10:30 PM—Aris Bar—Thursday
Andito nananaman ako, sa lugar kung saan nagsimula ang lahat.
Hindi ko naman aakalain na magkakagusto ako sa kanya eh... wala naman akong balak na magkagusto
Pero bakit ganon...
Totoo talaga na kapag tinamaan ka, wala ka ng magagawa kundi sundin ito.
Habang umiinom ako ay may lumapit sa akin.
"Hi Miss" ani ng lalaki, alam ko naman ang gusto nito eh.
Inirapan ko lang sya at pinagpatuloy ang paginom ng alak
"Sungit" he murmured and drank his cocktail
Tumayo na lang ako at lumayo—away from those imbeciles and life
I looked at my watch—11 PM na pala
I decided to pay my drinks at umalis sa bar.
Bakit nananaman ulit ako pumunta don?
Bakit nananaman ako umasa?
That bastard.
Pinaandar ko ang aking kotse at pinaharurot papunta sa isa pang bar.
Yeah, sa isa pang bar.
I don't like that bar, andaming memories na pilit kong binabaon sa limot
Phastro Bar
Finally, some nice bar.
Umupo ako sa stool nila and ordered again a hard drink
The bartender gave me my drink and head off to make some more for the other customers.
Tahimik lang ako but suddenly a bunch of people entered the bar.
Ang iingay nila—seriously, may balak ba sila na sirain tenga ko?
"Pre! Alam mo ba, may nabiktima nanaman si Jerson"
"Nak ng, wala akong binibiktima gago!"
"Anong wala? Eh sino yung kasama mo nung sabado? Impossible naman na 'friend' lang yon"
"Wala, friend nga lang yon"
"Oo friend na kinakama"
Nagtawanan naman sila hanggang sa umupo sila sa isa sa mga vacant chairs
Typical boys.
Kapag nakakita lang ng malalaking boobs and butts. Titirahin na nila
What would you expect? Ganon na talaga ang henerasyon ngayon.
Madalang na talaga yung mga serysong lalaki na mamahalin ka at di ka iiwan
A sudden scene entered my head.
I snapped out of my thoughts and said
"Tanginang lalaki yon" But then a guy came to me and sat beside me.
Tiningnan ko sya, he's that guy na kasama ng other 5 guys na pumasok dine kanina.
I stared at him for a few seconds at nilipat ang aking tingin sa singer ngayong gabi.
The guy stopped singing and gave the mic to a girl.
The music started playing to a familiar tune.
Ah shit. Bakit yan pa talaga ang kakantahin ng babae. Seriously, is she a teenager na inlove
🎵Lagi kong naaalala
Ang kanyang tindig at porma
At kapag siya ay nakita
Kinikilig akong talaga
'Di naman siya sobrang gwapo
Ngunit siya ang type na type ko
Bakit ba ganito
Ang nadarama ng puso ko
Minsan siya ay nakausap
Ako ay parang nasa ulap
Nang ako'y kanyang titigan
Sa puso ay anong sarap
Tunay na kapag umibig
Lagi kang mananaginip
'Pag kasama mo siya
Ay ligaya na walang patid
Mr. Kupido
Ako nama'y tulungan mo
Ba't hindi panain ang kanyang damdamin
At nang ako ay mapansin
Mr. Kupido
Sa kanya'y dead na dead ako
Huwag mo nang tagalan
Ang paghihirap ng puso ko🎵
She's singing so mellow and soft that it made my heart tightened.
Ang ganda sana ng kanta kung wala lang memory ang kaakibat nito
The girl continued singing and the guy beside me started to talk
"Uhm, miss.. bakit ka po nagiisa?" He asked, I looked at him and noticed his features.
His soft brown hair that styled perfectly. His hazel eyes that captured my eyes right away. His long nose (matangos) that made my nose jealous of his. His rosy feminine lips that are made to touch mine—wait wtf?
He has a well built body, i think his height is around 5'10 to 6'0 i guess. He's wearing a white shirtpartnered with black jacket and blue pants.
He looks so young yet mature. I want to slap his cheeks for being so fluffy and cute.
"Uhh... miss?" He talked again. His voice is deep but soft and I love it.
"Oh, i'm sorry what again?" I asked while looking at him closely
"Bakit ka po nagiisa?" He asked once more while his hazel eyes staring intently with my blue eyes.
"Ah yun ba? I just want to be alone for a while and break free from stress of life kaya ako magisa." I explained and remove my eyes from his and stared at my drink
Bigla nananaman pumasok sa isip ko ang taong yon.
Dahil don, uminom ulit ako ng diretso hanggang sa maubos ang alak ko.
"Because of love life?" He specifically asked and took a sip from his drink
"Half of it, pero kalahati is sa trabaho" I said and asked the bartender to make ma another drink.
"Ano ba yung trabaho mo?" Napansin ko na nawala na yung pag-opo nya tulad kanina which is good.
"I'm a secretary of a nice company, pero nagresign ako" I said
"If it is a nice company, bakit ka nagresign?" He asked
"The CEO, was my lover" I simply said and thankfully, the bartender came and gave me my drink.
"So you two had an office affair?" He asked again
"Yup and it's against the office's rules but I don't mind breaking the rules for him" Naalala ko muli ang lalaking yon and took a sip from my new drink
"Ayun naman pala eh, then why did you resign?"
"I found out na mayroon syang asawa at dalawang anak. I was shocked, dahil tinanong ko sya dati kung single sya and he said he is" I said
"Hindi naman ako yung tipo ng babae na maninira ng pamilya at pinangarap na maging kabit. That's why I broke up with him" Pagtutuloy ko
"But that doesn't changed the fact na naging kabit ako. Which is sobrang baba para sa akin and I truly regret loving him"
"But again, sino ba niloko ko? Minahal ko ng sobra yon. I almost gave everything, pero nalaman ko na may pamilya na sya. And that sucks kasi kung hindi talaga sya kasal? I would love to marry him and bear his children."
"He is a lesson, he is not my true love but he is my lesson. Leksyon, na wag na wag na magtitiwala kaagad agad at maniniwala sa pinagsasabi ng ibang tao. Some will say the truth or the half truth to you, some will sugarcoat their words and will leave you broken and hopeless"
