My one true love

Chapter #6: Drunk

Ugh. Party nanaman. Gabi-gabi na lang ba ganito?
I went inside Maine's house and decided to greet her before I do anything else.

"Hey."

"Huy, buti nakapunta ka."

"Ah, yeah."

"Why didn't you bring Rama with you?"

"Its Raffa actually. And hindi ko na rin sinama, dahil baka kung anong gawin nun."

Maine laughed.

"Grabe ka sa fianće mo ah! Kelan nga ba kasal nyo?"

"Next month."

The smile on her face faded. Then she looked away so I cannot see her dissapointed look.

"Is everything okay?"

"Ah, yes. Sorry 'bout that. Doon na tyo sa game room?"

"Andun ba sina Je at Val?"

"Oo naman! Baka nga kung ano na ginagawa nun eh. Tara na?"

"Sige.."

While we walk upstairs...

"Kamusta nga pala kayo ng boyfriend mo?"

"ah, si Isaac? Nasa ibang bansa sya. Next January ko pa sya makikita."

"Next January? Bakit?"

"Di ko rin alam. Work daw eh."

"Diba mahirap un?"

"Mahirap, Oo. Pero hindi ko na kaya eh, hihiwalayan ko na rin sya. Hirap noh?"

"Ng ano?"

"Hirap ng humanap ng tao na pwede mong pagkatiwalaan sa puso mo? Buti ka pa nga eh, nandyan na si Raffa."

Then we both became quiet. We arrived at the game room and saw Je and Val already playing.

"Huy, Den! Buti nakapunta ka! Akala ko tatalikuran mo nanaman kami!"

"Tatanggihan ba naman kita?"

"Aysus! I lab you talaga, Richard Polkerson!"

Je shouted. Maine and I sat beside them then Val suggested a game.

"Laro tyo, spin the bottle. May sasabihin kayong bagay from your experience, tas kapag nai-experience na ng iba, iinom kyong dalawa, or tatlo, or tayong lahat. Pero pag-hindi, edi hindi."

"Game!"

We all shouted. The bottle pointed at me first.

"Umm... Naging crush ng bayan?"

Only Je raised his hand.

"Maniwala?"

"Oo nga! Ayaw mo maniwala dahil nagseselos ka lng eh!"

Je answered Val.

"Kapal ng mukha mo! Sige, inom!"

Je and I drank a shot then sighed. Then it was Val's turn.

"Laging ginagawang muse o kaya escort."

Maine and I raised our hands.

"Yowwnn! Nagpapartner kyo?"

"Kaya nga muse and escort diba?"

"Ay, oo nga pala. Sige, inom na tyo!"

Then we drank some more. After 18 more rounds, everybody got drunk.

"Meng, Den, uwi na kami!"

"Huy, ingatan mo si Val ah! Mamaya kung anong gawin mo dyan..."

"Loko ka talaga, Menggay! Sige na, bye na!"

The two went home, then Maine went back to Alden, who was very, very, drunk.

"Alden... Tawagan ko ba si Raffa para sunduin ka na?"

"Huh? No. I can do it."

"Alden, tawagan ko na lng si Raffa. I insist."

"Hindi na!"

"Ang tigas talaga ng ulo mo, ano?!"

"Wag mo kong sigawan!"
