Haywire

chapter 3

After a while, they both finished eating their breakfast. Chicky collected the dishes and proceeded to the sink to wash them. Joey helped her by cleaning the table. This was their usual routine. Joey would cook for the two of them and Chicky would clean the dishes.

Joey finished early and said, “Wiggy! I’m going to watch okay?”

“Hey! I told you I’m not wiggy! And I have a name and its not Chicky Wiggy!!” she said kind of angry. He smiled and said, “Whatever! Wiggy!”

Hala lagot na. Pikon na si Chicky. Hindi pa naman niya nahuhugasan ang kamay niyang puno ng sabon, kiniliti na si Joey. He was laughing really hard.

“Kulang pa yan! Ahahaha!!” more and more attacks coming from Chicky.

/Ding Dong!/

Both stopped laughing and Chicky said, “I’ll get it.”

“Hey! Di ka pa tapos maghugas ah?! Kala mo makakalusot ka noh?! Hahaha! Hindi ah! “ he said laughing.

“Heh!” she said as she once more tickled his side.

“Ok ok ok!!! Hahaha!!”

Chicky wiped her hands and proceeded to the door. Mark was standing there.

“Oh Hi! Goodmorning! Aga mo ata!” she greeted Mark and gave him a hug. “Yup!” and hugged her back. “Ano.. kasi may sasabihin sana ako kay Joey the Lou.” He continued.

“Ah okay..andun siya” lumingon tapos nakitang wala na si Joey. “somewhere..hanapin mo na lang. Hahaha!!”

“O sige thanks.”

Mark went upstairs to look for Joey. He found him in the entertainment room.

“Dude!” Mark greeted him. “Yo! Ba’t ka andito? Di ka rin naman late dumating noh?!” sinabi ni Joey sarcastically. “OA! Maaga pa ba?” then he looked at his phone, “oo nga 9am lang hehehe!”

“Aish! Oh ano na? Bakit?” Joey asked in a bored tone. “ Eh kasi di mo sinagot tawag ko. Kakamustahin sana kita. Nag alala me eh!” Mark replied. Joey snorted. “Sira! Naiwan ko kasi phone ko, tapos nung makita ko nakalimutan ko magreturn call.” He lied.

“Ay sus! Kilala kita. I know when you’re lying. Dali na. What happened?” <aish..kilala ko na kung kanino nagmana si Joey sa pagiging matanong>

“Wala talaga! Promise!”

“Hay nako! Fine! Edi wag mo sabihin.” Tampo naman ang bola. <meaning si mark yung bola kaya siya bola kasi ang cute niya. Yung mukha niya ang chubby parang bola>

“Kamusta na nga pala sila?” tanong naman ni Joey.

“Ayun. Si Prince may bago na namang babae. Si Max sobrang nadepress sa pag alis mo kaya ayun palaging asa labas ng bahay tapos palagi naghuhunting ng bagong resto. May nakita na nga uli siyang bago eh. Si Todd naman…haay ewan ko ba dun. Nagpunta ng China..ahahaha..” tapos ni Mark.

“Hala! China! Layo rin nun ah! Ba’t di niya tayo sinama?!” tampo ni Joey. “Oo nga eh. Hanggang ngayon di pa rin nakikipag communicate. Ang aga kasi umalis.” Hirit ni bola.

“Sira ka ba?! Mahal kaya na text at tawag dun?! Buti pa email na lang!” sabat ni Joey.

“Huh?! Teka! Pareho ba tayo ng iniisip?! Sa China! As in China Town dito! Hindi yung bansa!” taka ni bola.

“HA?! Yun ba?! Akala ko yung bansa! Kaw kasi di mo nililinaw eh..

“Hay nako! Sige na nga alis na ko. Mukhang okay ka naman dito eh.hehe..pati may gagawin pa ko.” Paalam ni bola.

“Sige Bye!” paalam ni Joey. “Wow! Di ka rin atat paalisin ako noh?!” hirit na naman ni bola. “Di naman eager lang.. hahahah!!!” sabi ni Joey. “Bye na nga! Bwiset.” Mark said. “Bye!”

When Mark opened the door nandun si Chicky. “Oh alis ka na?!” she asked. “Oo eh. Haha. Sige, alis na ko. You know I gotta do my stuff.” He said. “Oh. Okay. I’ll take you to the door.” Chicky told him. Mark just smiled.

She held the door open for him. “Bye” he said for the last time. “Bye”
