Siete
Balisa man ay pinilit ko yung kinalimutan base na rin sa sinabi ni Chanson kagabi.
It was midnight when still, I couldn't sleep. I still have this nervousness in me. Hindi ako mapakali, kahit anong pikit at pagbaling ko ay wala lang din yung saysay. Kaya naman I decided to call Chanson.
"Hello?"
"What the hell Chanson?! Kaya mo ba ako hinahanap dahil nasa peligro si Dianne?! And why did you lie na maayos lang ang lagay ni Dianne when in fact she was not!" Singhal ko agad agad rito. Dinig ko naman ang pag hinga nito nang malalim sa kabilang linya.
"I'm sorry, nakalimutan ko na yung number na binigay ko sa lalaking yun ay yung number nang phone na hawak mo pa. And anyway, yes, sinadya ko talagang hindi sabihin sa 'yo since alam kong mag aalala ka."
Pero hindi nya sinagot ang isa pa.
"How's Dianne?! Ayos lang ba sya o talagang nakuha sya?!"
"Nakuha sya ni Allen. He's using you as a barter kapalit ni Dianne."
"Kaya mo ba ako hinahanap? Para maibigay kay Allen?" Mahinang saad ko.
"Nung una, yes, pero habang tumatagal ay nagkakaroon na rin ako nang doubt. I m sorry, pero swear, ngayon ay puro na ang intensyon ko and that is to keep you safe for the sake of my favorite cousine." Aminin ko man o hindi, alam kong kahit papaano ay nakaramdam ako nang kaginhawaan pero sa isiping nasa panganib si Dianne ay hindi pa rin ako mapakali.
"How about Dianne? Makukuha mo ba sya? May tali ka na, isang buwan ang binigay nitong deadline. Anong plano mo?"
"Sa ngayon ay wala pa. But don't worry, I invented something na makakatulong para kay Dianne upang hindi sya magalaw. I know na tinatakot lang nya ako. But the device or should I say, the thing that I invented helped her a lot, nakakapag usap rin kami through her earrings and she said that we don't need to worry anything. I know my cousin, kaya naman nun makipagbuno kahit na pandak." I want to laugh at what he said. True, Dianne is the literal proof of the word small but terrible. She's so scary when it comes to fighting.
Nakahinga ako nang maluwag doon. I don't want to sound selfish pero bakit pakiramdam ko ay yun ang lumalabas? Damn it Ode! Nag aalala rin naman ako, I was even thinking to surrender myself but when I heard about the invention ay nawala rin ang thought na yun. Panandaliang pagka kampante ang naramdaman ko dun. I am quite convince na kakayanin ni Dianne ito since may tulong ni Chanson. And I also know na hindi rin yun papayag na hindi maka suntok kapag sinuntok ito.
"Please, let's meet tomorrow. Sa starbucks sana and I want you to fill me up with informations on what's happening."
"I thought wala ka pang plano malaman ang nangyayari?"
"The reason was changed. Tss... this matter is getting longer and older. I need to at least know some tidbits."
"Well, then. Be ready, goodnight." I ended the call without saying goodnight. Ang tungkol naman sa earrings ay alam ko, Chanson is an inventor. Marami syang bagay na kayang imbentuhin. And maybe that includes his latest invention na ginagamit ngayon ni Dianne. The earrings that Dianne's currently using that can help them communicate with each other.
Dahil alas quatro pa lang nang madaling araw ay confident akong naglakad papalabas nang kwarto at pumunta sa kusina. Sheena and others are already maybe here since it is there daily routine. I am holding the shave that I was thinking to give back, hindi ko naman kasi nagagamit eh. I have no pubic hairs on my vagina and armpits. I don't know but it was just natural na hindi ko na kailangan ang wax or plucking of some hair.
