Jessica Miyuki Valdez
A long moment of silence occurred between us at ako na ang bumasag sa katahimikan.
“Si Troy ...bampira din ba sya?” tanong ko.
“He’s a vampire hunter,” pasimpleng sabi nya at malapit na akong mahulog sa kama ko nang sabihin nya yun!
SI TROY?! Vampire hunter?! So ibig sabihin... pumapatay sya ng mga kauri ni Drace?!
“Pero bakit friends kayo ni Troy?” Pagnakikita ko kasi sila di naman sila nagpapatayan.
“Who told you that we’re friends?!That kind of sh*t would never happen!” sabi nya at umupo na din sa kama. Sumandal sya sa naka-pile na unan na nasa likod ng ulo nya at nag-crossed arms. He has this annoyed expression... very annoyed.
Akala ko kaya sila di magkasundo dahil nag-away sila o ano. Pero ngayon... everything is clear.
“Kung hindi kayo friends, bakit okay lang sayo na sumasama sya tuwing lunch?”
He smirks like what I asked was ridiculous.
“That bastard never listen, he’s as stubborn as I am.” Tango lang ako nang tango.
“Eh yung Dwayne? Kilala mo din ba yun?” tanong ko ulit. Yun lang ang naaalala ko na pangalan nung lalaki sa party. Si Dwayne...
He looked at me with suspicion in his eyes and I gulped. He looks like he’s ready to strangle someone to death!
“B-Bakit?”
“How’d you know that guy?”
Natulala ako sa tinanong nya. Hindi nya naalala si Dwayne? Naalala man lang nya ba yung pagsagip nya sakin nung party?!
“H-Hindi mo naaalala?!”
“Remember what?”
“Yung party! Anong naalala mo nun?” He looked up at the ceiling, na para bang nag-iisip sya ng malalim. Kumunot ang noo nya at napahawak sya sa ulo nya.
“I only remembered saving you from the vampire strangling your neck, that’s all I remembered... and I think I passed out or something.” Yun yung pagsagip nya sakin nung una... nalimutan nya yung pagpatay sa lahat ng nandun.
“Why are you making that frightened face?” Tinuro pa nya ang mukha ko. Hindi ako nagsalita at nanatili syang nakatitig sakin. Biglang nanlaki ang mga mata nya at napa-upo sya sa kama na para bang may narealize sya.
“Are you telling me hindi si Tyler ang nag-uwi sayo dito?!” Nagtaka ako sa tinanong nya. Bakit nasali si Tyler sa usapan namin?
“H-Hindi ko alam... nung nagising ako... nasa bahay ako ni Dwayne.” From the movement of his jaw, I know he’s gritting his teeth. I winced when I saw his hands turned to fists and his eyes turned to red. Hindi ko pala dapat sinabi yun.
“That a**hole! He better hide before I see him!”
“W-Wala naman syang ginawang masama sakin. Ikaw pa nga yung nanakit sa kanya,” I grumbled as I looked away from him.
“What do you mean I hurt him?” Wala ba talaga syang naaalala? Ang weird naman nun? Bakit kaya?
“Hindi mo talaga naaalala?” tanong ko sa kanya at umiling naman sya.
“Nung pinatay mo yung bampira na nanakit sakin... yung buhok pati mata mo naging pula,” I softly said and I heard him cursed. Bigla naman nyang hinablot ang dalawa kong kamay at tinitigan ako sa mga mata ko. I suddenly couldn’t breathe.
