17. Truth

Elqenna

A perfect night, a perfect day rather, was ruined in just a matter of seconds. How did it happen?

"Good night, SuperMav!"

Okay, si Superman daw kasi siya sa buhay ko. To be true to myself, he's that guy in my life now so I didn't really argue. But then Superman has been really famous and a lot of people nowadays claimed to be that hero at ayaw ko ng may kapareha o kaagaw kaya nag-improvise kami. That's the legend of SuperMav. Korniiii, alam ko. Pinagsisihan ko na nga. There are so many things that I hate doing before but I actually have done already with Mavvy. And as always, I end up not caring at all. I have fun and it makes me happy.

"Nope. Thank you for the best first date, it's the best night. Have a good sleep, crybaby."

"Ugh. Whatever."

"Sigurado kang hindi mo talaga ako papapasukin muna sa kwarto? We can watch movies-"

"Mapagod ka sa presence ko, Maverick! Buong araw tayo magkasama plus the time is twelve, it's time for bed. Alis na. Shooooo."

"Pag nagsisi ka Frappie, I'm only one-call away."

"Goodnight, Maverick," sabi ko na para paalisin siya.

"Goodnight, Blair."

"Goodnight,"I whispered. Hindi maalis ang ngiti sa labi ko.

"Goodnight."

"Night."

"Night, doll-face."

"Mavvy, talo na ako. Tulog na tayo."

Ang lapad ng ngiti! Tsk. Pinanalo lang e. Ang saya niya like geuine happy talaga. Napakainosente. Sa sobrang pag-ooverthink ko rin ng judgment ko towards him, nanakawan niya na ako ng halik. Buti at sa pisngi lang.

Suot-suot parin ang ngiting bigay ni Mavvy, nagsara ako ng pinto para makipagyakapan na sa mga pillows ko. But before I could turn the lights on, someone already did it for me. And that's the history of how my beautiful day got ruined in just a matter of seconds.

"I was right then. May namamagitan sa inyo ng kapatid ko."

"Umalis ka dito,"pagtataboy ko.

"Elqenna, baka nakakalimutan mong amin ang bahay na 'to. Kung may dapat mang umalis rito, ikaw 'yon," he bluntly blared straight to my face.

"Tama na, Raven! Don't make me explode. Huwag mo akong sagarin, ang tagal kong nagpigil,"I warned.

"Ang anghel ng mukha mo tapos nanloloko ka ng tao at... Tama ba ang jowain mo ang kapatid ng ex mo?"

"Stop accusing me!"I cried out, not with tears this time because I held them back. "Ang kapal talaga ng mukha mo! You're making issues about me so I could forget yours! Binabaliktad mo 'ko lagi para pagtakpan ang mga kagaguhan mo?"

"Stop denying. Elqenna, umalis ka na lang, okay? 'Wag mong hintayin na kaladkarin ka ni mommy dahil nakakahiya 'yon!"

"Ang kapal talaga ng mukha mo! Ang kapal! Kapal! Ba't nga ba ikaw 'tong minahal ko e ang laki mong gago!? Get out, Raven! Just get out," I shouted at him as I pointed the door.

"No. I'm not doing that. Share the bedroom with me or just leave,"nakangising wika pa niya.

"Ito 'yong gusto mo?"

Pinunasan ko ang butil ng luhang nakawala sa mga mata ko. Nginisian ko siya.

"Alright. Fine," I said and quickly headed off to the doorway and the jerk suddenly became paranoid.
