Ignore and Talk
“O! Christian…” Sebastian came closer to us. He offered his hand to Yuan but Yuan jerked his hand, “woo! What’s up, man?!” Bastian smirked at him. “It’s been a while,” Humigpit ang akbay ni Yuan sa ‘kin. O God, I am aware of Benj’s eyes scrutinizing me and no other people in this place. I shivered when his eyes found mine. Kumalas ako sa akbay ni Yuan sa akin. Yuan looked at me with pain in his eyes. Napailing ako at hinarap si Sebastian.
“Bastian, not now, please,” Nagkibit balikat lang si Sebastian at umalis sa pwesto namin ni Yuan. Ito ang nagbigay dahilan sa akin para makita ko si Benj. Totally handsome, and it’s killing me. Benj really looked good right now, having shades that made him more sexy. O God, napailing ako.
But my muscles tensed when Benj started to walk to our place. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. So I just grabbed Yuan’s hand, and we walked fast until we made our way into the elevator.
“Bakit nandito siya?!” I rolled my eyes. Hindi ko rin alam. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit nandito siya…si Benj! At si Sebastian!
“Shut up!” pinindot na ni Yuan ang elevator.
“Si Sebastian…” Yuan trailed off. “…you were done with him, right?!” he added.
I stared at him, mouth opened, the shut it, “shut up! Shut up, Christian please!” Hindi ko alam, ang daming problema dumating. ‘Yung sa amin ni Sebastian, unresolve pa but I know, I was done with him. Ito naman si Yuan parang naghahanap pa ng ikagugulo. Tapos, o God, saying his name, including him to my problem is o, God, is the wrong thing but…Benj is not actually a problem, ako ‘yung problema. But thinking ways to ignore him is the hardest ever.
Bumukas ang elevator, at hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin pagkatapos. Hindi ko alam kung bakit kinuha ko si Yuan at sinama pa rito imbes na ako na lang, sarili ko na lang. Napahilamos ako ng mukha sa ginawa ko. Parang dumagdag pa ito sa problema ko.
“You still love him, Leigh. You can’t get over with him…you still,” I felt hand on my shoulder. I looked Yuan over my shoulder and gave him a dirty look.
“Shut the fuck up,” I swear.
“You’re going to marry me and you need to get over h—“
“Please! Yuan!” I think I’m gonna lose my temper because of him. Napapikit ako para mapakalma ang sarili ko. “Tapos na, okay. Tama na,” inunahan ko na siyang magsalita.
Mabuti na lang nandito na rin ang mga pinsan ko at ang kambal ko. Hindi sila umimik noong nakita nila ako, instead pumunta na sila sa room namin. Sinundan ko na lang sila. Magkatabi lang ang room namin. May room sa amin para sa girl at room naman ng mga boys. Nauna na akong pumasok sa loob at dumiretso sa kama. May tatlong kama ang kwarto.
“You don’t need to deal with all the shits you have now, cous. Enjoy this vacation and wear the bikini!” Lucy shouted and lie beside me.
“I’m excited to get tan! O Lord! This is it!” ganon din ang ginawa ni Gaile. Napangiti ako sinabi niya. Tan? Maputi kasi palibhasa ewan ko ba sa babaeng ito ang taas ng pangarap.
Pero tumayo naman agad sila. “Tara na, Leigh!” tinayo naman nila ako. Pero wala pa ako sa mood. I need to think a plan for this. Kailangan ko lang mag-isip at mapag-isa para sa sarili ko ngayon.
“Kayo muna, please. I’m okay,” sabi ko at binagsak ang sarili ko sa kama.
“Leigh naman!” angal ni Gaile.
