Chapter 9
Napabalikwas ako sa hinigaan ko. Wait, paano ako napunta rito? I look at the clock, it's 8:05 PM. Tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana at nakita kong madilim sa labas. Tiningnan ko ang suot ko, I'm still wearing my uniform.
Sa naalala ko ay umiiyak ako habang yakap si... mariin ako napapikit sa naalala ko. Shit! I cried on Felix's chest!!
I violently punch my bed multiple times because of what I did. He may be thinking badly of me. Noooo!! Hindi nga kami close!! I took a pillow and stuff it in my face. I scream all my lungs out on the pillow. After I scream, I inhale and exhale to compose myself.
Pagkatapos kong mahimasmasan ay inalala ko kung ano ang sunod na nangyari pero wala akong naalala. Shit! Nakatulog ako!
Napatingin ako sa pintuan nang bumukas ito. Ate Tat pops her head in the opening of the door. "Oh, your awakey lil sis." She invited herself in. She sit on my bed, facing me.
"Ate, how did I end up here?" I asked.
"Do you mean looking like a drunkard or here in your room?"
"W-what?" Hindi ako makapaniwala sa sinabi niya. Dali-dali kong kinuha ang hand mirror na nasa nightstand ko.
"Oh my God!" Bulalas ko ng makita ko ang mukha ko sa salamin. Buhaghag ang buhok ko, my waterproof eyeliner and lipstick are smeared, my eyes are puffy, and my cheeks and nose are so red like true drunkard!
I throw the hand mirror on the other side of my bed then I cover my face with hands. Waaahhhh!! Tell me please, I don't look like this infront of him!
Ate Tat gently stroking my back. "Hush, that's alright Elara. Atleast you know you're ugly that way."
Bumalikwas ako at tiningnan siya ng masama. The hell with her words.
Her hands raised up as if she surrendered. "That's just the truth darling."
"Paano ako napunta rito? Sino ang naghatid sa akin?"
Tumingin siya sa akin at ngumiti. "Well, my dear friend, Felix drop you here. You should see how shock I was when I saw him carry you out on the cab, looking ugly and lifeless. I can't believe my eyes, for a moment there, I thought that he turn his back to inang birtud and went to the straight path." She exagerately recount while fanning herself with her hand.
He take me home and carry me?! "Siya rin ba ang nagdala sa akin rito sa kwarto?"
"Oh no no no. Eventhough he looks like a straight man he never leave inang birtud. Kuya Ed carry you up here. You sound so asleep." She recalled.
"Kuya Edmund?!" Gulat kong sabi.
She nodded. "Yups, don't worry, he didn't ask anything."
No, that's not what I'm worried about. Kuya may be silent but he probably not have me investigated what happened.
"You know kuya didn't like to ask but gets the answer himself!" Eskahedera kong sabi.
She shook her shoulders. "If that really happened, shouldn't you be happy? What happened to you anyway?"
I sigh then told her everything. I see how her smooth glabella creases. She stand up after I tell her what happened.
"Saan ka pupunta?" I asked.
I felt her aura darkened. Shit, I should try not to tell her my problem next time.
"You should eat after you bath. The food is on th refrigerator, heat it. I have to study." She coldly said and leave my room.
