The Heartthrob That Can't Walk

Chapter 1

It's already morning. Mr. Tori help me to go to the bathroom. After that, he help me wear clothes, he insist. I just wore white polo shirt and black maong pants. He followed me to the dining area. Sh1t I'm going to see that spongebob girl again. Iniisip ko pa lang na i-stress na'ko.

"Good morning!" naka ngiti niyang bati. She's wearing a white shirt and black palda and of course her white rubber shoes. Is she going to dance or something? Well I didn't greet her back.

"Good morning, son." it's mom.

"Morning." did it sound lazy? I really am lazy today.

"Bakit sa'kin hindi ka nag good morning?" then she pout like a duck.

Mom and Mr. Tori laughed at her.

I just focus on my food. Wala nga akong gana kumain.

"So, how's your encounter yesterday?" mom asked.

"Annoying."

"C'mon, Shane is not that bad." she tried to convince me.

"But annoying." walang emosyon kong sabi.

"Hindi naman 'e. Hindi ka lang sanay."

"She's right, masasanay ka rin."

Wala na talaga akong gana. Ni hindi ko makain 'tong nasa plato ko. Paano ako gaganahan? E na bwibwisit ako sa babaeng kaharap ko.

"Gusto mong hotdog?" offer niya. I shook my head. Inis niyang kinagatan 'yon habang galit na nakatingin sa'kin.

"Anyway, I have a business trip. Baka friday night pa ang balik ko. Mr. Tori ikaw muna ang bahala sa kanila."

"Sure." Mr. Tori answered and drink his coffee.

"I hope you two can get along while I'm gone."

Never!

"Ingat po kayo."

"Salamag hija." mom smiled.

Sipsip pa, if I know baka nga peera lang habol mo sa nanay ko.

"I'm done." I click the button of my wheelchair amd go outside the house. I need peace of mind.

"Hindi mo pa na uubos ang pag kain mo." it's Mr. Tori.

"I don't want to see her annoying face."

"Hindi naman, maganda nga e." puri niya.

"Edi jowain mo." inis kong usal.

"Hindi gano'n ang type ko. Isa pa ang tanda ko na aber." sumandal siya sa pinto ng sasakyan habang kumakain ng tinapay at may hawak na kape. Puro kape, ang pait pait niyan.

He help me to get inside the car for the nth time. I wish I could turn back time. I won't drink that day. Maybe I can still walk if that's the thing I did before.

I play with my phone while waiting. Bwisit na 'yon pinaghintay pa talaga 'ko. Dapat sumunod nalang siya. Daig niya pa ang pagong sa sobrang bagal kumain.

"Alam mo, Stanlly. Hindi naman masama mag karoon ng kaibigan. Alam kong alam mo 'yon." biglang sabi ni Mr. Tori.

"Yeah, I know that. Pero kung kasing kulit niya never mind. " ngumiwi ako.

"Nako dyan nag simula lolo't lola ko." tawa niya.

"Ha. Ha. Nakakatawa grabe." sarkastiko kong sambit.

Maya- maya pa ay dumating na siya. Pa special ka. "What took you so long?" inis na tanong ko. Umupo siya sa tabi ko. "Ubusin ko muna raw ang pag kain ko. Bakit ka kasi umalis agad? Halos wala ka ngang nakain. Sige ka magugutom ka mamaya sa klase." daldal pa niya.
