A Far-fetched Love ✓

"Kakaalis ko lang, bakit tumawag ka kaagad?"

"Because you didn't call."

"Bakit naman ako tatawag sa'yo, eh, kakaalis ko nga lang?"

"To check on me if you left me in good shape."

"I left you in good shape."

"But you didn't make sure."

"Kael, ano ba?"

"I'm bored, kwentuhan mo 'ko."

"Ano'ng ikukwento ko?"

"Anything."

"Nasa jeep ako, pwedeng mamaya na?"

"Why?"

"Kasi nakakahiya naman sa mga katabi ko, maiingayan sila."

"Ikinakahiya mo 'ko?"

"Hindi. Ang sinasa—"

He ended the call without hearing me out. 'Di na ako nag-abala pang tumawag at itinago ko na lang muna ang phone ko. Malamang nag-iinarte lang 'yon.

Pagkarating ko sa school I texted him na nakarating na 'ko at may klase na ako kaya hindi ako makakapag-text.

But I don't think he read my text because my phone vibrated afterwards. He was calling.

"I'm hungry."

"Kumain ka. Nasa trabaho ka 'di ba? Bumili ka."

"I didn't go to work."

"Bakit?"

"Off. Duh. Where are you?"

"Ka-te-text ko lang sa 'yo, Kael, nasa school na 'ko."

"I didn't receive any message."

"Baka late receiver ka."

"No, you didn't text me. You're lying."

"Bakit naman ako magsisinungaling?!"

"'Cause you're trying to violate my eleventh rule."

"Why will I do that?"

"I don't know."

"Nagtext ako sa 'yo. I can even send you a proof that I did."

"And how?"

"I'll send you a screenshot on messenger. Ano'ng account name mo sa messenger?"

"I don't have one."

"What?! So, wala ka nga talagang social media accounts like messenger?!"

"Don't shout!"

"Don't shout, too."

"I don't have a messenger."

"Gumawa ka."

"Ayoko."

"Then don't."

"Tsk."

"What?"

With that, he ended the call again.

Nag-start na rin ang klase ko minutes after our call, so I opted to keep my phone. 

Not more than a long moment later, I felt it vibrating for number of times at sigurado akong s'ya 'yon. Mali yata ang desisyon kong kinuha ang number n'ya dahil dinaig n'ya pa ang jowa sa pagiging clingy n'ya sa text at tawag.
