"Eto bahay mo diba?"
Oh, I didn't notice, we arrived at the front of our house.
"Pano mo nalaman?"
"Ang bahay, nakikita sa ugali ng tao." He went away. Ano raw? Phff.
I turned to my room and locked the door. My body led me to the bed and lied down.
"At saka, uhh, Ihahatid kita."
"Oi pre, kung ako sayo, papayungan ko yang girlfriend mo."
What's happening to me? I didn't notice that I fell asleep.

07:25 PM
My brother called me downstairs to eat dinner.
"Marriane, sweetie?" Mamu started as we’re eating our dinner. "Ano nanaman po ba?" I said, upset. There's something up. I knew it. "Kailangan maging mature ka na sa susunod na mga araw." inabot nya sakin yung invitation card. "What for?" I was about to see what's this invitation.
"For the wedding. That will be next week na."
O_O WHAT THE--?! Ano raw?! Did I hear what does she said just now? Wedding, next week na??!
"Go to your fiancé and tell to him. Di nya siguro alam yun."
Aiishh!
I looked at the invitation. I'm going crazy. Tapos na ang teenager life ko, ang pagkabata ko. I think I'm gonna die. Aish. After the dinner, I hurriedly went to him. Do you know where is he?
Nasa bar ang loko. Nakainom na sya nung nakarating ako dun.
"Sino ka?"
"Basahin mo nang matauhan ka kung sino ako." I gave him the invitation. "Teka. Di ko mabasa."
His friend read the invitation for him. Such a meanie.
"Please do come to a wonderful exchanging of vows of hhmmm --- ANO??! Yah dude, ano ‘to?!"
"Oh, great. Ikakasal na ko." he was about to drink the last beer when I took the beer from him.
"Oi, bigay mo nga sakin yan. Aiiissshh, bigay mo sakin!"
"Hindi ka dapat umiinom."
"And why wouldn't I? I'm at the legal age. 18 na ko noh."
"And so? Tingnan mo nga, andami mo nang nainom oh. Bahala ka pag namatay ka dahil dyan."
"Who says na mamamatay ako? Do you even have a care about it?"
I searched some words to say, it's just, it blurted out from my mouth. Totoo naman di ba, magkakasakit ka sa atay pag uminom ka ng sobra-sobrang alak? That may cause you to die. Am I right?
"No."
“At least, you know.” He took the beer from my hand and drunk it. Mautak ka talaga noh?

The next day, nalate ako sa school. Late students like me always have punishments. Ano kamong parusa?
Push-ups. Yup, even girls can do.
You have to push up within 30 times. Tapos magbabayad ka pa. Kainis di ba? Nangungurakot nanaman tong school na to. Aish.
I was about to do that push up thingy when I saw the man who was standing by the wall.
"Lawrence?" Sa wakas at dumating ka rin. ^_^
"Anong ginagawa mo?"
"Late ako eh." I grinned at him. Gosh, I got embarassed. Aish. I hate myself from being late. I sooper hate myself.
***
Ayun. Nagkwentuhan kami habang naglalakad and yeah, we’re starting to know each other na! Kulang na lang, romantic place. Sayang. >_< I left him at the Registrar's Office, then I turned to my room coz' i'm sooper late.
"Late ka?" I met Abby at the door.
"Hindi ba obvious ba? Asan si mam?"
"Absent." She took my things and we went to my chair.
I shook my head to my table. Next week na yung kasal, anong gagawin ko? Tumunganga na lang habang ikinakasal ako sa gwapong nilalang na yun? heh.
***
The bell rang. I hurriedly went to his room to see Lawrence, but he was not longer there.
I went out of that school, upset. Asan na ba si Lawrence? Maybe he went home na. *sigh*
Papalabas na ko ng school nung nakita ko si Rex, wearing his uniform, the hands are on his pocket and kicking the wall beside the gate.
"Anong problema mo?"
***
Ayun. It's now evening, and he already drank nine bottles of beer. What am I here for? Sitting here while watching him drinking? Nakakaasar tong lalaking to ah. I’m sitting here for so many hours already!
“Wala ka bang barkada o kaya eh kaibigan para samahan kang uminom? At tsaka, ba’t ka ba inom ng inom ha?”
"Ba’t ba ang dami mong tanong?” He grunted. “Eh kasi naman, gusto ko nang makauwi noh!”
"Makakauwi ka lang pag nahatid mo na ko." I hate you. So dinala mo pala ako rito para ihatid sa bahay mo nang lasing. Ano ko? A maid or something? I’m just your fiancé.
“Yah, hindi mo ko katulong. Fiancé mo ko.”
“And soon to be my wife. Masanay ka na nga.”
“Wala ka na ba talagang magagawa dun sa tungkol sa’tin? Hindi mo ba yun pwedeng pigilan?”
“May kasunduan kami ng papa ko kaya hindi ko pwedeng pigilan yun. Ako rin naman noh, ayokong magpakasal. Kung hindi lang dun sa kasunduan namin, malamang matagal na kong nagsarili.”
I just pouted. Nakakainis. Well, I have no choice but to did it. I brought him to his house, since it's too late and there are no cabs and buses anymore. Ang sama talaga. Kung ganto ang aabutin ko sa kanya, I think I’ll commit a suicide right now.
“Marr--ianne~~” He said as he went closer to me as I backed up. But I ended up leaning against the wall and he was hovering me. Kahit lasing sya, ang bango pa rin nya. *hits myself in my mind*
“Alam mo, cute ka rin kahit papano.” He smiled as I blushed. “An-no ba?!” I stuttered, trying to push him away from me. But I have proven unsuccessful. He was still smiling and I can’t resist but to stare at him. Now I caught myself in the scene. “Alam mo Rex, lasing ka lang. Tara na, nandito na tayo sa bahay mo.” I pushed him once more and he finally released me.
I guided him on the way but he tripped down to the gate and I broke his fall. Buti na lang at kaya ko sya. But, guess what happened?
O_O
He kissed me ACCIDENTALLY.
Or not?
