Ikapitong Gatas
Nagising ako sa boses ng kumakanta. Bakit iniwan ni Ate Queen na nakabukas yung radyo?
Radyo ba talaga yun? Para kasing live pati tunog ng gitara niya eh.
Sumasakit ang ulo ko. Mas masakit pa 'to kumpara sa sakit ng ulo na nakukuha ko sa pasaway na umoorder ng tshirts tapos hindi nagbabayad agad.
My eyes wandered around the room.
OH MY PATOLA TALONG AT SAGING NA MAY CONDENSADA!!! Wala ako sa condo ko!!
I immediately sat up. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko. Damn it!
On instinct, chineck ko kung may suot pa ba akong damit. Baka pala na-rape na ako. Buti sana kung si Clarence yung rapist, derma lang. Hihihi.
I sighed as relief washed over me. Thank God, may damit naman akong suot. Pero kaninong damit 'to?
I opened the lamp shade beside me. And to my surprise, I saw someone looking at me.
It took me a while bago mag-load ang lahat. OH MY GOSH! BAKIT MAY LALAKI SA KWARTO?! SUMAWSAW NA BA ANG TALONG NIYA SA BAGOONG KO?!
"AHHHH!!! Walang hiya ka! May nangyari ba?!" Sinigawan ko siya pero yung mukha niya naka-poker face lang. "Hoy! Sumagot ka nga! Ipapa-pulis kita!"
He didn't answer me. Instead, nag-strum lang siya ng gitara niya at nagsimulang kumanta.
Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one
I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
I felt relaxed matapos niyang kumanta. I think I already heard his voice somewhere pero hindi ko mafigure out. Curse this headache!
Pero hindi pa rin excuse na nakakasabog ng reproductive system ang boses niya para palagpasin ko 'to!
"Sumagot ka nga kasi! Sinawasaw mo ba ang talong mo sa bagoong ko?!" This time, I asked him calmly.
He laughed at me and shaked his head. Para bang napaka-absurd ng sinabi ko sa kanya.
"Of course not. Hindi ako pumapatol sa Lola."
Did he just call me Lola? Ugh! The nerve of this guy! Walang ikinaiba kay... nevermind.
"And if you're going to ask me who changed your clothes, hindi rin ako. Si Charm, yung bestfriend ko. I'm not prepared to see a grandma's body." He stood up and placed his guitar on the stand. "Nasa dryer yung damit mo. Kung gusto mo nang umuwi, go ahead."
Inirapan ko na lang siya at humiga ulit sa kama. Sumakit na naman kasi ang ulo ko. Nakakainis na lalaki 'to!

Paggising ko, alas nuwebe na ng umaga. Wala nga pala ako sa condo ko.
"Hi! Gising ka na pala. I'm Charm," bati sa akin ng isang magandang babae.
