Putanginang Hangover 'to!
I woke up with a pain in my nape up to the sides of my head like it spinned a million times last night. Hindi ko mapigilan ang pag-iisip at pagsabi ng: 'Hindi na ako iinom.'
I knew myself better though. I know that I will most probably drink again after last night...
Flashes of memories and pictures begin to solidify on my memories. I remember taking pictures and videos with Tati before leaving. Shelby shouting "be careful sa road", Rox being so drunk but I can't seem to remember the part when I got home. Or the part that I opened my front door or how I open my room's door.
What. The. Fvck! I blacked out?!
You really have the nerve to be surprised Dale? When you fvcking planned to win a bet between one of the most expert drinker of your tropa? Well, I guess I was really surprised. And guess what? I won, and that says something about how I don't give up easily on anything may it be for love or alcohol. Joke!
I got out of my bed and take my time at that. I scrolled through my social's notifications and my messages. I slowly maneuvered my body and get up while holding my phone and got a message from him.
1:30 PM
Teddy Bear Guy:
Good afternoon! I hope you're awake. Drink water...rinse away the alcohol from last night.
Napatawa ako dun. Wait... Siya ba ang nag-hatid sa amin kagabi?
Me:
Afternoon! Ikaw ba ang naghatid sa amin kagabi?
He simply replied to my text with a simple 'yup'. I didn't think much of it and continued to do my routine. I took a bath and washed away all the dirt I accumulated from last night. Habang nagsusuklay ay halos maluha ang aking mata sa sakit ng ulo ko.
Shit! Ano uulit ka pa, Dale? Yes, no, maybe?
Iinom pa naman siguro ako, pero hindi na ganoon karami. Dahan dahan akong bumaba sa hagdan, dinadama ang sakit ng ulo kong hindi natatapos o nawawala.
"Yan inom pa..."
"Ayputanginaka!" Sigaw ko sa gulat nang nakita ko si Jelo sa kusina at si Rox na may hawak na peanut butter container sa isang kamay at kutsara sa isa.
Pinakyu ako ng dalawa.
Halatang-halata sa kanilang mukha ang sakit. They look out of energy than usual, most especially Rox. Halos maubos na ata niya iyong hawak niyang peanut butter. He look at me and back to the container. He took a spoonful of it into his mouth and just stare at the spoon he used.
"Same..." I said quietly to my self because I relate to it, so much. I feel miserable because of this headache.
Bumuntong hininga ako at lumapit na lalo sa kanila. Kumuha ako sa ref ng tubig at nagsalin sa isang baso upang uminom duon.
"Um-order ako ng breakfast..." si Jelo habang kumukuha din ng tubig sa nilabas kong pitcher at tuloy tuloy na nilagok iyon.
Tinitigan ko siya bago sumagot. "Bakit hindi ka na lang nagpaluto?"
Ngumisi siya at bumalik sa living room. Sumalampak siya ng upo duon habang umuungol ng sakit ng kanyang ulo.
"Anong nangyari kagabi? Nakauwi ka ba?" Kausap ko naman kay Rocco na parang binagsakan ng langit at lupa dahil sa busangot niyang mukha.
Umiling lang siya at dumakot lang ng peanut butter sa container at pinagdiskitahan ulit iyon. What the hell happened to this motherfvcker? Tinusok ko ang braso niya, sinamaan naman niya ako ng tingin. Tumawa na ako kahit hindi pa rin maayos ang pakiramdam.
