/Strip 8 - Comeback

"Chris?!" Nasilayan kong pumapasok si Selena sa restroom. Gulat na gulat siya at waring may pag-aalala."Walang hiya ka, anong ginagawa mo kay Vannah!"

Kaagad agad siyang tumakbo palapit sa amin at kinuha ang braso ko, "let's go."

I just stared at her blankly then I took a peek of Gio's indescribable disappointment on his face.

Selena squeezed again my right arm and pulled me near to the door, "tara na Vannah, may kailangan tayong pag-usapan."

Bumalik ang nawawala kong kaluluwa sa sarili ko nang biglang pumasok si James sa restroom na ikinagulat rin ni Chris.

"What's going on here?" He mouthed while looking at us three.

Nagkibit-balikat naman itong si Chris. Ako naman nanatiling tahimik at pinoproseso ang lahat ng kalokohanng nangyari ngayong gabi. It was a bad idea I went into this shitty prelaunching party. Really. I shouldn't have come. Pinatuyan ko lang na napakababaw kong babae.

"Vannah? Ayos ka lang?" Kinuha ni James ang aking mga balikat. "Anyone who's present-minded enough para sabihin kung ano talaga ang nangyari?"

"No one, sucker." Selena grunted to him.

Tumingin naman si James kay Chris, "Pare, you're democrat father's looking for you."

Selena looked at him savagely mad.

"You really need to meet him, like hell. Really really hell." James continued.

Chris raised his brows, looking so hesitant. Bigla namang nagkatinginan kami. I don't know what tingling sensation went through my bones when I saw those deep blue eyes.

Kaagad-agad naman siyang lumabas at tuluyan kaming iniwang tatlo.

"Ano ba talagang nangyari? Damn it!" Balik balik na lakad ni James sa kwarto ko.

"Fuck you, don't act like you're godamn concerned!" Sumigaw naman itong si Selena. Ano bang meron kung bakit mukhang may war ang dalawang ito? Hinawakan ni Selena ang magkabila kong pisngi. "Vannah, ayaw mo ba talagang magsalita?"

I bobbed my head and lied sidewards for them not to be able to look at me.

"Fine! Fuck fuck fuck, ayaw ko nang nabibitin eh." I heard a chair clasped.

"Would you please stop nagging?!"

"I am not nagging, don't you know that I was asking concernedly?"

Di naman kumibo si Selena and she rubbed my arms to give me comfort.

"Let me stew for a while." I whispered but Selena heard me.

"Okay, just give me a call. Sa living room lang ako." Sabi niya nang may pag-aalala at naramdaman kong tumayo na siya. Narinig ko na ring bumukas ang pinto, nauna na siguro si James.

"Thanks." I breathed out.

Ewan ko ba, gusto ko munang manahimik. Masyadong mabilis ang mga pangyayari. Ang bilis bilis lahat nang makilala ko si Chris. Ang hirap kapag may bagong ginawa ka sa buhay mo, you don't know what's gonna fucken happen next. I just hugged my pillow ang cried silently the whole night.


Napaka-ingay, ang init-init. I need to get out of this club. Parang anumang oras ay pwede na akong matumba. Hilong hilo na talaga ako.

I  continued walking through the cabin's hallway though I know I'm drunk. I need to get out.

"Putang-ina naman miss!" Narinig kong sumigaw ang isang lalaki matapos ko siyang mabangga at nalaglag ang iniinom niyang beer.

Natawa naman ako at pinalo nang napakarahan ang kanyang mga balikat. "Sorry, man. I already feel dizzy that's why, ugh. I'm passing out in five minutes." I laughed and blinked my eyes to clear my vision.

He chuckled then grabbed me, putting  a hold on my waist. "Wow." He roared and I smelled the air coming from his mouth. A drunkard too.

Napayuko nalang ako at napangiti. Gustong gusto ko na talaga umuwi, pakiramdam ko babagsak na ako sa bisig nang kung sino mang gago ang humahawak sa katawan ko.

He started kissing my neck and that shocked me so I pushed him with a strong force. "Gross, I'm not up for making out. I just argued with my sister and I can't--"

Tuloy pa rin niya akong hinalikan. "Ano ba?!" Sumigaw ako kasabay ng malakas na tugtog sa club. I knuckled his balls and started running away from the club. Shit happens!

Mabuti nalang ay walking distance lang ang club na 'to sa hotel na tinutuluyan ko. I just crossed a footbridge, magkabilaang building lang kasi kaya madali ako nakarating. Mabuti  nalang ay medyo nawala ang pagkalasing ko nang muntikan na akong bastusin. No. Binastos na pala ako ng lalaking iyon. Fuck. Kaagad-agad na akong pumasok sa elevator, I took a peek on my watch and it's already 2:54 in the morning.

Nakarating na ako sa palapag kung saan ang suite na tinutuluyan namin.

I quickly grabbed out the key from my purse and started to open the door. Shit shit. Bakit ayaw bumukas? Putangina. Napatingala naman ako sa itaas ng pinto. Room 414. God, I'm screwed.

Naglakad ako ulit pakanan sa hallway with my hands washing my face. My vision's already blurry, bigtime.

I walked fastly and I bumped again with a man standing six feet tall. God, Lucas?

"Lucas," I startled at him, is he really Lucas? I tried to reach my hands on his face but he avoided.

"Miss? Okay ka lang?" I heard his husky voice.

"I am," I said groggily smiling at humarap na ako sa pinto. Room 411. Finally. I immediately opened it at di ko alam kung anong pumasok sa isipan ko nang bigla kong hablutin ang mga braso nitong lalaki na ito papasok sa aming unit.

"Miss? Wa-wait--" He said in panic.

I locked the door and I gazed upon him. I see Lucas.



That urge gave me the reason to kiss him.
And what made me taken aback is he kissed back.
Am I really drunk or is it really Lucas?
