natapos ang clip at bumalik sa mga host ang camera.

Nakatingin lang sya sa kanyang harapan kaya napatingin din ako. Ang kaninang lungkot na nararamdaman ko ay napalitan ng kaba. The man standing wearing his business attire standing with a pride kahit na may edad na sya. Two bodyguards beside him. "What is he doing here?" inis na tanong ni Savannah.

Nang muli niyang sulyapan ang booth, halos wala na iyong laman. "Ikaw pala ang icon ng manikang ito. Can I get a photo as well? I bought one." Isang lalaking mestizo ang nagsalita sa kanyang gilid. Bago pa siya makatanggi ay nahapit na siya nito at h******n sa pisngi kasabay ng pagkislap ng camera sa harap nila.

Bumalikwas siya at wala sa sariling pinagmasdan ang lalaking nakaupo sa gilid ng kamang kinahihigaan niya. The man's face and lips were pale, he had a bandage on his head, and his mustache and beard had barely grown. He was also wearing a leather jacket, jeans, and high-cut leather boots. It was the first time she had seen the man dressed like that, but even so, he was still handsome despite his rugged appearance. “Keiko...” masuyo nitong pagtawag sa kan'ya sa namamaos na boses.

"M-Mukhang kulang ka sa pahinga, kahit anu-ano na lang sinas—" "Janus!" Halos mapatalon ako sa gulat sa isang malalim at mariing wika mula sa aming likod. I was taken aback by a tall man who I think was in his mid 40s, wearing a gold three piece suit that rich people here in Salamanca usually wear and also carrying a tabaco cane. His eyes are emotionless as if his influence is too high. His face was quite familiar, as if I had seen him before.

"S-sino ka?" Malaking bulto ng isang lalaki ang bumulaga sa kanya. He was dripping wet from head to toe. Nakatalukbong sa ulo nito ang hood ng jacket na suot nito kung kaya't halos hindi niya maklaro ang kabuuan ng mukha nito. The man is tall, bulk and subtly dangerous. A Herculean person. A mythical ideal built that surely every man's dreaming to possessed. He has this self-destructive quality in someone else.

Nakalimutan sigurong isarado nila Aling Tessa. I strolled towards the balcony and was about to close the glass door when a sudden movement startled me. I silently peer out, it was just a quick look but what I saw froze me. In the darkest corner stood a man with a broad, imposing frame. He was topless, his hair a disheveled mess as if he had just risen from a fight-or was about to start one. Moonlight slipped through the shadows, tracing the hard lines of his muscles and casting a cold glow over the tattoos carved into his skin, each one making him look more lethal.
