Can You be My Capillary

"Bimpo mo, Kyle–"

Iyon ang huli kong narinig kay Inay nang makalabas ako sa bahay. I even heard a frustrated sigh bago ko pabagsak na isinarado ang pinto.

Carrying a bag pack on one shoulder while wearing the seem to be unwearable slippers, I almost ran the road just to go to the meeting place.

Countless missed calls on my phone and until now it's still vibrating. Ayokong sagutin dahil sa pagmamadali. Lakad-takbo na ang ginagawa ko.

My toungue just wanna rest out, with the exhaustion.

Bago pa lumawit ang dila ko ay natanaw ko na ang isang nakaparadang color maroon SUV sa kanto ng Katamanan.

Nakapamaywang ang isang babaeng nakasandal doon. With her bored face and furrowed eyes she immediately shifted her gaze on me as I was approaching near her.

She was wearing an spaghetti strap dress ending an inch or two below her knees with a floral design. Paired with a dark brown flat scandal.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail which made her collarbones and a bit private skin exposed. I gulped a lump on my throat with the bizzare sight.

Unti-unti nang umaaliwalas ang lukot ng mukha niya nang tuluyan na akong makalapit.

She was scanning me from head to toe. I was wearing blue baggy shorts partnered with half sleeve polo with flower print on top. And of course, my blue flip flops.

Side of her lips rose up to form a satisfying smirk. She put her arms and crossed it on her chest while nodding. Mocking.

I tilted my head as she was still doing her scene. She was like a panelist in a thesis defense.

"Aren't we going? Batangas is far, humans."

I heared a rant from inside as the window of passenger seat gone down. Iniluwa non si Joshua. Displaying his bored look and monotonous aura.

Wait? So...we.are.going.with.Joshua?

Nice.

I saw how Rosie made a face and rolled her eyes on him. Isinara naman ni Joshua ang bintana after that.

"Let's go?" She said. Sounded so excited with this trip.
Ang hirap palang magbiro kay Rosie. Lahat ginagawang totoo.

I nodded on her.

Nang tumalikod siya sa akin ay nagulat na lamang ako sa nakita. So, aside from spaghetti strapped...her dress is also backless, exposing her milk skin back. Namilog ang mga mata ko at sandaling natulala roon.

I jumped a little as she turned her back on me. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. I heared her giggled ans laughed a little. Bago ibalik ang paningin sa pinto ng SUV.

Ilang beses niyang sinubukang buksan ang sliding door but, to no avail. I decided to offer a hand but, she knocked on it. Probably she was commanding Joshua to open the door for her.

I stepped once back while waiting. Inialis ko na rin ang pagkakasakbit sa balikat ko ng aking bag para mas madaling makapasok if ever.

I heared a clicking sound from inside. Hudyat na naka-unlock na ang pinto.

"Ako na..." Usal ko kay Rosie.

"Naks! Gentleman." Mocking me in my chivalry act.

She stepped back and let me open it for us. Gustong-gusto ko na rin talagang umupo actually.

Nang mahawakan ko na ang handle at mahigit ito ay laking gulat ko nang salubungin ako ng mga namimilog na mga mata ng dalawang babaeng nakaupo sa magkasunod na hilera ng upuan.
