CHAPTER 36

Chapter 36

The welcome part they made for me going to happen tonight. I feel a little nervous because don't have any idea what kind of welcome party it will be. They just said that it's a surprise.

I am wearing a green satin sleeveless top and a fitted black skirt. I put my hair in a loose low ponytail and pit some light make up on my face. I looked again in the mirror for the final looked.

Nang makita kong maayos na ang mukha ko ay agad akong lumabas sa kwart ko. I heard Kelio's car outside, kaya agad akong nag madali. I opened the passenger seat of his car.

I kissed his cheeks and he stared the engine. Habanag nasa byahe ay nakatingin lang ako sa bintana. I already told the girls that I will bring Kelio at our welcome party and they immediately agreed.

"You looked good, babe. " napangiti ako dahil sa Puti nito saakin. He always complimet my looked everytime we meet.

I gave her a genuine smile. "Thanks, Kel. " nakangiting sabi ko.

Nang dumating  na kami sa bar na tinext nilang location  daw ng welcome party ay agad kaming bumaba sa sasakyan at hawak-kamay na pumasok sa loob.

Agad kong natanaw si Deiva na mukhang nag hihintay saamin  papasok. Agad akong lumapit sa pwesto nito.

"You're already here!" nakangiting sabi nito habang mag kayakap kami. I smiled at her before whispering in her ears, masyado kasing malakas ang music para mating nya ang sinasabi ko.

"Really?  Am too late? " takang tanong ko. She giggled before pulling me know the second floor of the bar. Nakasunod lang sa likod namin  si Kelio. Pumaok kami sa isang private room  ng bar at hindi masyadong malakas ang music dito at unti lang ang tao.

Hawak pa din ni Deiva ang kamay ko habang nag lalakad kami papunta sa table kung saan kami uupo. I saw them sitting while drinking. Nang makita nila ako ay agad silang tumayo para bumati.

"Thanks, guys! " nakangiting sabi ko. I hugged them one by one. Napahinto and mga mata ko kay Permion  na seryosong nakatingin saakin  habang may hawak ni baso na may lamang alak.

His intense looked are piercing through my body. Agad naman akong nailang sa mga tingin nito kaya agad akong nag iwas ng tingin. Nag simula na ang party at puro inuman and kwentuhan lang ang nangyari. Ilang beses ko ding pilit iniiwasan ang mga tingin ni Permion  saakin.

"So, Ilang years now kayo? " tanong ni Astraia kay Kelio. They looked okay with Kelio being here with us.

"Almost 3 years. " sagot ni Kelio. They looked shocked because of Kelio's answer. I looked at Kelio and smiled, he looks really proud about us being in a relationship.

"So,  how about you Permion...Ilang years na kayo ni Lyons... " halos pigilan ko ang hininga ko nang lumabas iyon sa bing ni Eri. I looked at her and she's wearing a winked smile on her lips while looking straight at Permion.

Permion looks calm while looking back at Eri. "...mag kaibigan... Ilang years na kayong Mag best friends... You know? ".natatawang sabi ni Eri. I don't know but Eri sounds really weird today. Parang may pinapatamaan sya.

Permion lips formed into savings thin line. "I lost count... " his baritone voice filled my ears. He always look happy and having fun but today he looks like he's her twin Permian. He looks really serious and cold.

Nawala ang tingin ko kay Permion  nang maramdaman ko ang mahinang pag pisil ni Kelio sa mag kahawak naming kamay. That made me looked at him and he's wearing a smile that made me calm down.

Mabuti nalang at nawala doon  ang topic namin at nag karoon ng bago. I don't remember how many shots I take. My whole surrounding feels like moving. Bumulong ako kay Kelio na pupunta muna ako sa cr dahil pakiramdam ko ay susuka na ako, sasama pa sana ito pero napigilan ko ito at mag-isa akong pumunta sa cr.

Hindi naman masyadong marami ang tao sa loob ng banyo ang iba ay sa may labas ng banyo nakatambay. I looked at the mirror and washed my face. Huminga ako ng malalim bago mag mumog ng tubig. My head is throbbing, pumasok ako sa isang cubicle para sumuka. 

"What the fuck!" mahinang mura ko bago sumuka ulit.

I heard the door of the comfort room opened but I am too occupied vomiting. 

"Lyons...Lyons, are you here?" I heard a familiar voice calling my name. Pinatunog ko ang dingding ng cubicle para maging signal na andito ako. I heard a knock coming from the cubicle I am right now. I opened the door and the first thing I saw is a blurry built of a man. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko nang maramdaman ko na parang umikot ang buong paligid.

"Are you alright?" takang tanong nito. I opened my eyes and I saw Permion looking at me witha a worried eyes. He's holding both of my shoulder, I slapped her arms that made him let go.

"Don't touch...me" lasing na sabi ko. "Go away!" malakas kong sigaw dito.

I saw his jaw clenched. "I'm not leaving you alone!" mariing sagot nito bago alalayan akong tumayo mula sa pag kakaupo sa sahig ng banyo. Tinulak ko ito dahilan kung bakit napabitaw ito saakin. He looked confuse.

"Just...go home, Permion! I don't need you" mariing sabi ko dito.

"No! Let's go home! You're drunk!" bakas sa boses nito ang inis.

"I said let go, Permion! " ngayon ay mas malakas na ang tulak ko dito. Matalim ko syang tiningnan bago mag simulang mag lakad palabas ng banyo. Hindi ko pa nabubuksan ang pinto ng banyo palabas ay agad nitong sinarado ang pinto at ni-lock ito. Takang tumingin ako sakanya, but he looked really pissed, his jaw are clenching.

He didn't waste any seconds, his lips touched mine. The way he move his lips are very aggressive. I can taste blood on my lips. I pressed my lips together to prevent him from slipping his tongue inside my mouth. My lips parted when I felt him bit my lower lip. 

"Mmph" my hands are getting weak and I felt them trembling. he pulled me closer to his body and kissed me slowly. I closed my eyes tightly before responding to his kissed. I felt him smiled while we're kissing. We savor each others lips, we kissed until our hearts content.

I can't looked at his eyes when we ended the kissed. I felt him wiped something on my face. I curiously touched my face and I felt a wet liquid there. I looked at him and he's looking at me with unknown emotion on his eyes. Agad akong nag iwas ng tingin at pinunasan ang luhang tumulo sa mga mata ko. 

Biglang pumasok sa utak ko ang mukha ni Kelio, wala akong lingon-lingong umalis sa Cr at agad lumabas ng bar. Nilabas ko ang cellphone ko at tinext si Kelio na uuwi na kami. Halos sabunutan ko ang buhok ko dahil sa ginawa ko. I responded to his kissed, I felt my lips moved the way his lips move. Our tongue touched. I bit my lower lip and shake my head.

Nang matanaw ko si Kelio na papalapit sa pwesto ko ay agad akong yumakap sakanya. I felt him brushed my hair using his fingers.

"Are you...alright?" takang tanong ko.

"Y-yeah." sagot ko.

Habang nasa bayhe kami pauwi ay hindi mawala sa isip ko ang nanyari kanina. I am in the  influence of alcohol. Nang huminto na kami sa tapat ng bahay ay agad akong nag paalam na aalis na. I made the biggest sin in my life and that's kissing other guy that is not my boyfriend. Ganito ba yung nararamdaman noon ni Permion?
