Sana Pwede Pa

Kabanata 37

Dahil umabot na sa sukdulan ang pagka-badtrip ko sa ni-reply sa 'kin ni Dominic, hindi ko na na-control ang sarili ko sa pag-inom. Sa ngayon ay nasa pang-apat na lata na ako at malapit ko na naman itong maubos.

"Got a problem?"

Napatingin ako sa lalaki sa harap ko dahil sa itinanong niya pero pagtingin ko ay hindi naman siya nakatingin sa 'kin kaya saglit din akong nagtaka kung ako ba talaga ang kinausap niya.

"Excuse me?" I asked to be sure.

This time ay napatingin na siya sa 'kin. "Seems like your planning yourself to be drank. I'm positive you got problems."

I bet this guy in front of many is also a college student. He has a fair skin that glows even if it's night time already. Mataas din ang ilong niya tas may maliit na mukha. He's good looking, but if he's planning to hit me right now, I am not interested. My mind and my heart is locked up to that damn guy named Dominic.

I rolled my eyes to the guy in front of me and answered, "So what? Can't you just mind your own business?"

I thought he'll stop but I thought wrong.

"Send him pics that you're drinking right now."

I raised my left brow because of what he said.

"If he really cares for you, he'll fetch you here. If not, then sorry but you have to accept the fact that he does not care to you at all."

Napaawang ang bibig ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Wala naman kasi akong sinabi sa kaniya pero bakit alam niyang problemado ako ngayon dahil sa isang lalaki.

"Can you just stop? You know nothing about me."

Nabigla nalang ako nang ilahad niya sa 'kin ang phone niya at ang una ko agad na nakita ay picture ng isang babae na may bangs at cute ang mukha.

"This one is my girl," he said, "so if you think I'm hitting on you then you're wrong. I just want to help."

I looked at him unbelievably but he just spoke again as if he's not acting weird. "Take a picture of these now. If you want, after sending him some pics of your drinking session, I can take a picture of you acting very drank and send it to him along with a message that I'm a man and I saw you here very drank."

I still find this guy weird but I am also starting to think that his idea is actually a good one.

"But he also knows I have a high alcohol tolerance," I answered after considering his idea.

Nang walang kaanu-ano'y itinulak niya papunta sa 'kin ang mga bote ng alak na nainom na niya at iinumin niya pa.

"I guess that's enough."

Napatingin uli ako sa kaniya dahil sa pagtataka pero tumango lang siya kaya sa huli'y napagdesisyonan ko ding subukan nalang ang sinabi niya. After all, I really wanna see Dominic tonight.

Bahala na kung anuman ang sabihin niya sa 'kin. Magkukunwari nalang akong hindi ko naalala lahat kasi lasing ako.

I took a picture of the beers both in cans and bottles and sent it to Dominic.

Bumalik ulit ang dagundong ng puso ko dahil sa kaba pero bahala na.

"Done?" he asked me so I nodded.

"Tell me if he already seen it. I'll take a picture of you acting drank and send him a message through your account."

Goodness. Tama ba 'tong ginagawa ko? Did I just consider the idea of a person I just met now?

Napatingin uli ako sa phone ko at nakitang na-seen na niya ang message ko at nagta-type na siya ngayon.

Shit! I feel like my heart's going to explode right now.
