someday...YOU'LL BE MINE (COMPLETED)

Chapter 24

Alak

I was preparing myself for tonight.

Obviously, my parents are not here pero nagpaalam naman ako kay Aleng Maria at Manong Aldo.

"Kayo na po magpaalam sa akin kanila mommy at daddy kapag tumawag po sila ah!"

I was just wearing my robe medyo katatapos lang ni Manang ihanda lahat ng gagamitin ko from jewelry to my heels.

I will wear a black V neck balloon dress paired with an MK black clutch.

MAG-ITIM TAYO!

Humarap ako sa salamin at pilit na ngumiti.

I started my make-up and tied my hair up.

Isa pang titig sa salamin tapos pilit na ngiti ulit.

"Please Gel yung totoong ngiti naman!"

Tapos bigla nalang akong napaluha.

Di ko na inabala pa ang sarili ko na mag retouch it's just a small amount of tears by the way as if I would ruin my whole face.

Napangiti nalang ako sa naisip.

I once look at the mirror, checking how do I look, okay naman kaya umalis na din ako ng bahay.

When Mario left di na ako nagstay pa sa condo ko.Lahat ng memories namin ni Mario andun. Paano ako makakamove on kung ganun di ba?

Kung nandito lang yun sa tabi ko for sure sasabihin lang nun

"Ang ikli naman ng suot mo Gel, magpalit ka nga doon!" sabay halakhak ko

When I realized na wala pala siya sa tabi ko ngayon na iniwan na nya ako bigla nalang akong humagulgol ng pagiyak. Itinabi ko yung sasakyan ko tapos umiyak ako ng umiyak habang nakasubsob yung muka ko sa manibela.

Iniyak ko ng iniyak yung sakit na nararamdaman ko.Walang katapusang luha.Walang katapusang pag hagulgol.

That time I felt pity for myself.

"Gel, hindi lang siya yung lalaki sa mundo!"

pilit kung isinisiksik sa utak ko

"Bakit ba ako iyak ng iyak?"

"Sya ba umiiyak sa oras na'to?"

"Bakit ako lang ang miserable dito?"

"F*ck this life...Mario napaka unfair mo naman oh!" Napilay ata yung kamay ko sa paghampas sa steering wheel ng sasakyan, "Ooouch!Ouch! damn it!"

I'm messed right now.

Wala na sirang sira na yung make up ko.

Wala na akong mukang ihaharap pa sa mga friends ko.

Mapapansin lang lalo nila that I'm a trashed now that Mario dumped me.

I need to call Sam.

calling.....

"S-sam?" Medyo hysterical na si Sam sa kabilang Libya

"I'm okay no need to worry. Sorry please tell the girls that I can't be there"

"Just something happens!" Napabuntong hininga nalang ako." sorry! I'm okay just enjoy there"

Then I hang up.

What will I do now?

"Yeah right!"

I wiped my tears and retouch my make up.Nawala na yung glam ng muka ko pero wala na akong pakialam. I will go somewhere that I knew I can move on somehow.

Pumunta muna akong convenient store and I bought a bottle of soju and beer. Bumili din ako ng chicken and some snacks.

"I will party on my own!"

Sabay apak sa gas papunta sa lugar na alam na alam kong puntahan.

Tagaytay!

Two hours of driving nangawit na yung braso ko. I stop over where the view of taal is waving at me. I closed my eyes and smell its fresh air.

"I'm here!"

I'm about to cry pero bigla nalang may tao pala sa likod ko so I pull myself back to the car.

"Nakakahiya!" nasapo ko nalang yung noo ko then I realized "hmmmm it's quarter past to nine pero bakit may tao pa doon?"

Naisip ko lang naman pero di ko nadin pinansin. Well, it's not too late din naman.

Ako nga kababaeng tao nasa labas pa e,

Natawa nalang ako sa sarili ko.

I checked in into a hotel but this time it is far from Tagaytay heights where Mario and I stayed. It was a big room with a queen big size bed.

"Aaaaah kapagod magdrive"

After a couple of minutes, I pulled myself up and prepare dinner for myself. Wash the dishes with me and drink some alcohol with myself.

I finished one bottle of beer and soju.

Medyo nahihilo na ako pero alam ko pa naman yung ginagawa ko.

"Yan ganyan Gel, be strong.Be happy!hahaha!"

"He is pathetic! a lunatic!"

"H-hoy Mario, Akala mo ba gwapo ka?hahaha pweeee kaya kitang ipagpalit sa sampong lalaki sa isang araw!" natulo na ang luha ko, "ako? Maganda ako, sexy hahaha sexy tingnan mo" kung anu-ano ng pose yung pinaggagawa ko.

Para akong tanga kausap ang sarili.

Kainuman ang sarili.

At karamay ang sarili.

"All by myself! I don't care! I am f*cking don't care! Hahaha"

Two bottles of soju and beer are done.

Hilong-hilo na ako.

Hindi ko alam kung nasa comfort room ba ako o nasa kama.

I just wanna throw up.

"Blaaaaaah!" I'm holding myself up

"H-hindi hindi ako susuka!hahaha no no no!"

para na talaga akong tanga.

I don't know where I am basta I stop moving mas lalo kasi akong nahihilo.

Damn!

Liquor is like the sweetest dew from

anywhere. First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you. Life is beautiful and liquor added more spices into your life.

Someone is knocking at the door but I can't stand I'm drunk and wala man lang akong lakas para makapagtanong kung sino yung kumakatok.

"Hmmmmm" yun lang ang nasabi ko

Gusto kong tumayo at makita kung sino kung taong kanina pa nanggugulo sa tap at ng pintuan ko but I can't.

A few minutes after I heard some curses and I'm sure it was him. I wanna open my eyes to make sure pero masyado akong high sa alak.

"M-Mario?" tumakbo sya papunta sa akin and I smelled his scent. "I-it's you!"

I smile like a kid

"What are you doing?" he sounds irritated

"Hmmmm?!, I -I am enjoying myself as a SINGLE...I'M FREE!" sabay halakhak KO

Pero di sya natawa.

"What are you saying? You're not single and you're not free!" galit na galit yung mata nyang nakatingin sa akin." I am here! You're husband!"

"Husband? Hahaha You?"

"Yes I am proposing to you now please baby, please be my wife!" with a serious face

"Ha-ha-ha lakas ng tama ng ALAK,ako ba ang lasing o ikaw?hahaha"

then I'm out of my presence.

"You silly girl," he said

-BAHALA KA NA JAN MAGASIKASO KAY ANGEL, MARIO-HAHAHAHAHAPPY READING PO!
