Taura
Another reason why I dislike Moira is because she is too sipsip to our relatives. Masyado siyang mabait and I hate it. Everybody likes her perhaps love her. Wala tuloy akong malugaran.
"Mukhang may problema ka ha?" Sabi ng lalaki kong pinsan. Isa siya sa mga naging ka-close ko but I know that they're so much close ni Moira.
"No, this is nothing." Sabi ko sa kanya.
"Baka nakakalimutan mo, ako ang best cousin mo." Sabi niya sakin at siniko ako ng mahina. Nasa patio lang kami nagpapahangin.
"Jolo, wag kang makulit." Sabi ko sa kanya. I felt my phone vibrate for the fifth time this night. Hindi ko siya sinasagot. Hindi ko naman kilala so why bother?
"Sagutin mo naman yan. Kawawa naman eh. Malay mo that's your classmate na kailangan ng tulong." Sabi ni Jolo sakin.
"If there would be a person they would ask help for, it wouldn't be me." Sabi ko sa kanya.
"Oh come on. Ikaw? Hindi hihingan ng tulong? You're the toughest person I have ever met nga eh." Sabi niya sakin. I wish I was gullible enough to listen to him but I'm not.
"Fine, whatever." I ended up saying yes. I pressed Answer. "Hello?"
"Hi Taura." On the other line.
"Sino to and how did you get my number?"
"It seems like I still got your number on my mind." Sabi niya. He siya. Lalaki.
"Who the fuck are you?" I asked.
"Hmm, I think you'll hang up on me kapag nalaman mo kung sino ako." Sabi niya.
"I will hang up on you if you don't tell me who you are."
"Promise to not hang up on me once you know who I am?"
"Yeah, right, whatever."
"This is Brix." Sabi niya. Brix? Philippine number? Does this mean... "Hello, you still there?"
"Kapal naman ng mukha mong tumawag pa sakin." Sabi ko sa kanya.
"I know you're still mad at me but please let me explain." Sabi niya. I know that he's honest about it.
"Not on the phone." Sabi ko.
"Sure, where can I meet you?" He asked. Eager talaga siya na makita ulit ako.
"Hmm, park near our house. Later." Sabi ko. Yes, I want to meet him now.
"Are you sure? It's getting late now." He asked. Not sure if concern or nah.
"Are you going or not?"
"Yes, I will." Sabi niya sa akin.
"Good." Sabi ko and ended the call.
What got into my mind? What have I done?
"Taura, was that Brix?" Moira asked.
"None of your business." I said and kept my phone on my pocket and went back inside the house.
