"Anak, Kris. Anong oras ka na naman nauwi."
"Nay, I'm okay. I'm having fun."
"Lasing ka na naman, 'nak."
It was fun being drunk. Yes, I was drunk for the whole week. Ito kasing si Ipe, aya nang aya sa akin maki-party. Nagustuhan ko tuloy.
"Kris, how many times do I have to tell you. Please stop drinking. It's bad for your health."
patuloy na sermon ni ate habang ako papikit-pikit na ang mata."Ate, I'm okay. Philip is there naman to help me." I said.
"Simula nang dumating si Philip diyan, iba ka na kumilos, Kris."
"Ate, I'm just having fun. Tapos na ako sa pag-aaral. Also, there are opportunities na pwede kong pasukan. They like me." I said.
"O, siya. Gabi na diyan sa Amerika kaya matulog ka na. Good night. I will call you tomorrow."
"Yes ate. I love you." Sabay patay ko ng phone.
"Hoy! Kris! Kung ipapahiya mo ako sa mga amigas ko, seeing you on a cheap party with guys. Pwede bang umuwi ka na lang ng Pinas! Since day 1 sakit ulo ka talaga sa akin." Patuloy na rant ng tita ko.
Umagang-umaga. Wala man lang how are you, good morning, o 'di kaya, How's the party?
"Tita, I was with Philip. He could catch me naman." I said sabay subo ng cereal na breakfast ko this morning.
"Yes, are you aware that Ipe has a lot of girlfriends?" She said habang nakapamewang.
"Tita, Philip is not my boyfriend. He's my friend." Tumayo ako at kumuha ng malamig na tubig sa ref.
"Boyfriend man or friends. I don't care. I just want to tell you. na huwag mo akong ipahiya sa mga amigas ko!" She shouted sabay alis aa bahay namin.
" 'nak. Kristina, please behave naman just like before." My nanay lolita said.
Nanay Lolita has been my tagapag-alaga nang mapunta ako sa States, siya ang inassign ng tita ko dahil siya rin nag-alaga kay mama noong nag-aaral pa si mama dito rin sa States. 6 years since lumipad ako from the Philippines. Nothing change naman, except sa pagiging party girl ko.
Lumipat si Philip sa States, noong ikatlong taon ko rito sa states. Magkaklase kami kaya, naging magkaibigan kami. We talked a lot of things, but he never talked about Hans.
I already moved on. pero hindi maiwasan na sumasagi siya sa isip ko. Wala man lang paramdam, or kahit mabalitaan kong hinahanap niya ako.
Biglang may kumatok sa pintuan at binuksan ito ni Nanay. Habang ako naman kinuha ko ang gatas sa ref pagkatapos ko uminom ng tubig.
"Good Morning po, nay." pagbati ng lalaki.
Si Philip pala.
"Why are you early? " I asked.
"I just want to invite you to have a dinner with Wil and Shalani. Do you still remember them?" He said.
Nandito na rin sila?
"Really? they're here. Wow! kulang na lang si Hans,may reunion na tayo." biro ko sabay upo ko.
"Are you coming?" He asked
"Of course. Maupo ka na muna rito, paghahanda kita pagkain."
tumayo ako at tumungo sa kusina, malapit lang naman ang kusina kaya matatanaw ko si Philip even siya sa akin.
"You had fun?" back hug ni Philip sa akin.
"Let me think of that." Biro ko.
"Let us do that once again." He whispered
