Pauwi na ako nun galing sa trabaho. As usual, ako lang mag-isa. Di ko na kasi siya kasabay umuwi eh, magkaiba na kami ng shift.
Paakyat na ako nun ng overpass papunta ng mall, nasa dulo kasi nun yung terminal ng jeep na sasakyan ko.
Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng paglalakad nung nag-ring yung phone ko, and I saw him calling.
"Hello?"
"Hi, baby. Where are you?"
"Baby my ass. Pauwi na. Bakit?"
"No. I mean, where exactly are you?"
"Bakit ba?"
"Just answer me."
"Para namang 'pag sinabi ko susulpot ka bigla dito sa tabi ko."
"Why don't you try it?"
"You know what, Mr. Dela Vega, kung wala kang magawa, matulog ka na lang."
"Oh. Poor, little Bobby. Neglected by his baby."
"Hoy. Tantanan mo lang ako sa baby-baby na yan ha. Kaya ka inaaway maya't maya ng girlfriend mong hilaw eh." Napaka-harot!
Pagkapasok ko ng mall nakita ko yung isang store na puro stuff toys. Nice. Blue Magic. Sakto, may bibilhin nga pala ako dito. So hayun, pasok sa loob.
"Who said I have a girlfriend?"
"Duh! Pinagkakalat lang naman ni Chelsea sa buong campus na mag-on kayong dalawa!"
"Oh! Wait a sec. She's not my girlfriend, I'm not even talking to her for fvck's sake! And, do I smell jealousy inside Blue Magic?"
Blue Magic? How did he know that I am here?
"Surprise!"
Tinignan ko lang siya.
"Is that how you treat your oh so handsome boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend? You? Says who? So, anong ginagawa mo dito? Off mo, di ba?"
"Chill! Daming tanong agad. Na-miss kita eh."
Mukha nito. Wag mo 'kong daanin sa paganyan-ganyan mo naku. Mahuhulog ako ng tuluyan sa'yo nyan, di mo pa man din ako masasalo.
Yeah, I like him. He's so cute, so kind, protective, gentleman, smart. Medyo baliw lang yan kasi palagi ako pinagttripan, gumaganti na lang ako ng pangttrip sa kanya pag nasakto sa pagkakataon.
"Pwede ba? Tigilan mo lang ako, Bobby."
"I'm serious."
"Yeah, you sure are."
But I do, I really miss her. I got mad when she told me what happened two days ago.
Natutulog siya sa jeep nun, pauwi na siya. As usual, di niya ako kasabay. Magkaiba na kasi ng oras shift namin eh.
Going back. So, ayun nga. Nakatulog siya sa jeep. Wala naman problema sa posisyon nya, pinatong niya siko nya sa tuhod niya, then put her face on her palm, then slept. What made me mad? Naalimpungatan siya na yung katabi niyang guy sa kanan niya is literally leaning on her. WTF!
Hindi ko yun ginagawa sa kanya pag kami ang magkasama, even though I was tempting to do it, FFS. Tapos that fuckin' guy? I swear if I will find out who he is, better say sorry to this girl than face my oh so shining, shimmering chain knuckles.
Siya pa nga pinapasandal ko sa balikat ko minsan.
Minsan nga, nakatulog din ako. I always sit next to her right. Yep. 'Cause I always put my wallet on my left pants' pocket. I know what you're thinking. I'm not rich. I just don't trust people around me, I only trust one person with my everything. My deepest secrets, my personal problems, and all. She even knows my accounts' passwords. That's how I trust her, my best friend, Cheryl, the one that I am secretly in love with.
