"Teka lang naman, wala pa akong napipiling design." reklamo ni Shawn ng pumasok kami sa loob ng tattoo shop.

Mayroon akong appointment sa tattoo ko, ewan ko lang sila. Bigla ba namang nagsi-sama ng sabihin kong magpapatattoo ako. Hindi mo malaman sa dalawa kung nagagayaw ba o ano.

"Just choose whatever, Shawn." sabi ni Knight kaya binatukan siya ng kaibigan.

"Parang nabubura pa kapag ayaw ko na ah? Kailangan kong pag-isipan ng maayos 'to."

"Fine, stay outside muna if you di not yet choose a design." pang-aasar na naman ni Knight.

Sa huli, may napiling arabic phrase si Shawn habang iisang letra naman ang kay Knight. Ako ang unang sumalang sa tattoo artista ko. I chose semi-colon tattoo and it has a deep meaning on it. Every ink in my body, there are deep meanings. Hindi ako nagpatattoo dahil trip ko lang, kung hindi dahil dito ko ibinubuhos ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. My wrist maybe clean already, but my body has few inks. That's better, right?

"Tagong-tago." wika ni Knight ng pumasok sa mismong silid kung saan ako tinatattoo-an. "What is the meaning of that, bro?"

"It's just a random design." pagsisinungaling ko. "I just decided to it in my lower abdoben 'cause my Mom will be mad when she knew na I have a new tattoo." Lie, again.

After we all got inked, nagsi-uwi na kami sa condo namin. I have condo near ADMU but I still have my car. I'm nor fan of walking around dahil mausok sa kalsada.

Shawn Trevor Chan
Let's drink in xylo

Knight Alexian Roque
So you coming? I'll bring Leivi as my plus one, then.

Avidas Leivi Yu
Who told you that I'm going? I have lot things to do.

Shawn Trevor Chan
We didn't ask your decision, Leivi. Sasama ka. I'll mesaage Sancho as my plus one.

Knight Alexia Roque
Make bawi na, Leivi. I already count how many times you declined our invitation to get drunk.

Avidas Leivi Yu
I told you, I have lot things to do.

Shawn Trevor Chan
Bro, desisyon kami. Sasama ka.

Wala akong nagawa kung hindi ang mag-ayos na ng sarili. I just wore simple clothes because I'm lazy ro dress up. I used my car to go to Xylo. I didn't mind those looking at me, maybe looking at me weird 'cause I have my book with me.

Ang daming tao dahil birthday celebration pala ito ng kaibigan nina Shawn at Knight. Nandito rin ang pinsan ko na si Shancho.

"How was the frat?" I asked my cousin.

"It's doing well."

"Try to make things right in the fraternity."

"I have plan for it."

"You just have one year to do it, Sancho. Kapag hindi mo naayos iyan, I will run as the president."

"Don't you fucking dare, Leivi. Mapapatay na ako ni Lolo kapag nalaman na tumakbo ka rin."

"I don't care about that man."

"You really hate that man?"

"Who didn't?"

That man... He's the reason why I have my tattoo in my lower abdomen. I tried to kill myself countless times. Kung hindi sina Mom ang nakakahuli, ang mga kaibigan ko. I even decided not to go home so I can plan how to die but Knight and Shawn are stupid. They keep on saving me. Like why? I commited suicide because I want to die, not to be saved by them. Damn that inccident... Tangina din ng lintik na fraternity na iyan.
