Alter

uno

The golden sun reflected from the mirror as he stare at the turning ferris wheel, Gio deeply sighed. He looked at the girl beside him, a girl wearing a pink wrap-dress and white sneakers, her hair styled in a pigtail tied with a pink ribbon... his girlfriend.

"Baby buy mo ako balloon," Akisha tugged the ends of Gio's polo, pouting.

Akisha, the childish girl that is one of Cess's alter. Cess is a unique girl, unlike everyone who just live their life freely. Cess lives her life differently and by different- I mean different personalities taking over her body.

She has Multiple Personality Disorder or what others call Dissociative identity disorder (DID), this time Akisha the childish one took over.

"Baby I'll buy you that balloon if you behave, okay?" Gio said softly as he caress Akisha's hair.

"But.. okay po," Akisha pouted. "Good I'll buy you that balloon na, stay here," Gio planted a kiss on the girl's forehead, it's still his girlfriend.

Gio walked towards the balloon shop, leaving Akisha sitting on the bench. Akisha smiled while watching Gio's back.

"I'm gonna have my balloon, yay!" she whispered to herself while playing with the ends of her dress.

Akisha roamed her eyes around the park as she wait for her balloon, when suddenly she felt her head aching. Her body dropped. The girl's body is lying on the cold asphalt.

Another alter woke.

Zalie Faye, the womanizer na bisexual. Wala na siyang ibang inatupag kung hindi landiin ang mga magagandang babae na makita niya.

"Akisha, baby here's your balloon," Gio handed the red balloon, smiling.

Faye looked at him with disgust in her eyes, "Ew, don't call me baby," she rolled her eyes. "Akisha's not here, It's Faye," she added and smirked.

Faye clicked her tongue, irritated. "Kung ano-ano nanamang pakulo ginagawa ni Akisha sa buhok niya eh," she removed the ribbon from her hair, aggresively and pushed her hair back.

"Dahan-dahan, baka malagas nanaman 'yung buhok mo."

"Buhok lang 'to, tutubo ulit," she licked her lower lip as she look at Gio from head to toe, then she stopped right where Gio's sensitive part is placed.

"Pero kapag 'yang tite mo naputol, hindi na tutubo 'yan," Faye laughed, she brushed her hair up.

Gio just sighed.

Faye stopped laughing, she looked at the pink dress she's wearing, pilit na ina-adjust ang haba nito, "Sino bang nag pauso ng pink na kulay," Faye suddenly looked at Gio.

She smiled, "Palit tayo? Maganda 'yang polo mo eh," Faye teased Gio by tugging his polo.

"Ayoko, bumili ka nalang ng damit mo," he handed Faye his wallet.

"Thank you asukal de papa!" she shouted, laughing.

Gio crossed his arms, he sat on the bench where he and Akisha were sitting earlier.

Gio sighed, "Bakit si Faye pa, Cess ang hirap-hirap ihandle ni Faye."

Faye who is now wearing a black pants and a black plaid flannel called Gio. She's still wearing the same sneakers, lumingon si Gio nang marinig niya ang pangalan niya.

"Kahit anong style talaga ng damit bagay kay Cess," Gio whispered.

"Kung ano ano nanaman sinasabi mo diyan," Faye grabbed Gio by the hand, "Halika punta tayo dun, hanap tayo chix," she added sabay hila kay Gio. Buntong hininga lang ang sagot ni Gio sa kaniya.

"Babae nanaman," Gio whispered again.

"Are you saying something, Gio?" taas kilay na tanong ni Faye, emphasizing Gio's name.

"Wala, ang sabi ko tara na doon oh maraming babae," inunahan ni Gio sa pag lalakad si Faye.

Gio doesn't really like Faye. Bukod sa puro babae ang nasa isip nito, she's always giving Gio the kasungitan na hindi naman ginagawa sa kaniya ni Cess.

"Hoy lalaki sandali," Faye stopped walking, "Mag c-cr lang ako naiihi ako, 'wag mo ako unahan doon sa mahaba buhok ha, akin 'yon!" she added before running towards the comfort room.

"Wala naman akong interest na mambabae," he whispered, rolling his eyes.

Faye, who's busy washing her hands after using the comfort room, felt her head aching. Dahan-dahan siyang naglakad palabas ng cr nang bigla itong nahimatay.

Araceli Cess Aviana.

Cess finally had the control to her body. She stretched her arm to reach the sink, supporting herself to get up. Nahihilo pa siyang lumabas ng cr.

Cess saw her boyfriend leaning on the wall outside the woman's comfort room, "Love?"

"Stop messing around Faye, si Cess lang ang gusto kong tumatawag sa akin niyan, bilisan mo umuwi na tayo," Gio stated, not looking at the girl who called him.

"Faye? love I'm not Fay- lumabas si Faye?" gulat na tanong nito.

With a surprised look, Gio faced his girlfriend, "Love? Ikaw na ba 'yan?"

Gio hugged her. "Yes love, what happened? Bakit nasa park tayo?" Cess asked, habang nag lalakad sila papunta sa lugar kung saan naka-park ang kotse ni Gio.

"Sumakit 'yung ulo mo habang nanonood tayo ng cartoons kanina... pabalik na ako nang makuha ko 'yung gamot mo tapos nakita kota naglalaro" he explained, "Akisha told me na gusto niya pumunta sa park, kaya nandito tayo ngayon," he added.

Gio remembered how Akisha took over.

"Love nood tayo ng cartoons please," Cess pouted, trying to convince her boyfriend.

"Umiiral nanaman ang pagiging isip bata ng baby ko ah, sige," he smiled, caressing his girlfriend's hair.

They're in the middle of watching adventure time when Cess groaned.

"Love ang sakit ng ulo ko, paki a-,"

"'Yung gamot mo, wait," tumakbo si Gio papunta sa cr para kunin ang gamot ni Cess.

Pabalik na si Gio sa kwarto nang makita niya si Cess sitting in front of the television while playing by herself using Akisha's toys.

"Akisha."

Akisha looked at him with a wide smile plastered on her face. Gio stopped recalling the event earlier when Cess spoke.

"Akisha? Lumabas din si Akisha?" gulat na tanong ni Cess.

Gio hummed in response, "Nag pabili pa nga siya ng balloon sa akin tapos pag balik ko si Faye ka na," Gio explained, eyes focused on the road.

"Babae nanaman ba?" Cess moved her eyes from Gio papunta sa bintana.

Cess doesn't like Faye either. Because of Faye she would always wake up with unfamiliar girls sleeping beside her, naked. Minsan ay amoy alak rin siya.

"Yes love, pero 'wag ka mag alala, wala kaming babaeng nakita," nakangiting sagot ni Gio.

Nang makauwi. Cess did not bother to change her clothes or even take a bath, pagod siya. Kahit na wala siyang maalala na ginawa niya na nakakapagod but still her body told her that she needs to rest.
