TULALA ako ng magising. Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakatulog kagabi, pero alam kong nahirapan ako. I glanced on the window and noticed that the sun is already up. Anong oras na kaya?
Sinuot ko ang aking damit bago dumiretso sa banyo. My nose scrunched at the stinky smell I recognize my dirt. I thought I already flashed but there was dried vomit on the floor. Binuhusan ko iyon ng nakitang body wash at tubig, mabilis na naghilamos at sinara. Muli akong umupo sa higaan at natulala.
Shawn and I kissed last night. That intimate kiss led us here, but he said sorry and left me. Ano kaya ang ibig sabihin niya? Na hindi ako pasado sa panglasa niya? Or he meant because he touches me and he is drunk. Drawn by lust, he is a man with his need and I am a woman who's the same.
I closed my eyes and covered my face with my palms. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko dahil inaasahan kong may mangyayari pero hindi nangyari. Napahiya ako. At hindi manlang ako nagpakita ng pagtanggi.
Umayos ako sa pagkakaupo nang magbukas ang pinto. It's Martin on his fresh sky blue t-shirt. He smiled shyly. "Sorry. Tanghali na kasi... at iniisip kong baka nahihiya kang lumabas. Kaya susunduin sana kita para kumain."
He is such a sweet guy.
Tumayo ako at sumunod sa kanya sa labas. Wow! Walang bakas ng party ang paligid. Malinis ang bawat sulok, iisipin mong corporate ito. I heard the voice of the boys on the upper deck. Sa pangunguna ni Fred na minumura si Collin. All the boys are there except, Shawn and of course Martin.
Hindi nila kami napansin na nagdaan. Dumiretso kami sa kusina. May nakahain ng pagkain doon, nakita ko pa 'yung girlfriend ni Martin. Tumayo ito at binati ako.
"Thank you," sabi ko nang ialok niya sa akin ang hawak na chicken pie.
"Kape ba, Serene o orange juice?"
I miss the native coffee that Shawn gave to me yesterday. "Orange juice, please. Thank you, Martin." Dumampot ako ng croissant bago luminga. "Where is Shawn?"
"Nasa kuwarto. Nagulat nga akong nasa sofa paggising—" He looked at the woman on my side, his cheek reddened before he continued, "—namin."
He sneaked someone's moment, while he broke ours. Very good, Shawn. Very good. "Thanks," I said as I received my orange juice.
Umingay ang kusina ng dumating sila Fred, Collin, Oswold, at Paulite. Nagtatawanan sila habang hinihila ang isang malaking palanggana na may lamang malaking tuna. Si Paulite ang nakahuli. The girl beside me sat on the side and interviewed the boys.
Nakaramdam ako ng inggit dahil mukhang kilala nito ang mga lalaki, samantalang ako ay nangungunyapit sa gilid. Pinapanood ang masarap na tawanan nila.
"Dalawa dapat 'yan. Local kasi 'yung Shimano ni Fred kaya naputol 'yung pisi," tukso ni Collin.
The young Oswold is laughing heartily when his eyes found me. "Good morning, Serene. Come over here. Wanna check the fish?"
Nasa likod niya sa Paulite. He is smoking when he glanced inside to see her. Humithit buga ito bago tinapon ang kanyang sigarilyo. Umakbay sa balikat ni Oswold. "Kagabi ko pa iniisip kung sino ka. Now I knew it. Does Rocky wouldn't break this Yacht if he found out that you were here?"
