CHAPTER 4

-GWEN-

NAGISING AKONG MABIGAT ANG pakiramdam at sobrang sakit ang ulo.

What the heck happened last night?

Napatingin ako sa paligid ko. Narito ako sa sariling kwarto ko. Paano akong nakauwi?

Sa bedside table ko ay may isang pitsel ng tubig, baso at gamot na para sa sakit ng ulo.

Dumagsa ang kaba sa dibdib ko nang mapansin ko ang isang sticky note.

"You shouldn't make a habit of drinking with guys, Gwen. Seriously, you're a bad drunk so don't go drinking with a guy alone. – VK," mahinang basa ko sa nakasulat.

Pakiramdam ko binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig nang maalala ko ang mga nangyari kagabi.

I went to a bar with Vann and drank until I passed out.

Medyo malabo pero naaalala kong iniuwi ako ni Vann dito sa apartment ko.

"You guysssh are full of shhhhitttt. Hik! Do you alwaysh think with your other head? Huh?"

Napatakip ako sa bibig ko nang maalala ko ang mga pinagsasabi ko sakanya kagabi pati na ang mga sumunod na pangyayari.

"Gwen, you're drunk. Come on, get some rest."

"S-Shtop telling me what to do! Hik! You fucking piece of shit! Ang lakas ng loob mong pagtaksilan ako. Eh kashingliit naman ng utak mo yung etitsh mo. You never even made me orgashhmm, you motherfucker! Hik!"

"Whew! Uhm... That's kinda... sad. No wonder you're uptight and always annoyed..."

Holy fuck. Why do I need to remember all the embarrassing things I did last night?! Akala ko required makalimutan lahat ng ginawa mong kagagahan nung lasing ka. Or was the beer just that useless? Shit! Shit! Shit!

"Pero b-bakit ganu'n? B-bakit nasasaktan pa rin ako kapag naaalala kita? Hik! Why do I still care about you? Why do I still hope to see the person I fell for in you? Why the fuck can't I get over you? Hik!"

"Maybe because you are not even trying? You may be short-tempered and a little weird, but you are one fine woman, Gwen. Stop crying over an asshole."

"I must be going crazy... Hik! Bakit parang gumwapo ka? Hmm?"

"H-Hey! You are treading on dangerous zone, princess. Don't come any nearer, okay? Also, I don't appreciate being mistaken as your ex."

"Yeah... Maybe you're not him. You're way good-looking."

And the next thing I know, I reached out to kiss him, but I ended up throwing up on him instead.

"Damn, girl. Do I look like a freaking toilet bowl to you?"

Doon natapos yung mga naaalala ko. Mukhang tuluyan na akong nawalan ng ulirat pagkatapos no'n.

Mabilis na napatingin ako sa suot ko. Nakapantulog ako at hindi ako amoy suka. Ibig sabihin, pinalitan niya yung damit ko.

Wait a sec. Does this mean na pinaliguan niya rin ako?

Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko nang ma-realize ko lahat ng kagagahang ginawa ko.

"Shit," mahinang bulong ko sa sarili.
