Chapter 16: Soul Mate

"People think of soul mate as your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addiction, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you out of control that you have to transform you life...", Cienne read out loud from her latest favorite book Eat, Pray, Love written by Elizabeth Gilbert

Kumpleto ang bullies. We were all lounging in the sala. Kababalik lang kasi from the Christmas break. We came a day early para mag enlist for 3rd trimester. Cienne is on the floor, lying on her tummy. Ate Kim is seated sa sa single sofa na kanina pang busy sa kakakalikot ng cell phone nya. May katext ata. Carol is seated across her with her laptop. Cams is in the kitchen, may iniinit atang food. Si Tomsy, heto at nakatulog na ata sa lap ko at nakatihaya dito sa malaking sofa. Kiligmats!

Ang bilis ng panahon. Akalain mo naka-two terms na kami. O well, ang daming nangyari simula ng pumasok ako ng La Salle. Lalo na nitong Christmas Break. O huwag kayong atat... later na ko magkwent, owki? Balik muna tayo sa bully's discussion. Hihi.

"If that is the case, then there is nothing romantic about meeting one's soul mate", Carol adding her 2cents on the subject.

"Hindi pwede yun. Soul mate equates with THE ONE. Yun bang tipong pag nagkita kayo titigil ang mundo... tutunog ang mga kampana... mag-aawitan ang mga kerubin...", singit ko ko naman.

"Hayst! Sinumpong ka na naman ng pagiging hopeless romantic mo, Yeye. Sabi sa Bhuddism, if you meet someone and your heart pounds, your hands shake, your knees go weak, that is not your 'soul mate'. Kasi if soul mate daw, you would feel calm... no anxiety... no agitation. Nabasa ko rin sa book ni Jaime Licauco dati, bibihira daw ang nagkakatuluyang mga mag- soul mate. Once they fulfill their purpose sa buhay mo... babay na", tamo 'tong si ate Kim.Masyado na atang na-imbibe ang kanyang pagiging Lord Voldemort at ni wala ng kahit katiting na bahid ng pagiging romantic.

"According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. They were given superpowers. Kaso they became greedy. They desired to be more powerful than the gods of Olympus. As punishment, the gods split them into two separate beings and condemned them to spend their lives in search for their other halves", Biglang nagsalita ang tao nakahiga sa lap ko. Tingnan mo 'to. Akala ko natutulog. Halos ngawit na kaya ang sexy thighs ko sap ag-iwas na gumalaw para di sya magising. Yun naman pala gising at nakikinig sa amin. Kainis! Hmph!

"Ang nerd mo talaga, Vic", sabat ni Carol.

"Ano ka ba? Pinapatunayan nya lang na dean's lister sya. Oo nga pala, Ara, di mo pa kami nililibre ha", Camille said from the kitchen. For the last 2 terms, consistent kasing kasali sa Dean's List si Tomsy. O di ba? Di lang gwapo 'tong lovidabs ko... matalino rin. Wala eh Victonara Salas Galang yan eh.

"Oist! Ano ba kayo? Tigilan nyo na si Tomsy. Tamo nagsisimula ng humaba yung pikon meter nya ", pang-aalaska ko naman. Para saan pa't tinawag nila akong Bullyeye if di ko sya aasarin, ano? Sa aming anim na rookies, si Tomsy kasi ang medyo may pagka pikon at mainitin ang ulo. Malalaman mong malapit na yang mapikon pag nagsimulan ng humaba yung kanyang mala-Angelina Jolie nguso. Kaya naman we started calling it her 'Pikon Meter'

"Hirit pa, Daks, at ikaw magluluto ng food mo for dinner mamaya.". Tomsy replied back.

"Tamo 'to. Pinapatiggil ko nga po sila na pagtripan ka, di ba?"Sabay sabunot sa malambot nyang hair na kanina ko pa pinapaikot-ikot sa aking hugis kandilang daliri. Kakaasar! Mas malambot pa ang hair nya kesa sa akin. O well, di naman din nya ko kayang tiisin 'no. She would not want her future wife to starve to death. Haha! Ang landi lang, Mika.
