I was not the type to get affected with petty matters such as being discriminated against due to my physique. Pero kay Kael? Iba talaga ang epekto niya.
Natapos ang usapang hinaharap namin kahapon, pero hindi ko inaasahang uungkatin na naman niya ngayon.
"Bakit naka-paddings ka na naman?" he asked as he took a seat in the dining area.
"May problema ka ba?" pagtataray ko.
"The problem isn't with me, it's with your breast," titig na titig niyang sabi sa dibdib ko.
"What is wrong with my breasts?" nakapameywang kong tanong.
"They are the same size as that of a girl who is just about to hit her puberty."
"Does that bother you?" Lumapit ako sa kanya at nakipagtitigan.
"It does," he said in a serious tone while holding my gaze.
"And why?!" inis na tanong ko. Napabalikwas ako ng tingin sa kanya.
"I'm starting to entertain the possibility that I am roofing a man and not a woman judging by your....your walls."
"My what?!"
"Your walls."
Gago pala talaga 'to, eh!
"Babae ako! Every inch of me resembles a woman! And to vary your remark, wouldn't that be a favor for you to roof a man since you like walls?"
He let out an annoying cackle.
"And your defensiveness made my statement more viable. Come clean to me, Shimon. Are you a transgender whose finances were inadequate to get breasted or you solely endowed much of it for what you have now down there?"
"Kumain ka mag-isa mo r'yan! Mabulunan ka sana!" Padabog akong umalis papunta sa kwarto ko.
I heard him let out sniggers as I strode my way to my room but I didn't bother to turn my head to his direction.
"Sana paglabas ko, nakaalis na s'ya for work," I murmured to myself and plopped on my bed.
Sa sobrang inis ko mga unan ko ang napagdiskitahan kong ipagbabato sa sahig. But I don't know how thick faced he could be that minutes later I heard consecutive knocks from my door. Hindi ko na lang pinansin. Kaming dalawa lang naman ang nandito sa condo n'ya, malamang s'ya 'yon.
"Hey, preppy highschooler," I heard him say.
Get lost!
"Lock the door, I'm leaving. Someone might crash into my place and see you. I don't want to get jailed for lodging a minor and surely, you won't like to spend half of your puberty, developing your breasts at DSWD."
Hindi talaga titigil!
"Shimon."
Manigas ka r'yan!
"You know how much I care for my belongings, so get out from there and lock the door. I can't ask your breasts--if there is--to do that, can I?"
Fuck you!
"Follow my command and I'll help you get breasted."
Bakla ka!
Inis na inis kong binuksan ang pinto para magtigil na s'ya. Bumungad sa akin ang ngiti niyang nakaloloko.
Ramdam na ramdam ko ang paglukot ng mukha ko at pagkulo ng dugo ko. Ang lakas niya mang-asar, pero no'ng mga nauna daig pa ang nagme-menopause.
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my own words. Kailan mo gustong magpalagay?" he teased.
