The Truth Hurts

The Truth Hurts [6]

Big night na! Oh my gosh! Oh boy, this is gonna be awkward talaga! I mean, I haven‟t seen twinx for years now, and I never really got along with her and doc and pare is not really that buddy buddy with each other kaya un. Kakaibang gabi toh ngayon! Ewan koh na lang kung anong mangyayari. Then biglang nag ring ung doorbell koh, it was just about mga 7 kaya I was shocked, to see pare.

 “oh baket ang aga moh?!”

 “hello?! Alangan namang ma-late ung cook noh?!” sabi nya sabay, beso tapos diretso na sa kitchen with all his ingredients and started working on dinner na.I was about to close the door when I saw a very sexy but not that beautiful girl coming over. May dalang bowl. Si twinx ba toh?! Ewan koh lang. Naalala koh tuloy, the first time I ever saw her she was also carrying a bowl of chips. Ano ba toh?! Lagi na lang bang may dalang bowl „tong babaeng toh?!

 “hey! How you‟ve been?! Haven‟t seen you in a while.” Sabi nung gurl. Ah! Si twinx nga toh, feeling close pa rin eh.

 “hey!” sabi koh na mejo napipilitan ngumiti, “oo nga eh, etoh doctor na.” Sabay beso kay twinx.

“ui, tuloy ka, come in come in.” sabi koh and pumasok na nga xa sa loob.

 “oh, ano naman yang dala moh?!” tanong koh sa kanya na may forced smile pa rin.

 “ah etoh, kasi nakakahiya naman dumating ng walang dala diba?! Kaya nagdala akoh ng salad, hope you like it.” sabi nya.

 “oh you shouldn‟t have but thanks na rin.” Sabi koh, then kinuha koh na ung bowl and nilagay sa ref. I offered twinx some juice and invited her to sit muna sa may living room kasi nga nagluluto pa si pare and wala pa si doc.

 “so, what have you been up to lately?!” ask ni twinx

 “uhm, I‟m now a surgeon.” Sabi koh

 “really?! What kind?! I mean, what‟s your specialty?!”

 “nuero. But I also do, general surgery.”

 “oh really?! Why don‟t you try plastic surgery?! You know, I‟ve got this friend who‟s a plastic surgeon, and she earns a ton of money…..” blah blah blah… ewan! Kwento xa ng kwento about her friend ng a na plastic surgeon na yumaman dahil dun tapos hindi na koh masyado nakarelate sa mga kinukwento nya. I just nodded and smiled pra naman hindi akoh magmukhang bastos diba?!

 “uhm, twinx, wait lang ha, may tumatawag yata eh.” Sabi koh sabay alis. It was a big sigh of relief. Nakahinga din akoh. The one calling was doc, he was gonna be a little late daw kasi he still haw some work to do.

 “pare, doc will be a little late, kasi nagkaroon xa ng emergency patient and he had to do an immediate bypass surgery. Kaya ayun.”

 “ah okei.” Sabi ni pare from the kitchen, hindi na koh pumasok sa kitchen kasi he doesn‟t like being disturbed when cooking. Ewan koh ba dun. Then pinuntahan koh na ulit si twinx sa couch, wala na kasi akoh choice eh. Ewan koh ba, kahit anong gawin koh talagang ang bigat talaga ng loob koh sa babaeng toh. Hindi koh talaga xa feel. Prang I don‟t feel like wasting my time talking to her. Ewan koh!

 “so, your boyfriend is also a doctor?!” sabi nya. Hay naku, kahit anong pilit koh talaga hindi koh talaga xa feel kausapin.

 “yah. Surgeon din.” Sabi koh.

 “where did you two meet?!”

“med school.” Na iilang na koh sa mga tanong nya.

“eh how long…” hindi nya na natapos kasi bigla na koh sumingit

. “uy, have you seen this flick na ba?! Wanna watch it?! ganda!” sabi koh then put the movie on para matahimik na „tong babaeng toh. Hindi koh na kasi talaga ma-take. Kaya ayun, no choice xa, natahimik din xa. Sa wakas! Kaya, we just watched the movie na lang. After the movie, odd silence na sumunod.
