No matter how strong I think I am now, I can't deny the fact that I still have fears. For now I want to be alone, unattached and uncommitted but I know being in that state has its own liabilities. I'm scared that I'm gonna be in that state for too long. And right now, my biggest fear is that I will become too comfortable with the idea of being lonely for the rest of my life.
Nagising ako sa ingay ng mga katok sa pintuan. Nagmulat ako ng aking mga mata hanggang sa mapagtanto kong wala ako sa aking nakasanayang kwarto. Nakabalot ang isang makapal na kumot sa akin at nang subukan kong alisin ito ay nalaman kong wala akong saplot sa aking katawan.
"Oh god..." I murmured after memories of last night's casual sex flashed on my mind. It replayed like there's no cue.
Isang baling ko sa aking kanan ay natanaw ko ang natutulog na lalaking estranghero, sinilip ko ang ilalim ng kumot at nalamang wala rin itong suot na damit. Ngunit kahit na ganoon ay napansin kong gising pa ang junjun niya. Oh crap!
"Fuck." I hissed when I realized the reason why I resorted into this crazy idea is becauseI I got possessed by the spirit of alcohol I drank last night.
Making out with a complete stranger, really Harper? This isn't your thing. And you could've done better than this. You could have at least know his name first before grabbing what's underneath his pants!
Talking to myself feels even crazier!
The knocking on the door continues. And a voice of a woman was heard. Hindi pa man ako tuluyang nakaahon sa kama ay narinig ko ang tunog ng lock at kalansing ng susi. Napahinto ako at pinakinggan ang ingay na iyon.
Milliseconds after, I saw the doorknob moved. Followed by the opening of the door, my eyes darted to the woman who rushed inside as I saw horror in her eyes upong seeing me. She looks younger than me but...
"Mga walang hiya kayo! Ang bababoy niyo!" nagsimula itong humagulgol ng iyak at nag-hysterical.
I was about to ask her what's wrong when she removed her shoulder bag and hit the sleeping man beside me with it. She turned even more ballistic with her eyes filled with rage.
"Boris! Gumising ka riyan! Napakawalang hiya mo! Ang dami-dami mong ipapalit sa akin ito pang..." tumigil siya at saka bumaling sa akin, pagkatapos ay ako naman ang pinagbuntunan niya ng kanyang galit.
She threw the bag on me but I dodged it, though she jumped into the bed and was able to scratch my back with her nails. Sinubukan kong lumayo at umiwas sa kanya dahil sa takot at napapikit na lamang sa naramdamang hapdi sa aking likuran.
What the fuck is happening?! Who is this woman? Why is she acting like this? Why is she....
Oh god. Don't tell me. Don't tell me this guy is in a relationship and this woman is his.... fucking girlfriend?!
He has a girlfriend. Oh my god! The man I slept with has a freaking girlfriend!
The sleeping man groaned and eventually opened his eyes. Agad itong napabalikwas nang makita ang nagngangalit na babae.
"Abigail? Shit! Why are you here?" hinatak niya ang kumot upang takpan ang hubad na katawan. Nakipag-agawan pa ako sa kumot dahil ako naman ang masisilipan. Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin niya sa akin at sa babaeng naghihinagpis.
"Kaya pala ilang araw ka nang walang paramdam?! Hayop ka! Ilang araw nalang ikakasal na tayo tapos ito pa ang maaabutan ko?!" nagwawala na ang babae na animo'y nakawalang hayop sa kanyang koral.
Malapit nang ikasal? So he's engaged to this woman? Oh god! Did I just ruin someone's wedding?
I looked at the man and made sure that my eyes are like knives. Napaawang ang labi nito, hindi magawang magpaliwanag sa akin dahil sa babaeng nagwawala sa aming harapan.
