Chapter 9 : Biringan

"Jarred."

Anong ginawa ng lalaking ito dito?

Tila pagod siyang nakaupo sa sahig at may hawak siyang alak sa kamay niya. Dalawa na ang alak na naubos niya. May sigarilyo din sa isa niya pang kamay!

"Hello, Jarred." He looks at me with a lazy eyes. He's drunk.

Bakit siya nandito? Bakit hindi siya sa backbuilding like he always did with his adik friends!

"Bakit dito mo pa napag-isipang uminom Cain? Alam mo namang bawal dito!"

Eh, pumasok ka nga Jarred eh kahit alam mong bawal!

He grinned. "I find it fun to break rules, you know."

You are drunk, Cain.

"Marami ka ng nabreak na rules Cain! Alam kong napunta ka sa principal's office kanina! Pati ba naman sa haunted room na ito?" umikot ang mata ko sa silid. It is indeed creepy.

Konti nalang ang mga armchairs at mga sira-sira pa ito. Napakaraming mga alikabok sa sahig.

"Eh pumasok ka nga dito eh." he chuckled then take a gulp of wine.

Namula ang aking pisngi! What should I say? I'm guilty! I should not tell him my true purpose here! Hays, may plano pa naman ako ngayon sa Biringan, pero istorbo tong lalaking to.

"But I can't blame you Jarred," dagdag niya pa at tumayo naman siya, sabay tapon ng yosi niya, "Masarap talaga ang bawal." ngumisi siya sakin.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nananayuan ang mga balahibo ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

He walks towards me and his moves are zigzag! Ang daming nainom ng lalaking to! Nasa pangatlong bote na siya! At tsaka dito pa talaga sa horror room uminom, ang lakas talaga ng loob!

"Bakit nga ba masarap ang bawal, Jarred?" he is so near to me right now, I can smell his hard liquor. His perfect teeth and sexy smile visible in the dark, "Lahat na ata ng bawal sa mundo, ginawa ko na. Masarap eh."

"M-masarap? Ewan ko," I answered in a small voice, I feel so uncomfortable right now, we are inches apart, "Hindi ako katulad mo."

He chuckled again! Lasing nga to!

"Then be like me, Jarred. " he said then he rests his hand on the door behind me.

Ang manyak ng lalaking to kapag lasing! Wala ng paki-alam kung bakla man o babae ang kaharap!

But I don't know why I can't move between this door and him.

"Be like you? Excuse me!" I gently pushed him away with my fingers, but he is unmovable, "Pinalaki ako ng maayos ni mommy!"

Pinalaki ng maayos? Maybe, pero hindi parin ako lumaki ng maayos, this is a scam!

Pumikit siya ng mariin. Then he slowly opened his eyes.

"I'll definitely dive into the forbidden depths if you will join me, Jarred." his lazy eyes boring into me, "Isang bawal na lang ang kulang, kompleto na ang buhay ko."

What does it mean? Forbidden depths? Yung mga pinagbabawal niyang bisyo? Gagawin ko rin? Never! Lasing nga ang Cain na to!

"Forbidden depths ka diyan!" saway ko, "May bisyo ako two years ago, pero past is past, hindi na ako uulit! Ayoko ng bumalik sa dating ako!"

I still remember my days in Manila. I was a girl back then, very sophisticated, very rebellious. And now, here's my karma.

"I love you Jarred." he said in a husky and sleepy voice. He is not grinning right now.
