Chapter 22: Half of my Heart

***

Binigay ko na sa kanila yung cellphone ni monkey at bumalik na sa loob. Ako lang ang mahilig mag-stay sa loob. Buti na lang on vacation abroad ang family ni Charmaine.

A-ano ba yung nakita ko? Hay! ERASE! ERASE! Napakadaming tanong ang umiikot sa isip ko. It's time to settle things down.

***5 PM, Saturday;

Tinawag ko na ulit silang lahat for rehearsals. Kung ayaw nila, edi wag. Of course gusto nilang makakuha ng mataas na grade kaya sumunod naman. Yown ang powers!

"Guys! What scene ba ang naguguluhan kayo?" I asked them. None of them spoke. "Okay. So wala talaga?"

They all shook their heads.

"Sige. Uwian na."

"Nooo! Actually, alam mo, may problema si Sharlyn sa Act two, Scene two." Eril

"Sus! If I know, ayaw mo lang umuwi eh. Dinadamay mo pa si Shar."

"Actually, meron ngang problema." singit naman ni Sharlyn.

"Parang wala naman ah? Pero sige if meron nga, let's try and put remedies. Ano ba yun?"

"Wait. Dun tayo oh." tinuro ni Sharlyn yung dalawang swing.

Sumunod na lang ako sa kanya. Pero nagtataka naman ako bakit dito pa talaga namin kailangang mag-usap? Pwedi namang dun na lang. Nadito na eh, yaan na lang.

"So, what's the prob?"

"Yun ngang sa Capulet's Orchard."

"Ano ba dun? Ayos naman yun lahat ah."

"You want this play to be something the audience would clap about, right?" I nodded. Syempre. I am the director. Hihihi. "Then," she continued. "Let's do the kiss part."

Nanlaki mata ko dun ah. It seemed just like yesterday na sobrang ayaw niya ah. Oh, may gusto nga pala siya kay Kenneth. Pero hindi naman dapat siya lang yung nagd-decide about this manner, diba? Hindi lang naman siya gagawa ng kissing scene. As if namang halikan niya sarili nya. Ang epic naman nun pag nagawa nya yun. Hoooh! Hands down.

"Does Kenneth know about this?" kumunot ang noo ko. Malay ko kung bakit, siguro trip lang ng ulo ko.

"U-uhh. Yeah, yeah. Hehehe." she forced a fake chuckle.

"Okay. Settled. We'll do the kiss part." at ngumit ako nang nakakabaliw. Hohoho! This'll be fun. Malay ko ba kung pwedi 'tong kiss kiss thingy na 'to. Pero I'll take the risk. Bwahaha. Gosh, I'm evil and I'm loving it. Hohoho! Merry Kissing. :))

"T-talaga?" and Sharlyn's eyes sparkled like diamonds.

"Sure." I got up at bumalik na sa harapan ng group mates ko.

"Let's put remedies to some spoiled parts." then the rest was history. 'Kay, don't mind my words. Aning ako ngayon eh, bakit ba.

***Sunday;

"WAAHHH!" panicked, I yelled.

"Ang agap naman yata ng dramatic shriek mo, Katherine!" reklamo ni echuserang Eril.

"Eh kasi naman kasi, I can't find my other t-shirt. I'm pretty sure I brought three." I retorted without looking at them. As if namang um-attend ako ng mass nang kung ano ano lang ang suot. No way!

"Ba't naman kasi tatlo lang? Err, I'll let you borrow na nga. Sige na sige na. Eeek!"

"Ang arte mo. Che! As if namang hihiram ako sa'yo. Mahiya ka bakla. Psh."
