I'm not irresponsible, I just don't want to burden myself. I'm not a playboy, women just loves me. I'm not even a badboy, I just have a unique way of expressing myself.

WINTER AIZE ALTAMIRANO

"Stupid Winter!" I cursed myself.

Kanina pa ako nakauwi at kanina pa ako nainterrogate ulit nina Mama dahil sa nagabihan na naman ako pero hindi ko sinabi sa kanila ang insidente kanina dahil baka mas OA pa sa salitang OA na naman ang magiging reaksyon nila. Baka ako na naman ang may kasalanan eh ako nga itong muntik mabiktima. Pero heto pa din ako ngayon at di pa rin ako makatulog.

Hindi maalis sa isip ko kung gaano ako kagago. I don't really intend to call her ugly, it's just my way to make her face me a while back pero it turned out a wrong move. Baka iniisip na niyang wala akong utang na loob dahil siya na nga ang nagligtas sa akin kanina ako pa itong may ganang manlait.

At first glance, kahit likod lang niya at di ko makita ang mukha niya alam ko nang maganda siya, but I didn't expect her to be that beautiful lalo na noong naaninang ko ng malapitan ang mukha niya papasok sa police station kanina. Di ko alam kong bakit siya tumakbo kanina sa gilid ng kalsada pero I was sure that she isn't fine, susundan ko sana siya pero inunahan ako ng lintek na police na yun.

I can't help but feel stupid dahil di ko man lang natanong ang pangalan niya and here I am being hunted by her pretty face in the middle of the night. Should I look for her tomorrow? Wait, baka kailangan ko munang pagalingin itong mga sugat sa mukha ko para presentable ako tingnan sa susunod na magharap kami.

This is the first time I feel insecure about the way I look. Most of the time, I feel confident kahit may galos pa ko sa mukha dahil alam kong di yun kabawasan sa kabuuan ko pero yung tingin ng babaeng yun kanina na parang wala lang ako sa kanya, it made me feel so small and ordinary. Why is that?

Pasado alasdyes na ako nagising kinaumagahan. I was wondering why Summer is still home and yet ang alam ko ay may klase pa siya since it's Friday.

"Pwes kong ayaw mo pumunta dito, ako ang pupunta dyan." Rinig kong sigaw niya habang nasa kaliwang tainga ang cellphone. I wonder who's she talking to.

"Tsk! Di mo ako mapipigilan, basta ako na mismo ang pupunta diyan kina Lola kung di ka pumunta dito." Pangungulit niya sa kausap. Di ko alam kong kanino siya nagmana sa kakulitan.

Dahil kay Summer nakatuon ang atensyon ko, di ko tuloy namalayan sina Papa at Mama na nakaupo pala sa sofa sa sala at tila inaantay lang ako bumaba. I wonder kung ano na naman ang sasabihin nila. I hope the issue of last night's incident has nothing to do with this talk. I still can't get over that girl.

"YES! Antayin kita dito sa mismong gate namin. As in now na!" tili bigla ni Summer saka ibinaba ang telepono at lumapit kina Mama.

"Ma, Pa, she's coming! Kayo ng bahala magsabi kay Kuya. Antayin ko siya sa labas." Tila bulateng galawgaw na paalam ni Summer. Dumaan pa siya sa harap ko na parang wala lang ako sa kanya.

Sino ba kasi yang darating?

"What's with Summer?" tanong ko kina Mama which made her grin so wide. Alam kong may binabalak na naman siya, sana lang hindi sa akin.

"Well," aniya saka parang poise reyna na tumayo at ngumiti sa akin.

"It took me a week to think over this and you'll have no choice but to agree with me my dear son." Pagpapatuloy niya while the creepy smile is still painted on her face. Kunot noo akong napatingin kay Papa na kibit balikat lang ang isinagot sa akin.

"Mamaya darating ang bestfriend ng kapatid mo and we have decided that starting now, you'll be in charge of her until she gave birth to her baby. Sounds fun right, Winter?" may halong sarkasmong ani Mama na siya namang lubos na ikinatutol ng sistema ko.

"Ma, Pa. You can't be serious! Me? Babysitting a pregnant lady? I'm not even the sperm donor for pete's sake!" Di makapaniwalang sigaw ko kina Mama at Papa. How could they do this to me?

Pinabalik na nga nila ako dito sa Pilipinas kahit ayaw ko at ineenjoy ko pa ang buhay New York, pag-aalagain pa nila ako ng buntis. Goodness!
Are they out of their mind?

"Come on Winter, this is just our way to teach you how to be responsible. You've grown into a trash!" Mahinahong sagot ni Papa. But none of their explainations could calm me.

"Son, you're already 24 pero wala ka pang bagay na sineseryoso. Tahimik lang kami sa mga nakaraang mga taon pero Winter, lahat ng kalokohan mo pati ang pagpabalik balik mo sa presinto sa New York dahil sa pakikipagbasag ulo, alam namin. We aren't just confronting you kasi akala namin you will learn your own lesson sa pagdaan ng panahon but NO, lumalala ka pa." Napaiwas na lamang ako ng tingin dahil sa litanya ni Mama.

Tama sila pero not everything was my fault. There are times na napagkakamalan lang ako. And it's not my fault if the authorities of New York can't understand our own definition of fun and adventure.

"And you have treated every girl like a piece of junk. Mas madalas ka pa yatang magpalit ng babae kaysa sa brief mo." Puno ng pait na ani Mama.

Burn!

And oh sh*t, she's crying. I hate it when she cries in front of me. I feel like being stabbed in my heart. I love to do everything my own way but it was never my intention to hurt my mother or my family.

"Ma, Pa, I'll stay. I'll try to be a good guy while i'm in here, just please, fuckin' please don't ever let me babysit a pregnant lady. She better look for her offspring's father." Determinado kong sabi but my mother throw me a cold and dagger look. Gone the tears in her eyes, all I see is seriousness and firmness.

Whatever she may be thinking will not be good for me, it will be lethal. I know.

"Fine. Ayaw mo kaming sundin?" I was hanging on to her every words.

"Fine. Umalis ka. Kalimutan mong may pamilya ka dito. Tingnan natin kung isa sa mga kamag-anak natin ang tatanggap pa sa'yo matapos ang kahihiyan mo. Leave. Pero Winter, wala ka nang makukuha sa amin. We'll freeze your trust fund and even your credit cards. If you are ready to suffer alone, umalis ka na. Forget us." Aniya saka dali-daling umalis sa harapan ko. Dad was left with me nang napapailing. I know na kapag si Mama na ang nagdesisyon, wala nang magagawa pa si Papa.

I hate responsibilities lalo na kapag in the first place hindi naman talaga dapat sa akin. Maybe, I can still live a life with my own resources. Di naman nila ako matitiis, I know how mom loves me so much. She'll call me back in time.

*smirk*

"Think thoroughly, son." Simpleng ani Papa saka tinapik ang aking balikat. He was about to leave when we heard my younger sister squeal.

"Ma! Pa! Kuya! "

"My preggy bestfriend is here!" Sigaw niya mula sa entrada ng pinto halatang excited na excited.

My eyes darted towards them and it automatically settled on the lady behind Summer.

I feel like the world started to spin via slow motion when our gaze met.

Oh f*ck! She's the lady I'll be going to babysit?

Damn! She's effin' hot and gorgeous with her pair of denim tops and jeans on. Her slighly curled and brownish hair complemented her well sculpted face while the rays of the sun shone brightly on her. It just added to how sinfully gorgeous she is.

CRAP!

Did she just smile on me?

Damn!

It's when I realize that my desicion is starting to get swayed.

This is lethal!
