Chapter Two

CHAPTER TWO

TYMOTEUSZ couldn't stop thinking about that blond woman he bumped into a week ago. Yes, a week had already passed, but he still kept thinking about her. Her captivating green eyes, her small pointed nose, her pinkish lips, and her chubby cheeks with a pointed jaw.

He knew it's bad to fantasize about a woman who's in a relationship already, but he couldn't stop himself. The more he stopped thinking about her, the more he thinks of her.

He even wondered what she would look like if she smiles. If her laughter is still icy cold just like her voice.

He thought about her too much that he ended up writing a dialogue letter about her.

“Tymo! Lunch's ready!” His older sister shouted from the kitchen.

He got up from his bed and checked his self in the mirror before going to their kitchen.

“Good afternoon everyone!” He greeted them.

His sister looked at him funny, “Why are you such in a good mood, Tymoteusz?”

“Why? Am I not allowed to be in good mood?” He scowled.

“Well, it's not. It's just very rare, you know?” His sister said.

His forehead ceased. “What do you mean?”

“Never mind me, Tymo. Just eat before Papa punches you again for not eating.”

He tsked before he started eating.

He admits that he seldom eats because he's too busy with his scripts and some other school works, but he's also always in a good mood.

“Tito, why do you look pissed?” His nephew called his attention.

“It's nothing, Jay. Don't mind Tito, okay? I'll be fine then we'll play later. How about that?” Pang-uuto niya rito.

“Hoy, Tymo! Kaya naaadik iyang si Jay sa xbox dahil sayo. Puro na lang laro 'yan.” Sabat ng isa niya pang ate.

Hindi niya na lang ito pinansin at nagpatuloy lang sa pagkain.

After he finished, he immediately went back to his room just like what he always does. Maingay kasi ang buong bahay nila lalo na kapag kumpleto ang buong pamilya nila. Dalawa ang ate niya tapos apat naman ang kuya, siya ang pinaka-bunso. Siya at ang panghuli niyang kuya na lang ang single sa buong mag-anak kaya sila ang madalas tapunan ng tukso na labis niyang kinaiinis.

Why rush for a relationship anyway? Hindi naman iyon laro, being in a relationship means you have a responsibility too, and he's not yet ready for that.

He did have some relationships in the past but none of it was serious.

His ringing phone got him out from his reverie. He checked it and saw an unknown number, hesitantly he answered the call.

“Hello? This is Tymoteusz Primordial. How can I help you?”

A familiar cold voice filled his ear, “Hello, Mr. Primordial. I'm calling from the Theater organization. I'm Hussain Amor Sotelo, Miss Amherst assigned me to work with you.”

He cleared his throat. He almost choked from his own saliva hearing her voice on the other line.

“I'm sorry, Miss Sotelo but Miss Amherst hasn't yet inform me about working with anyone.” aniya.

“Oh… I understand. I thought you already received her email just like I did.” A long pause from the other line, “I'll just call you again, or you can call me back, Mr. Primordial. Have a great day ahead.”

Then the line ended. She didn't even let him reply again.

HUSSAIN bit her lower lip in embarrassment. Dapat talaga hindi na siya mag first move kahit na kailan.

Lagi na lang siyang epic fail kapag nag first move. Either napapahiya siya o kung anong hindi magandang outcome na lang palagi.

“Oh? What happened to you, princess?” Her older brother, Logan asked while looking at her curiously.

“This is nothing, kuya.”

“Nothing? Your face is so red, little sister.” He said shaking his head. Not buying her excuse.

She sighed at napaupo na lang sa sofa nila.

“I did first move again, it was an epic fail. As usual.” She said while pouting.

“Bunso, sinabi ko na kasi sayong huwag na huwag ka na ulit mag first move diba? Lagot ka kay kuya Liam kapag nalaman niya 'yan.”

“Malaman ang ano, Logan?” Biglang sulpot kung saan ng panganay nilang kapatid na si Liam.

She pouted even more, looking away from her older brothers. Lagot na talaga.

“Hussain Amor Sotelo.” Seryosong tawag sakanya ng kuya Liam niya.

She awkwardly smiled at her kuya Liam.

“Nag first move nga kasi ako ulit, kuya. Epic fail ulit. It's about my collaboration with a scriptwriter sa theater organization.” Paliwanag niya.

Liam nodded at his younger sister. This always happens whenever Hussain decided to do the first move. Always a fail.

“Are you really sure about theater, princess?” He asked worriedly. His sister may be very talented, but acting is a whole different story.

“I'm sure about it, don't worry na mga kuya kong super pogi! I can handle myself naman, and I'm enjoying the theater lessons.” aniya sa mga kuya niyang nakatingin sakanya at halatang nag-aalala.

They nodded at her. Wala naman silang magagawa sa gusto ng bunsong kapatid. They should just support her like how she supported them when no one else did.

“Alright. Whatever you wanted, princess. You got us.” Sabi ni Logan at ginulo ang buhok niya bago ito umalis.

Habang ang kuya Liam niya ay hinalikan siya sa noo.

“Ah, sino palang kasama mo sa collaboration? Babae ba 'yon?” Habol na tanong ni Liam sakanya.

Nakaalis na ng sala ang kuya Logan niya.

“A guy, Kuya. I haven't seen him kasi sabi ni Keirra, yung nag assist sakin ay bago lang din daw yun si Mr. Primordial.” Paliwanag niya.

“Did you just said Primordial, bunso?” Liam asked.

She tilted her head before answering, “Yes, Kuya. His name is Tymoteusz Primordial.”

Napatango-tango naman ang kuya niya. Mukhang kilala nito ang mga Primordial.

“I see. He's the youngest Primordial, Kapatid siya ni kuya Tyson mo.” anito sakanya bago tuluyang umalis.

She gasped when she remembered the face of her kuya Tyson, her older brothers friend. Kuya Tyson… he somehow resembled the guy she bumped into last week! He's Tymoteusz Primordial!? Oh holy juices, help me!
