I sighed in relief as soon as I entered the locker room. Alas dos na kaya sa wakas ay tapos na ang shift ko. After gathering my things and changing my clothes, lumabas na ako upang magpaalam sa closing staff ng club.
"Grabe! Alas dos ba talaga lagi ang uwi mo?" Nagulat ako nang bigla akong sinalubong ni Reika na pumapapak pa ng calamares.
"No, ngayon lang kasi weekend. Bakit mo pa ako hinintay?" tanong ko.
"Malamang kasi nasa iyo ang susi!" she spat out sarcastically.
"No, I gave you your own set of keys earlier," I reminded her.
"Oh?" She blinked twice and then shook her head as if brushing off the thought. "Guess I was too drunk to remember. Tara, uwi na tayo."
Reika didn't seem drunk. Ni hindi ko siya nakitang uminom. Doon ko napagtantong hinintay niya nga talagang matapos ang shift ko at ayaw niya lang na umamin. Thoughtful.
She grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of the club. Paglabas sa parking lot, nakita kong naglalaro na ng piko sina Haji at Sawyer kahit wala namang mga marka sa sahig, nakaupo naman sa sidewalk si Magno na para bang naubusan na ng pag-asa sa kanyang mga kaibigan. Palibhasa hindi rin ito lasing, he's probably the designated driver.
"Pilak!" Sawyer beamed seeing me with Reika.
"Diablo!" Haji yelled with spite, a complete opposite of Sawyer's reaction.
"Just ignore them, they're drunk as hell." Reika rolled her eyes and continued to drag me towards a black honda civic. She opened the passenger seat so I had no choice but to get in.
Despite being drunk, Haji and Sawyer got inside the car as well — Sawyer sat in the backseat with Reika and I while Haji sat in front next to Magno who positioned himself in the driver's seat.
"Haji, seatbelt," paalala bigla ni Reika.
Imbes na ikabit ang kanyang seatbelt, bigla na lamang lumingon si Haji sa direksyon ko. Matalim ang kanyang titig sa akin na para bang may napakalaki akong atraso sa kanya.
"Ano na naman?" Nababagot kong tanong.
"My name is Haji Kazemi. Remember the name that will defeat you," anito at naglabas ulit ng rosaryo mula sa bulsa niya. Alam ko nang siraulo siya pero hindi ko alam na may mas ilalala pa pala siya kapag lasing.
Mahaba ang pasensya ko pero nang mga sandaling iyon ay tila ba nagpatong-patong na ang pagod, kahihiyan, at inis ko kaya naman pumatol na ako sa kagaguhan niya.
"Haji Kazemi, I curse you with 10 years of bad luck," I announced with my usual serious and monotonous voice.
He gaped and shook his head. Poor idiot looked like a scared little kid.
