Mamili ng Isang Lalaki, Karen

Ikalabing-isang Gatas

Ikalabing-isang Gatas

Wider range? The hell I care sa wider range na yan. Batuhin ko siya gas range diyan eh. Daming alam!

I went inside my condo at dumiretso sa kwarto ko. I went to the bathroom and went straight to the tub.

Gah. I needed this, not X's words of wisdom. Kainis kasi eh. What does he know? He doesn't even know Clarence and what we have.

Hah. What we have? Meron ba, Karen?

Here I go again. Lahat na lang yata ng segundo, hindi p'wedeng hindi ko maiisip si Clarence. Hindi ba siya napapagod? I don't think so. Sanay naman na siyang manggapang. Uh, that sounded wrong in so many levels.

I closed my eyes to relax myself. But to no avail, nakita ko lang ang mukha ni Clarence na nakangiti kay Jessica.

"Good pose, Karen! Nice." The photographer kept on praising me. Alam ko naman na dyosa ako. Kailangan bang ulit-ulitin? Kainis.

I'm doing another photoshoot for CBI. I know I have to get myself some distractions so I could stop thinking about Clarence.

Eto'ng mahirap kapag one-sided love eh. Daig mo pa yung nakipag-break sa pagd-drama. Tapos yung mga kaibigan mo pang may lovelife, sasabihan ka pang maarte. Sila kaya mapunta sa kalagayan mo? Batuhin ko sila ng karayom eh.

Thanks to Clarence and Jessica, my brutality increased by a hundred percent. Naiinis kasi ako. I badly want to wipe off that smile on his face. Sa akin lang dapat siya ngingiti ng ganern!

"Excuse me, Mr. Salazar. Sir Perez wants to talk to Ms. Panghulan," rinig kong sabi ng isang babae.

"Is that so?" The photographer said as he scanned the photos. "Hmm, these shots are already enough. Karen, Mikee says Mr. Perez wants to see you."

I nodded and went to get my things. Mr. Perez? Cyriel? Ah yes, sana si Cyriel. I don't want to see Clarence yet, but I also want to see him. Labo.

Sumakay kami ng elevator and went to Bird's Tree Floor. Weird talaga ng floors dito eh.

"Mikee, bakit Bird's Tree floor? Birch Tree dapat, diba?" I inquired. Curious side kicking in.

"Uhm, ang alam ko po kasi, eto napagkasunduan nina Sir Clarence,  Sir Andrei, Sir Cyriel, at Sir Dave. Sabi po kasi nila, sila ang tirds tapos mahilig sila dumapo sa trees," paliwanag ni Mikee. "Ako lang po ba o ang green ng dating?" She made an undescribable face.

Well, ewan. Parang ang green nga. Mga kabastusan talaga ng mga lalaking 'to eh. Pasalamat sila gwapo sila. Kasi kung si Sic magdadahilan sa akin nun? Nako. Huhugutin ko si Pipay, character sa isang story na binabasa ko, at ipapaamoy ko sa kanya pempem ni Pipay.

I didn't give her an answer. Bahala siya diyan. Baka trip niya lang sagot niya. Malay ko ba kung munggo utak nito. Maliit na nga, green pa. Buti na lang dyosa ako.

Lumabas kami ng elevator at pumasok sa isang office. Nakaupo sa swivel chair si Mr. Perez at nakatalikod. Umalis na si Mikee since extra lang naman siya sa story na 'to.
