“Wala kang pag asa dun, reto na lang kita sa iba.” Sumimangot ako kay Eros, potang inang to. Kaibigan ko ba talaga to? Tangina akala ko kapag friends dapat supportive!
“Ganyan ba kapag broken hearted? Pati matataas inaabot?” Napakamot na lang ako ng ulo sa kakambal ko.
Tangina ah! Wala akong kakampi dito.
“Bakit naman wala akong pag asa, tang ina nyo naman. Mabait kaya sya sakin.”
“Ay weh?” Singit ni Trav kaya binato ko sya ng unan na nasa couch ng bar na pinuntahan namin.
“Alam mo, masyadong unrealistic na gusto mong abutin si Miss! Hanap ka na lang ng iba! Marami akong pwedeng ireto sayo!” Ngumiting aso lang ako kay Eros, walang kwenta ampota.
“Weird mo, isipin mo, crush mo na pala sya una pa lang tapos sa kanya ka nagpa arrange ng engagement party mo? Ulol ano yun huling pagkakasala bago mag asawa?”
“Tanga di ko naman sya pinormahan nun.”
Aminado naman akong crush na crush ko talaga sya non. Pota laughtrip talaga yung unang usap naming sa IG, muntik na kong madulas sa airport non sa sobrang hiya. Nudes ampota.
“Alam mo kung gusto mo talaga si Miss, ichat mo na, baka mamaya may bumalik tapos maunahan ka pa.” Napakamot ako sa ulo bago ko kinuha yung cellphone ko sa bulsa. Sa totoo lang, simula nung nagbreak kami ni Zeren, lagi akong tambay sa IG profile nya. Tangina, hindi naman nya malalaman yon di ba?
Tangina ewan ko ba, ang lakas ng amats ko don.
Ilang minuto rin akong nakatunganga sa profile nya bago ako binatukan ni Lux.
“Ang potang ina!”
“Chat mo na tanga!” Asar nya sakin kaya humugot ako ng malalim na hininga saka ko pinindot yung message board nya.
LordCytherLangMalakas
Hi.
My eyebrows met when I read his message.
RukiaHenelise
Yes, how may I help you?
He seened my message and I saw his typing status immediately.
LordCytherLangMalakas
Muka ba ko laging nangangailangan tuwing magchachat ako sayo? Laging mo kong sinasagot ng how may I help you, foundation ka ba?
I’m confused whether I’ll laugh or get irritated with his reply but I messaged him back anyway.
RukiaHenelise
No, but I’m an organizer.
LordCytherLangMalakas
Ako din organizer.
Rukia Henelise
???
LordCytherLangMalakas
Oo, organizer ako ng sarili ko. Kakaplano kong ichat ka ayun nachat din kita.
RukiaHenelise
Congratulations for being able to chat me, gagawan na ba kita ng cert?
LordCytherLangMalakas
Salamat salamat! Achievement yon. Pwede basta ikaw yung cert.
Is he trying to flirt with me or something?
RukiaHenelise
Inaantok ka ba? O lasing ka?
LordCytherLangMalakas
Sabi na nga ba ganyan ang sagot.
Pahinga ka na Miss, para may pambawi ka sa mga susunod mong event.
I just seen-ed him and check Vince’s message board. No message, pero nasa story nya na magkasama sila ni Shiela. I sighed and message Cyther again.
RukiaHenelise
Are you busy?
LordCytherLangMalakas
Di naman haha!
RukiaHenelise
Up for a drink?
LordCytherLangMalakas
Sige san?
I just sent him the bar’s address and changed my outfit before going. I wore a black off shoulder and a short leather skirt which goes five inches above my knee paired with a black five inch stiletto. Nagbook na lang ako ng grab since baka malasing ako and I might just get to an accident if I try to drive.
I saw Cyther sitting on stool on the bar counter when I arrived at the place. The bar is not loud, chill lang yung music and hindi rin maingay ang mga taong nandon, it was a bar for more private people. I saw him playing with the ice in his glass filled with rum.
“Hey.” I said to call up his attention. He turned to me and gave me a warm smile.
“Wassap kulisap miss.” He said energetically. I smiled at him and got myself a glass of tequila.
“Let’s go somewhere else.” I told him and lead him upstairs, sa rooftop where there was no one and the city lights are overlooking. “Wala kang flight?” I asked him and he leaned on the railings.
“Nakaleave ako.” He answered and sip on his glass. “Ikaw? Wala kayong event bukas? Ayos ka lang uminom?” I gave him a nod.
Cyther and I were not exactly friends. Actually, hindi ko alam, I just know we’re so casual around each other since we worked together in his event. Wala naman sigurong masama if we have a drink together, just as acquaintances.
“How are you?” Tanong nya sakin and I laughed at his question.
“I should be the one asking you that, how are you? I heard you broke up with your fiancée.” His eyes widened a little so I chuckled.
“Uy chismosa.” I glared at him so he made a gulp. “Joke lang, bawal mag biro?” I rolled my eyes on him and I heard him laugh.
“Okay lang ako, wala eh! Di sya mapakali.” I look at him and he was staring at the city lights. His eyes reflected those and his face was lit up by the dim lights around the place. “Pakakasalan mo na nga’t lahat puro pa rin bintang ng pagiging babaero sakin. Awit tayo dyan.” He sip on his rum and laughed.
“Wasted efforts.” I commented and tasted my tequila.
“Di naman, naging masaya naman ako dun eh! Edi hindi yun wasted.” He retorted and that made me think.
The things which made you happy aren’t all a waste just because they didn’t turn out the way you want them to be. Makes sense.
“Ikaw? Kamusta?” He asked and faced me, his side is still resting on the railings.
“Fine?”
“Look, I’m trying to figure out what kind of person are you. Ang hirap mo naman basahin.” He said, looking at me, I chuckled upon his retort and tilted my head to him.
“Bakit? Crush mo ko?” Hi eyes widened in surprise and coughed. “You only wonder about people for two reasons, first, you hate them, and second you like them. I believe you have no reason to hate me.”
He smiled at me, obviously amused with what he just heard. He ran his fingers through his hair and chuckled.
”Well yeah, I like you.”
