I was naglalakad sa kasalukuyan nang ako'y tinawag ng aking pakening pinsan.
"Hoy, Garuda!"
"Oh?"
"May ipapagawa kami sa'yo gurl."
"And what is that na naman ha?"
"Ayt, diba crush mo si Entong?"
"Why mo nasabi insan? Don't make agaw-agaw him saken ah."
"Gagz, ba't ko naman aagawin eh mukhang kulangot 'yun."
"Narinig ko 'yon hoy!"
"Osigee, eto na taraga. Ide-dare kita ng oplan i-crushback ng crush mo!"
Agad nag-light ang aking peys and ngiti pagkatapos.
"Tsk. Nubayan apaka easy naman ng work mo for me, insan."
"At kung hindi ka niya ika-crushback ay sunugin mo bahay niya kaya gawin mo na!"
"Now na?"
"Now na now na!"
Ako immediately uwi sa house para kumuha ng gas and posporo and then tungo na sa bahay ni crush.
Because I'm so maganda taraga, the barangay tanods make habol-habol me.
"Human po! Person po!" I katok to bahay ni crush.
May open the door sa kanilang bahay and nakita agad the kanyang gwapong peys.
"H-hi Entong."
"Oh Garuda, ano'ten?"
My eyes nanlaki sa aking narinig.
"Omaygwaad! Did you just sabe na o-oten?"
"Ano aten kako! Ambobo mo naman!"
Ouch.
"Ahh. May i-say kase me."
"Ano naman 'yun?"
"Crushback mo muna si me."
"Yuck, ayoko nga. Tingnan mo nga muna 'yang mukha mo."
"Bakit? What my peys ba?"
"Mukhang maso HAHAHAHA."
"So, you ayaw taraga i-crushback si me?"
"Ayoko nga HAHAHAHA."
Agad kong kinuha the gas and pumasok sa house nila and binuhos the gas.
"H-hoy Garuda! Ano 'yang ginagawa mo ha, bahay niy—"
"You don't crushback me kase."
Sinindan ko agad the posporo and tumakbo outside.
"Garuda!"
"Insan!"
"Tapos na ba?"
"Hah! Of course yes! And the bahay of crush is on fire na!"
I smile sa selpon ni insan na I know naka-video sabay laugh.
"Garuda! Bakit mo sinunog bahay niyo?" tanong ni pakening ex-crush in me.
"Huh?"
"Amin ung gas at posporong ginamit mo at bahay niyo ang sinunog mo!"
"An—what?!"
"Nagkapalit na bahay ang pinuntahan mo, Garuda! Apaka bobo mo talaga!" sigaw ni cousin.
