The Bridge

Just the two

Julie's POV

I wasn't myself for these past few days. I am disturbed and confused. Even on the smallest things, nawawalan ako ng pokus. I tend to think about it most of the time. The things that we don't know the most, piques our interest. In a simpler term, curiosity managed to get a hold of me.

Kasalukuyan kong kinakagat ang tip ng pen ko. Nag-iisip ako ng gawing tula however, like I've said I am disturbed. It's not that curious ako sa lalakeng iyon, wala akong pake sa buhay niya it's just that his personality before and during the scene are not the same. Parang may connection. Siguro nga nagmumukha nakong chismosa or whatever pero I'm trying hard to brush the thought off but it's literally just like a yoyo. It goes back.

This time, I'm trying twice as hard to forget the thought until nakatulog ako sa mesa. And I just woke up because the maid woke me. It was 8 in the evening.

Chineck ko muna kung may laway ba ako sa gilid at nung masiguro ko namang wala ay dumiretso ako sa sala para kumain. While eating, fragments of the thought slowly flashed and it bothered my appetite the most. Kaya hindi ko naubos ang pagkain ko. I looked at the wall clock and it was already 9 in the evening. Halos isang oras din naman pala akong nakatulala dito sa kainan. Then, another thought ran through

What if pumunta ulit ako? There's a huge possibility na nandun siya since that girl works there. Pero hindi naman ako papayagan ng mga tao dito paniguradong magsusumbong sila kila tita. And what will I use to get there anyway? This place is almost secluded. Taxi's rarely come to this area.

Mga ilang minuto din naman ang lumipas nung may naisip akong paraan para makapunta sa club na iyon and honestly, I never thought I'd thought of this.

I'm self-debating whether I would call this recipient or not. After few moments, I decided to press call. Wondering why my life's like this.

"Yow yow yow Julie wassup?"

"Hello to you too Ms. Macalungsod"

"Oh ba't ka napatawag?"

"Wanna uhm-" I paused and held my grasp tightly on the phone. Kinagat ko muna ang labi ko bago ko pinagpatuloy ang sasabihin ko sakanya

"Wanna go hang?" There. I said it. There was no way I could forfeit now.

"I thought you'd never ask!" The tone of her voice made it clear to me that she was excited. Then I hung up

===========

"Ba't mo naman naisipan na pumunta ulit sa bar na iyon?" Ms Macalungsod suddenly asked eyes locked on the road

"Nabored ako kasi" Tanging sagot ko nalang

"So hindi ka nabored noon? Wow ang exciting pala ng life mo kwento ka naman" She sarcastically stated. I rolled my eyes

"Basta balik nalang tayo okay?"

she rolled her eyes then said "okay. Ako naman ang nakabenipisyo dito eh HAHA" she smirked.

I couldn't determine what I'm feeling right now. It's all mixed up and I don't even know what to do. So ano? Papanoorin ko lang si Uno tumitig kay ate girl? Oh susundan ko sila? Paano kung napasok silang dalawa sa kwa-

"Bumaba kana prinsesa kanina pa tayo nakikitig sa kawalan" Pagtawag ng katabi ko. I looked at her at inunahan siya patungo sa club. Narinig ko ang pagtawag niya sakin pero sinabi ko nalang na magc-cr ako kaya ako nagmamadali at magkikita nalang kami sa loob.

Of course that was a lie. I wouldn't want her to know I'm here dahil may inaalam ako. She might think that I'm a creepy stalker a die hard fan. Eww.
