A Beautiful Mess

Chapter 3: The Beginning

Hindi ko na ulit siya nakita after ng Prom but now I already know her name.

"Kuya! You owe me an explanation. Who's that girl in my prom last night?" Bumisita siya sa bahay ko since hindi daw ako nagpakita sa kanya after ng party.

"I'm also asking that question to my self. Sino nga ba yung babaeng yun? Hindi mo ba siya kilala?" She throws a pillow to me. Shoot sa mukha ko.

"Kuuuyaaa. You're not funny. Tell me, she's not your ex right? Because I couldn't help my self and I will get all the hair she has on her body. Every single." She saw how devastated I am when Victoria left me. Buti na nga lang at nakapasa pa ako sa board.

"She's not. Tsaka kilala mo ba yung kapatid niya?" Elle is one of the organization's president in her school. Baka kilala niya ang kapatid ng babaeng yon.

"Yeah. She's Kenneth Santiago. Kapatid niya yun? Sino ba talaga siya kuya?" Nagulat siya ng bigla akong umayos ng upo. My sister is my savior. Buti na lang at nginangarag niya ako ngayon.

"Can you do me a favor? Please. If you really want your Kuya to be completely happy." She raised an eyebrow and giving me a weird look.

"What is it kuya?"

"Can you ask her brother what her sister's name, their address, contact number and the likes. Please."

"Do you like her?" She's different its all I can say. Hindi ko pa alam kung ano talaga yung nararamdaman ko sa babaeng ito.

"I don't know." Bigla na lang niya ako tinulak sa kama at siya yung nagpagulong gulong don. Hay nako.

"Mas gusto ko naman siya kesa doon sa witch ex mo. Even though she's simple and boyish look. Maganda parin siya." Tumayo na ako at pumunta sa cr. Useless kasi pakinig ko parin ang mga sinasabi niya.

"I will help you Kuya. It's my Help-Kuya-find-his-true-love mission. Ipaubaya mo na sa akin ito kuya." I heard na bumukas ang pinto and nagsara din so lumabas na ako ng Cr. Finally, umalis na siya.

Santiago pala. Nagbuzz ulit ang doorbell ko. Sino naman kaya ito? I opened the door and there's a girl in front of me.

"Yes? May I help you?" I said, really confused.

"I'm Marge. Ako yung pinadala ni Carlo dito for home workout service. So can I come in?" Workout? What? Shit, lagot ka sa akin mamaya Carlo.

"Sure." She smiled and enters the door. She put her bag on my sofa and starts to strech. She looks at me and I gulp.

"C'mon. Simulan na natin bago pa magtampo ang araw." she said. Hindi pa ako kumakain and I'm not working out. Never pa akong nag gym because I can keep my body fit naman.

Helplessly, humiga na lang ako sa blanket na nilagay niya and I yelled when she pulled my arms. Aghh. And she do it again and again pero nasasanay na din ako sa pain nang bumukas ang pinto. Nagulat pa kami ni Marge.

"OH MY GOD" Elle caught up doing the push ups while Marge is on my back, putting some more weights.

Lesson learned. Locked the door.

Pumunta ako sa bahay namin, where my parents and Elle lives. Hindi kasi sumasagot sa tawag ko ang kapatid ko. I have to explain. Nagpromise na kasi ako sa kanya na hindi na ulit ako magiging 'Womanizer' is her term. I tried to lessen then I stopped last year. Now she thought I'm that man again.

"Wala po dito Ser eh. Hindi pa siya umuuwi simula nung umalis siya kanina." sabi ni Manang.

"Oo. Galing siya sa akin kaso nagalit siya kaya umalis siya ng bahay. Sige. Hahanapin ko pa siya." I said. Wala naman siya sa school kasi wala silang pasok. Wala din sa favorite coffee shop niya. Yeah, she has even though may shop ako.
