“Hello?”
“Have you heard the announcement last week?” Inis na tiningnan ko kung sino ang tumawag, and when I saw the name of Chris ay mabilis kong inilagay ulit sa aking tenga ang cellphone ko.
“No. Bye.” I immediately ended the call and threw my phone beside me. Naghahanda na ulit pumikit ang mata ko ng biglang may tumunog ulit.
“What?” I’m really having a hard time on my life right now, wala pa akong tulog na hindi aabot sa limang oras. And I’m really pissed of this man’s voice on my phone.
“Sophia Andrea Dawson! Did you just hang up my call?” I mentally rolled my eyes at inis na gumulong gulong sa higaan ko.
“What do you want?”
“I want you here on the studio before 10 o’clock, or else.” And he ended my call. What the?
But, am I threatened? No.
So I peacefully lay again. Gigil na niyakap ko ang malambot kong unan. And when I felt comfortable, ay saka ko dahan dahang ipinikit ang mga mata. And I’m off to Dreamland.
Pero ang alam kong masarap na tulog sana’y naudlot ng sunod-sunod na tumunog ang doorbell. I was about to ignore it pero ang cellphone ko naman ang tumunog.
“Who the fucking hell is you?” Nabaling ang pagkainis ko sa taong tumatawag sa akin. And I don’t feel sorry about my words. Malas niya at siya ang nakaabot sa inis ko.
“Your mouth, woman.” Halos lumaki na ang butas ng ilong ko ng mabasa ko kung sino ang caller. Handa na sana akong sigawan siya pero inunahan niya ako.
“Open your door.” Padabog na tinungo ko ang pinto. And when I saw him leaning on the wall ay saka ko siya sinunggaban ng suntok.
“Are you playing games again? Kitang natutulog yung tao eh.” I punched his arms continuesly, saka lamang ako napatigil ng hawakan niya ako sa kamay saka hinila papasok sa kuwarto.
“Have you forgotten what I said? Ang sabi ko ay magpunta ka sa studio bago mag alas-dyes. Now look at you, nakapantulog ka pa rin hanggang ngayon?” I was just doing make faces while he’s rattling and bossing around.
“And have you forgotten that I never said anything about what you are demanding?” Now, he’s furiously looking at me while his hands are on the both side of his hips. I raised my brow saka ginaya din ito pero mas lalo ata itong nagalit dahil tinalikuran niya ako.
“Still the same brat I knew.” He whispered but still I heard what he said. Kaya naman ay aambahan ko sana siyang susuntukin pero humarap din ito agad. He handed me a towel which he took from my closet. Pabalibag ko itong kinuha sa kaniya saka ko ito inirapan bago tumalikod.
“Still the same jerk I knew.” I look at him one more time. Bago isarado ang pinto ay tinignan ko muna siya ng masama. But he just gave me a blank stare.
“It’s 9:48 before ten. So you only have 12 minutes to prepare. I’ll wait for you outside.” I smiled wickedly as I lay on the tub. 12 minutes? Nah.
I was busy humming when I heard a loud knock coming from the outside.
“Sophia!” Labag sa loob na tumayo ako at nagpunta sa shower para magbanlaw. And when I’m done, pumasok ako sa kabilang pinto na naka konekta sa walk in closet ko. I just wear a simple crop top shirt paired with denim jeans.
At nang lumabas ako ay sandamakmak na sermon ang ibinigay niya sa akin. Hanggang sa makarating kami sa studio ay ang bunganga lang niya ang nagbubukas sara. I never open my mouth the entire ride. Pinapakinggan ko lang ito.
