Phase 14
"I've known you for so long you are a friend of mine..." Hilda was singing her soul out.
Kasalukuyan siyang nagtitimpla ng kape sa isang tasa na may pangalan nila ni Leo, minsan talaga ang corny ng mga couples. May pag matchy-matchy pa, maghihiwalay din naman. Kunwari matchy pero lumalandi naman kapag nakatalikod ang kapareha.
Some people with partners can't stay faithful, maybe loyal but not completely as faithful. I don't believe in faithful people now, they tend to get along with fire brought by an intruder who wants attention and affection, or worse only to flirt with. Madalas pa sa mga tuksong tao ay manira ng may karelasyon.
Anyway, loyal and faithful is different in so many ways. Loyal can cheat without getting caught, and that made them look loyal. They can tell uncounted lies, flowery words that could make us believe they won't hurt us and stay still like they haven't done anything wrong. And faithful, is a product of trust, love and understanding, this can't easily tell but do in every way of act around our partners. Faithful is blinded by all the means just for the love, so that I don't really have anything to believe such word as lie and unrealistic to get.
I grinned.
"I've known you for so long you are a friend of mine... but now that you sing, who are you?" I continued the next line like that while chuckling.
Pinatakan ko ng magic sarap ang egg yolk ng piniprito kong itlog, ngumisi ako kay Hilda nang irapan niya ako at saka dinungaw ang aking niluluto.
"Putsa, ano 'yan? Pinupurga mo sa itlog si Daksi?" napailing siya. "Not so ideal girl friend." madiin niyang sinabi at pinarinig talaga ang magkahiwalay na salitang binigkas.
Umirap ako at nilipat na ang itlog sa isang plato.
"Akin 'to, huwag kang mahadera." sabi ko. "Ikaw nga pinupurga mo ang juts ni Leo tuwing madaling araw, nangialam ba ako?"
Ngumiwi siya at pinandilatan ako ng mga mata.
"Shingina mo, friend! Kahit anong sabihin mong bastos sa akin, hindi nun mababago na "friends" lang kayo ni Daksiwawawi. Bigyan nalang kita ng jacket para hindi ka lamigin sa gabi." halakhak niya. "Kasi, Ter..." she paused for a bit and stared at me.
I arched my left brow and lifted my forehead, lumakad ako patungo sa lamesa dala ang aking pinggan na may itlog. Sumunod siya at tumayo sa harapan ko.
"O, ano, Hilda? May ishe-share ka? Download ka muna share-it para makaconnect sakin." sambit ko.
She shook her head. "I think your universe is getting horny day by day when Prian's around. Sobrang hirap na yata niyan sa universe mo. Wawa naman baka pumanghe."
Suminghap ako.
"Oh, edi, amazing. Shinginamells mo." I rolled my eyes and put one cup of rice on my plate.
Kapag umaga ay isang cup lang sapat na sa akin, hindi rin naman ako malakas kumain kaya kesa masayang ay tinatakal ko nalang para walang sobra. And this Hilda is ruining my breakfast, huh. Hindi naman yata makakapunta si Cyprian ngayon dahil magbibirthday ang anak ni Crayon, nasabi niya sa akin kagabi sa tawag.
Humagalpak siya. She's only wearing a lingerie, net lang iyon at kita na ang kanyang panty at bra. Naasiwa ako at sumubo na ng pagkain.
"Feeling ko, Ter, need mo na madiligan. Kasi, hello! You're already twenty three but you're still dry as an old maid."
"Care mo naman sa pagiging dry ko? Nagwewet dreams naman ako," tawa ko habang ngumunguya.
"Weh? Pero eto, seryosong question, nadakma mo na ba siya? How was it? Is he very dako uber the bakod of engineering ruler?"
