SINGKO: WASTED
_________ ✧ _________
Mika must have laughed at me right now. Tuwang-tuwa na siguro siya dahil miserable na ako ngayon. I hate you, Mika! Wish, I never had a friend like you.
"Miss? Okay ka lang?" naririnig kong tanong ng isang lalaki dito sa bar habang patuloy ako sa paglalaklak ng beer.
"Ryle? Is that you?" bigla akong napatingin rito.
"Miss, lasing ka lang yata. I'm not Ryle, nasobrahan ka lang sa beer. You really look so wasted. Ipapahatid na lang kita sa taxi."
"H-hindi ikaw si Ryle, lumayo ka!" pilit kong tulak sa lalaking kausap ko ngayon.
I feel dizzy all of the sudden as if my vision went blurry. Matutumba na sana ako pero napansin ko ang kamay niya na humahawak sa balikat ko kaya nakatayo pa rin ako.
"Bitiwan mo nga ako! Hindi kita kilala, go away!"
"Miss, I am just trying to help you! Well, if ayaw mo, then iwanan na lang kita sa labas ng bar." Sambit niya sa mahinang tono ng boses.
Akma na sana akong magsalita pero natigil ako nang bigla akong napasuka sa gilig ng mesa.
"I really hate you, Mika. This is all your fault!" sigaw ko sa lalaking kaharap ko ngayon habang tumutulo ang sariling luha.
"Hey, it's okay. Fixed yourself, ipapahatid na lang kita sa taxi." Pagbuntonghininga niya lamang.
I just nodded.
Habang naghihintay sa labas ng bar, napaupo muna kami sa bandang gilid ng lugar, madilim kaya hindi ko masyadong makita ang mukha niya.
This man witnessed how wasted I am right now but he seemed nice and kind.
I tried staring at his gaze, but when he turned to mine, ibinaling ko na lang ang tingin ko sa kalsada.
"I see you're broken right now. A piece of advice, don't get wasted. Don't waste your time on a person who don't appreciate your existence."
Right before when he left me in the taxi, he showed me his sweetest smile. The smile that I never had before.
"Thank you."
