Love in Bangketa

31

"What are these mess, Xynnah? Why do you have... a cartolina here. They're so many!" Aezy exclaimed as soon as she reached the doorstep of my room. To my surprise, she wasn't bringing her laptop. Good thing, as well, because I didn't want to see her looking stressed again.

"I was doing... a banner-kinda thing," I replied while cutting out the letters I've outlined earlier. This was way too cheesy, alright?! I get it! Iniisip ko nga kung itutuloy ko pa ba.

After a week when we confessed each other's feelings, akala ko joke lang 'yon sa kaniya. Akala ko joke lang na crush niya rin ako just because I said na crush ko rin siya. It was... unexpected, so I kinda thought it wasn't real.

"Banner? For what?" She asked while scrutinizing what I was doing.

"My crush and I... we're M.U na,"

Her lips formed into O. "What?! Really?! How come?!"

I laughed. This was the first time I've seen her being this excited! "I'll make kwento later! I'm just gonna finish this,"

Nagulat ako dahil tinabihan pa niya ako. Kinuha niya rin ang isang gunting. "I'll help you finish immediately para makapag kwento ka na!" She giggled.

Tomorrow afternoon, pinili ko na ang damit na susuotin ko. I was confused what to wear at first, but Max chatted me na kahit ano raw naman isuot ko as long as I'm comfortable wearing it.

Hindi ko na siya nireplyan at inilingan na lang. I asked Aezy one more time kung sasama ba siya sa'kin, but she told me that a homework suddenly came up kaya hindi muna raw siya makakasama. Before going out, dinala ko na rin ang ginawa kong banner.

There were so many tao in the court! Parang sobrang pinaghandaan talaga nila 'to! Some of them were also bringing a cooler. Mayroong nasa kabilang side na may sariling team, mayroon din kung saan ako nakaupo ngayon.

"Teh, taga rito ka ba? Parang hindi kita nakita sa nakaraang liga," A... gay wearing a cut tela na may 'GO TARANTHADERS' ang ginawa niyang bandana sa ulo niya.

I've also noticed that most of the people on this side were wearing the same bandana as he was wearing. I gulped. Ano ba itong pinasok ko for you, Max?

"Uh... no po. Hindi ako taga rito, but I am here to support Max in his basketball game,"

"Ha? Si Max lang na-gets ko. Dumudugo na yata dalawang butas ko, gurl. Basta, kung marinig kitang nangh-hate, cakes out kita rito, gurl, ha! Ito, suotin mo 'tong bandana. Jerica?! Jerica! Bigyan mo nga 'to ng isa pang bandana!"

Lumapit sa'kin ang babaeng familiar because I'm sure nakita ko na siya! When I tried to remember more... yeah, right. Siya yung laging bumubuntot kay Max.
