I woke up and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds. My head hurts. Parang minamartilyo ang sentido ko.
I cannot remember anything after I pass out but I think dinalaw ako ni Cyam sa panaginip ko. She's still the same and I found out tumatanda din ang tao sa after life. Weird. I need to get up pero ang bigat ng katawan ko. Kinapa ko ang phone ko sa bulsa para i-check kung may messages ako. It's 9:42 in the morning and I got loads of notifications from my channel. I tap it but I cannot comprehend since sobrang sakit ng ulo ko kaya pinatay ko din.
A few minutes later, nag-ring ang phone ko. I got no choice but to answer it, I am just praying it's not Mon or Dad.
"Yo, thank you pala kagabi. Ang dami kong natatanggap na inquiries about sa'yo." bati ng nasa kabilang linya. I closed my eyes since parang umiikot na naman ang mundo ko.
"That's good. Did I do something last night?" I asked casually.
"Pre, maganda naman performance mo kaso nalasing ka sa 2 baso ng shembot. Di mo tanda?" tanong nya. Now I figure out that I'm talking to black kid.
"Ahhh curse that drink! I almost meet God last night. Buti hinarangan ako ni Erin." pagsigaw ko out of frustration. Never pa akong nakaranas ng hangover, ngayon pa lang.
"Really now?" sumeryoso bigla ang tono sa kabilang linya. I'm stupid for saying that. Napaka-insensitive.
"Umm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Talk to you later." mabilis na sabi ko at ibinaba ang tawag. Nakakabobo ba yung ininom ko kagabi.
I decided na bumangon at bumaba na. I'm not in the mood to eat pero ayoko din naman masermonan. Thanks God at Sunday ngayon. Nagpasalamat na lang ako kasi di naman ako palasimba.
Bumaba ako at tumambay sa kitchen habang hinihintay ang kape ko.
"Kuya Kit! Were you robbed last night?" sigaw ng isa sa kambal. Ume-echo sa utak ko ang sigaw nya kaya sinamaan ko ng tingin.
"Hey, it's rude not to answer." sabi ulit nya. Kamalas malasan at si Jack pa ang nandito.
"Can you please shut up? My head fucking hurts." sabi ko.
"Why nga?" makulit na tanong nya. Lord, ito na ba yung consequence? Dapat siguro sumama na ako kagabi.
"I got drunk." paliwanag ko para tumigil na sya.
"Aww so weak. You should have drank milk or juice instead." pang-aasar pa nya.
"You know what? Where's Jackson?" tanong ko na lang. Wala akong lakas para patulan sya ngayon.
"Jackson! Kuya Kit is looking for you. He is weak and dying!" sigaw nya.
"Ahh shut up! You're really killing me." pakiusap ko kay Jack na tuwang-tuwa sa situation ko.
Dumating naman si Jackson at sinabit ang headset sa leeg nya. They are 15 this year and both unbearable but Jackson is the lesser evil.
