Chapter 43
"Ahm, are you okay Maam Wela?" rinig ko ang nag-aalalang boses ng aking kaharap.
Agad kong pinunasan ang luhang kaunting umalpas sa aking mata. Mapait akong ngumisi at tumingala para pakalmahin ang sarili.
"Can I ask.. you a question?"
Asking others people's opinions sometimes can knock our senses in a good way. I would like to try with this young man.
"O shoot! Okay po," he said attentively, rubbing his hands.
"Kung sakaling nakarinig ka ng balitang may anak na at asawa yong taong mahal mo. What will you do?" I asked clearly even in my staggering state. Sinikap kong labanan ang antok.
"By the way, what is your name again?"
"Po?"
"Kanina pa tayo nag-uusap pero hindi ko yata alam ang pangalan mo,"
"Ah, Jay po, Jay Lacson." He chuckled boyishly, leaning his body on the bar. "Uh.. about your question po. For me, depende yon kung kanino ko narinig. I wouldn't drop to any conclusions after I heard the truth from her. By all odds, I should listen first to my girlfriend. Kasi ano po, baka hindi naman totoo. Gawa-gawa lang po yon nong mga taong gustong sirain ang aming relasyon."
Napakurap-kurap ako pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon. Damn.. he has a point!
"Uhuh.. what about if you really saw them with your eyes? Will you still believe in all her lies?"
His eyebrows meet on my next question. Napaisip muli siya at kuryuso na ang tingin sa akin. Agad kong iniwas ang aking mata at tumawa na lang ng konti.
"It's not me Jay. One of my close friend has a problem with her love life. It's confusing and.. y'know complicated. So she's asking for other's view," malakas kong turan para mas marinig niya ng lubusan.
May pumasok kasi na grupo ng mga kalalakihan at maingay silang umupo sa pabilog na mesang bato.
"Uh.. baka nagkamali lang yong.. friend niyo po. Better talk to her boyfriend first about it. If he will tell her otherwise, then it must be the truth. Ayon sa mga naoobserbahan ko po, hindi ugali ng desenteng lalaki ang magsinungaling sa mahal nito. It was hard to lie when you know it will hurt her a lot."
Huminga ako nang malalim. Inabsorb lahat ng sinabi niya.
"All right Jay, I will surely tell her your opinions. Thank you so much for entertaining me here while I'm alone. I appreciate it so much."
"Naku Maam, wala pong anuman yon, trabaho ko po to at saka andami kayang nakatitig sayo. Bilang isang gentleman, hindi kita kayang pabayaan."
I sighed, but still thankful to him. "Huwag mo tong sasabihin kahit kanino ah. That you saw me in my lonely, pathetic state a while ago." I grinned at him.
Medyo nawala nang kaunti ang aking kalasingan. His words leave a mark in my mind.
"Makakaasa ka po sakin Maam. Pero.. uh.. ayos lang po ba kayo? You seemed lost in your thoughts."
Lost is an understatement Jay. I was badly hurt right now. Emotionally.
"Yeah, ahm, can you send some drinks and foods in S.R. #8? Any hard drinks will do at para sa foods naman I think a lot of seafoods are great. Most of my friends love it Jay even y'know raw octopus," I giggled.
He saluted playfully with a wide smile on his cupid shaped lips.
"Aye Maam! I will tell our kitchen chefs. Ako na po ang bahala. Uh.. do you need someone to accompany you in your room?"
