The Bitter And The Bad Boy

Chapter 53: Awake

For you..

'because.. i do it.. just for you..'

For you..

For me..

me?

but..

why?

why.. me..

his voice. his voice, when he said those words are the only thing that i could remember. ever since i lied down in my bed

'Ding!'

dinig kong tunog ng aming large antique clock signalling na alas dose na nga. napabuntong hininga na lang ako ng malalim sabay tanggal ng kumot na nakabalot sakin, bumangon ako sabay tayo sa higaan ko. i opened my bedside night lamp na may design na stars at moon sabay ang kulay ng stand is violet na kapag tinurn-on mo yung dancing mode eh.. may lullaby na magpa-play na pampatulog (na according to my own experience effective naman..) at kasabay nun ang pag-ikot ng mga stars, moon, planets, comets, asteroid at iba pang mga heavenly bodies na nakacarved sa top cover ng lamp..

okay, i give my lamp a good look at narealize na medyo luma na ito.. sabi nila it was given to me by My Childhood Friends who they say happens to be A twin and they even told me that i am really close with The Twins na hindi ko na maalala kung sino at kung nakilala ko nga ba talaga sila, pero i believe Manang Alma since she's the one who told me the story with a real genuine twinkle in her eyes na para bang hangang hanga siya sa friendship namin ng Twins na yun and she also told me that with a different emotions na para bang somehow nanghihinayang siya and pure sadness on her voice when she said her last line before ending her story

"..sayang nga lang.. at nagkawatak-watak kayo. sayang siya.."

yun ang huling line na sinabi ni Manang Alma bago niya tapusin ang kwentong iyon pero ang problema nga lang nakalimutan kong tanungin kung anong pangalan ng dalawang yun dahil nga sabi ni Manang Alma sumakit daw ang ulo ko nung kinuwento niya yun tapos hinimatay daw ako. and she re-tells me the story again but she seems to be careful with each words that she lets out kaya i didn't push anymore further.

i heaved a deep sigh at sabay tayo sa higaan ko at lumabas na ako ng kwarto ko, i looked at my right to see the large antique clock that says..

12:00 am..

thursday na. at may pasok pa.. pero i just couldn't bring myself to sleep. and why? 'coz whenever i tried to close my eyes i can only hear Impakto's voice in my head saying the same thing over and over (na somehow calming, soothing but at the same time bothering and confusing) at isa pa whenever i opened my eyes a fuming headache always comes and hit me

bumaba na ako para pumunta sa kusina at uminom ng tubig dahil kanina pa akong 10 pm humiga hanggang ngayon gising na gising parin ako. nilagpasan ko ang madilim na sala at dumiretso na sa dimly lit na kusina

i went straight at the fridge and then take the pitcher full of cold water sabay kuha ng baso at ipinatong ko ito sa island sa gitna ng kusina. nagsalin na ako sabay inom ibinaba ko na ang basong ininuman ko

"bakit gising ka pa?"nagulat ako sa nagtatakang boses ng ama ko na medyo ikinatalon ko ng kaunti, napahawak ako sa aking dibdib dahil sa gulat, then my father chuckled at my reaction then he sat at the chair just behind the island that i am standing on

"umm.. i-i.. i just.. couldn't sleep."medyo nauutal-utal kong sagot sa ama ko who looked at me questionably and suspiciously na para bang hindi siya satisfied sa sagot ko

"because.."pag-dadragged out niya ng tanong with a slight mischievous look on his face, i must be honest my dad sometimes act so serious but when around us, he always becames the crazy, silly and the mischievous dad that we know

"dad.. its nothing.."sagot ko habang nailing with a 'trust-me' look on my face, na ikina-scoff niya lang with matching halukipkip pa na parang bata

"what you say..?"pangaasar ni dad sakin pero alam kong hindi niya ako papakawalan sa tanong na'to, lalo na't na-corner niya ako kahit bukas paniguradong kukulitin niya ako kung sakaling hindi ko siya sagutin ngayon pero.. i wouldn't back down so easily..

"dad, dad, dad, dad, ITS NOTHING~~"i tried matching his silliness mustering up all my energy and pride before doing this silly things, na may matching patalon-talon pa while clasping my hands infront of my chest with a wide grin on my face

"hmm.. nah, it won't work.."my dad just shrugged and scoff at me as if knowing na gagawin ko ito, napabuntong-hininga ako sabay..

"APPA!! JEBALYO~~"[Please~~] pag papa-cute ko sa tatay ko para patakasin na ako sa pang-iintriga niya. i remember the last time that i use it was a few years ago but i only do this infront of the people that i know and im close with, and im so humiliated.

napasingkit ang mga mata niya sabay nag-grinned ng pagka-laki laki

"aww.. aigoo~ my daughter is so.. kyeo~"[cute~] sabi ni dad pero after a few minutes i stop doing so.. after a few minutes of my father almost squealing like a schoolgirl at me (lmao..) he suddenly turned serious

"what?"he asked again but with dead seriousness in his face (i can't believe the duality of my father.) i heaved an stressful sigh then i looked sown and shut my eyes closed and after that i looked up at my father seeing him in still in his scoff position. i sighed again, here we go..

"its about.. a guy.."panimula ko at hindi ko sinusubukang tumingin ng diretso sa tatay ko (pero kahit hindi naman medyo madilim rin dio kaya hindi ko rin makita ang reaksyon niya..) and i seem to steal his attention dahil he suddenly snapped my head at me then he leaned at the island even more while (maybe..) staring at me intently like he wanted me to tell another information

"and..??"tanong ni dad with no emotion in his voice pero hindi naman monotone voice ang gamit niya he just seems emotionless

"and.. he keeps confusing me."i gave out i mean, what's the point on trying o get away from this topic im cornered and besides my dad knows me best..

but what i said is just the truth..

he..

i mean Impakto..

really keeps on

confusing me..
