Chapter 53-3. Sef... FOR SALE?!

Eleonor Malicsi Dimaculangan

‘Di ba lahat naman siguro ng babae merong ideal man na tinatawag? Merong mga requirements na hinahanap bago talaga masabing, “Siya na! Siya na talaga!” Yung iba pa nga, sa sobrang pihikan andiyan na nga inaayawan pa. Kung baga standards na dapat ipasa. Dapat ganito, dapat ganyan, dapat merong ganito, dapat hindi ganun… and the list could go on. Pero minsan, may mga pagkakataon na bigla mo na lang mapapasigaw sa sarili mo na SIYA NA despite the cruel fact that he doesn’t have any of the qualities you’ve set all along.

I wasn’t joking when I told you guys that I am satisfied with a guy having three extra monstrous noses placed atop each other or two humungous ears or whatever, as long as he could feed me FIVE times a day, knows how to laugh with my gibberish jokes & surely appreciates John Lloyd Cruz… then I guess I’m fine with him. Pwedeng-pwede ko na siyang pakasalan. Hindi ako demanding, hindi din ako choosy, sa katunayan nga simpleng lalaki lang ang hinahanap ko… tipong mapupulot ko lang sa tabi-tabi. Kasi tulad nga ng sabi ni Lloydie noong nag guest siya sa Sarah G. Live, “You don’t choose love, love chooses you…” Pero parang nakikipag-biruan sakin si Kupido… akalain niyong… ang binigay sakin eh halos malayong-malayo sa SIMPLENG lalaking pinapangarap ko. Oh, he’s beyond SIMPLE. He’s actually the twin brother of COMPLICATED and his name, if you spell it backwards, is spelled with capital HEARTACHE. He is overconfident, annoying… at higit sa lahat, he has that… attractive SMILE that I personally HATE the most!!

I watched with my heart constantly drumming against my chest as Miguel Josef Uy Monteverde gave me a charming yet triumphant smile while placing the two boxes of pizza from Yellow Cab on our dining table. Obviously PAGKAIN ang dahilan kung bakit siya umalis at kung bakit din siya bumalik. Akala ko pa naman kanina dahil sakin. Haha. ‘Choserang froglet lang pala ako. Hahahaha. Tinulungan siya nila Eddy at Em-Em sa pagbubuhat nung iba pa niyang biniling merienda – two bottles of diet coke (kasi alam niyang diabetic si mama), one gallon of Selecta ice cream (yung Double Dutch na favorite ni Em) at seven order of spaghetti (still care of Yellow Cab).

Kung si Sef eh nakangiti sa akin, I simply retorted back at him with a suspicious frown!!! Okay. I have to admit, nakaramdam ulit ako ng gutom nung nakita ko yung mga dala niyang pagkain. Dios mio, ikumpara naman daw ang labing-dalwang pirasong fishbol na kinain ko kanina diba? Haha. Pero kasi… I’m not too psyched about the fact na gumastos siya ng bongga para lang pameriendahin ang pamilya ko. THIS IS ILLEGAL!!! Based on the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, this would surely fall under BRIBERY!!! Haha. Feeling abogada Ellie? At feeling mo binibili ni Sef ang kalooban ng pamilya mo para lang mapasagot ka??? Anakshuta kang babae ka!!! Hahaha. Bakit ka naiinis??? KASI EFFECTIVE NUH?!?! AMP!!!

Eh kasi naman, ayokong idamay pa ni Sef sa mga biro niya ang pamilya ko. Ayokong masanay sila, ayokong maya-maya eh hahanapin nila Em at Ed ang “Kuya Sef” nila sakin nuh!!! Ayos na sa akin na ako na lang ang gawin niyang biktima!

“Ikaw naman Kuya Sef,” Em-Em giggled while filling her glass with another scoop of ice cream. “Binibiro ka lang naman namin eh… sineryoso mo talaga ang pag-bili ng merienda ah!”

“Ibig sabihin… ganun talaga kaseryoso si Kuya Sef sa sinabi niya kanina!” Eddy answered, smiling still. “Diba nuh, Kuya? Oh, teka dito ka na umupo Kuya Sef!” He gave a teasing look at Sef as he stood up & offered the seat next to me. “Para naman sulit yung pagpapa-merienda mo samin! Haha.” At hindi pa nakuntento ang kapatid ko, he even pulled the chair para mas malapit sakin. Ngumiti si Sef and took the seat without protest… POOOOOOOTEK!!! Mas lalo kong naramdaman na nag-init ang mga pisngi ko and that my chest suddenly felt a bit odd, parang hindi ako makahinga ng maayos!!! ANIMALESSSSSSS!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Lord, please… HELP ME!!! Tuloy-tuloy ang pamilya ko sa pakikipag-kwentuhan, sa pakikipag-biruan at pakikipag-tawanan. I, on the other hand, was like a statue made completely out of STONE. I was utterly silent & uncomfortable on my seat knowing that THIS GUY was sitting next to me and that he seemed at ease while conversing with my family. And what’s worse??? NAWALA YUNG MOOD KONG KUMAIN!!! Pakerrrr!!! Anong nangyayari sayo Elyonor??? Naputol ba dila mo?!?! SHEEEEET!!! I’m being WEIRD again aren’t I???
