Chapter 3
"Tim Yap dude!" Exel said when I arrived at Brent's pad.
"Huh?" I asked curiously.
"Tanginang mukha yan ang panget! Hahahahahahaha." the three of them bursted out laughing and I just threw them the basketball I saw on the floor.
"Ouch!" Jax said. Siya kasi yung natamaan eh. Buti nga sayong kumag ka.
I sat on the couch saka na kinuha ang controller ng XBox ni Brent. I played, not minding if they're just watching me. Badtrip ako. 3 days na.
"What's your problem dumbass?" Brent asked.
"Wala." I said.
"Ulol! Kami pa niloko mo?" Exel said.
"Teka. You mentioned to me yesterday yung about sa girl eh. Did you find her?" Brent asked.
"Huh? Sinong babae?" tanong naman ni Jax.
"Wala sabi!" sabi ko naman. "Ano? Magtatanong na lang ba kayo o maglalaro tayo?" I asked them. Agad namang kinuha ni Exel ang isa pang controller saka na nakilaban sa akin sa laro.
"So you haven't found her yet." Brent said.
"Shut up, Brent." I told him.
"Tangina. Ano ba yun?" Jax asked again pero walang pumansin sa kanya.
"Bakit? Iniwan ka lang basta?" Exel asked. Sa kanilang dalawa ni Jax, si Exel ang medyo may utak. Si Jax... Wag na nating pag-usapan. Tinignan ko lang si Exel and he understood immediately. "Shet. Maganda ba?"
"Putek. Sino ba kasi?!" Jax asked, frustrated. "Sige ha? Wag niyo kong pansinin. Magmomonologue lang ako."
"So? Sino siya?" Exel asked. I paused the game and looked at them. Seryoso? Para kaming mga babaeng nagchichismisan dito.
"Her name's Anne." I answered.
"Anne? Anne Curtis?! Pakshet dude jackpot ka!!!" bulalas ni Jax.
"Will you shut up?!" I yelled. Natahimik naman siya saka na lang umupo uli. "She's not Anne Curtis okay? She's more than that."
"So Anne... How did you meet her?" Exel asked. Sumandal ako sa couch saka humugot ng malalim na buntong-hininga.
"The night after we won the race. Diba we went to Aracama? You were all busy with girls and dancing kaya I decided to hangout na lang sa may bar counter. Si Russel pala yung andun that night so he asked me kung saan tayo galing kasi nga late tayo. I told him na we had a race and that I won. Tapos yun. A girl suddenly butted in sa usapan. She's damn pretty, dude. Laglag panga ko!" I said. "Tapos you wouldn't believe it. Kasi ang taray-taray niya! Sobra siya mambara pare."
"Oh tapos?"
"Syempre di ako susuko. Elmo Magalona to dude. Walang inuurungan to." I said. "Nung napikon siya, she decided to go. Sabi niya she's waiting for her bestfriend ganun. I pulled her tapos napakalong siya saken then she slapped me!"
"Woah!!!" sabay-sabay na react nilang tatlo.
"Oo. Sinampal niya ko! I couldn't believe it. First time yun!" I said. "Then Russel was teasing me na mukhang humihina na daw yung charms ko. Then maybe after an hour ata or two, bumalik siya. She's drunk already. Halata sa mga mata niya. Tapos sabi niya 'Ikaw pa din?' Syempre sabi ko oo and that I was waiting for her. Tapos tinanong niya kung bakit daw. Then I asked her, 'Bakit ba hinihintay ang isang tao?' At alam mo sagot niya?"
"What?" Exel asked.
"Kasi sabay sila sa sakayan pauwi?" after saying that ay naghagalpakan ang tatlo sa kakatawa. Jax even fell down the couch at napalupasay na siya sa sahig. Exel was clutching his tummy at si Brent naman ay hinahampas-hampas ang headrest ng couch.
