September Agosto
I stood up from my bed as soon as I heard my alarm clock. I clicked it off as I walked towards the bathroom. I heaved a deep sigh then stared intently at myself in the mirror.
I stared at my eyes then click my tongue when I remembered how I drown when I look at his deep black eyes. My breath hitched just by the memories of it flashed before my eyes.
Those eyes. It's like as if I stared into his soul. The deeper I go, the further I get to see parts of his being. It's making me wants to see more of it. And it's kind of annoying to my part.
Napailing na lang ako sa saka nag simulang mag ayos ng sarili. Wearing a plain civilian clothes, I walked out of my apartment. Not minding the stares I'm getting from my neighbors.
Nadaanan ko pa ang landlady ng tinutuluyan kong apartment. She had this look but I just shrugged it off. Alam kong nagtataka ito kung bakit laging sobra ang ibinabayad ko sa kanya.
I just want to. Masyado na s'yang matanda para magpakahirap pa na maningil sa mga nakatira din dito sa apartment nya na mga iresponsable.
I'm often hearing her voice outside, asking for the others payment for the month. And since I have the thing. I pays her more than I should.
I was about to hop into my motorbike when a familiar one parked in front of me.
Oh... Here's the one who couldn't stand his name.
Well, I understand him.
"Heal." I said as he took off his helmet. Bumaba s'ya sa motor n'ya ata saka nag pameywang sa harap ko. Bumuntong hininga pa ito at saka napailing.
"God, I didn't even know why I'm here." I smirked at the back of my mind when I heard him mumbled.
"Sino kaya s'ya?"
"Infairness, ang pogi n'ya ah."
"Kaano ano kaya s'ya ni Ate Snob? Ang pogi n'ya, crush ko na ata s'ya."
"Hoy, manahimik ka, pag ikaw narinig ni Ember, baka malintikan ka."
"Eh ano naman. Sa tagal na nating nakatira dito. At sa tagal na din nating nakikita 'yang si Ate Snob, wala naman nababalita na may binugbog s'ya. Eh wala nga 'yang pake sa paligid n'ya eh."
"Mukha man s'yang harmless, mag ingat ka pa rin. Bali-balitang galing s'ya sa mayamang pamilya. Kaya wag ka magkakamaling banggain s'ya. Tingnan mo nga oh? Inglesiyera at napakaputi."
"Eh nakausap ko na kaya s'ya dati. Ang ganda ng boses n'ya kaya kahit napaka aloof n'ya, girl crush ko pa rin s'ya. Tapos yung kasama n'ya crush ko rin hihihi."
I didn't mind the whispers we're hearing and just focus on him. "Are you just planning to stand there and stare at me for the whole day?"
He cleared his throat then sigh. "Are you up for this?" He instead reply. I arch a brow at him then cross my arms.
"Can you elaborate?" I teased.
"And can you please stop acting like you forgot everything I've said yesterday?" I chuckle slightly then shook my head.
"You said a lot." He sigh then frown his eyebrows at me. Looking annoyed.
He handed me the other helmet he got on his box so I stared at it then arch a brow at him. "Let's be bad?" I smirked as I heard his statement.
I snatch his helmet then shook my head.
"Are you sure you want me to be that way? You might regret it, Mister." I said nonchalantly then rest my back on my motorbike.
"Are you scared by the fact that I'll see a part of you?" He smirk, giving back the question. But boy, I know better.
"I think it should be, are you afraid of letting me see, more of you? I already seen much."
"Oh fvcking sh*t! September! Fvcking slow down! Damn it! You'll be the death of me!" I chuckle when I heard him yell as he hug me from the back like a fvcking scared cat.
"Are you kidding me, Heal?! As far as I remember, you're really desperate to end your life! Then a seconds after you're here! Clinging your self to me!" I have to yell so we could hear each other. "Don't fvcking touch me there, Dumbo!" I added when he held my waist tighter.
I gripped harder at the handle when I heard a sound of a police car. I looked at the side mirror and saw a bunch of police car tailing us.
"September! They're after us! Faster!" He shouted as he hug me tighter, snaking his arms around my waist. I drove his motorbike faster as I grip it hard. "No! I mean, slow down but don't let them catch us! Oh god! September!"
I shook my head as I heard him panicking.
"Kalma, masyado kang maingay at nerbiyoso."
Mabilis kong tinakbo ang motor sa highway at nilagpasan ang pedestrian lane kahit kaka-green light lang. It's okay, wala namang dumadaan.
Damang dama ko ang hangin na tumatama sa balat ko, at ramdam ko rin ang higpit ng yakap ni Heal lalo na nang makarating kami sa highway na inabutan ng traffic.
Rinig ko ang papalapit na kotse nang pulis habang stranded kami sa gitna ng traffic. I roam my eyes around. Trying to find a way out of this thrilling mess.
"September, sa eskinita!" Sigaw ni Heal at saka may itinuro sa gilid namin. And there I spotted what he's talking about.
I smirk as I drove the motorbike fast towards it.
"Now, this is exciting."
