CHAPTER 12

For real

I woke up because of the sound of my phone. Damn! I immediately swipe the screen and answered the caller with my eyes closed.

"Damn you!" I ranted to whoever is the caller.

Swear! Natutulog pa 'yung tao eh!

I heard some chuckles over the phone. Kaya minulat ko na ang aking mata para tingnan kung sino ang tumatawag.

Si Nelly.

"Nelly?" I called her,

"Oh, sorry ha! Nagising 'yang diwa mo!" Nelly said it with sarcastic tone.

Kaya napabangon ako.

The cold wind blew, it made the curtains sway and my skin felt it. So, I immediately walked towards the glass window and close it.

"Hey, sorry. Naalimpungatan lang." Humiga ulit ako,

It's 3 am in the morning. Anong problema neto? Lasing kaya 'to?

I heard some soft sobs, "Hey! Nelly? Anong nangyari?" I was worried sick.

Shit. Kahit kailan bestfriend ko din 'tong si Nelly, ni minsan hindi rin ako pinabayan neto kahit gaga 'yan.

"Bukas na alis ko, di mo ba ako ihahatid?"

Napabuntong hininga ako. Buti nalang at gaga 'yan!

"Gaga! Ihahatid kita! Kahit pa puntang Singapore 'yan! Ano?" I joked her, "Di ka makatulog?" I added,

"Yes. Sorry for disturbing, neng." I heard her sighed.

"Bat ka umiyak?" I asked because I heard some soft sobs.

"Wala! Na carried away lang ako! Aalis na ako dito. Tangina!" Tumawa na lang ako 'dun. I even heard some click of bottles.

"Uy, 'wag kang pa hang over, neng! Aalis kang barag bukas! 'Yung sakto lang na makatulog ka."

"Oo nga, maglalasing para makatulog ng mahimbing." She laugh, then I heard her drink.

We stayed talking over the phone for an hour. When I saw that it's already 5am, I got worked up. 

Hindi na ako nakatulog pa ulit. Ewan ko ba.

I decided to go on a shower para makapagjogging ako. Nagulat na lang ako dahil sa pugto at masayadong malaking eyebags! Shit!
