CHAPTER 22: A fragile toxicated woman and a spirit of alcohol

SA LOOB NG CAR....

“the truth is .... i want to have a drink.... are u drinking... like wine or something?” troy asked her..

“ah... eh... oo naman... sure anywhere u want i mean.... anything u want...” the she smiles... pero sa totoo lang she hadn’t been drinking any alcohol before... it would be her fisrt time..she has to lie... ksi alam nia... mukha palang ni troy.... mukhang may pinagdadaanan sya and gusto niang makatulong ditto...

Pumasok na sila sa isang bar. He ordered for a drink.... pero hindi too hard alcohol. Napansin yun ni eirhhine.

An hour passed... at mukhang lasing na si eirhhine pero matino pa ito... si troy naman may tama narin....

“so, tell me, eirhhinne.... why did u lie?”

para namang nalinawan si eirhhine sa narinig nia.... “ha?....” then she smiled...

“it was ur first time to drink... i had to order this kind of thing just to test u.... and look... lasing ka na kagad.... why do u have to lie anyway?” he asked her.

She then took a full glass of wine the started to talk....“there is..... someone....” she started...

“huh?” troy looked at her trying to pay attention to what she was about to say...

“there is someone that....... i really.......... really like...........” then she smiled....

Nagulat naman si troy... kahit na may tama na sya ng alak matinong matino pa naman sya...

“and i had to do something for him....... he was sad...... so sad that i don’t even want to see him that way.... i just met him recently but..... damn it all.... i really like him.........” then she looked at him... “funny isn’t it?”

Speechless naman si troy...

“i owe him a lot.... i hate her bestfriend.... even before i met him.... and even now.... this hate turns to jealousy.... why do he has to be with her???? Naiiggit ako pag nakikita ko sila.... naiisip ko na sana..........” tears start to fall....

She took aNother glass. 

And then looked at troy..

“sana.... ako nalang.......... sana ako na lang yung taong kasama nia..........

sana ako nalang.....

“pero hindi eh... kaya ngayon....” di nya naituloy ang sasabihin nia..

“enough.... ur drunk... too much drunk.... let’s go... i will take you back” troy told her...

“no.... please... let me finished first... i... had to say this......... ok? Just listen........” then she continued.

“i had known him for about 3 months ago.... and to make her recognized me.... i tried to change.... sabi nila makapal dw mukha ko dahil sa make-up. Naisip ko baka gaun din tingin nia sakin... and so i change... i change my look....hoping that he could see me beautifully.... sabi nila badminton player daw sya... kaya ako kahit di marunong.... sumali ako... nagpapayat pa ko, sumali ako sa dance club na pinakaayaw ko coz i hear he likes dancing... at dahil matalino sya, i had to study hard,isang bagay na hindi ko naman ginagawa pero......... para mapansin niang magaling din ako....ginawa ko” tuloy tuloy ang pagdaloy ng luha nia...

“but u know the sad thing is?..... hindi yun sapat..... hindi sapat para mapansin nia ko... lahat..... alam mo bang lahat??  kaya kong gawin at handa kong gawin para lang mapansin nia ko....???? at kung kinakakailangan kong uminom ng isang drum na alak at magsinungaling sa kanya........... gagawin ko...... wag lang............ wag lang yung Makita kong ganito sya............. sobrang lungkot............... kasi..................... hindi naman yun yung taong minahal ko eh......gusto ko syang makitang lagi nakangiti... cool.... at di ko man makuha ang puso nia.... at least...... gusto kong malaman nia yun.......... na........ andito lang ako................ kahit hindi nia hilingin...... palagi lang akong nandito.... susuportahan at sasamahan ko sya.......... hanggang sa Makita kong ok na sya ulit..............hanggang sa dumating yung time na kaya na kong tanggapin.......... o kahit hindi na..............  basta yun lang............... yun lang............”

“mahirap ba yun???? Troy? Am i asking too much??? I’m sory.... kasi sobrang sakit na.....”at patuloy na syang nagsob.... hanggang sa makatulog sya dala narin ng sobrang pag-iinom...

“eirhinne...... i’m sorry..... i didn’t know, i..... thank you....” then he lift her take back to his car and take her home.....

“i didn’t know u would gone that far.... tnx....” then she kissed her on forehead.... and leave their home.

Uminom sya ulit for another hour then decided to come home...
