Singko
"Pasensya na Ode ha. Hindi kasi ako makakapunta. Yung pinsan ko kasi tinotopak na naman. Hiniwalayan nang gf gusto mag inom. Sorry talaga day ha. Hindi ako makaka party with you."
"Ya, sure. Not a problem I also got some prob here. By the way. Last week mo pa yan kasama yang pinsan mo, mind telling me his name?" Nakataas ang kilay ko. I am currently standing in front of my body size mirror inside my room. I am wearing a red halter top paired with a white palazzo pants. My hair was arranged in a high ponytail.
Balak kasi naming mag gala ngayon sa bar malapit lang sa pantalan. We are actually invited but since it was a sudden notice ay mukhang ayos lang na hindi kami makakarating. Also, it will be all awkward if I will go there without Dianne. Eh sa aming dalawa sya kaya ang may makapal ang mukha duh.
At saka isa pa. The reason why I called was because I can't also come. The sea level looks alluring and I suddenly want to take a dip. May pinahanda na akong bangka by James. Yung lalaking naging kaibigan ko na rin dito at isang mangingisda. Well, he's not a real mangingisda but his barkada keeps on going here to catch some fish for their daily food trip. Naging magkaibigan kami since Dianne was so makapal ang face and kinausap itong si James.
"Oh, his name is Chanson Dalapo. My first cousin and sya rin ang malapit sa akin. So, I am sorry talaga if I can't go with you ha." Napatango tango ako, kahit wala sa harapan ko ang kausap.
"Yeah, I understand. See yah then. Lavyu." Ngumuso ako.
"Luvyu, mwauh!" She ended the call. That was summer morning, the start of summer vacation. It was a sudden information so I didn't make it any big deal. But right now. Early morning and as I read this message of his made me think.
Does Dianne know. Where I am? How does this guy appeared in front of me yesterday and helped me? All I know was lumipad ito sa Batangas! The last call from Dianne to me was before the incident when Chanson wants to unwind in Batangas. Dianne even left me a message na hindi sya makaka uwi for one week cause binabantayan nya si Chanson.
Hindi ko mapigilang hindi mapatanong. Was everything coincidental? O baka naman kilala ako nang pinsan ni Dianne? The memory of yesterday flashed back in me. The way he smile and pay for me. It was not because he is a good samaritan but maybe he knows me!
That equalled the way he carelessly give me his brand new phone! The way he smile and maybe, he know my name! I was left shock. I thought that maybe everything are just happening as the way it is. But after learning this. I suddenly have a doubt. Dianne didn't try to contact me. Or maybe she did but it didn't reached me.
I don't have any connection from my past. And I don't have any thought of reconnecting again. Not now when everything is still vague and... dangerous.
"I already talked to Cello about what happened. He was sorry." Nagulat man ay pinigilan ko ang reaksyong lumabas sa akin. Umikot ako upang tingnan ang nag mamay-ari nang maangas na boses na yun. Tumaas ang kilay ko nang makita ang boss kong bagong ligo.
Without any hesitation, I let my eyes wander on his appearance. His hair is a bit damp. His wearing a simple white V-neck shirt paired with a cargo shorts. His face glowed, I don't know if it's natural or maybe he put something on it.
"I told you. It is nonsense and useless talking to them. The disaster already damaged my trust to you." Iniwas ko ang aking paningin upang hindi malunod sa asul na asul nyang mga mata. Nakapamulsa ito at bahagyang nakasandal sa ding ding.
I find his stance to be pa-cool. He doesn't looks like nanghihingi nang tawad though. Maybe that's the reason why I find him aggressive than being sorry.
