Inis na pinunas ko ang malagkit na pawis na patuloy na tumutulo mula sa aking noo dulot ng mainit na sinag ng araw
"Ano ba yan init-init na nga may time pa maglandian" I hissed
Gustuhin ko mang itulak ang SOBRANG bagal maglakad na mag jowa sa harap ko ay hindi ko magawa.
Bakit nga naman diba?
There is my boy best friend, Calyx with his not-so-pretty girlfriend na akala mo linta sa pagkapit sa kanya.
Nagpatuloy ang paglalakad namin sa gitna ng mainit at mausok na highway. Pasalamat na nga kami at hindi kami nasasaway ng mga tao dahil sa bagal nila maglakad.
How I wish a car would hit someone..
"Okay what the hell, Calyx. The sun is giving us his rise to the highest level tapos ang bagal nyo pa lumakad? Buti sana kung magtatagal kayo nyan" iritadong tono ang lumabas mula sa bibig ko nang hindi na kayanin pa ang inis sa loob
They stopped from walking and I saw how the girl's expression turned from happy to shock
Suits you girl. Mukha kang pugita
Calyx chuckled and walk his way into me, leaving his girl
"Alam mo, Haisle. Umiiral na naman yang kabitteran mo" he said and pinch my nose
Ouch.
I give him the most annoying look I could ever give and ignore him
Okay. This scenario seems familiar and happened so many times
...
"Holding holding hands pa hindi naman magtatagal"
"Celebrate pa ng anniversary. Magbrebreak din naman"
"Bagal maglakad amputa mawawala rin naman sila"
"Bigay pa ng kung ano-ano wala namang sila"
And Calyx always say...
"Ang bitter mo"
...
5 in the afternoon when I decided to go
upstairs-- at the rooftop of our building to get some fresh air and to watch the students below doing their things
Ngunit hindi pa ako nakaka sampong minuto ay nakaramdam ako ng isang presensya
I got startled when someone stood beside me.
And guess who?
Yup, si Calyx
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" I ask watching him looking down at the students
He just looked at me and smiled before turning his eyes back below
While I remain staring at his perfect features-- from his thick eyebrows to his sharp jawline
Kung hindi ko siya kilala ay mapagkakamalan ko siyang isang modelo
"Let me guess... Break na kayo?"
He didn't talk instead he look at me and hold my hands with his
Hindi ko alam pero tila kinabahan ako sa ginagawa niyang ito.
It's only two.
Good News or Bad News
"Haisle... I wanted to say this to you a lot of times pero napapangunahan ako ng kaba ko" he sighed and he looks so aesthetic with the wind blowing his hair
"I like you... I wanted to court you and I don't take no for an answer"
He didn't let me say my answer and immediately put his soft lips on mine.
The kiss lasted for a minute.
"Dahil sa kabitter-an mo, nainlove ako" he said and chuckled
I smiled and just feel the peculiar moment
See? I'm Bitter But I'm Better.
