Chapter 27

Ginger girl

All the time of make-over she was talking to me, she even put some blindfolds on my eyes to make the results surprise for me. Nakisama na lang ako sa gusto niya and I wouldn't even want to stopped her and she might feel something that I'm not liking what she's doing... though, I think I really needed some make-over pero hindi ko lang inasahan na ura-urada. What would my parents reaction kapag nakita nila ako with a new hair color?

They might freak out!

"Alex, how would you talk to Gi?" she asked, and being blindfolded, I can almost see her smile widen up to her ears.

Napakibit-balikat naman ako sa kanya, ni hindi ko nga sigurado kung gagawin ko ba iyong sinasabi niya sa akin. Pakiramdam ko parang nagiging way niya lang ako para sabihin ko kay Korg na bumalik siya sa ex niya. It would be hard for me to talk him about this lalo na't iniilagan niya rin si Mia na mapag-usapan.

"I would suggest something," she squeaks, and I think she's almost done to my hair blowing, "put the both of us in a date..."

"Uh... at para saan naman?"

She giggles, "it is like a blind date, if you know that, you know what I mean."

Napatango-tango naman ako sa pinupunto niya, "so you're saying, that I'll put the two of you on an on-the-spot date? Gano'n ba?"

"Yes!" she exclaimed, hold my shoulders. Ramdam ko ang pagka-excited niya at ang conceited niya talaga sa ganitong sitwasyon. I don't know what will Korg's reaction kapag sinabi ko sa kanya iyon, or else kapag ginawa ko naman iyon, magagalit siya sa akin dahil pinapunta ko siya sa isang date which he will accompanied by his ex. Nakakaloka kung iisipin ko pa lang... and I don't know how to execute it without hurting someone... or even myself. "Okay, we're done!"

"I wanna see it!" kanina pa ako hindi komportable makita lang ang magiging hitsura ko.

She slowly stripped the blindfold out of my eyes. Medyo nabulag pa ako sa ilaw ng vanity mirror niya at nang mag-adjust naman ang paningin ko ay halos maluwa ang mga mata ko, napatayo kaagad ako sa kinauupuan ko.

This is...

What the hell?

Inilapit ko ang sarili ko sa salamin, ang bilis ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Hinawakan ko ang buhok ko na namumutawi ang kulay ng kwek-kwek! Agad kong hinarap si Mia and she was like surprise sa reaction na nakita niya sa akin. Gusto kong maiyak sa kanya.

"What, Alex? Didn't you like it?"

"You never said it would be this color..." nanghihina ang boses ko, "mukha akong kare-kare at kwek-kwek."

That wasn't intended to be a joke pero tinawanan niya ako. Hindi ko alam kung anong emosyon ang ilalabas ko sa kanya, natulala na lang ako at hindi na napigilan ng luha ko ang tumakas. Niyakap naman niya ako bigla dahilan para mas lalong atakihin ang emosyon ko.

"Sorry... I thought it was good on you, mas lalo ka ngang pumuti eh." Aniya, hinimas niya ang likod ko, to make me feel a lot better pero hindi iyon nagiging dahilan para makampante rin ako. I pushed her away from hugging me, "Alex?"

I wipe my tears, couldn't even look at her in the eyes. "Uuwi na ako... thank you for having me."

"Alex..." her tone was really sad, and I was only by the modifications she did on my hair. "Okay, I can give you a ride home."
