I tried to stand on my own. Nahihilo pa rin ako pero determinado na akong umalis doon!

Parang bigla akong nakaramdam ng kung anong pagsusuka lalo na ngayong nakita ko si Harry dito!

I left Harry in the middle but I knew he followed me. I returned to our table and saw that my friends were still not there. Wala rin si Johanna. Kinuha ko nalang ang shoulder bag ko and looked for my phone to text Johan and Jess na uuwi na ako.

"Loreleil," malamig na tinig.

Nanlamig ako pero hindi ko pinahalata 'yon. I tried to manipulate my phone even when it's too hard. Naglilikot ang mga mata ko at mas lalo lang yata akong nahilo.

Me to Johanna:

Couz, I'm going home. Mauuna na ako sainyo.

Me to Jessica:

Mauuna na ako Jess. Take care, please.

Binalik ko ang phone ko sa bag at sinakbit 'yon sa aking balikat. I was about to leave when someone grabbed my arm and I almost closed my eyes.

"Where are you going?" Harry's deep voice.

"Home," I answered briefly and got away from him nang hindi siya tinitignan.

Damn it! Damn it! Shit! Frigging shit!

Kahit nakawala ako ay alam kong sinusundan niya pa rin ako. What the hell does he want?!

Malapit na akong makalabas nang biglang bumaliktad ang sikmura ko. I quickly turned to the left to run to the comfort room and thank God I made it there! I vomited on the toilet! I then heard footsteps behind me while freaking vomitting!

Please, tell me it's not Harry. This is so freaking embarassing!

I vomited for a few more minutes until I felt better. Umayos ako ng tayo at nagpunta sa sink para maglinis kahit nahihilo pa rin. I took my handkerchief and alcohol. While doing that I saw Harry in the mirror. Nasa likuran ko siya.

Pinigilan ko ang pagpikit ng mata ko dahil talagang sumunod pa siya sa akin dito. At napanood niya ang pagsusuka ko!?

"This is women's comfort room..."

"I know."

Mabuti nalang walang tao rito. Tinapos ko nalang ginagawa at sinakbit na ulit ang bag sa balikat. Nilingon ko siya.

"Uuwi na ako."

"Can you even walk properly?"

Tinignan ko siya. Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa.

"I can. I'm still sober."

"Really?" ngumisi siya at nanibago agad ako roon. "You couldn't even look at me properly earlier because you were so drunk."

My heart hurt. Bakit parang...

"Kaya ko na ngayon. Huwag mo nga akong pakialamanan," sabi ko at naglakad na talaga palabas.

Sumunod ulit siya. "I'll take you home. It's dangerous if you go home alone."

"I have my car."

"That's even more dangerous. You're still drunk!"

Nakita ko ulit ang maraming tao sa labas. Ang maingay na musika ay muling nagpa sakit sa ulo ko. I got dizzy again pero kinotrol ko na ang sarili para hindi ipahalata 'yon kay Harry.

"You're still drunk," ulit niya.

"I'm still drunk but I can drive. Why don't you just mind your own business? Bakit ka ba..."
