To Gamble (A heart for a heart) R18

Chapter 2 - Ang Kashungahan

Hindi ko alam kung bulag ba o sadyang tanga lang ang makakabangga ng sasakyan na nakapark na. Ang laki-laki ng driveway pagkatapos ay mas pinili niya pang sumiksik sa gilid at banggain ang Range Rover ko.

I hastily capped the bottled water that I was holding and threw in on the shotgun seat. Nararamdaman ko ang pagpintig ng ugat sa ulo ko dahil sa inis.

I took in a sharp breath to calm my nerves but I know it wouldn't help. I have this disease called "saying-awful-things-without-thinking-thoroughly" or "unfiltered-mouth syndrome"

I tend to be very impulsive sometimes, okay fine, most of the time. Hindi ko napipigilan ang bibig ko sa mga salitang gustong lumabas mula rito. Kaya padabog kong binuksan ang pinto ng kotse at malakas din itong isinara pagkalabas ko.

I instinctively went to the front of my car and I cursed aloud when I saw the hanging plate number. Hindi nakaligtas sa akin ang mangilan-ngilan na gasgas doon. My blood boiled even more when I saw a dent just above the broken plate number.

Bumaling ang atensyon ko sa pagbukas ng pinto ng kulay abong Mercedes-Benz at napansin ko din ang bahagyang basag na ilaw sa kaliwa nito. From the silver car emerges a gorgeous creature that made me swallow all the snarky comments I was just about to verbalize.

God! Of all people! Bakit itong antipatiko, mayabang, at palaging nakakunot ang noo na lalaking 'to pa ang makababangga ng kotse ko?! Ang yabang-yabang, shunga naman magdrive!

The look of guilt plastered on his aristocratic face instantly vanished and got immediately replaced by recognition. Yes bitch, it's me!

All the insults I received from him earlier relived in my mind and the annoyance I felt for him intensified. Nanggigigil ako!

"Sinong tanga ang makakabangga ng kotse na nakapark na?" I hissed while he never dared to step forward. He was just right beside his car. His gaze drifting from me to the damages of car and then it went back to me again. Kung hindi ako naiinis ay baka na-"wet" na ako dahil sa mga titig niya pero hindi eh. Baka siya ang maging "wet" sa sarili niyang dugo pagkatapos ko siyang bugbugin.

"I'm--" Hindi ko siya pinatapos dahil itinaas ko ang hintuturo ko.

"Oh yes, you! Hindi ka naman bulag diba? Ang laki-laki ng driveway! Anong kashungahan yan ha? Nakakaimbyerna ka! Kanina ka pa!" Gigil kong sabi. I could feel my chest heating up because of pure birse.

He looked lost for a moment. Ang noo niya ay ganoon pa rin. Mukha talaga 'tong pinaglihi sa sama ng loob ng nanay niya. Siguro pagkalabas na pagkalabas niya sa sissy ng nanay niya ay nakakunot na agad ang noo niya.

"Ka..kashanguhan? Na-iimbereyna? What language are you freaking using, woman?" He asked, looking so frustrated... and cute.

Fuck it, Geri! Get your shits together! Naiinis ka okay? Galit ka! Mamaya na landi!

It really took my willpower to stop myself from bursting into fit of laughter. Oh jeez! Masyado atang sosyal ang lalaking to at hindi nakakaintindi ng gay lingo.
"Let me translate it for you, mister. It's not kashanguhan, it's kashungahan, meaning katangahan. And it's not naiimbereyna, ano yun, queen? It's naiimbyerna, meaning naiinis. Intiendes?" I rose my perfectly done eyebrow at his well scrunched face.

"So you're saying that I'm stupid and you're annoyed?" Lalong lumalim ang pagkakakunot ng noo niya, aba ang bongga naman! Wala siyang alam na ibang expression kundi puro frown.

"Not bad for a beginner. Malamang! Sinong hindi maiinis eh nakapark na nga ang kotse tapos nabangga mo pa! There isn't someone giving you a head inside that car, right?" I suspiciously asked and was about to walk towards his car to investigate but then he walked towards me and blocked my view.
