Chapter 35: Drunken
Steven's Point Of View
It was the masked woman from before.
Lumunok ako ng wala mula sa nakita ko. Heto nanaman ang weirdong pakiramdam na iyon na sa babaeng ito, at kay Christa ko lamang nararamdaman. Don't get me wrong, hindi ako two timer, it's just that.. gah. It's weird.
Kaagad ata nitong napansin na nakatayo lang ako sa may pintuan ng balkonahe at nakakatitig sa kaniya, kaagad itong lumingon at naglakbay ang paningin patungo sa dereksyon ko. Sa aking palagay, at sa isip ko, puno ng kuryosidad ang kaniyang mga titig saakin, hindi naman ako nag-iwas ng tingin pagkatapos. Sinalubong ko ang titig niyang tinatago ng suot niyang maskara, and for the nth time now, I wished to remove that offending piece of clothing from her face.
Is it her hair that made me feel this way? Dahil ba may pagkakapareho ang avatar niya at ni Christa? Is it her fighting style? It's similar to how our Christa fought. I don't know anymore. Gulong gulo na ako at hindi ko na alam ang gagawin.
" Yes? " tanong nito na kaagad na nakapagpabalik sa akin sa katinuan. Lumapit ako sa railings ng balkonahe at bumuga ng marahas.
" The party isn't my thing. " sagot ko dito sa isang naiinis at nabuburyong na tono. Natawa naman ito, something that immediately caught my attention. Mabilis pa sa alas kwatro ko siyang nilingon sabay ng mga halakhak niya.
It sounded so genuine, so real. It sounded very familiar, and it made me smile as well. Parang si....
Ano ba, Steven! Stop comparing her to Christa! They are two different personas!
Oh, are they?
Muli akong marahas na napabuga ng hangin, sabay ng paghinto ng babae sa pagtawa. Nakakainis na maging ang sarili ko ay tila kinokontra ako.
" Sorry for laughing-" wika nito. Akala siguro niya ay hindi ko ikinatuwa ang pagtawa niya. Well, akala niya lang 'yon. I like it, I like it very much. It's making me want to get to know her more.
" No, no. It's not that. " saway ko sa kaniya at ngumiti, pagkatapos ay muling ibinuka ang bibig para magsalita, ngunit hindi ko inaasahan ang mga sumunod na lumabas sa bibig ko.
" It's just that you make me feel elated and confused at the same time. It's irritating, but it's also making me want to know you more. "

Christa's Point Of View
" It's just that you make me feel elated and confused at the same time. It's irritating, but it's also making me want to know you more. "
My eyes bulged out from behind the mask I was wearing as soon as I heard what Steven has to say. Hindi ko inasahan ang kaniyang sinabi, at hindi rin ako sigurado kung ano ang tinutukoy niya.
Pakiramdam ko ay nag-init ang mga pisngi ko, at laking pasasalamat ko na lang na natatakpan ng isang maskara ang mukha ko ng mga pagkakataong iyon. It would've been very embarrassing for this man to know how he made me blush.
