Date With The Arrogant: Chapter 42

Okay. Second to the last chapter! :)

♥♥♥

“Lainnneeee!”

I lazily got up from my bed and opened the door for Chix who obviously ruined the silence I was quite relishing for the past hours now.

“OH MY GOD!” Chix exclaimed in awe when I was finally in front of her. She immediately went inside my room as I closed the door and locked it again. “What the holy freak Laine?! Anong nangyari sayo??”

I yawned and chose to ignore her question. I threw myself in my bed instead and covered my face with the pillow. Pilit kinuha ni Chix yung unan sa mukha ko. Sandali pa kaming nag-agawan pero sa huli, sya din yung nanalo. Tinatamad na naupo ako sakamako at tiningnan sya pagkaraan ay humikab ulit ako.

“Do you know what time it is? Alas-siyete na ng gabi and yet iyan pa ding pajama na suot mo? Yan na yung pinantulog mo kagabi ah?!” Tiningnan ko yung suot ko. At tama sya, ito pa nga yung suot ko kagabi. Bago pa man ako magdahilan eh nagsalita ulit sya. “Tingnan mo nga yang buhok mo. Yung eyebags mo. Para ka ng zombie.”

Sinuklay ko ng kamay ko yung buhok ko. “Grabe ka naman. Eh Halloween naman eh. Bagay to sa okasyon.” Sabi ko pagkaraan ay pilit akong tumawa.

Lumapit sa akin si Chix at nag-aalala nya akong tiningnan. Tinabihan nya ako. “First of all bes, ang fake ng tawa mo. Secondly, tapos at malayo pa ang Halloween. Valentines ngayon. VA-LEN-TINES.” She said, emphasizing every syllable of that word.

Pilit akong ngumiti kay Chix. “Eh sa ganito ako magcelebrate ng Valentines eh. You know, para maiba lang.”

“You lie down your bed the whole day, trying to make yourself a walking, miserable zombie? Is that how you celebrate Valentines?” She said sarcastically.

“How would you want a person like me to celebrate Valentines Day? Roam around all day at the mall? Watch movie? Stroll in the park?” I retorted. “By myself? Alone? Is that what you wanted me to do?”

“That’s not the point Laine!” Chix exclaimed before she let out a long exasperated sigh.

Marahan akong napabuntong hininga at saka ako ngumiti sa kanya. “Ikaw talaga bes, high blood ka agad eh. Nagjojoke lang ako. Ano? Musta pala date nyo ni Paps Hiro?” Pag-iiba ko ng usapan, baka kasi mauwi pa kami nito sa pagtatalo eh. At ayokong mangyari yun.

She ignored my question and just looked at me seriously. “He’s not communicating with you yet?”

I made a serious face before I shook my head.

“He’s not sending you any text? Not even a single one?”

Again, I shook my head lightly.

“E-mail?”

Umiling ulit ako.

“Traditional snail mail?”

I shook my head for the fourth time.

“DM? IM? Post on your wall? Tweet?” Sunod-sunod na tanong nya at sinagot ko din sya ng sunod sunod na iling. She sighed deeply. “It’s been two years and yet, ni isang salita mula sa kanya wala kang natanggap.”

I rolled my eyes. “Tss. Ang OA mo talaga noh bes? Two years ka dyan.”

“Okay. Almost three months.” Sabi nya na akala mong talo na sya sa diskusyon naming dalawa.

“74 days, 19 hours, 27 minutes.” I corrected.

She rolled her eyes heavenwards. “Whatever. Regardless of the days, months or even years, ganun pa din yun! Yung sinabi nyang two weeks, umabot na ng ganito katagal!”
