I LOVE MY ARABO, YES I DO

Chapter 20

**ABDHUL JHAKUL'S POV***

"Son, we have to go!" Thats my Father. Staying here in our 3 story house is so boring. Ahhh shitt. My life is only evolving on business and I'm fucking exhausted with this bullshit.

"Umalis ka on your own!," I answer kahit hirap pa akong magtagalog. I want a rest away from my dad.

"Aj, you're here to help me in our business so c'mmon get up!" He strongly mandated but who the hell he scares? Sobrang ingay. I want to sleep the whole day with no worries and problem to face of.

"Ugh fuck!" I exclaimed. I hate him he made my life really misserable.

"Anak! Maiintindihan mo rin kung bakit kailangan natin 'tong gawin. It's for your future," His speaking tagalog because I understand and know how to speak tagalog naman. You might asking why I always speak in english in fact I'm an Arabo. I dont speak Arabic because I was only born in Saudi Arabia and lived in USA for almost 14 years and stayed in the Philippines for almost 4 years and minsan lang ako pumupunta sa lugar kung saan ako ipinanganak  just for a vacation. I don't know why my parents doesn't want to stay there. They are all weird.

"Okay fine wag ka na sumama," yes! Salamat naman at hindi mo na ako pinilit.

"But in one condition, tomorrow you'll accompanying me to welcome our business partners, " he added.

" Tss" I stand up and went directly to my comfort room. I plan to visit some  places near our villages at sana wala nang maingay na tao ang sisira sa araw ko.

Nandito na ako sa labas nang village and in my shock may school pala dito. Wow mgayon ko lang napansin.

"Silento National High School," I whisper. Maybe it's a low class school compared to my school before. I saw a store selling an ice cream and it gets my attention.

"Pampalamig ng ulo," I went towards the store at pinagmasadan lahat ng flavor na nasa loob ng cooler. Wowww my favorite! Tsss I'm acting like a child now geezz.

"Bijesssssssssss bili tayo ng ice cream," dinig ko sa 'di kalayuan. arghh I hate noise. Bakit ba sila nagsisigawan? No manners. Binalik ko ang aking paningin sa ice cream na may flavor na oreo. Shitttt!

"Ice cream, ice cream," sabay sabay nilang sabi. Lumingon ako and I saw two girls running towards me while shouting icecream. Shittt I want to stop them but I think I dont have the rights to do so.

I grab an ice cream and laking gulat ko no'ng hawak din ito ng babae. Ako ang nauna dito so sa akin ang ice cream na 'to. Ito nalang ang natitirang ice cream na gusto ko ang flavor.

"It's mine!" I coldly uttered.

"Kuya ako nauna!" She said sabay pout. Wait ito 'yong babaeng maingay. How dare her to call me kuya in fact she looks older than me. 19 palang ako and tinawag akong kuya?

"Get another miss there's a lot of flavor left pa naman," I answered. I look at her and I'm so mesmerized with her beauty. Shittt kailan pa ako nagagandahan ng mga babae? The strand of her hair looks so healthy. Her pouty lips and beautiful eyes made her so amazing.

"No way it's mine!" Tinapik niya ang kamay ko kaya nabitawan ko ito. I'm stuck like a statue staring at her. Kahit nabitawan ko na ang ice crem I can't still talk and utter any words.

"Look it's on my hand already so it's mine sweetie," sabi niya and then he wink at me at naglakad papunta sa counter.

"Ate bibilhin ko na 'to huh, akin to. Pakibilisan ate baka makuha pa ni kuya," bulong niya sa tindera and in my mind I laugh slightly. Damn this girl parang bata kung umasta.

"Tss" it's the first word na lumabas simula no'ng natameme ako.

"Kuya sorry ah may pinagdadaanan lang 'yong kaibigan ko. Kakabreak lang kasi nila ng jowa niya kaya pagbigyan mo na," sabi ng kasama niya  na maingay din.

"I don't care," sagot ko. Argh I hate her. I hate girls, they are just burden to the man's life.

"Tanggalin mo nga 'yang mask mo kuya," sabi nitong babae. Demanding wow. I felt so annoy sa pagtawag nila ng kuya sa akin. Do I look so old?

"Stop calling me kuya okay!"

"Facebook account mo bilis, bigay kita sa kaibigan ko," she said. As in wow.

"No way!" I answer. They are stranger and I'm not dumb to trust her baka scammer sila.

"Kung ayaw mo sisigaw ako dito."

"Shout then,"  I answer. Who the hell care?

"Sisigaw ako na nang tulong magnanakaw," she said while pointing at me. Fuck! Ano raw? Well, they obviously taken away my peace of mind at ako pa ang magnanakaw?

"Isa, dalawa, sisigaw na ako." She added

"Stop okay." I get my phone and pinakita sa kanya ang Facebook name ko.

"Thank you kuya," she said and then she laugh? What's funny about my name? I am giving her my dummy account so that she can't invade ny personal life.  Well I don't used media naman always so no problem.

"Arghhhh!" I grab some ice cream with a chocolate flavor. Ayan tuloy lalong uminit ang ulo ko.

"I should go home, my plan for a rest perfectly failed!"

"Bakit nakasimangot ka?" Tanong ni daddy no'ng ako'y nakauwi. They ruined my day.

"It's none of your business Dad," sagot ko sa kanya. Bumalik ako sa room at natulog.

*******************

Thats how I meet the girl I love now but today I'm watching her hugging someone else she thought I am. My tears fell down, my heart breaks.

"Lance stop acting na. Stop pretending na wala tayong  naging communication." I chuckled. Nakabukas nang kaunti ang pinto kaya naririnig ko silang dalawa.

"Steph----"  tawag ni Lance. He must tell her the truth before my effort will go wasted.

"Abdhul Jhakul I love you," she said. I love you Stephanie I really do but  you love me by my name not by my soul.

"I know ikaw siya.  Simula palang nung tayo ay nagkita naramdaman  ko nang iisa lang kayo. I thank you for giving me happiness, I thank you for giving me your shoulder to cry on, I love you," she added. Hindi siya ako and it will never gonna happen. Nandito ako Steph! I'm still wishing Lance will do something para 'di masira ang plano ko.

"Steph----" tawag ulit ni Lance. Siya ang inutusan ko para bantayan si Stephanie pero parang mali ata na sa kanya ko ito pinagawa. Naglakad lakad ako ng may nakita akong nurse kaya 'di ko na narinig ang sumunod nilang usapan.

Nang maka- alis ang nurse sumilip ako sa kwarto and I saw Stephanie sleeping already kaya pumasok ko. And when I entered the room I am completely lost my mind.

"Don't move!" I saw them again hugging each other. Steph is sleeping now--- with his arm. I want to hug her, gusto ko sa bisig ko siya matulog pero hindi pwede.

"Your lucky enough kasi ikaw ang nakilala niya. She give the love to you that I want from her." I said it in a very emotional tone. I wipe my tears and I don't care if Lance witnessed me this way.

"Ako sana ang makikilala niya. Ako sana ang kayakap niya ngayon." I added.  I kissed Steph's forehead before I go. I hear nothing from Lance.

"Abdhul---" tinawag pa ako ni Lance pero ayaw ko nang makinig nor makita silang dalawang magkayakap. Ang sakit sakit. I think my heart shattered into pieces. This is not the outcome I am expecting and I'm regretting everything. Bakit siya pa ang nakilala mo? Bakit you assume things fast. Hindi siya ako Steph at sana malaman mo 'yon. If your heart beats for me then it will make way to discover who you truly love.  But for now magpapahinga mo na ako masyado na akong nasaktan.
