"Call me that one more time, see what happens."
Mabigat ang beer pero puta siya, itinaas ko pa rin ang mga kamay ko. Praise Viseris the great!
"Fuckshit? You are Viseris, you're a fuckshit. Sa Pilipinas mas malutong pa ang pakshet pero gago hindi mo kasi maiintindihan."
Ganito siya palagi! Palaging ako ang nagsasalita 'pag kami lang ang magkasama. Sumipot ako sa beverly hills noon. Nag-confess siya, inayawan ko. His confession was not just for love, may kaagaw daw siya at sabay silang manliligaw sa akin. Kung pwede lang siyang itulak sa daan noon, wala na siya ngayon.
Napakataas ng tingin niya sa sarili niya pero hindi niya magawang magsalita ng maayos sa personal at kapag ako ang kaharap niya.
Ang gago niya 'pag sa text, ang gago niya 'pag hindi siya dawit sa gulo, at mas gago siya kasi hindi niya pinaalam sa akin ang arrange marriage na ginawa ni Dad.
"When you go outside, aren't you supposed to be walking on four legs?" may mas maitataray pa pala ako putang ina niya, "How does it feel to follow me everywhere I go, dog?""
"Shut your mouth or I shut it for you, Karielis."
"Why? Did you find it offensive?" I smirk, "I was once followed by a man, I never expected to be followed by a dog, like you." Napahalakhak ako nang makita ang pagngiwi niya. "Ah . .That's why you had us meet, because this is how excited you were that day."
"You're drunk as fuck," he replied casually, his hands in his pockets.
"I haven't even sipped any of this yet; it's for you, Viseris, because you said you were too sober for me. Drink it now." The irony in my voice is obvious, but fuck him for behaving as if I'm nothing.
"Get inside the car, Karielis," he says.
"I'm not a dog like you," pabaligtad kong sagot.
"I'm asking nicely; go ahead, or else I'll carry you into my house."
Pagkabukas ko ng pinto ay pinaandar ko agad ang kotse. Aalis na ako. Mukhang lumagpas ako sa linya. I can't take it if he gets angry. I know he's mad at me, and I know how disgusting he is when he's angry.
"Are you really gonna leave without asking me the question you've been dying to ask me?" sumilip siya bintana.
Ni-lock ko agad ang mga pinto para hindi na siya makapasok.
I thought I might provoke him even more, but instead I was triggered. After learning what happened in college, I can't look at him the same way I used to. And I didn't intend to remain for long because they would notice my absence. Too quickly, I'm scared Ves will come out of the camper van and find me.
Nakalimutan kong si Viseris pala ang makaka-usap ko not just another man who knows nothing about perseverance.
"I'm just going to give you this beer and call you instead." inabot ko agad ang iba pang kasama ng beer na nasa back seat.
"What is your question?" When Priel was mentioned, I began to notice a slight shift in his expressions.
I turned down the air conditioner since it was getting too cold.
"Open the door on the other side," he commanded.
I hate myself when I'm unwilling to say no.
Balak ko sanang patayin 'yung ilaw baka may mga press sa gilid pero baka kung anong gawin sa sa akin ni Vis. Galit pa rin siya. May galit pa rin siya sa akin.
"Ask questions." he immediately said when he sat down.
"Did Priel quit?" of course, I know. We met a few hours before I drove here.
