She's My Angel (revised)

*heaven*

CHAPTER TWO

Natigilan ako for a moment. Wait.. ano? Anong heaven pinagsasabi nito??

"Heaven? Hoy! Anong heaven pinagsasasabi mo, freak?" I mumbled in disbelief.

"You know, heaven. As in H-E-A-V-E---" sagot niya.

"Idiot! Alam ko spelling ng heaven oy. Hindi ako bobo!" =__=

"Yun naman pala eh."

Mababaliw ako sa kanya! Errr. Mayabang na, pilosopo pa. Englishero pa eh nagtatagalog naman!

"Hoy freak! Seryoso nga kasi. Naka-high ka ba o ano?"

"If you don't wanna believe me, then it's fine. Just look around you. If this ain't heaven, what else do you think it might have been?" he just shrugged and left again.

I roamed my eyes all around the place. Woah! It's back to being all white again though the floor turned yellow like gold. And sheek! Asan yung library?? Nawala yung library! Hindi naman kami umalis dito sa kinatatayuan namin kanina pa ah?!

"Waaaaait!" I called at him. "Wait freak!"

Hindi siya lumingon. He continued walking instead.

"Gay squirrel, stop!"

Anla! Dedma pa rin.

"Stooooop, Lloyd!" Teka Lloyd ba pangalan nito? "Ay hindi Lorenz pala, no Loki, Longganisa? Damn. Ano nga kasi yun? Lou.. Louie? Louie! Yes, Hey Louie stooop!"

And finally, he stopped and turned to me. "Yes?"

Haay, daming arte.

"Is this really heaven? No joke?" Tanong ko ulit.

"For the last time.. Yes, it is."

"B-but...heaven?" Parang bigla akong nanghina. "Diba, heaven is for dead people?"

"Yes, it is."

Napayuko ako.. "I mean, this place is only for dead people who have led a good life when they were still alive, right?"

"Again, yes. You are right."

"B-but I'm not one of them... I'm a bad girl, or better yet a bad, mean, selfish brat..."

"I know," simpleng sagot niya.

"Huh?! Y-you know?" nagulat ako kaya napaangat ang tingin ko sa kanya. What does he mean?

"Yes."

"R-REALLY?!"

"Yeah, I know. Actually, I know everything about you. Aside from what you've said, I know that you are also stubborn, hard-headed, flirt, slut, whore, relationship-wrecker, bitchy, party girl.."

"Oy oy oy! Wait, stop right there will you?.. OVER na yan ha. Ouch lang. OUCH!" grabe! grabe naman to kung maka-describe!

"And hmm.." he continued, not minding my complaint, "I also know that you're currently 17 and studying in college. You have a younger sister named Zia and you're a Cosplayer Queen. Oh wait! And you are a CERTIFIED BAD GIRL! Am I right, Mae Zareena Perez?"

WOW. as in capital W-O-W. Wow lang ha. Ang dami niya ngang alam sakin. How did he?

At alam niya pa pangalan ko! Di pa naman ako nagpapakilala sa kanya aa. Stalker ko ba to?! Pero ang sakit ng pagkaka-describe niya sakin? Wala man lang bang positive? =___=

"Araaaay! Tagus-tagusan ang sakit oh? Kung maka-describe naman, para akong pinana straight to my heart..." I tried to joke pero bigla rin naman akong naging seryoso upon realizing something. "B-But, you're right! Yes, I am Mae Zareena Perez, the bad girl. Then, why am I here? In heaven? Shouldn't I be in HELL now?"

"Hmmm...Absolutely! You know what? With all the bad things you have done on earth, supposedly, binabarbecue ka na ni Satanas ngayon... But, apparently, you did a good, selfless deed minutes before you arrived here. That's why you are here..."

"W-what do you mean? You've got to be kidding me?! Psh! Eh ano ba yang 'good, selfless deed' chuchu echos na yan?!"

He stared into my eyes, as if piercing into my soul... as he spoke in almost an unaudible whisper.

"Well, You... You saved me."

Processing...

Buffering...

Loading...

Grabe! Ang tagal naman mag-function nitong utak ko. Ano ba? Makapagpalit na nga ng broadband pero..WAIT nga!

Ano daw? Did I hear it right? sinabi niya bang 'I saved him?' I SAVED HIM???

Natawa ako awkwardly. Ako pa ba ang tinutukoy niya?

"Hahaha. I SAVED YOU? Wait translate ko sa Tagalog ha.. Niligtas kita?! Ha-ha-ha..Seryoso? Walang halong biro? Talaga? Really? Di nga? Weh?!" Di makapaniwalang tanong ko habang natatawa-tawa at tinuturo ang sarili.

He just nodded at me three times as an answer.

"So seryoso ka talaga?"

Tanong ko ulit habang ginugulo buhok ko.. Eh sa hindi ako makapaniwala ee. I'm a monster (Aminado ako dyan. Bad girl nga remember?), at wala akong puso kaya imposible mga sinasabi niya no! Para nyo na ring sinabing nangingitlog ng ginto ang butiki.

"No. Tao ako."

Napalingon ako sa kanya. "Weh? Joke yan?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"Actually oo eh."

"Sorry to disappoint you. Hindi ko kilala si Batman."

"Oh? Bat naman napadpad kay Batman?"

"Mortal enemy niya si Joker. And I'm not Joker. I am handsome."

At bigla pong umihip ang malakas na bagyo na nagngangalang "Typhoon Louie."

"Ha-ha-ha. Grabe ang joke mo. Whew! Tatawa na sana ako eh kaso nilipad ako ng hangin bigla," sabi ko sa kanya pero tinitigan na naman niya ako at kasabay nun, nag-echo sa isip ko ang mga katagang sinabi niya...

You Saved Me.

Sinubukan kong halughugin sa utak ko yung mga nangyari bago ako napadpad rito. Kung ano ba ang nangyari sa lupa bago ako namatay o kung namatay na nga ako. Inutusan ko na ang mga brain cells ko pero walang nangyari. Sheeet! Ano ba?! Alam nyo yung feeling na nagtetake ka ng exam. Alam mong alam mo yung sagot sa tanong pero di mo lang talaga maalala.

"AAAARGH!" sigaw ko.

Paano? Bat hindi ko maalala? Bat wala akong maalala?

"You can't remember?" tanong niya all of a sudden.

"Woah! Mindreader ka ba? Nababasa mo nasa isip ko?"

"No, I'm not and I can't. Hello, obvious naman sa kinikilos mo. Even a third grade kid can notice. Tss."

Tumalikod na lang ako. Nakakaasar tong isang to! Masyadong antipatiko. Dinaig pa ang katarayan ko. Tss! I need to concentrate.

Teka... Ano nga ba ang nangyari? Ano? Alalahanin mo Zareena! Alalahanin mo.

"Maybe, this could help." Sambit niya habang nakatalikod pa rin ako sa kanya saka siya nagsimulang kumanta.. "Party rock is in the house tonight.."

Upon hearing the first line, automatic akong napalingon sa kanya.

"Everybody just have a good time

And we gonna make you lose your mind

Everybody just have a good time~"

TING~~!

And everything flashed back into that moment. Into the last five minutes of my life...
