Still You #Wattys2018

SY: Chapter 20 - Hard Headed

Zaila's POV

"Isa pang Jack Daniels." Order ko sa bartended. "Mam tama na po. Lasing na lasing na po kayo. Baka po mapagalitan ako ni Sir. Andy sa ginagawa ninyo." Sabi nya habang nakatingin saakin.

"What do you care?? Kung mapapagalitan ka *hik* man nya edi pagagalitan ko rin sya." Kinuha ko ang collar nya at nilapit sa mukha ko ang mukha. "Now, give me *hik* my drink." I said. Pinakawalan ko na sya.

I want to be drunk. Itong alak na lang ang kakampi ko at ang karamay ko. Itong alak na to na lang ang lagi kong sandalan pag may problema ako tas ipagkakait pa saakin?? No way. No freaking way.

"Want to be someone to talk to??" I glanced at the blury image of a guy. This guy is handsome from the built of his body and his muscles. "May problema ka ba Miss?? Nakikita kita dito minsan kaya lang hindi ka naman masyado umiinom." He said.

Pinaglaruan ko ang lemon sa isa sa mga shot glass ng tequilang ininom ko kanina. "Baka mauwi sa depression yan. Kaya ilabas mo na yung gusto mong ilabas." Tiningnan ko sya. He's image was now clear. So I can see his jawline and his face clearly.

"If you saw your loved ones *hik* with someone else what will you gonna do??" I ask out of nowhere. "Is that my loved one's happy with that someone else??" He asked. I nodded.

"Then I'll let her with him, kasi masaya sya e. Bakit ko pa sisirain ang kasiyahan nya??" I smiled bitterly. "You know what?? Bakit kung sino *hik* pa yung nagmamahal, sila pa yung nasasaktan??"

"Everything has a reason Miss. If you have a problem, kayo ng boyfriend mo. You'll gonna survive it. Kasi binigay saatin yan para subukan tayo." I nodded again and close my eyes.

"Do you have a girlfriend??" I meet his gaze. "Yes, I have. And I really love her."

"Then what are you doing here??" I asked again. Maganda to na may nakakausap ako. He's right baka mauwi sa depression ang ginagawa ko so mas mainam na paminsan-minsan ay may makausap ako.

"Nag-away kami e." I gasp. "Thanks for you adviced but could you please leave me alone?? Mag-iisip isip lang ako." I said.

"Oh sure. Basta pag kailangan mo ng kausap. I'm free. This is my business card by the way." Nilapag nya sa counter ang card na binasa ko naman.

Jasper Jung
CEO of Jung Corporation

"Thanks Jasper." I said and bowed my head. Muntik na akong ma off balanse dahil sa ginawa ko but gladly he catched me. "Be careful Miss." He said at saka ako sinandal sa counter. "I'm going." Nakangiti nyang sambit.

I waved my hand at him until he vanished in my eyes. Tiningnan ko ang bar tender na nakanganga dahil sa mga nangyayari. Itong bar tender na to ay ang bar tender na lagi akong pinapabantayan ni Andy noon kapag pupunta ako dito.

Like he's my guard or something.

"Give me another shot of burboun." Sabi ko saka tumango sa counter.

Nilagok ko ang alak na inabot saakin saka ko inopen ang message icon ko. I saw the text from Denise, searching for me. I replied.

To: Denise

I'm ok. Don't worry about me.

From: Denise

Asan ka?? Umuwi ka na.

Hindi ko na sya nagawang replyan uli dahil biglang sumakit ang sintido ko kaya hinilot ko pa ito. "One more." Order ko. Nanginginig pa ang kamay nya habang inaabot saakin ang shot glass kaya hinablot ko na ito at ininom ng buo.

"Ok na *hik* I'm going." I said and stood up. Napahawak ako sa stoll ng biglang umikot ang paningin ko. I'm tired I want to sleep. "Mam ok lang po ba kayo??"
