GAIL'S POV

Hindi talaga ako makaget over sa nangyari kahapon. I was really stunned of what had happened. Parang ang sarap iuntog ng ulo ko sa pader tuwing naalala ko na kinonfront ko si Kurt tungkol sa cursed frappe na yun! All along, I thought it was from him, but hell, it was from Fifth... maybe? He did not tell me it was from him though. I mean, I've asked him gazillion times yesternight and yet he kept on denying about it. The ironic part is... he was sipping his frappe while denying it to me.

"Fifth," I called him out soon as I got downstairs. I caught him typing on his lappy, serious expression's plastered across his face.

"Yeah?"

Hindi man lang siya tumingin sa akin. Mukhang busy nga siya sa kung anumang ginagawa niya. "Hindi ba talaga---"

"Hindi nga," seryosong sabi niya.

Napasimangot naman ako. How could he still deny it when I know for sure that it was obviously from him! Kitang-kita ko na may hawak din siyang frappe kagabi. Although, umaga ko natanggap ang akin. Ah, basta! I believe it was really from him.

"Alam mo Fifth, hindi mo naman kailangang magdeny eh," I paused a bit and folded my arms across my chest. Still, he did not dare to give me a single glance. "You know what, I really appreciated it. Thank you."

I heard him tsk-ed before looking up at me. Seryoso lang siyang nakatingin sa akin, until I saw his forehead forming a frown. "Well then, if you still insist. Sige, sa akin na galing yun. Kagabi mo pa ako kinukulit."

I grinned victoriously. I knew it! Siya nga ang mystery sender ng frappe na yun. But eventually, the grin on my face brushed off when I remember the thing I did to Kurt yesterday. Gee! Did I really confront and accuse him about that God-amn frappe? Hell nooooo....

"Hey. What's with the worried face?"

I drew a deep breath and bit my lower lip. Naku, ano nalang ang iisipin ni Kurt sa ginawa ko? Sa inasta niya palang sa akin kahapon, it was like he assumed that I'm still interested with him!

I threw a death glare to Fifth as I shook the thought off my mind. "Ikaw kasi eh!"

"What again?" He eyed me with his innocent set of eyes.

Napapadyak nalang ako sa sahig at tinungo na ang doorway. Tumayo siya para sundan ako, pero 'di ko siya pinansin.

"Susunod pa rin ba ako sa office?"

I glared back at him and snorted, "It's all your fault!"

This would be a bad day for me for sure. Kakasimula pa lang ng araw pero naiinis na ako. Miski sa pagkuha ko ng taxi ay nahirapan pa ako. Tinatanggihan ako ng mga napapara kong taxi dahil under construction daw yung road na dadaanan papunta dun. Ugh! I hate this day! Kung may time pa sana ako na i-list down lahat ng plate numbers ng mga tumatanggi sa akin na taxi drivers ay ginawa ko na.

Napaupo nalang ako sa long bench sa waiting shed kung saan ako naroroon. Tinignan ko ang oras sa wristwatch ko at napabuntong-hininga nalang ako sa inis nang makitang past 10 na. Ano'ng oras pa ako makakarating sa office? Shocks... Good thing I changed for the better. If not then I'd probably spit curses out of this lovely mouth of mine.

Pinapadyak ko lang ang paa ko sa inis tuwing may pumapara na taxi sa harapan ko. Life's unfair, indeed. Yung mga taong kakarating lang para pumara ng taxi ay mabilis na nakakakuha ng taxi, unlike me, I've been waiting like forever but still they always neglected me.
