UM: Chap 2

Jacks

"Where are they?" I asked our maid as I entered our house.

She bowed a bit before she answered. "Nasa business trip po, Ma'am. Kagabi pa po — " hindi ko na siya pinakinggan pa at tumaas na lamang papunta sa kwarto ko.

As usual, hindi pa ba ako nanibago? Lagi namang wala ang mga magulang ko dito. I threw my bag on the couch and crawled on my bed. I stared at the ceiling when I remembered the guy from earlier again.

"Paano ako nakapasok sa room niya kung maling room card naman pala ang mayroon ako?" I asked myself.

I tried to remember what happened last night and minutes after, realization dawned on me as I remembered what happened before I went inside the elevator and inside the room!

"Oh! I'm.. I'm sorry!" ang biglaan kong pag-yuko ay ang naging dahilan upang mas lalo akong mahilo. Parehong nahulog ang hotel room cards namin. I shut my eyes before I took my card on the floor. Parang gusto ko na lamang humilata sa sahig dahil hindi ko na ata kakayanin pang maglakad papunta sa room ko matapos kong makabangga! Naalog na ata ang buong pagkatao ko.

The guy looks drunk too but I just apologized and already turned my back against him. I already had my card. I went inside the elevator and quickly leaned on the wall after I pushed the button of my floor.

I frustratedly ruffled my hair and sat on my bed.

"That's it! We accidentally exchanged our cards when we bumped to each other! Why haven't I check on the card that I got first? Very stupid, Lily," I whispered to myself and was about to lay on the bed again when I realized something again.

"If we exchanged cards.. how did he entered the room? I got his room card. Paano siya nakapasok kung room card ko naman ang nasa kaniya?" naguguluhan kong tanong.

"Magician ba siya at nabuksan niya ang pinto ng kwarto?" Isinubsob ko na lang ang mukha ko sa unan at pinilit matulog. Salamat na lang dahil nakatulog nga ulit ako sa kama ko.

I groaned when my phone rang. Inis kong inabot ang phone ko sa bed side table at sinagot ang tawag. Antok na antok pa ako!

"What?!" pinindot ko ang speaker dahil tinatamad akong hawakan pa ang phone. Kahit nakapikit ako ay nakakunot pa rin ang noo ko sa inis na naputol ang pagtulog ko.

"Why are you shouting, Lily? Are you sleeping? Did I wake you up?" I looked at the screen and scoffed when I saw Deity's name on the screen.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. What made you call at this hour?"

I heard her sighed so I opened my eyes and held my phone. Bigla akong nag-alala.

"Lily.." narinig ko siyang umiyak sa kabilang linya. Napaupo ako at nataranta.

"Did something bad happened to you?" I bit my lip.

"T-There's a guy l-last night.." my lips parted.

"D-Does your V-card g-got stolen already?! You already gave it up?! Deity! Answer me!" napatayo na ako sa kama ko at kinuha ang susi ng kotse na nasa rack.

I was about to stormed out of my room when she finally answered that literally made me stop on my tracks.

"My.. first kiss. He stole it!" umawang ang labi ko. Napapikit ako at napa-upo sa sahig.

"Deity! 'Yun lang?!" inis kong tanong at binalik sa rack ang susi ng kotse ko. "What the hell.. akala ko you already give up your V-card!"

"What? You replied na 'yun lang?' My first kiss means a lot for me! I want to give it for the right guy! But that—that guy on the dance floor stole it last night!" mahabang paliwanag niya at umiyak ulit. Tumayo ako at kinuha na lang muli ang susi ng kotse ko.
