Errors Ahead
Unexpected Call
Lumipas lamang ang aking eighteenth birthday pero hindi nako nagabala pang magpaparty. Mas ginusto ko pang pumunta ng ibang bansa kahit pa gusto sana ni papa na magparty kami. Tyaka we are about to enter college, naging abala kami for the upcoming defense and were really working hard para walang manahanap na loopholes or anything na poproblemahin namin sa defence.
Naka upo kami sa usual spot namin ni Pennie habang nag papahinga matapos ang mahabang pagdidiskusyon ng aming kaniya kaniyang research group. Kyle's not with us because he has some school works to finish daw and he needs to go sa library with his friends. In fairness ah naka abot kami ng apat na buwan sa daming beses kong malapit subukang makipag split sa kaniya. I just couldn't bring myself to do that, I don't want to hurt him.
Sa loob din ng apat na buwang iyon naging maayos kami. I love it how calm I am kapag magkasama kami. At the same time, I hate it because Cassius has been in my dreams continuously eh wala nga kaming ni isang interaction. Feeling ko pinag lalaruan lang ako ng isip ko, trying to mess with my life again. Ang totoong kontrabida sa love life ko ay ang sarili ko, ang malas lang!
Nang makabalik sa classroom para sa huling subject focused na focused kaming lahat sa pakikinig sa guro habang nag babasa ito ng poem na "My Blue Hen" by Ann Grey. Panay tango ako kahit sumasakit na ang ulo sa dami ng metaphors. I like poetry and other literature pero hindi ako matalino pagdating dito. Just before the last class ended she gave as homework to write what we think about the poem for today. How cruel could this life be? Char ang drama naman, I wish ate Andra's not busy with anything today dahil siya lamang ang maasahan ko.
Pagkauwi sa bahay ang una kong ginawa imbes na mag bihis ay hinanp si ate Andra para magpatulong na sa homework, I can't believe this, I'm entering college and until now I still need help form ate Andra and to think I'm the studnet with the highest average in our class. I found her playing tekken with kuya Devin sa room niya habang nakaupo sa may sahig at nakasandal sa kama.
"Ate can you help me with homework? It's poetry." Pasok ko sa kwarto niya.
"What poem?" tanong niya habang nakatuon padin ang pansin sa screen ng TV.
"My Blue Hen by Ann Grey." Mabilis akong sumagot.
"It's about sadness, losing someone you love. From the line last line where she said, you were a high note, a summer lightning storm of a man."
Wow she's amazing she even know the line.
"The high note means the lover was something remarkable and unique, then the summer lightning storm means the lover just passed by then gone."
Her eyes were still laser focused on the screen habang nag papaliwanag tungkol sa tula. When at last she won form kuya she turned to me and asked, "Kuha mo lahat?" Tumango ako at nag paalam na para gawin ang homework.
Dali dali kong natapos ang lahat para makapag relax na, tomorrow's saturday and Kyle and I have a date so I need myself in best condition. Maligayang sinalubong ang aking kama at matutulog na sana nang tumunog ang cellphone ko.
From Cassius:
Woi Kamusta na pre?
I was surprised na nag paramdam pa ang taong ito.
Me:
Ays lang, ikaw?
I sent immediately.
Cassius:
Goods, oks lang din. Nasa restaurant bar ako ngayon kasama mga pinsan ko.
He then sent a photo ng lamesa na puros bote ng alak.
Me:
Magingat ah, mag dahan dahan din sa alak may sakit ka baka nakakalimutan mo.
Hindi nako magpapaligoy ligoy pa, nagulo nanaman ang aking Sistema mismong unang text niya palang. Hindi ko mapigilang maging caring sa kaniya.
Cassius:
Kamusta naman kayo ni Kyle?
Why ask? It's not really his thing and for the record he does not care about me at all.
Me:
We're happy, you know he's sweet and he treats me right. Kyle is great. I'm so happy to have him, he made those feelings for you fade.
I don't know why I had to say that but my stupid ass did it, dinagdagan ko nanaman ang kasinuwalingan ko. Bumuntong hininga ako matapos isend ang message. My heart is beating fast and I can't help it, I wonder if he knows about how crazy I am for him.
Matapos non, naghintay ako ng reply for two hours and there was none. Such a Cassius move. Samantalang ako naman ambilis mag reply matapos ang ilang oras o araw na para bang naghihintay ako sa kaniyang message.
Sa gitna ng mahimbing kong pagtulog malakas na kumuringring ang aking telepono. Kinapa kapa ko muna ito dahil sa dilim at kakaunting nakapikit ang mata. Madaling araw na ah bat may tumatawag pa sa akin! Hindi tinitingnan ang telepono sinagot ko ang tawag at itinapat ito sa tenga ko.
"Hello." I lazily answered at ang mga mata ay nakapikit padin.
"Lala." It was Cassius' hoarse voice that woke me up.
"Isla." Tawag niya muli.
"Serene." dagdag niya nang di ako kumibo.
I stayed silent and didn't answer. I just wanted to listen to his voice that I longed for.
"I love you." saglit na huminto ako sa paghinga at ibinaba naman ni Cassius ang tawag.
That damn guy! Madaling araw na tyaka pa siya tatawag! At anong sasabihin niya? I love you lang! The f*ck who does that?! Magpapakalasing tas mandadamay. Now I was up until morning thinking about what he said, he was drunk and that's what he told me. Also yes were friends and we say I love you to each other but this is different. Another record, we say lab lab not I LOVE YOU! Damn it, how do I sleep? May date pako bukas with my boyfriend, BOYFRIEND.

Nasestress nako sayo Isla ha.
