Heights

Ilang minuto rin ang nakalipas sa pag tatanong ko kung nasaan ang restroom or ang bathroom. All I got were the same replies which consist of groans, eyerolls, and pathetic shrugs. Kaya nabagot ako at ako nalang mismo ang nag try na hanapin ng sarili ko kung nasaan nga 'yon. Umakyat ako ng second floor, nagbabaka sakaling nandon ang hinahanap ko. I climbed up the stairs, staggering and nearly falling backwards, but I made it to the top. Then I went down the corridor filled with people making out or drinking. I opened one door one by one to check for the restoom or bathroom.

"Whooops!" Sabi ko, as I awkwardly closed the door.

"Uh, tanga kaba? Bakit ako sasali sa inyo? Gago!" Sabi ko sa kanila, and closed the door as fast as I could.

Humilig ako sa dingding, hinihilot ang aking sentido dahil ang sakit ng ulo ko. Hawak ko parin ang baso ko na may lamang Sangria. Bakit iba ang epekto nito sakin? Sa pagkakaalam ko ay hindi alak 'to! Mukha lang itong juice.

"Imo?"

Tumingala ako nang marinig ang pangalan ko. Down the corridor there was a bright light given it was because there was an open door to a lit up room lighting up the dark corridor. But right in front of it was a guy, being illuminated by the light. Gulong gulo ang kanyang buhok at malamig ang titig sa akin. Umiigting ang kanyang panga dahil sa irita at nang nagtagal ang titigan namin. He began to walk towards me. I began to walk towards him. Then my walking became jogging that became running.

It was like those romantic movie scenes when two people are finally reuniting and are slow running towards each other with music. But it was as if the music was cut off by a record scratch when I shoved my drink into Radleigh's hands.

"Pakihawak muna," Sabi ko sa kanya at nilagpasan siya.

Radleigh blinked, "Wait, what—"

He was cut off by the slam of the bathroom door that was behind him. A few minutes later, I left the bathroom and let out a sigh of relief.

"Hindi mo alam kung gaano kita katagal hinanap—"

Hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko, when he pulled me into a tight hug. I stood there with my eyes widened, ang utak ko ay pinoproseso parin ang nangyayari ngayon. Hindi ko siya mayakap pabalik. Sumubsob lamang ang mukha ko sa kanyang matikas na dibdib. Lumakas ang kabog ng puso ko nang marinig ang kabog ng kanyang puso.

Kaya talaga attracted ako sa mga matatangkad na lalaki dahil kapag niyakap mo'y maririnig mo ang pag tibok ng puso nila. Kasi matatapat ang tainga mo sa kanilang mga dibdib.

"I was so worried," Namamaos niyang sabi, "Where were you? One minute you were there, and then the next minute you were gone. I've been looking for you for hours."

Kumalas siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin. Hinawakan naman niya ang balikat ko at diretsong tiningnan ang mga mata ko. His bright dark brown eyes were still frantic with worry. Masasabi ko ngayon na sobra ang pag aalala niya sa akin, at irita sa kanyang sarili.

"Hindi mo kasalanan, kundi ako. Hindi dapat ako nanood—"

Inilapat niya ang noo niya sa akin, "No, it's my fault. Just don't ever do that to me again, Imo. I thought I lost you. I was so damn scared, so worried..." Napatingala siya at napalunok ng sunod sunod, "Hindi normal na party ang pinuntahan natin ngayon, I kept on thinking, something must have happened to you. If something did? I would have never forgiven myself."

Namuo ang luha sa aking mga mata. Hindi ko aakalain na ganito siya mag alala sa akin ngayon. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at bago pa siya magsalita at agad ko siyang niyakap, burying my face into his shirt.
