“HEY, are you a Japanese?”
Napa-angat ang isang kilay ko at nilingon ang babaeng nagtanong.
“Stop. Just stop.” Napabuntong-hininga ako nang makita na naman ang babae kahapon. Nakadilaw pa rin ito pero iba na ang disenyo.
She surely likes yellow.
“Stop what?”
I pursed my lips and rolled my eyes, “your fake British accent which sucks.”
“What?!” Nagkasalubong na ang dalawang kilay nito at masamang nakatingin sa kaniya. “You are really… really… annoying. For insulting my accent!”
I blinked as I sort to my head what she said and our past encounters. Lagi ko ngang iniinsulto 'yong accent niya— ah, eh? I never insulted her but… tease her. Even to someone I know I do that… and of course Ate too.
“Oh, sorry… I just… “
“I hate you! I don’t like you! Why are you even insulting my accent!?” Kulang na lang ay magpapa-padyak siya doon. “Are you happy making fun of me?! Huh?!”
Napaatras ako nang umabante siya papalapit sa akin. I started to panic as I saw her teary-eyed. My eyes widen and don't know if I would stop her or let her walk towards me.
“I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to—”
“See! You're even bragging your British accent! How dare you use that after insulting mine!?”
“Hey, calm down, kid—”
“Do I look like a kid?!”
Napatingin ako sa paligid at mabuti na lang ay malayo-layo ang mga tao at mabuti na lang din ay may kahinaan ang boses ng babaeng nagra-rant sa harap ko kahit na halos mukha siyang mapuputukan na ng ugat sa lalamunan.
“Hey,” I calmly said. “Calm down, okay? I'm sorry for insulting you… and your accent, even I am not insulting it. Well, let's just say that I had a hint about your nationality after hearing your accent—”
“And now! And now you're insulting my nationality!?”
Natigilan ako at medyo nanlaki ang mga mata dahil sa sinabi niya. Pinakatitigan ko lang siya hanggang sa maglabas ako ng buntong-hininga.
Geez, why would I insult her nationality if my guts tell that we are both Filipino.
“Look, I love Philippines and its people, except for those who have a bad…” I rolled my eyes, “… attitude and personality.”
Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at napatakip ang isang kamay sa bibig habang nakaturo ang isa sa akin. “How did you know… that I am a Filipino?”
Napataas ang dalawang kilay ko. So… I am right, huh? Wow, I have a lot of guts… and now I am wondering what did came true.
“I know a Filipino when I see one, “ I smirked.
Natigilan siya pero agad din akong sinamaan ng tingin. “So, are you judging me by my nationality?”
Kumunot ang noo ko at gustong-gusto ko na pingutin ang tainga niya sa mga sinasabi niya. “I told you, your accent hinted me about your nationality.”
