The Ties that Bind [ON-GOING]

5

I woke up with a heavy head and body pain.

What the fuck just happen?

"Tangina..." ang lutong.

I cussed holding the bridge of my nose. Ito yung ayaw ko eh. Why naman kasi kailangan pang manakit ang ulo pagkatapos magsaya at uminom.

I open my eyes to see where the fuck I am this time.

Fuck! This is not my room nor Kirlstine room!

I shout in my mind. I can't be hysterical at this moment because this is not my place. I need to stay calm which is I'm trying to.

No way this is happening again.

I check the place to see of someone's with me. There's no one around. The place is big. So I catch a big timer. When I came back to the room I saw a small paper in the bedside table. Of course it's a note for me because I am the only one who's here.

'Goodmorning drinker. I already made a breakfast for you before you runaway again. Just to make sure you're full before you disappear. Sorry for not waking you up because I am in hurry.'

- Z

What the?! Ba't ba nag uupdate to di ko naman to kilala! Who's Z anyway?

Ito ang napapala ko sa pag inom tapos pagka umaga di ko na alam asan ako at kung sino ang kasama ko.

I realized something. That's why it felt different because I didn't get laid last night. My head hurt and my back hurts maybe because I overslept? My hips don't feel any pain so it's means my home is safe.

I check the wall clock before going out on this condo unit. It's already pass 12pm. I just survey the unit for a seconds. This unit is actually familiar, parang I saw this once. Maybe it happen in my dream. After that I go out. I walk in the lobby like nothing happen. The staff probably see me wasted last night. Well tapos naman 'yon pwedi na silang nag move on.

Pagkalabas, I check the street where I am. Sadly malayo sa condo unit ko but mas malapit nga lang sa condo unit nang pinsan ko. So this means kung saan ang malapit' yon ang pupuntahan ko. Nagpara nalang ako nang taxi kasi wala naman akong sasakyan.

Pagkadating agad akong nagbayad at bumaba. Mabuti nalang may cash akong dala. Dahil kung wala baka kung saan pa ako nadala nang driver dahil wala akong pambayad. Pagpasok sa condominium building nakasalubong ko ang kuya ko, si kuya levi. My elder brother.

Saan ba 'to pupunta? Ba' t nandito to?

"Hoy! Ba't nandito ka?" I ask curiously. Sabay kaming pumasok sa elavator.

"Ikaw rin naman ha," walang ka buhay buhay.

Inirapan ko nalang. Bahala siya diyan. Nagtatanong ako nang maayos tapos sasagutin ako nang barumbado. Baliw talaga.

When the elavator stop lumabas kaagad ako, nagtaka ako nang lumabas rin siya.

I open Kirlstine door. The door is not lock so it's mean she's here. Pumasok na rin ako agad nang walang pahintulot. Palingon kos likod nakasunod parin kuya ko. Agad naman ito sumalampak sa sala.

"Wow feel at home," I heard Kirlstine said galing pang kusina at naka school uniform. "You guys don't know how to knock?"

No one answered her so bumalik nalang sya sa kusina kung ano mang ginagawa niya.

I put my bag in the mini table and then I sit in the other side of the couch. Tinignan ko lang kung paano pinatong nang kuya ang paa sa mini table tsaka pinaandar ang television.

"May pa snob kapang nalalaman dito lang rin naman punta mo," I said to him. Parang tanga naman to kausap. May nangyari atang hindi maganda dito dahil hindi maipinta ang mukha sa sobrang kunot.
