Naalimpungatan ako nang may kumuha sa 'kin. Iniangat niya ang kanang braso ko at inakbay sa kaniya. My nose scrunched for his scent. Ang bango naman. Amoy baby Johnson. Sino ba 'to?
"Pre, ikaw na bahala diyan," rinig kong sabi ni Perry.
"Why did you end up like this?" Tanong nito habang nakahawak sa 'kin. Ba't parang pamilyar ang boses nito? Sa'n ko ba siya narinig?
Tumawa siya, "Nagkayayaan pre, tsaka sumama lang ako para 'di sabihing kj,"
Pinilit kong imulat ang mata ko at medyo nasisilaw ako sa taong kaakbay ko. Teka, kinukuha na ba 'ko ng langit? No, lord. Please not that fast. I'm still virgin. Wala pang pinapasukang kweba 'tong junior ko.
"Salamat pre, ingat kayo,"
Iyon na ang huling narinig ko kay perry dahil inakay na 'ko palabas nitong kasama ko.
Inangat ko ang ulo para makita siya pero talagang amputi niya masyado lalo na't nakaitim na t-shirt siya. Pucha, totoong tao ba 'to? Kaya ang ginawa ko ay tinaas ko ang kaliwang kamay ko at sinundot-sundot ang pisngi niya.
Shet, malambot.
"Ikaw sundo-sundo kay Chleo? Hmm?"
He glanced down at me and let out a chuckle.
Tinatamad na 'kong naglakad. Kaya dumulas ang kanang braso ko sa kaniya dahilan para bumagsak ako sa sahig. Wala na rin ako sa hwisyo para makatayo ulit.
"Fuck, get up," rinig kong mura niya.
I shook my head dramatically and grinned foolishly, "Yaw, sino ikaw sabi?"
He tsked. "Para kang bata, malasing," mariin niyang sabi at walang pakundangan siyang tumalikod tsaka umupo at patalikod ding kinuha ang dalawa kong kamay.
"Tangina, ang bigat mo," reklamo pa niya.
Wow, he curse. Napahagikhik ako. Mas lalo ko na makikita ang mukha niya ng malapitan at alamin kung sino siya. I lean so I can get closer to see his face.
My forehead creased when I finally took a glimpse of this person who was giving me a back ride.
I hoarsely spoke, "Bads?"
"What?" Malamig niyang sagot.
Napanguso ako. I know I shouldn't go along with it since he's the one picking me up, but I'm too drunk to resist. Instead, I let him wrap my body tightly around his.
"Bads..." I softly called him. I think this is the first time for us to reconcile despite our arguments. Or maybe it's just me, making things even worse, which is why it never ends.
Is being myself immature? How come they don't understand that I'm the victim here, especially since he started all of this? I want him to feel my revenge, but in the end, we're the ones who end up getting hurt the most.
We're being bullied and as much as we want to stop the fuss. I don't think this will ever end, even though they already have a clear picture of what's happening.
I felt the vibration in his back when he spoke.
"Ano?"
I ignored his reply and shouted his name at the top of my lungs.
I chuckled when he tsked. Asar-talo ampota. Ang dali niya namang mainis. Ba't 'di niya 'ko gayahin happy lang. Hays.
"You know Vice Ganda song? Hmm?" I randomly asked.
Tumigil siya para i-bwelo ulit ang pagkaka-pasan niya sa 'kin. Napayakap pa tuloy ako sa leeg niya at dahil nababanguhan talaga ako sa amoy niya ay lalo pa akong sumiksik.
