I Hate U, I Love U

10. Selos

It's still too early at dahil parehas kaming walang tulog, We've decided to stay for a bit to have enough rest, especially Kit because he needs to drive.

Pagbalik namin sa loob ng kanilang bahay ay nabungaran namin ang ilan sa kanilang mga kasama sa bahay doing their respective chores, ang iba ay mukhang nagulat pa sa kanilang nakita pero binati lang sila ni Kit at iginiya na nya ako paakyat ng bahay papunta sa isang kwarto.

"This is my room here, dito ka na lang mag stay and if you need anything I will just be opposite this room."

"That door adorned with all the pink in the world that belongs to Mitch?" I tried to suppress my laughter, at mukhang ganun din sya.

"Yep, that room. Natakot si Mom maging tomboy si Mitch noon, kaya she did all she can para ipaalala sakanya na babae sya. Nakakatuwa na hanggang ngayun our rooms are still the same as before. By the way, wait for me here, I'll just get some things for you to use para komportable ka naman."

Lumabas na sya ng kwarto nya. I looked around and the room is very Kit. Simple and clean and it screams his love for music. He has this collection of guitars neatly arranged on one side of his room, I wonder kung nagagamit o nagamit nya ba ang lahat ng mga ito o for display purposes only.

Para akong batang namamangha sa laki ng kwarto nya, who was put in the middle and contemplating where to look ng may marinig akong katok sa pinto. I went to the door to open it and it was Kit. 

"Funny how you are knocking at your door."

"Of course, you're here and I respect your privacy. It doesn't matter if this is my room." sabi nya, I was touched. 

"By the way,  here. Those are new pairs of PJs, sabi ni manang hindi pa daw yan nagagamit ni Mitch, she just bought it upon coming here pero never pa nya nasusuot along with other sets of clothes. And also, I just get these toiletries from her room, I don't know if this was your brand..." mukhang nag aalinlangan sya ibigay sa akin yung toiletries kaya inagaw ko na.

"No worries, walang problema sa akin. I can use anything, hindi naman sensitive yung balat ko. Salamat ha."

"Great, sige maiwan na kita para makapag pahinga ka na din. Just call or text me if you need anything." nang maka alis sya ay agad naman akong pumasok sa banyo ng kwarto nya to do my thing at bumabagsak na ang talukap ng mga mata ko by just looking at the bed in front of me.

 Hindi ko alam kung gaano na ako katagal nakatulog, but I found myself awoken by the non stop vibration of my cellphone. I answered it seeing it is Jonathan calling.

"Bakla ka! Kung hindi mo pa ito sinagot ready na akong i-report kang missing sa mga pulis. FYI, andito na ako ngayun sa harap ng presinto dito sa lugar nyo!" napatingin ako sa oras, past 12pm na pala. Valid reason para sumigaw sya sa kabilang linya.

"As in? Alam mo naman kung nasan ako diba?" 

"As in! Oo alam ko pero malay ko ba kung may masama ng nagawa yang red flag na yan sayo kasi ni ha ni ho wala na akong na receive sayo after nung sinabi mong mag uusap kayo."

"Sorry, nawala na sa isip ko. Sobrang daming nangyari..." at sa dami hindi ko alam kung ano at paano sasabihin ang mga ito.

"Bago ang lahat, nasan ka ba ngayun?"

"Sa bahay nila."

"Wow. Meet the parents na ba ito?" sarcastic nyang tanong.

"Sabi nya gusto nya ako." there I said it. 

"Anong sabi mo? I expect a walkout, Bakla ha... oh wait, you're in their house means hindi ka nag walk out. So what did you say, then?"

"I hugged him." a long pause, but I braced myself for his rant once mahimasmasan sya.
