despedida de solteira

why did you kiss me back?

bakit nga ba? teka bakit ako nagtatanong. ako yung tinatanong tama ba? at di ba pag tinatanong ka sasagot ka lang? bakit ako nagtatanong? kasi hindi ako makasagot. bakit hindi ako makasagot? bakit?

hindi ba dapat malinaw. malinaw sa isip ko kasi gusto ko lang makasigurado? gusto ko lang naman malaman kung bakit ako nagawang iwan ng babae na minahal ko?

maine stood up

i'll get another drink. do you want another beer?

mabilis na tinungo ng dalaga ang ref. kulang siguro ang nainom nya. simple lang naman ang tanong di ba? bakit di nya masagot? bakit hindi nya alam kung ano ang isasagot?

hindi nga ba nya alam. o baka naman gusto lang nyang magdahilan. dahil gusto nyang iwasan ang isang pagkalito sa kanyang isipan.

are you trying to buy time?

she closed her eyes when she felt his presence behind her. what was it? how come his existence brew a twitch in her system.

she turned around and came face to face with someone from mars she never bore any excitement or any yearning for...

....before

mahirap ba ang tanong ko?

no

so why can't you answer.

hindi ibig sabihin na kapag madali ang tanong madali din ang sagot

she tried to move pass him. but he did not let her.
he placed his hands on the fridge in between her shoulders and looked straight in her eyes.

alden paraanin mo ako

ask the basal ganglia. it's the nuclei that works with the cerebellum to coordinate fine motions even the slightest fingertip movement. ayaw kasing gumalaw ng mga kamay ko

she should have just slapped him, right? his demeanor screams nothing but egotistical. raise your hands and slap him. hard. move.

or ask him to leave. this is your room. you just invited him in. and this is not how a guest should be treating the host.

you wanna slap me but your hands remain immobile. now both of us are stuck with this brain nuclei. hindi ako gagalaw hangga't di mo sinasagot yung tanong ko

he knew for a fact that he sounded conceited but the cortex, ventricles and cerebrospinal fluid of his brain were all tangled up. it's like every neuron and axon of his brain are having a debate of its own

he wanted an answer. for now he will not care if this is difficult for her. because he has to know. for his own sanity that wrecklessly demands a retort to his own self-argument

her eyes never left his. but what she can't figure out is, why does his personage depletes her wherewithal. what does he have? why is it that he can impede her aptitude. why does her dominant personality now wants to submit

hindi ko alam yung sagot

that was partly an honest answer.

maine's personality is ascendant as well as authoritative. she does not know how to be docile and obliging to anyone without any proven point, so when her uprooted self came across this new feeling. she's at a current state of confusion that she does not want to address

would you like me to help?

her heart raced. she wanted to move. she wanted to move but whether to move away or move closer is the question.
