Nandito ako ngayon sa isang mall. I don't know what mall is this but I think this mall is very familiar. As I walk, I saw a crowd. They were watching a program na hindi ko alam kung ano. Then I saw this boy. Mukhang pamilyar yung mukha niya at hugis ng katawan niya. He was standing at the back of the crowd, watching the person on the stage. Pagkatingin ko, I saw this girl. She was about to go down the stage. Tapos na siguro yung performance niya.
Nilapitan ko yung guy na nakita ko. He was still standing behind the crowd. Nung medyo malapit na ako, I saw the girl on the stage na kausap siya. It's not that I'm eavesdropping pero malinaw kong naririnig yung pag-uusap nila kahit na medyo malayo ako.
"No, don't explain anymore. I knew it from the start." The guy said, sadness is evident in his voice.
May sinabi pa yung lalaki pero hindi ko maintindihan. Bakas na bakas sa mukha nilang dalawa na nasasaktan sila. Lumapit pa ako ng konti, nagbabakasakaling maintindihan ko yung pinag-uusapan nila.
"Yeah you're right. It's just a friendly gesture." The girl said. Bitterness is heard in her line. Mukhang maiiyak na yung babae. I saw her sad eyes, I guess she's fighting back the tears that may flow anytime from her eyes. May sinabi pa yung babae pero hindi ko maintindihan.
"I love you, but I really can't continue this anymore. I don't want to get hurt again." The guy was still uttering something when I felt someone tapped my shoulders and started to shake me.
"Babe"
Hindi ko pinansin yung tawag ng kung sino mang babae ang nasa likod ko. I wanted to know what the guy said, pero hindi ko pa din sila marinig. Then I saw the guy, he started to walk away from the girl, never looking back.
"Babe, gising ka na." Binulungan ako sa tenga. Then I felt warm as someone hugged me. Niyakap ko din siya pabalik. Pagmulat ko ng mga mata ko I saw him.
"TAN*%#@ naman oh!" tinulak ko siya sa kama "Umalis ka nga diyan sa harapan ko!"
"Aray naman! Eto naman kung palayasin mo ako kala mo kama at kwarto mo to. Kama ko to! Kwarto ko to!" Sabi niya, habang inaayos niya yung sarili niya sa pagkabagsak.
Sh*t, si Travis lang pala to, akala ko kung sino.
"Pasensya naman. Makapang gulat ka naman kasi, may pa-babes babes ka pang nalalaman, tapos niyakap mo pa ako." Kinilabutan ako bigla. "Nababading ka na yata sakin eh" sabi ko pa. Nag-smirk lang ang bata.
"Ako? Bading? No way!" depensa naman niya. Nakaupo pa din siya kaya inabot ko yung kamay ko para alalayan siyang tumayo pero tinapik lang niya to.
"Wag na, i can handle myself" itong batang to. Bakit nga pala ako nasa kwarto nitong kapatid ng bestfriend ko?
"Bat nga pala ako nandito Trav?" Ang alam ko lang kasi, may party kagabi, kasama ko yung mga barkada ko pati yung mga chicks tapos wala na akong maalala.
