HE'S THE ONE

Chapter 9 - MR.NO MANNERS

Nick's POV

After class, I drove Meycee on her way home.I need to watch her now. She's broken.

I hate seeing her cry. It's killing me but I don't know how to make her stop.

I'm not good about making advices stuff. Nah, I don't understand girls. Why so emotional?

Love without pain is a wonderful feeling in an ideal world.

Sad to say,this world is not perfect. Don't expect constant happiness when you're inlove. That's the problem with girls. They think if they love someone and that someone love them back,they will both be the happiest people in the world forever. Well I'm gonna tell you that's wrong.

This world is full of uncertainties. Think about the things that will surely happen. Stop expecting about future anniversaries and happiness with a certain person. That will surely hurt you in the end.

Take it easy.

Take it slow.

That's how you should handle things.

I opened my eyes at isinara ang rumaragasang tubig from the shower.

After fixing myself, I grab my phone at humiga ako  sa kama.

I look at it..

Should I call her back and listen to her irriating voice?

hmmmm...

I end up watching basketball. I don't have to waste my time for that bunny girl. -.-

tumunog ang cellphone

From: Andrew

Hey Bro,nasa tambayan kami.Won't you come?

I start typing..

"On my way bro."

SEND *click*

I stand afterwards at kinuha ang susi ng sasakyan.

It's been 5 minutes since I left home. Malapit na rin akong makarating sa tambayan nang huminto ang sasakyang minamaneho ko.

I start the engine again,nothing happens.

"Fuck." 

 Lumabas ako sa sasakyan to check the engine. Sinusuri ko ang makina to look for the problem.

"Kuya,ibaba nyo naman po yan oh"

Natigil ako at napatingin sa abandonadong department store on my right side kung saan nanggaling ang boses.

"Sabi nang tumahimik ka eh! Ibigay mo na sa akin yan!"

singhal ng isa pang boses. Malalim at galit ito. A voice of a man.

"Kuya wag nyo po akong sasaktan please.."

Pinasok ko ang department store at nadatnan ang isang babaeng nakauniform na may dalang  apple na cellphone at kaharap ang isang mamang may dalang kutsilyo. Nakatututok ang kutsilyo sa babae.

"Sabi nang akin na eh!"

"Oo na kuya,ibibigay ko na..wag nyo lang po akong sasaktan." iaabot  na ng babae ang hawak nitong cellphone.

tumingin ako sa paligid. May empty coke can.

Bingo.

Pinulot ko ito at hinagis sa mukha ng mamang mangnanakaw.

 *pok!*

"aray!"

napatingin silang dalawa sa akin.

"Letcheng bata to ah.Magbabayad ka!" tumakbo siya papalapit sa akin.

*********************************************************************************

Phew. No sweat at all. Why so weak? Hindi naman nakakaenergize.tss.

Tinignan ko ang mangnanakaw. Nakahiga siya sa sahig at nawalan ng malay. Bugbog sarado ang mukha nito. Shit. Lalong pumangit. -.-

I look at the girl. Blangko ang mukha nito at nakanganga. Nilapitan ko siya at nakita ang isang pamilyar na mukha.

Wait, si MISS RED FACE ito ah. We met few days ago sa principal's office.

"Thank you" kinuha nya ang kanyang bag at tumayo.

"Ganyan ka ba talaga ka tanga?" I cross my arms at tinitigan siyang mabuti.

Nahinto siya at binigyan ako ng malalim na tingin.

"Potek ka! Hindi ba pwedeng OKAY KA LANG BA ang una mong sabihin?!" 

"Whoa,ganyan ba ang ugali mo sa taong nagligtas sa buhay mo?"

"Hoy! Cellphone ko lang ang niligtas mo,hindi ang buhay ko. Kung makafeel naman ito ng moment,wagas!"

"Aish.Stupid little brat."

Lumabas ako sa department store.

Shit. Nakakabadtrip talaga tong babae na to kahit kailan. Dapat pinipraise niya na ako ngayon for what I did to save her. Singhalan ba naman ako?Pshhh. Kainis.

Mubalik ako sa sasakyan at sinuri ulit ito. Fuck. Isa pa to. Of all the time bakit ngayon pa nagkaaberya?

Sinasadya ba talagang masira to ngayon para maligtas ko siya? Destiny they say? ew. -.-

Lumabas si Ms. Red Face. She look at me. Umiiyak siya at tumakbo papalayo.

Ano nanamang problema nun? Aish.

I  REALLY HATE HER.

Kinuha ko ang phone at nagdial...

"Hey bro,I can't come. May emergency."

I didn't wait for his respond at binaba ang phone.

Teka, Nasaan na si Ms. Red Face? Pshh..Baka ano nanamang mangyari dun.Bakit ba kase ang tanga. -.-

 I look at the department store again. 

*sigh*

It's been a long time. A very long time.
