it was you, Love

C I N C O

I opened the door of my flat.

Gosh I am dead tired.

I walked straight to my kitchen while removing my shoes along the way.

I took a glass of water and headed upstairs to my room.

'I really need to take my rest' kasi alam ko na magkakasakit ako any moment now.

As soon as I saw my bed, lay my body flat on it. 'Gahd, I'm so tired'

Nahiga ako sa kama ko habang nag-sscroll lang sa facebook.

Hanggang sa..

ZZZzzzz...

BZZZT*

Nagising ako sa vibrate ng phone ko.

I didn't bother looking at the callers name before answering

"Hello?"

[Hello, Jo]

"Sino to?" medyo paos nako, mukhang tinablan na talaga ako ng sakit. At medyo barado pa yung ilong ko. Hay.

[Miko to.]

"Oh. Engr. Razon, napatawag ka?"

[....]

"Hello? Napatawag ka?"

[Hmm...]

"Ah alam ko na. Oo, natapos ko na yung plans. Nabigay ko na kanina kay Lucas."

[Ah, mabuti naman.]

"Hindi pa ba niya nasabi sayo? Si Lucas talaga." May pasingot singot effect na din pala ako. Gosh! I'm so sick (=_=)

Tinignan ko yung phone ko kung namatay na yung call kasi wala nang nagsasalita sa kabilang linya.

Hindi pa pala, "Hello? Engr. Razon? Miko?....Miko? Still there?"

[Yeah. Yeah. I have something to tell you. Nasan ka?]

"I'm at my flat, why? Is it that so important? That you need to call at this hour?" Tiningnan ko yung clock ko 3:25 am. "Wait, Miko? Are you drunk?"

[Not, drunk. Nakainom lang] Then I heard him chuckled. [Can we meet?]

Nag-alinlangan pa ako "S-Sure. Still, nakainom ka. Ingat sa pag-ddrive. C-Call me again kapag nasa lobby ka na or sa harap ng door."

[Yeah.] And the call ended.

I tried to keep myself awake while waiting for Miko, but I am really sick..and tired

ZZzZZZZzzzz....

*BZZZZZT*

I answered then placed the phone beside my ear without talking.

[Hello. Nandito na ako sa harapan ng pinto]

"....Alam mo naman password.....pasok ka na lang...." this time mas masakit na talaga pakiramdam ko kaya di nako makatayo, "..akyat ka na lang sa kwarto ko.."

Di ko na alam kung namatay na ba yung call, basta ko na lang nabitawan yung phone ko.

I tried to sit, kahit hirap na hirap ako.

As soon as I sat down on my bed, the door opened at iniluwa nun si Miko.

Ilang saglit siyang nakatayo doon at nakatingin lang sa akin.

Before I could utter a word.

He rushed onto my bed and kissed me hungrily. I can still taste the alchohol. And he reeks.
