DEFYING GRAVITY
CHAPTER 5
I excused myself at baka mabuking ako. "Putangina mo, Dianne!" sabi ko nung nakalayo na ako. I expected another person to call. Maybe not.
"Uy, ate may pa babe babe ka na ha?" tukso niya.
"Shut up. I'm sure may kailangan ka kaya ka tumawag" sabi ko.
"Wala, gusto lang kita kumustahin. Kung nagkaboyfriend ka na ba jan HAHAHAHAHA" ewan ko kung insulto ba yun o compliment. Minsan, napipikon ako sa kapatid ko. She doesn't really know how to shut her mouth.
"Wala akong boyfriend." sabi ko.
"Then sino yang kausap mo?" sumabat si Carter. Shit.
"Si Carter ba yun, ate?" tanong ni Dianne.
"I need to hang up" sabi ko tsaka inend yung call. Naglakad ako palayo sa kanya. I don't want to talk to him. Yes, I miss him. I miss him very much but that doesn't mean na magiging marupok ako. Gusto ko din naman maging marupok pero no, not today.
"Sino yun?" habol niyang tanong sa akin.
"Secret para bibo!" sagot ko.
"you said you don't have a boyfriend. Who is that?" tanong niya. Minsan ang kulit rin niya no? Cute.
"Fianceé ko." sabi ko. Nice.
"What's his name?"
"Leonardo" Sabi ko.
"De Caprio?" tanong niya.
"Yes. He's my fianceé" sabi ko.
"He doesn't even know how to speak tagalog!" he exclaimed. Bakit ba ang affected niya?
"Atleast he doesn't know how to break a heart" I said and smiled.
"I break your heart for you, Zy." sabi niya
"How does that make sense?" naiiyak kong tanong. Bobo ba siya? Breaking my heart for me. Did I wish to break my own heart? Bobo na lalaki.
Nag ring ang cellphone ko.
"Hello Dianne" I answered then sniff.
"Are you crying?" a deep, husky voice answered. This is definitely not Dianne.
"I-I'm not." I answered.
"Where are you?" tanong niya.
"Somewhere" I said.
He laughed, calmly. "Ang pangit mo pag umiiyak ka" sabi niya
"Shut up, Gamboa. I told you I am not crying" sabi ko. "At bakit ka tumawag? Akala ko ba hindi mo na ako didisturbuhin?" tanong ko.
"Di na kita didisturbuhin sa messenger. Iba to, text to" sagot niya.
"Pareho lang yun, Gamboa" sabi ko
"It is not, Montreal" saad niya.
"Why are you calling?"
"Wala lang, gusto ko lang madinig ang boses mo" he said. Tss, womanizer's line.
"Fuck you" I said as I raise my middle finger infront of my phone
"They say all good girls go to heaven but bad girls bring heaven to you~" he sang. Puta, kinantahan pa ako ng kanta sa Fifty Shades?
"Putangina ka" sabi ko.
"Mas putangina ka" sagot niya tsaka tumawa.
"So... Wala na tayong topic. I'll end this na"
"Wait---" di ko na siya pinatapos at inend ko na yung call. I saved his number din, in case of emergency. Di na ako bumalik sa party. Tinext ko si Jhamai na uuwi na ako.
Pagdating ko sa bahay, agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto tsaka nagbihis. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko to text Dianne that I am okay.
