DRUNK CALL (GxG)

Chapter Six

Jaxien's

Nakatulog si Yvren sa bisig ko. Muntik na ngang may mangyari kanina e, y'know what I mean. Kasi we're both drunk.

Pero realization hit me, na lasing lang si Yvren. Siguro hindi na n'ya alam ang ginagawa niya kanina. It's either she kissed me on purpose or her kiss was merely the alcohol's reactions.

Ugh! Sumasakit ang ulo ko, as far as I remember.. Yvren hasn't any history of being a drunken flirt.

Pero...

I am both happy and bummed at the same time. Kasi we've just kiss awhile ago. It was something I should be proud of. I mean, nakaka-boost lang ng ego kasi.. Mahal ko 'yung tao e.

Yeah... Aminado na ako, sumuko na ako. Ayoko nang makipag-talo sa isipan ko, kung dapat ba na gustuhin ko s'ya.

Ano pa bang magagawa ko?

Gusto ko na si Yvren e. Worst mahal ko na.

We cannot dictate nor teach our hearts to choose whom it will beat.

And me? I just fall in love with my best friend without warning or any restrictions.

As I admit to myself na mahal ko na si Yvren, tinanggap ko na rin na sooner or later I will be hurt. I know pain is inevitable, but I don't know if I can endure pain.. Another pain..

Sabagay, wala namang nagmamahal nang hindi nasasaktan.. hindi ba?

Kasi you can't call it love if there's no pain in it. Love will always been followed by pain. That's the reality I know.

I know I was a playgirl, it was okay? Meaning dati pa. So kaya kahit mapag-laro ako dati, alam ko naman kung paano mag seryoso. I've been in love before. Mali nga lang 'yung napag-tuonan ko ng pagmamahal dati. Well, I don't know, siguro lesson lang si Charlotte sa'kin. Lesson that I should have learn to.

Pero alam kong may sama pa ako ng loob kay Charlotte, and I need to remove those grudges. Gusto kong malinis at buong-buo kong ibibigay kay Yvren ang puso ko.

Naputol ang pagiisip-isip ko nang tumunog ang cellphone kong nasa center table. I reached for it, then answered the call immediately.

"Hello?" I asked upon pressing the answer call button.

And it's my mother who's in the line.

"Maui where are you?"

"In my apartment, why?"

I heard her light sobs. There must be something bad happened. I feel it.

"Your dad Maui... He was shot."

At para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig pagkarinig ko sa sinabi nang Mommy ko. I feel like my heart skipped a beat. What the fck? Si Dad...

"Saang hospital Mom? How's Dad condition?" Sunod-sunod kong tanong. I felt my eyes begun to water. Kahit naman kasi napaka-controlling ni Daddy, still... Tatay ko parin 'yun. I'm still from his blood and flesh.

"NCCI Doctors hospital and you're dad was still on the operating room... He's on critical condition.." Sagot ni mommy habang umiiyak parin.
