A Step To Farewell {Mini Series}

Chapter 2

*****

"Aba bakla bilis bilisan mo d'yan. TomGuts na TomGuts na 'ko" sabi ni Angge at sinipa ako sa p'wetan 'ko

"Edi kumain ka na, problema ba 'yun?" I told her sabay sipa, hindi 'ko alam kung ano 'yung nasipa 'ko dahil hindi naman ako nakatingin. Ang alam 'ko lang parang nanigas ang paa 'ko dahil sa lakas ng force na balik sa'kin. "AWW! PUSA~!" I screamed in pain and then suddenly I heard Angge's laughter in her voice.

"HAHAHA ang duling duling mo naman. Belat."She even stucked her tongue out. Putik --- ipaalala n'yo nga sa'kin na gagantihan 'ko si Angge pagkatapos 'ko dito.

"Bleep you Angge. Hindi ka mananahimik?" bwisit na bwisit kong sabi.

"Bleep? Pftt. HAHAHA Kasalanan 'ko bang duling ka pala? HAHAHA" I try to compose myself. Inhale. Exhale. Breath in. Breath o---.

"Duling ka na nga. Shunga ka pa. Aba magtira ka naman. HAHAHA" --- pero tangna lang gera na 'to.

I was ready to come out under the sink and ready to give Angge a big punce on her face, then suddenly I heard a guy's voice. A masculine voice. Too masculine in fact that I almost came out to my senses.

"Yaya Star!" Oh, gosh who owns that voice?

"Angge sino 'yun?"

"Aba,malay 'ko magkasama tayo ditto pano ko naman malalaman kung sino 'yon malay mo si San Pedro at handing sunduin ka."

"Bakit ako? Hindi naman pangalan 'ko ang isinisigaw at ang gwapo naman ng boses ni San Pedro kung ganon."

"Oh, My Gosh. Don't tell me may boyfriend na si Yaya Star?"

"Malay." Nasabi ko na lang.

"Yaya Star where are you?" then out of the script may lumabas na babaeng nag-ngangalang Star sa screen door sa likod ng kusina.

"Nandito ako sa kusina!" Yaya Star yelled back. Nilapag n'ya ang isang basket na naglalaman ng napakaraming damit na nakatiklop na. How do I know? Simply dahil nakasilip ako at kitang-kita ko mula ditto ang nangyaari pero hindi lahat limited lang.

"There you are." This time mas malapit na 'yung boses. Too near I think almost a few steps away? I guess.

"O, ang aga mo 'atang umuwi. Wala ka bang trabaho?"Yaya Star asked as soon as nakalapit na 'yung lalaki sa kan'ya.

Kahit na anong pilit kong Makita 'yung mukha ng lalaki hindi ko magawa dahil first of all mas'yado s'yang matangkad at isa pa hindi ako maka all-aroung dahil masikiplang sa pwesto ko so nagkas'ya na 'ko sa pagsilip ng leeg n'ya.

"Meron pa po. But I can always do that later. Remember you called me earlier telling me na may butas 'yung hose ng lababo. I already called Frank just after you called me. But sadly enough out of town pala s'ya so baka hindi daw n'ya maayos. Baka bukas pa'ata balik n'ya, but he promised me na he will fi it as soon as nakauwi na s'ya. So fro now ako nalang muna ang mag-aayos." He explained.

"Frank? 'Yung doctor?" Yaya Star asked.

"Yes, Frank"

"Ay, teka doctor tapos pag-aayusin n'yo ng lababo? So ano 'yon ooperahin n'ya 'tong lababo n'yo? Surgery lang ang peg. Ganon?"dahil likas na tsismosa at madaldal si Angge nakisali s'ya sa usapan ng dalawa.

"Yes, Frank is a doctor but when we we're still in college he used to be a plumber to uplift his studies. You know he doesn't came up from a wealth family his mother used to be a saleswomen and his father was a mechanist himself" paliwanag ni Jansen and all I hear came from Angge was a big "OW!" Anoka tameme ka ngayon? sabat pa kasi eh.
