Forget the Sofa
JEWEL
The next day came. There was this slightest idea that I'm irritated by the sofa at our house. My brain didn't let me stop to remember about the things that happened in the sofa. There was this mere fact that when you can't forget about something that happened on that place , you should make another memorable thing on it , to help you forget about the thing that you kept on remembering.
I was so annoyed. As a matter of fact that I just saw him and things go KABOOM. Bigla-biglaan lang nang yari ang lahat. I saw him again and pagdating ko nanaman sa bahay there's this other thing that will help me NOT FORGET ABOUT HIM. Which is ; namely the Sofa.
I couldn't think about something that would help me get rid of the silly memories that I had in this sofa with Rigel. I sat on it and things kept coming back , there's this thing that wouldn't stop me from thinking about the goddamn thing. Oh please , help me.
I want to fucking forget about that liar who broke my heart and tore me into pieces.
"What do I do?" I talked to myself. I sighed. I grabbed a glass of water to calm myself down.
As I was super irritated and began to keep on questioning myself. I kicked the sofa and shouted so loud.
My brother , Justin walked down the stairs and asked me. "What the heck are you doing?"
"Lampuchang sofa na to'" sabi ko kay Justin at tinuro ko yung sofa.
"Oh anong problema? Mukhang bago pa naman diba?"
"Oo nga"
"So what's your problem with it?" He scratched his head and began to keep on repeating the questions he asked. "Bakit? May memories ba yan with your ex? Is it because that you hate the colour ? Or trip mo lang?"
What? Did he read my mind?
"Ano kasi ehe. Gusto ko ng bago" sabi ko sa kanya.
"Edi ipamili mo" he suggested."Sell it , there's a garage sale not so far from here. Maybe you can sell the sofa to them"
"Diba GARAGE SALE lang yun? Hindi naman trading post"
Sira ulo talaga.
"Don't worry. They have" he told me.
"Will you help me?" tanong ko sakanya.
"No" he shouted and walked away.
Pucha. Ikaw pa yung magsusuggest-suggest tas ituturndown mo lang pala? Leche ka.

I didn't know who to contact to help me. I was left with no choice. Tinawagan ko si Prince. Kapal ng mukha ko?

PRINCE
I took a bath kasi ang baho-baho ko na. Kanina pa ako nakatulala sa pader , thinking about what happened yesterday. Oh well , the past is the past. Nothing could ever change.
My phone rang.

I clicked Accept.
She called me. I answered it.

"Hi. I need help" sabi niya sakin.
"What kind of help?" tanong ko sa kanya muli.
"Come to my house" sabi niya sakin.
