"Luch! Gising!"
Inis kong sinipa si Mashi nang magising ako sa pag-alog niya sa akin. Hindi pa siya nakuntento at hinila pa ang kumot ko.
"Luch! Bumangon ka!"
"Fuck off..." I said in a husky voice then pulled the blanket to cover my whole body. Alas tres na ako nakatulog kanina dahil rin sa kaniya tapos ay gigisingin ako nang ganito kaaga? Can't he remember I hate it when someone interrupts my sleep? Suntukin kita diyan. Sinasabi ko sa'yo Mashiho Jung!
"Luch!"
"Ano?!" Sa wakas ay bumangon ako at unang nahagip ng kamay ko ay ang leeg niya na sobrang sarap baliin. Mashi tried to escape from my grip but I did not let him and gave him a deadly stare. "Siguraduhin mong may kwenta ang sasabihin mo. Dahil kung wala, sinasabi ko sa'yo, mawawalan ka ng tutulugan buong semester."
"Nagkakagulo sa quadrangle. Ginigiba ang gym ngayong umaga! Di'ba, nando'n sa gym locker ang mga gamit mo noon sa volleyball?!"
My anger subsided and immediately let Mashi go. Tumakbo ako palabas ng dorm nang hindi nagpapalit ng damit o nagmumog man lang. I run without minding what I really look like. As if I have a reputation to take care!
I don't care about my appearance. What I only care about is my things. I have to get my things from the gym locker! Hindi 'yon pwedeng mawala o mapatapon kung saan lang.
My duffel bag ... the last bag mom gave me. I can't lose that bag!
"Damn it!" I cursed when I personally saw the situation of the university gym.
Almost half of it is already demolished. I can't even get a clear vision of the gym locker. Sobrang gabok at ang dami ring estudyante na nakapalibot kaya hindi ko alam kung saan ako susuot o dadaan.
Just why in the hell was this suddenly demolished without further notice? Or there were notice but I wasn't paying attention at all? Right, when did I even care about the university? Baka gunaw na ang mundo, wala pa rin akong pakialam.
"Fuck, where to go?" I whispered to myself and tried to sneak in. But even before I could, someone stopped me.
The one and only Cadikh Zabel stopped me!
"At anong binabalak mo?" Makahulugang tanong niya sa akin pero hindi ko siya pinansin at itinulak siya.
I am strong, I am always strong because of the gifted body I have plus the gym exercises I did long ago but fuck! He's just too big that I can't even make him budge on his position.
"Fuck off!" Inis na sigaw ko sa kaniya pero pinagtaasan lang niya ako ng kilay at pinigilan gamit ang malalakas niyang braso.
"Anong kukuhanin mo sa loob?"
I stopped. He knew I need something. Pero bakit ko sasabihin sa kaniya? What's his role here? Sino ba siya, e bagong salta lang naman?
"Wala kang pakialam — "
"Meron."
"Wala — damn it! Bitaw nga!"
Tangina. Biglang nanghigit! Ano bang trip ng lalaking 'to? Instructor ba talaga 'to? Bakit ganito umasta? Parang tropa lang.
Pissed off, I tried to snatch my arms from him. Still, he's too strong. Kaya kahit anong pilit kong magpumiglas, wala akong nagawa. Kung pumapatol lang siguro ako sa instructor, kanina pang lumpo 'to.
I may not be that strong compared to him, but I can fight.
Dahil hindi niya ako binitawan, pinabigat ko ang katawan ko para mahirapan siyang hilahin ako. At oo, nahirapan nga siya dahil tiningnan niya ako at pinagtaasan ng kilay. I just gave him a playful smirk.
