Nandito na naman ako sa lugar na tinuturing kong bahay. Hahahahahaha. Nakakatawang isipin bahay nga ba ang isang lugar na ganito?
Maingay. Madaming tao. Mga taong iba’t ibang ang ginagawa. Iisa lang naman ang gusto nila. Pati na rin ako. We all want to be happy.
“Argh! What’s that?” somebody stole my shot of Vodka. Nang tinignan ko kung sino ang kumuha nito. I knew it! My one and only best friend. So annoying.
“Stop it! You need to go home. Hinahanap ka na nila Tito at Tita. Please naman, umuwi ka na daw,” napatingin ako sa kanya. What? My mother and my ever-loving father is looking for me. Haha. That’s new, I guess they are not busy anymore.
“Wag mo nga akong pakielaman! Go back to where were you, iwanan mo na ako dito. Hayaan mo silang maghanap sa akin,” I told her. “One shot of Vodka, please?” I told the bartender.
“Ano ba?! No! Wag niyo nang bigyan ng Vodka! Wag ka na nga makulit, you need to go home!” she suddenly grabbed my hand and dragging me out to that bar. This sucks.
Nang makarating na kami sa labas. I pull my hand from her. “What’s your problem?!” I yelled at her.
“What’s my problem? Ako pa ba ang dapat tinatanong mo niyan o ikaw? Have you ever seen yourself? Lagi na lang nandito, what’s in this place at lagi kang nandito. Hindi mo na nga maisip na umuwi sa bahay niyo dahil lagi kang nandito. Tapos ako ang tinanong mo na what’s your problem? Ha?!” she told me. Erased it, she yelled me that.
“This is my life. Ako ang masusunod, wala kang pakielam. Go mind your own” I told her, calmly. Tinamaan na din kasi ako ng alak.
“Actually, hindi naman dapat kita pupuntahan” my bestfriend told me and I looked at her with why are you here look. “Your mom and your dad, ask me a favor. Hinahanap ka nila sa akin, ang tagal mo na daw kasing hindi umuuwi sa bahay niyo. You know that this is not the first time right? kaya nga alam ko kung saan ka mahahanap. Please, Tita and Tito are begging me to find you at umuwi ka na daw” she told me.
So she’s here because of my ever-loving parents. What’s that?! Gosh! Could they just mind their own life. Lagi na lang silang ganito kung kailan nawawala ako pero kapag okay ang lahat, wala lang ako sa kanila. Para akong isang bula.
“Just tell my parents, just mind their own okay? You too. You should go! Just go, okay?! I’ve had enough today, I just want to be happy, this is me! You know it! This is me, this is the real me! Okay?! Just go!” I yelled at her
“Yeah, I know this is the real you. I remembered, this is you before he—“
“Don’t ever say it! Just don’t!”
“What?! That you’re like this before he arrived in your life and now he’s gone your like this again? How pathethic!”
I step closer to her and shoved her shoulder. “You’re have no right to say that to me or involved him in this situation!” I told her
“I have the right, I’m your best friend and I care for you so much! You just need to move on! Move on! Please? Let be the past be past and keep moving forward,” she told me while looking in my eyes.
Napatigil ako sa sinabi niya. It’s easy to say, sobrang daling sabihin sa isang tao na magmove-on pero sa taong nasa sitwasyon sobrang hirap, mahirap sa para sa akin. Hindi ganun kadali, hindi.
I just looked at her and said “Just go. If you’re really my best friend you will understand me. Pakisabi na lang kanila mom and dad, uuwi din ako hindi nga lang ngayon. Hindi ko pa kaya.” And I walked away.
She’s still calling me as I get on my car. Nakita po ka siyang tumakbo para abutan ako. Pero hindi na niya ako nahabol pa.
Gusto ko pang magsaya. Gusto ko pang pumunta sa lugar na tinuturing kong bahay. Pero dahil kilalang kilala ko ang my oh so good best friend kahit saan ako pumunta mahahanap niya ako. Alam niya kung saan ako pumupunta kapag nasa ganito akong sitwasyon. Kapag ako ang ako. Kahit na nung nandito pa siya, ang best friend ko lang ang laging nakakahanap sa akin dahil kilala niya ako. Wala kaming sikreto sa isa’t isa. Parang kapatid na nga ang turing namin sa isa’t isa ehh. Kaso nangyari ang kinakatakutan kong mangyare. Nang dahil doon nilayo ko ang sarili ko sa best friend ko. Sa kanila nang dahil sa kanya.
I’m still on the road. I don’t know where I should go. Saan nga ba? Yung hindi ako mahahanap ng kahit sino. Yung malayo sa kanila. Saan nga ba maganda pumunta?
After many hours of driving I found myself in front of not so famous, actually okay lang na club. Hindi pa siya ganun ka modernized but as long as I find my happiness in here. This will be my new home.
I entered the club. Actually it looks secured because they have their body guard outside and I saw bouncers in every corner of the club. This place looks very nice. As soon as I approach the counter I ordered a shot of vodka.
After hours of drinking and dancing inside the bar, I decided to go home. Not at my parent’s house but my own condo. Condo na pinaghirapan kung makuha kaya hindi din alam ng mga magulang ko na may sarili akong condo.
I’m passing through the club’s crowd, suddenly someone grabbed my hand. “Hey miss, going home?” it’s a man. Yeah, a man. A bachelor I think, then he grin.
“Yeah,” my bored answer.
“Do you wanna have more fun? Hmmmm….?” He told me and makes a step closer to me and caresses my shoulder. I know this move. Boys. He’s hitting on me.
I grin to him and his grin turn to a champion’s smile. So easy.
So we got out of the club. “You have a car? Do you mind if we use mine?” he asked me.
“No problem” and he guide me to his car. It’s an Audi, nice car. One of my favourite brand. He’s surely a Bachelor.
“Don’t worry we will get your car when we are done” he said to me while driving and he smirks. Actually I don’t have an interest on him. I just said, I want to be happy. This my way, my own real way.
We stop at in front of a condo. I know that were going to his condo unit. He’s surely hitting on me.
Nang nasa harap na kami ng unit niya, he suddenly kissed me. Hard. Until we reached his bedroom door, he unlock it and he pinned me down to his bed. Kissing me harder than before.
I felt his one hand roaming around every part of my body. Actually it’s getting hotter. Hotter.
