Chapter 19: After the Storm

WENSH'S POV -

I woke up feeling like I have a head as huge as Pearl's, yung anak ni Mr. Krabs. Sobrang sakit ng ulo ko at feeling ko sobrang bigat pa but when I tried to move my hand, parang nagtatalo yung buong katawan ko sa kung ano ang mas masakit. I opened my eyes and parang everything's white. Nasa ospital ba ko?

Kinapa ko both hands pero wala namang dextrose. Dahan-dahan akong umupo. Feeling ko madedetach yung ulo ko.

Then it all occurred to me ... wala ako sa bahay pero alam ko kung nasaan ako. I know this room.

Bumaba ako sa kama and pagtapak ko sa carpet -

JERIC: Araaaaay!

WENSH: Oh my God! I'm sorry!

Tinulungan kong tumayo si Jeric. Kung bakit ba naman kasi dito sya nakahiga sa sahig, eh may kwarto naman syang kanya.

JERIC: Gising ka na pala.

WENSH: Hindi naman halata. -____-

JERIC: Masakit ulo mo?

WENSH: Yup. Ikaw masakit tiyan mo?

JERIC: Obviously. Tapakan mo ba naman.

WENSH: Eh bakit ka ba kasi nandyan? At bakit nandito ako? Anong nangyari?

JERIC: Pag nagkakahangover ka, instant amnesia talaga 'no? Kaya napapahamak ka eh.

WENSH: Just answer me. (rolls eyes)

JERIC: Loren's bachelorette party?

Then, I remembered. Haaay. Ang dami ko na namang nainom; sa sobrang dami I forgot almost everything na nangyari sa party. But I know one thing. Nagvolunteer akong uminom for the sake of Aby and Liss. Grabe. Pang-tatlong tao pala tinira ko kagabi.

WENSH: How did I end up here?

JERIC: Dapat talaga sa bahay nyo kita ihahatid pero sobrang traffic dahil may bagyo.

WENSH: Tumila na ba yung ulan?

JERIC: Hindi pa. Umaambon pa at medyo malakas yung hangin. Sabi kagabi, mga 11am pa daw tuluyang aalis yung bagyo.

WENSH: Oh. Okay ... sana naman hindi kami binaha.

JERIC: I texted Miks a while ago. Hindi naman daw. She knows you're here, by the way.

WENSH: Anong oras na sila nakauwi?

JERIC: Alas dos na sila nakauwing lahat. Umuna na tayo kagabi kasi ... you know.

WENSH: What?

JERIC: Well, you know yourself pag nalalasing.

WENSH: Oh ... sinukahan ba kita?

JERIC: Yep. (smirks) Guilty?

WENSH: Nope. Buti nga sayo! :P

JERIC: Psssh. -_____- Dyan ka na lang. Igagawa kita ng pampatanggal ng hangover.

WENSH: Please wag yung green juice thingy.

JERIC: Coffee then?

WENSH: Sure.

JERIC: Your breath smells like liquor and vomit, by the way. (nagcringe)

WENSH: And I smell like one too. Yuck.
