Oh My Captain

Ball 22

I kept avoiding mom today because she is going nuts introducing me to some random guy her friend's son whoever.

"Seriously, my dear, the bathroom?" Ina said when she open the door, she saw me sitting at the top of the bowl cover.

She leans her left arm on the right part of the door while her eyebrows shotting up as her arms are crossed over her chest.

I sighed wearily. I don't know where to hide anymore because mom would just pulled me and force me to introduce me to someone.

"Just let me hide in here, Ina" I hissed.

"Tita!"

I panic when she suddenly shouted. I stood up and pulled her inside the comfort room and quickly shut the door. I throw her a dagger.

"What the hell! akala ko ba kampi kita o bakit ngayon pinagkakanulo mo na ata ako. Gusto mo bang sabihin ko kina Tita Michelle pinaggagawa mo huh?" nagpupuyos kong sermon sa kaniya.

She laughs at my misery. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin sabay tapik ng braso niya. Nakakainis siya.

"Why don't you date again, She. It's been two years. Maybe, this is the way to bring back your kilig moments. Nowadays, you're really grumpy maybe because you're dry" she advised, chuckling.

I throw her more dagger stares. Sarap sakalin ng babaeng to. Edi siya na ang dilig na dilig.

"Do you mean I still haven't move on him?" I sarcastically chuckle. "FYI, I refuse to date anyone not because I still have hang up with my ex. I am just focus on my career lang" I resorted.

"Whatever you sleeps at night, cousin. It doesn't seem that way to me though and the people around you" giit niya sabay lagpas sa akin at binuksan ang pinto.

"Because I wasn't really!" I frustrated reasoned more.

She shrugged her shoulder and left me still frustrated.

I groan as I ruggedly brush my fingers on my hair. I face the mirror and look at my reflection.

"Nakamove on kana diba?" kausap ko sa sarili ko na dinuduro pa ito. "To hell do I care about them"

Nang maayos na ako nagpasya na akong lumabas ng banyo. I realized I am being a childish brat.

I hold on to the knob and twist it to open. Halos kulang nalang tumalon ang puso ko sa gulat nang biglang may taong bumalanda sa harap ko na akmang bubuksan din ang pinto. I held on to my chest due to shocked.

"Fuck!" I heard him cursed.

Pati siya ay nagulat din.

"my loves?"

My eyes widen in surprise to see a familiar face I never see after graduation. Napalitan ang gulat ng masayang ngiti. He smiled too.

"Jadee!" I exclaimed.

"Ikaw nga my loves! sabi ko na nga ba e makikita ko ang ultimate crush ko!" he teasingly said.

I softly laugh at his statement. He is still the same even his physical quite change a little. Mas naging bulky yung biceps niya dahil kitang-kita sa putok niyang braso. He looks very clean too, not that he is not clean before. Mas naging maaliwas lang ang aura niya ngayon. I am happy to see a friend today.

"Are you going to go inside?" turo ko kung saan ako galing.

Napatampal siya sa noo niya. Kinabigla ko yun dahil ang lakas ng impact ng palad niya sa noo niya.

"Oo nga pala... nadistract kasi ako masyado sa ganda mo my loves!" tatawa-tawa niyang saad.

Napangisi at napailing nalang ako ng ulo sa mga kalokohan niya.
