One Night Stand - Unfold

chapter 66

“Grrr.. Maq nasan ka na?” kanina pa tinatawagan at nagtetext si Julie sa kaibigan. Maqui promised her they’ll watch City of Bones today. Nagsumbong kasi sya kagabi dito. Naalala pa ni Julie how touch and bless she feels kagabi.

LAST NIGHT

Hindi mawala sa isip ni Julie ang sinabi ni Elmo sa kanya. ‘One night stand. One night stand. One night stand’ keeps ringing in her head.

 

“Grrrrrrr!!”

 

Ginulo ang buhok at naglumpasay sa kama. Maya maya huminto. Tapos huminga ng malalim. Then do it again. She wants to forget about that. But no matter what she does, her mind keeps drifting to that. She can’t help the tears whenever she recalls how many girls there are in photos. At sigurado syang mas madami pa doon ang nakasiping ni Elmo. Just the mere Elmo’s talking, laughing and having intimate moment with Jas kills her. What more imagining Elmo with many different girls? Doing what she wish Elmo only does to her. What she wish they can do once again.

 

“I hate you Elmo. Kailangan pa ba talagang gawin yun? Spending the night with different random girls?” She’s sobbing “Tapos ide-deny yung kay Liv. Lokoloko” galit na sabi nito.

 

“What?” biglang singit ni Maqui.

 

Hindi na nagulat si Julie dito. Maqui have a spare key to her condo. At madalas magigising syang katabi nya na ang best friend nya. And Maqui knows everything. Nagtweet pa nga ‘to ng ‘You user’ ng minsang ginamit lang si Julie ni Richard, co-worker ni Julie, para umugong ang pangalan sa kumpanya.

 

“Si Moe Maq” sumbong ni Julie kay Maqui at sinalubong ng yakap ang kaibigan.

 

“Ano nnmng ginawa nya? Kadadating nya lang ah. Kanina na lang uli kayo nagkita. Si Magalona talaga!” Maqui said. Pampalubag loob kay Julie. She knows very well that whatever it is. Elmo didn’t mean it.

 

“He slept with another girl Maq” it takes effort para masabi yun kay Maqui

 

“Tsismis. ‘Wag kang maniniwala dun. Sikat si Elmo kaya ganun”

 

“Elmo told me so”

 

“With who? Jas? Sila talaga?” gulat na tanong ng kaibigan.

 

“No…” nahihirapan syang magsalita. Parang may sipon dahil sa kaiiyak. “Dif-different random g-girls” humihikbing sabi nito.

 

“Different….random….girls?” mabagal na tanong ni Maqui.

 

Julie nods “One night stand” Nakita ni Julie how surprised Maqui was. “I hate him Maq. Sana hindi na lang nya sinabi diba? Sana he lied to me about it. Sana sinabi nyang edited or something” and she sobs “Kahit nmn sinabi kong I’m not jealous, he knows I’m jealous. So why said that?”

 

Masamang masama ang loob ni Julie kay Elmo. She just hates him so, so much. Maqui closed her eyes and sighed. ‘Bakit pa kailangang sabihin yun ni Elmo’ isip nya. And she hugged Julie again. Syempre alam nyang masakit yun for Julie. Wala ngang karapatan magselos or karapatan para kay Elmo ang kaibigan. But still, her best friend can’t control what she’s feeling.
