Stumble and Fall (AlyDen)

Chapter 10

After 13 hours of travel. Alyssa and Dennise reached their destination. Alyssa tried to make some conversation with Dennise pero nag aalanganin siya.

"Uh...Dennise? I'm sor--" Alyssa was about to say sorry but Dennise sever her.

"Alyssa, cr lang ako. Antayin mo nalang ako sa arrival area." Cold na sabi ni Dennise at tinalikuran na niya si Alyssa.

Nagpunta na si Alyssa sa arrival area at palinga linga ito. Hinahanap niya sila Kim at Ara.

Hindi rin nag tagal ay nakita nito ang mga kaibigan niyang may hawak na malaking tarpaulin na punong puno ng palamuti at may nakasulat na "Welcome back Pareng Alyssa!"

"Huy Dude!!! Alyssa! Namiss ka namin!" Sigaw nila Ara at Kim. Dali dali nilang nilapitan si Alyssa at binigyan ng isang mahigpit na yakap.

"Nagustohan mo ba 'tong ginawa naming banner para sayo dude? Idea ko yan. haha dahil dyan, dapat may pasalubong ako...este kami. hihihi" Dugtong ni ara. Muntik na siyang binatukan ni Kim dahil sa sinabi niya.

"I supposed kay pareng Rex galing yang idea, hindi sayo Ara. Haha I miss you too guys! Ay oo. Buti nabanggit mo Ara. May pasalubong ako sainyo." Nakangiting sabi ni Alyssa sa dalawa.

"Wow. Talaga? Sabi sayo Kim eh, hindi niya tayo makakalimutan. Mahal mo talaga kami Alyssa. Asan na yung pasalubong?" Atat na tanong ni Ara at nag aabang na.

"Syempre hindi ko kayo makakalimutan. Mahal na mahal ko kayo eh. Eto pasalubong niyo." Binigyan ni Alyssa ng tig isang batok ang dalawa.

"Aray naman! Sinusundo kana nga nananakit ka pa. Tara na nga Ara. Iwan na natin 'to. Maghanap ka ng masasakyan mo." Tampo ni Kim at kunwaring aalis naman sila ni Ara.

"Uy sorry na. Kayo kase eh. Akala niyo ba nakalimutan ko na yung pagkakalat niyo sa apartment ko ha! Tinakasan niyo ako nun! Naiwan mo pa ung underwear mo Ara, nakakalat sa living room. Nakita pa ng bisita ko. Kadiri." Natatawang sabi ni Alyssa. Ara blushed in embarrassment. Natawa rin si Kim dahil sa itsura ni Ara.

"Ew! Kadiri ka Ara. Bakit mo naman maiiwan yun?Ibig sabihin nun, all the time wala kang undies nung magkakasama tayo?! Yuck Ara!" Kim said. Kunware nasusuka suka naman siya.

"Shit! May nakakita?! Nakakahiya! Alyssa dapat itinago mo! ( Pagmamaktol niya) ikaw kim ang arte mo, para ako lang ung ganon ah? Ikaw kaya madalas. Saka tigilan niyo nga ako. FO na tayo sige! (Ara pouts her lips then crossed her arms on her chest) I was drunk that night okay. Malay ko bang maiiwan yung underwear ko. I'm still wearing my boxer and shorts nun kaya there's no big deal. Asan na nga pala yung sinasabi mong kasama mo?" Ara ask. Naalala naman bigla ni Alyssa si Dennise.

"Ah. Nasa loob pa, nag cr lang saglit. Ay si pareng Rex na kasing pogi ko asan?" Nagbibirong sagot ni Alyssa. Napasimangot naman ang dalawa.

"Oy oy oy! pogi rin kami ha. Mas lamang nga lang sayo. haha Si pareng Rex? Ayun, pinuntahan si Madam Therese. Pinopormahan ulit. Dami kasing umaaligid eh. Alam mo naman yun. Hindi pa sinasagot pero todo bantay na." Ara giggled while saying it to her friends.

"Ganun talaga yun Ara. If you let your guard down, maagawan ka. Ang mundo ay parang Quiapo. Masikip, maraming tao, maagawan ka! Therese is a Goddess. Tanga na ang magpapakawala dun. Kung hindi lang type ni Rex yun baka pinormahan ko na. Buti nalang talaga at may Maria Carmela Tunay na ako." Kim quoted and smirk at Ara.

"Sus. Kunware ka pa Kim. Akala mo hindi ko alam na crush mo si Therese ah. Sumbong kita kay pareng Rex." Biro ni Ara kay Kim.

"Shut up Ara. Noon ko lang siya crush. I have Mela and I'm contented with her. So stop saying those words." Kim glared at Ara to shut up. Ara did what Kim said. She raised her two hands for surrender.

"Wait lang mga dude. Dito muna kayo. Pupuntahan ko muna yung kasama ko. Ang tagal eh. Antayin niyo nalang ako dito." Alyssa said then left her friends.

Tumabi muna sa isang tabi sila Kim at Ara. Habang si Alyssa naman ay pumasok na sa loob at pinuntahan si Dennise.

On the other hand, kasalukuyang nakaharap si Dennise sa salamin at nakapikit.

"Bwisit na Alyssa na yan. Hindi manlang mag sorry." Dennise said to herself remembering what happened last night habang nag reretouch ng powder sa mukha, sinuklay rin neto ang kanyang buhok at nag lagay ng kaunting lip gloss.

Dennise was finished fixing herself and she was ready to go. Palabas na siya ng arrival area when she bump into someone. Nahulog ang mga gamit ng nakabanggaan ni Dennise. Even its Iphone 6+.

"Oh shit! My phone!" Sigaw ng lalake habang nakatingin sa Iphone niya. He can't believe it. Kakabili niya lang ito last month sa UK and now it has a crack on the screen.

Yumuko ang binata at pinulot yung phone niya. He check it to see if it still works even though it has a crack on the screen. He felt relieved when he saw it work.

"Thank God!" The guy said then let out a sigh.

"Gosh! I ain't gonna pay for that. It's your fault anyway! You bump into me first. Hindi ka kase tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo. May mata ka naman oh. Gamitin mo naman. Tsk." Pagtataray ni Dennise but when she had a look on the guy's face, nawala ang taray nito.

"Oh my gosh! Is this true? Is he my prince charming?!" Napatunganga nalang si Dennise dahil sa paghanga sa binata.

He has those chinito brown eyes. White porcelain skin. Pointed nose and black shiny hair with a light blonde on his bangs.

"What?! Are you saying it's my fault? Great! Just great! I'm the one who's standing here peacefully when someone bump into me. Can you explain it to huh? You need to pay for this. I just got this from last month...okay ganito nalang, sabihin mong you're sorry then I'll forgive you. I want it to be like this I'm so sorry. I didn't saw you standing. I should've used my eyes, I'm really sorry." The guy said in a sarcastic tone, he's a little bit frustrated seeing the crack on the screen of his Iphone.

"Okay okay. Chill. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't really saw you walking towards me, I mean I didn't saw you standing there peacefully. I SHOUL'VE LOOK AHEAD. SORRY. Now, you happy? (Bawat salitang sinabi niya ay may diin. Dennise micmic the guy's voice and wiggled her eyebrows that make the guy giggled) But still, I ain't gonna pay that phone of yours." Dennise said fiercely.

"Kahit ba pogi yung guy kelangan ko parin magpakipot no at saka wala akong pera para mapalitan yung Iphone niya. I don't even have a job. Putol pa lahat ng credit cards ko. Argh! Sana wag na niyang ipabayad." Dennise thought.

Dennise is not a licensed Doctor yet but she's planning to take the licensure exam. Her parents still supports her on everything but it paid off when she ran away from Luis.

"Well then, I forgive you. Saying sorry is enough for me. You don't need to pay it. A sorry will do." The guy said and unexpectedly, Dennise flash a smile to him.

"Really?! Thank you!" Masayang sabi ni Dennise.

He got froze in that very moment when their eyes met. He saw the latter's dazzling hazel brown eyes.
