Episode 39

Episode 39:

"You guys okay?" Tiningnan ko ng masama si Cheddy nang magtanong siya. Hindi na siguro nakatiis sa sobrang tahimik namin. She zipped her mouth and I rolled my eyes. "Sabi ko nga okay lang kayo, eh. Mga masusungit."

Hindi ko na pinansin ang pag-ismid niya at nilingon si Rosendale na pinaglalaruan lang ang gulay na nasa plato niya. Students here slowly started getting used to us three being together. Some even started approaching this annoying woman again like she's someone you can easily talk to. Fortunately, nobody has ever caught her attention because she's still that stupid woman who can never be tamed with smiles and friendliness.

Although, it's obvious that her elusive demeanor was now something they don't take hard now. Nakakairita, mas lalo pa yata siyang naging kilala sa eskuwelahang ito.

On Cheddy's part, she started being recognized, too, even if she's not asking for it. Ang ikinatuwa lang yata ng babaeng ito ay marami nang nagkakagustong lalaki sa kanya. She even told me a few days ago of how many choice of guys she's having right now, karamihan ay gwapo pa. Hindi ko alam kung mahilig lang ba talaga siya sa lalaki o ano. Even way back, she's been always like that, falling in and out on guys that's undeserving. I wonder if she did ever love someone to the point of doing almost everything.

Now that last desperate thought reminded me of my pitiful self. I was starting to hate myself. Looking at Rosendale reminded me of what she did the last time we became intimate. For roughly two weeks, I've been trying to ignore her and she's not even doing anything for me. Nakakabuwisit. This was probably the longest time that we've been in bad terms.

She freaking walked out when I told her of how I want to touch her like what she did to me. Parang napaso siya na hindi ko maintindihan, bigla na lang siyang bumangon at umalis nang walang sinasabi. Of course my mood have gone down the drill with an annoying feeling. It made me irritable and stupid. I felt rejected with that one time attempt.

It's just so fucking unfair that she led me into doing that to her only to be put on the edge with something, something I can't even named. Para kong ipinahiya ang sarili ko. She can just get her way on me but I can't? She let me do those stuffs but can't proceed further? That's what, of course, plain bullshit.

Ayoko nang pilitin ang sarili ko. Tuluyan na akong nawalan ng gana sa kinakain at nagdesisyon na lang na tumayo. Isinukbit ko ang dalang bag sa balikat. Tiningnan ako ni Cheddy ng may bahid ng pagtataka habang si Rosendale naman ay nanatiling nakatingin lang sa kinakain na akala mo interasado talaga siya sa nakikita. Fuck her. Damn annoyingly stupid woman. Gusto ko siyang saktan.

"Echo, wait, pasaan ka?" Cheddy held my arm when I was about to go.

"Don't—" My friend and I both looked at Rosendale nang kumalansing ang tinidor na binitawan niya sa plato. Tumingin siya sa kaibigan ko at nagbaba ng tingin. It's obvious that she's trying not to meet my gaze, mas lalo lang akong nakaramdam ng pagkaasar. I saw her fist clenched. "Refrain from touching her."

"So possessive naman this girl." Cheddy joked with an obvious nervous chuckle. I guess she felt the seriousness laced on my stupid girlfriend's voice. "Sabi ko nga sa'yong-sa'yo si Echo, eh. She's all yours to touch. Naks."

"I don't recall being hers." Hindi ko na napigilang sumagot kahit ang gusto ko lang naman talaga ay makalayo sa presensiya niya. I just want to be alone. Fuck it. "I'm maybe her partner but I am my own person. Rosendale doesn't own me, nor do I remember agreeing to be touched just because of that."

"Wait nga, wait nga, kanina ko pa kayo napapansin, ah." Cheddy scratched the back of her head. I saw Rosendale stealing a glance at me. Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ko ang sakit sa mata niya na pinipilit niyang itago sa hindi pagkibo. "Magkaaway ba kayo?"
