Phil Manansala の小説・ストーリー

I remain composed with a small smile plastered on my face. Maximo smirks at me, his gaze simply darkening in a frightening way. It's the first time he has looked at me like this, “ Isn’t that right, Samantha? You won’t play any tricks on us right, cause you know I am itching to burn stuff up,” My senses are alert and I offer a sharp node. He snaps his fingers, “ Great, Santino, call her brother.” He instructs. As he ashes up the cigar in his palms. I took note of how he only smokes one type of cigar, the most expensive one in the world. He is truly living up to his billionaire reputation.

Lumabas si Manang sa kusina at agad akong hinanap. “Selene, may bisita ka Raw?” at nang nakumpirma niya iyon ay palakaibigan itong ngumiti kay Philip. Lumapit ako kay Manang at hinaklit ang mga kamay sa braso, mumunting pinisil ang kanang kamay niya. “Manang, si Philip po pala. Philip, si Manang Tasing ko,” at nginitian din siya.

sabi nito sa akin kaya agad naman akong napatango. “Sino naman ang kapatid ko na Red ang pangalan. Bakit hindi ko s'ya nakikita rito?” pagtatanong ko muli. Napatingin naman siya sa akin. “Ah, si señor ho. Nasa Manila po s'ya at nag-aaral ng pag-aabogasya. Nais po s'yang isama sa eleksyon ng iyong ama rito sa San Cabrini upang maging gobernador,” pagbibigay alam niya.

Nakita niya na gumuhit ang amused na tingin sa mga mata nito sa kanyang ginawa. Ibinaba ng lalaki ang kamay sa mesa at pinagsalikop ang mga iyon. Sumagap ng hangin sa dibdib at nagsalita, “Hindi ko alam kung paano ko ipapakilala ang sarili ko sa iyo, Alessandra. Alam kong hindi kaaya-aya ang alaala mo sa akin, dahil sa isang panaginip. Panaginip na dumalaw din sa akin. Pero ang masasabi ko, kung nagkataong mangyari man ang lahat ng iyon sa panahong ito–bilang ako, si Philip Martin–hinding-hindi ko magagawa iyon.”

Eion rolled his eyes at his friend. The goofy man faced me, “I am Phoenix, by the way. The only full Filipino here. Loud and proud.” He smiled, his teeth glistening against the sun. “Yeah, it's very obvious since you are so noisy. And the height said another handsome man butted in. I almost laughed, because she’s true. It seems that Phoenix is the shortest one here…well, almost at the same height as Theon but he Phoenix rolled his eyes, “Shut up, man. And me and my wife here Sereia owns some land properties and a farm at Gensan. I also am a great photographer.”

My eyebrows met even more. "I don't even know him." I said because it's true. If Mien hadn't spoken earlier, I wouldn't have remembered her as my blockmate. And especially her boyfriend I just heard the name. "Galvez!" In the quiet room, atty's Diaz's call on my last name echoed. I immediately stood up straight and rested both my hands on either side of me before taking a deep breath. "In the case of people of the Philippines vs. Manaligod in 2018, what was the issue?" He asked seriously as he arranged the index cards in his hand.

I even have no clue if he knows I am gay. My father is the president of this country, the Philippines. He was elected last May 2012 with a five million votes difference from his female competitor, Jacinta Tiangco, who is now living her best life in Japan. We were already expecting him to win that year since he got the hearts of millions of Filipinos because of his countless advocacies that are mainly focused on the environment and economy.

I still didn't meet him in personal but he's always present in our meeting. Mamba pointed the white screen, gesturing for me to stop looking at her laptop. "Guys, this is the house of the Chief Justice of the Philippines." Sphinx started. "The most honourable Chief Justice as they said, Ferdinand Silva." I saw a huge mansion with a wide garden and pool. Mom will like the design of it. "Sphinx, this a government official." Centaur said. I looked at Mamba who's now clenching her fists. What's the matter? Her eyes were glued on the wide screen, not even blinking. God. She looked scary.
