Owned by a Mystic (A DJ-Fan Story)

Chapter 11.

I'm busy putting some icing on my cupcakes when someone started tickling my sides. Oh it's mom. Yea, she's home. For now. Just for now.

"Aba Hijo, mukhang may kapalit na ata si Prince? " I heard mom's sweet voice.

"Ma, si Aby pa rin. Si Aby pa rin ang PRINCEsa ng buhay ko. " I emphasize her name.

"Nako, anak. Sana lang talaga mapatawad ka na niya. Ikaw lang ang kilala kong lalaking ganyan. I hope your efforts would be paid back soon. "

"Oo nga kuya. Namimiss na rin namin si ate Prince. Diba ate Mary? " Marie interrupted.

"Oo naman yes! " as they both giggled with happiness.

"Kaya 'yan! Puso lang! " I said as we made a group hug.

Napaisip ako sa sinabi ni mama. She's hoping that my efforts would be paid back soon? I don't care if she doesn't pay back, the thing is that I tried showing how much I wanted to please her. To get her back.. Love doesn't need to be paid back anyway. It's a voluntary act of showing how you feel, without asking for love in return.

I'm on my way to her dorm. I used to bake cupcakes for her. Ma-keso pero totoo, ilang years ko din siyang sinuyo ng cupcakes 'nun. Namimiss kp na siyang makitang kumakain ng cupcakes habang naka-ngiti. But now even a single smile , she can't. Mahirap 'man ibigay ito ng personal, pero susubukan ko. *sigh* It's a now or never situation.

Andito na ako sa tapat ng gate. I inhaled and exhaled. Umuurong ang paa ko. Para kasing ang kapal ng mukha kong harapin siya pagkatapos ng lahat ng ginawa ko. Idagdag mo pa na ako din si Mystic. The guy whom she considers friend. Friend nga lang ba?

I door belled and waited for a while. My effort wasn't wasted as I saw her approaching. Shit. Ito na 'yun! This is the perfect timing I'd been waiting for.

"Pr---"

I haven't started saying her name! For God's Sake, tinabig lang naman niya ang mga cupcakes at nginudngud sa mukha ko. Oh happy? Tsk.

I would like to say something when she left me and my face dirty. Kung hindi ko lang talaga mahal ang babaeng ito. Hayy. Napaka-hirap nga naman suyuin ng babaeng iyon. Maybe she has her period. Pampalubag loob nalang. Mystic, I know you can do it. Oh! Tristan, should I say.

I'm on my way to my job. I came early today for my schedule. I was suppose to be a 10 a. m shift, but I got there 9. My plan was all ruined. Ilang beses kong prinactice ang sasabihin ko kay Prince, then that's how she pays me back? Nako. Linguistic performance really differs from Linguistic competence. If you know what I mean then.

As I open the door of our station, everyone's laughing at me. I look at the mirror and found out na hindi ko pa pala naayos ang mukha ko. I just ignored them, wala akong oras para sa mga kalokohan ng kasama ko. I need to think of other way on winning her back. My princess..

I shook my head as I open the faucet and started cleaning my face. Ilang isaw pa ba ang kakainin, oh giliw ko?

I suddenly found myself texting Aby.

Hi, bebs! I heard, someone ruined your day?

(Hayy. I'm using Mystic's identity again. )

How did you know? May lahi ka palang daga, hindi ka naman nagsabi.

I burst with laugh while reading her reply. In some part, medyo hurt kasi masaya siya when she's having conversations with Mystic. Pero 'pag dating sakin, she's so bitter. Napaka-hirap nga naman espilingin ng mga babae.

It's because I smell stories good as rats?

Yea! :D

That "Yea! :D" of her, I can sense she's very happy right now. I used to be the reason of her smiles, but now.. Look at me, using others identity to win her back. To fool her. It hurts me a lot to use such way but I don't have any better idea. For now, my goal is to win my Princess back..
