HMS 1: Caught In A Bad Romance

Chapter 6

It's been one month since that incident happened, up until now I still get irritated on that police officer. I intend to have my friends look for him. But the next day there is a problem with one of my companies in Italy and I have to travel there to solve it. I was there for three weeks kaya nakalimutan ko rin ang police na iyon.

Napahilot ako sa sintido ko. I think, I need a break. For almost one month in France never akong natigil sa pag aayos ng problema dun. I'm done with my workload here so I guess deserve kung mag saya ng konti.

Sakto din last week that my frat members message me. We have a reunion later, 6:00 pm. My phone suddenly rings.

Frowned is visible in my face but when I pick it up and see who is it, I poker face.

Kent Calling...

"Hello dude. Just reminding you that we have reunion later at six."

I suddenly frowned again.

"What do you think of me, an old man? Who have memory lost." I muttered, irritated already.

"Hey, hey chill man. Galit agad?" He asked while laughing.

"--Gago akin na nga, baka mamaya hindi pa yan pumunta," Someone said in the other line. I guess it's Drugg. "Dude alam kung matanda ka na kaya nagiging makakalimutin na rin, just reminding you na may reunion mamaya." Drugg said and I can hear the laughter of others because of it.

What do I even expect in this asshole. So in the end pinatayan ko sila ng tawag. Ngayon nagdadalawang isip na ako kung tutuloy pa ba ako. Alam nilang pikon ako kaya hindi malayong ako ang maging sentro ng asaran mamaya.

We are celebrating our thirteen years of our anniversary. I can't believe that our friendship took that long. I can't deny na bukod sa mga pinsan ko sila rin ang kasama ko sa mga kalokohan. Yung iba may sarili ng asawa, anak, fiance, at girlfriend. At ako nanaman ang aasarin dahil hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong naipakikila sa kanila.

When five o'clock came. I fix everything and I went home. Naabutan ko pa ang mga pinsan ko na nagvivideoke sa sala. Kala mo naman walang mga trabaho tong mga tarantadong to.

Ang videoke na yan ay matagal na. Siguro mga five years na din. I brought it cause hav wants to. Pinilit n'ya akong bilin yan kase nainggit daw s'ya sa kasaman n'ya sa trabaho. Inimbitahan daw kase sila kase birthday tapos sa bahay daw nun may videoke. Ang saya daw sa feeling kase kahit maiingay nag enjoy sila. It's like they are bonding.

Hindi ko alam kung magsisisi ba ako hindi. Sometime nageenjoy ako pag nasa mood akong makikanta kaso minsan wala sa hulog ang mga pinsan ko. Kahit gusto ko ng katahimikan rinig na rinig ko pa rin sa kwarto yung ingay ng kantahan nila. Ayun namumura ko minsan.

But for them videoke is life so videoke must go on even though I'm mad.

Ren is the one who first see me.

"Insan tara videoke!" Ren shouted kaya napatingin na rin sa'kin ang iba naming pinsan.

"I have a reunion with the frat." I replied.

They nod with understanding. Our frat celebrate every year that's why. Umakyat na rin naman ako sa taas para magbihis. I just wore simple white t-shirts that slightly fit in my body and a black slick pants paired with plain white nike shoes.

It's six thirty already when I arrived at the bar. I shrug my shoulder even though I know im late. They're used to it.

Pagpasok ko palang sa bar ay malakas na tugtugin na ang sumalubong sa akin. Maraming tao kahit kabubukas palang nito. This bar is own by our frat member, Malc. Nung isang lingo lang ito nag bukas kaso hindi ako nakaattend cause nasa France ako that time. I don't know where are they so I decided to text Malc.

Me:
Where are you?

It didn't took long when he message me back.

Malc:
Second floor, Vip 3

I didn't bother texting back. I started walking and when I reached the stairs I started climbing it. I'm half way walking when someone bump at me accidentally.

"I'm sorry." He said with a low voice.

When I look back. He dressed up weird. Nasa bar pero naka hoody and cap. Kinibitbalikat ko nalang, we have our own style and such. Who I'm I to judge.

"Careful next time dude." I seriously said.

When I started walking again I can't help but whisper.

"Weirdo."

I said I'm not judging but whatever.
