JEAN TOVIN

Ngiting ngiti akong nakauwi sa bahay. Sino bang hindi sasaya kapag nanggaling ka sa bahay ng crush mo?

Napawi na lang iyon nang sinalubong ako ng sapak ni Alkynes. She was crying at nakakahabag talaga ang pinapakita niya. I can't just shout at her right nw. I want to ask what happened. "Why are you crying?"

"You left me there! You left me, Kuya! How could you?! I waited for you! Kauuwi ko lang! Alkanes and Alkenes trekked on the forest just to fetch me!"

Napangiwi ako roon at nag-isip agad kung paano ako babawi sa kanya. I hugged her. "Shh... sorry..."

"Siguro... siguro nambababae ka... Kuya... why?"

Namataan kong nakahalukipkip si Mommy sa sofa at umiling iling.

"Baby, hindi ganun. I just..." spent my night with Dulcis, the apple of my eyes.

"Then where were you?!"

"I..."

"You came back here in the city without me! How could you, Kuya?!"

"S-sorry..." She slapped my face and my chest many times hanggang sa mapagod na siya. I wiped her cheeks with my shirt. Napaupo siya sa sofa at doon ko siya niyakap. "Sorry, Alkynes..." She fell asleep on my arms. Binuhat ko siya papunta sa kwarto namin. There I found the twins still sleeping. 9AM but still sleeping.

"Magpapasama pa sana ako sa bahay ni ate ganda..." she groaned after I let her lay on her bed.

I kissed her forehead. "Sorry talaga. Don't worry... babawi ako."

Bumaba ako at para akong pinagbagsakan ng langit at lupa dahil nakita ko si Mom na disappointed sa akin. "Iniwan mo si Alkynes."

"Sorry, Mommy..."

"Saan ka ba galing?"

"Kina Huon, Mom." She's doubting and I don't mind it. Tovin, ang gago mo!

"Hindi pa siya nakatulog, ngayon lang talaga. She waited for hours kahit nagmukha na siyang zombie." I felt the sting of guilt struck in my chest. "Luckily, their project was successful."

Sa kabila ng guilt ko, part of me is really happy. I'm happy for her last night. Sana mapuntahan ko ulit siya mamaya at mag-explain. To tell her I met a gorgeous woman whom I wanted to hold right now.

Nang nakapagpahinga ako, nagdrive na naman ako papunta kina Umber. Sana okay na rin yung dalawang yun. I knocked on the door. "Umber!"

Binuksan iyon ni Huon na gulong-gulo ang buhok pati damit.

"Oh? Kumusta naman kayo?" tanong kong may halong asar.

Nagsalin siya ng tubig saka nagmumog. "She's upstairs. She's crying."

I laughed. "Oh anong nangyari?"

"We got drunk last night. I-invite ka sana namin kaso out of coverage yang sa'yo."

"Then why is she crying?" Huon is not a bad guy kaya kampante ako. Siguro OA na naman si Umber kaya iyon umiiyak.

"Akala niya--"

"You!" sigaw ni Umber na bumababa sa hagdan habang nakaturo kay Huon. "You've stolen my being! Manyak ka! Gago! I hate you!"

"Red wine yun na natapon kagabi! Don't accuse me of those things! Hindi ko magagawa sa'yo iyon!"

Nawala lang ako, may nangyari na? Are you kidding me?

"Bro, huwag kang maniwala jan. I didn't touch her--"

"You kissed me! Torrid pa, Huon! Akala mo nalimutan ko?! Hindi! Huwag ka ng pa-virgin!"

"Argh! Bwisit!" Sinabunutan ni Huon ang sarili niya.

"Paano kung mabuntis ako?"

"That's not going to happen!" sagot naman ni Huon na gayon ay nakaturo na rin kay Umber.

"What the fvck? May tao po dito," I interfered.

They looked at me and blushed.

"May nangyari?" tanong ko.

"Wala!"

"Meron!"

Napakamot na lang ako sa ulo ko. Balik na kaya yata ako kay Dulcis? Damn, I miss her innocence. I miss her smooth skin. Oo, nahawakan ko siya saglit nang kinalas ko siya sa yakap niya sa akin kagabi. I am so lucky.
