"Why are you drowning yourself with alcohol?"
I ignored Wade's question and just drank on my beer
"Let me guess... this is about Alice, right?"
Wade called the waiter's attention and asked for another bucket. Nasa isang bar kami sa kabilang bayan. They have malls and night life here and that includes bars unlike in Monteclaro
"She doesn't want to marry me"
Wade snorted
"Bakit? Ano bang ineexpect mo? Na magtatalon sya sa tuwa dahil magpapakasal kayo? Hindi dahil napatawad ka nya ibig sabihin ay nakalimot na sya. Reasonable kung bakit takot na ulit syang sumugal sayo"
I fucking know that! Damn!
Sumandal ako sa upuan ko
"How can I get her trust again?"
"It's a process Carter. Start with the small steps, eventually you'll get there. Wag mong biglain"
Napalingon ako kay Wade na ngayon ay umiinom sa bote ng alak nya
Masyado ba akong mabilis? Binigla ko ba sya? Natatakot lang ako na baka mawala ulit sya sa akin
"I didn't expect that I'll see you here"
Nag angat ako ng tingin at nakita ang isang di pamilyar na babae. May kasama syang isa pang babae na umupo sa tabi ni Wade and the motherfucker immediately made his move
She sat on the vacant couch without asking for permission
"We met in a party last year. I gave you my number but you didn't call me even once!" nagtatampong sumbat nito
Why would I? I can barely recall her
Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya na nasa braso ko para sana alisin nang may biglang kumalabit sa akin
Nilingon ko iyon at nakita si Wade na may nginunguso sa harap ko
Parang binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig nang makita si Alice na nakatayo sa harapan ko
I don't like the stare that she was giving me. Napunta ang tingin nya sa babae na nasa gilid ko. Nagtaas sya ng kilay at bigla na lang ngumisi at umiling. Mabilis kong binitawan ang kamay nung babae. Fuck!
Baby, you're thinking wrong!
"Makiki-share sana kami ng table kaya lang... may kasama pala kayo" it was Clover
"Let's find our own" malamig na saad ni Alice
Bago nya pa ako matalikuran ay hinawakan ko na ang braso nya
"Dito na kayo" I offered
Hindi sya nagsalita at tinitigan lang ako
"We would love that... but what about them? I don't think we will fit" it was Clover's voice
I'm still staring at Alice's expression, hoping that I can read what is running on her mind
"Ahm sila ba? Hindi namin sila kilala" hinarap ni Wade ang babae sa tabi nya
"Nagkamali siguro kayo ng pinuntahan Diana"
Kumunot ang noo ng babae
"What? I'm not Diana!"
"See? Hindi namin sila kilala" Wade said when he turned to Clover
"This is ridiculous!" tumayo ang babae at naglakad palayo
"Umalis na sya, hindi ka pa susunod?" tanong ni Emir sa babaeng nasa gilid ko. I swear I can't remember her. I don't even know her name!
"I'm here for Carter"
