Past Life

Chapter 10- Barbie

Some of the jokes here ay kwinento po sa akin ng mga pinsan ko so I don't know where they get them. I apologize if naencounter niyo na sila. God bless! -LegacyM.

I was stunned. I don't want to give meanings but I can't help it. Before I knew it, I already asked the things that are tangled in my head, "Why? Why do you want to keep me secured?"

"You're my friend." Friend, It's so fool of me to expect more than that. Of course. We are friends.

~~

"Count 1 to 8"

And the counting begins. Group daw namin ito sa gagawing project.

At kung swineswerte ka nga naman talaga oh. Ako, si Pocketbook, si Lee at si Barbie. Yung totoo? Scripted ba to? Sa Wattpad lang to nangyayari eh.

"Go to your groups."

"Yes Sir."

At yun nagkumpulan kami. Nakikita ko si Pocketbook na tumitingin-tingin kay Barbie.

"Pocketbook, swerte mo ah. Kagroup mo si Barbie. Crush mo noh?" then I nudged him at the side.

"Pfftt.. no way." Ay, ang choosy.

"Wow hah! Bakla ka ba o alien? Tignan mo nga yang si Barbie, maganda, sexy, makinis, Coca-cola body! Siya na ang Barbie doll!"

"Katulad ng Barbie, maganda siya, makinis, sexy, long legged at ang perfect ng buhok." See, crush niya nga. Nagdedeny pa. "Pero katulad din ng Barbie, wala siyang utak at plastic."

I looked at him, wide eyes. "Really!? Ang sama mo."

Tumatawa siya, "Oo. Ipapakita ko sa'yo." Pinuntahan namin si Barbie at Lee. Parang kailan lang dinadramahan ko itong lalaking to. Yuck!

"Ehem! So guys, time to make plans?"

"Sure. Wala naman kaming gagawin ni Barbie mamaya, so better do the project later. What do yah think?" Suggestion ni Lee.

"OK. Sure! Dun tayo sa restau, deal?"

"DEAL!"

At 3:00, nandito na kami sa restau. Kanina pa tumatawa tong si Pocketbook, wala namang tinatawanan. Really? Weird.

"Wait lang ah, I'll go to CR lang." Ay, ang conyo para nitong si Barbie. At maslalo pang lumakas ang tawa nitong si Pocketbook. Weird. Pinagmasdan ko si Barbie hanggang makapasok siya ng CR. Ang ganda talaga niya. Ang hirap na hindi mainsecure.

"Cyker." Lee caught my attention.

"Lee." It's our first time to talk since the PDA thing.

"I'm sorry last time. Hindi ko sinasadya. I hope we can be friends after all. Kalimutan na natin ang nangyari. At.. uhm..The way you look at Barbie, sana hindi ka galit sa kaniya." I laughed a little but then I gave him a sincere smile.

"Don't worry. She's more beautiful; she's sexier; well, she's better. Come on, I wouldn't choose me either. Why choose stones rather than jewels?" Rake stops laughing. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Lee anymore but hey, I'm a girl. I cannot avoid insecurities. Lalo na't ang ipinagpalit sa'kin ay mala-model, gosh, anong laban ko dun?

Bumalik na si Barbie at men, ang hirap pigilan ng insecurities. Then tumawag na kami ng waiter.

"Barbie, ikaw na lang ang mag-order." Sabi ni pocketbook.

"OK." At si Kuyang waiter at Barbie na ang nag-usap.

"Good afternoon Ma'am. What would you like to eat?"

"Hotdogs and eggs."

"And how do you like your eggs Ma'am?"

"Oh yes, tenkyu. I like dem beri much."

"No Ma'am, what I mean is how would you like them cooked?"

"Yes, tenkyu. I would like them cooked." Napakamot na lang ng batok yung waiter.

"How about bread Ma'am?"

"They are fine. Thanks for asking."

"I mean do you want a bread Ma'am?"

"We is wanting bread. You is should give us."

"Drinks?"

"We also is wanted drinks."

"What kind of drinks Ma'am?"

"Sago't gulaman."

"We don't have that, Ma'am. You're wasting my time. I should ask you for the last time, what do you want to eat?"

"Pfftt.. Ang gulo namang kausap nito, tubig na nga lang!"

Hahaha!! Laugh trip! Eto ba yung kanina pa tinatawanan ni Pocketbook, ang sama niya ah.

"Told you." Pocketbook whispers in my ear.

"Stop it! You're such a bully. Haha!" Gosh! Feeling ko tumatalsik na yung laway ko sa kakatawa dito. Eww.. nakakawala ng poise. Kasalanan to ni Pocketbook. Perwisyo talaga.

"You girls have your flaws and talents and beauty. You shouldn't be insecure. May isa pa kong sasabihin sa'yo."

"Ano na namang kalokohan yan?" 

"Hindi nagbabawas si Barbie." WAIT, WHAT!? Paano naman mangyayari yun? Oh wait, ang mga Barbie dolls walang butas ang... OMG!

"Are you serious!?! oh gosh!" I made sure na mahina lang ang boses ko para hindi marinig ni Lee at Barbie. TOTOO!?! I can't believe this.

"Yup. I'm not telling this to you para iintimidate o siraan si Barbie. I'm telling this for you to realize that you should not be insecure. May mga bagay na lamang siya sa'yo pero may mga bagay din na maslamang ka sa kaniya." He is looking at my green eyes again and I feel shivers down in my spine. My heart is pounding. "If I were Lee, knowing that Barbie is prettier and sexier. I will still choose you.

.

I will choose you, Cyker."
