I'm back from my nightmare baby ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•~•
"Bro," I said after I answered my phone. Justin have so many missed call, I don't know if it's 75 or 76, I only know that it is freaking 2 in the morning.
"Bro, I saw her," he told me.
"Who?" I asked in curiosity, I think it's Mari, the girl of her dreams.
"Your girl," he told me. I stop for a second because I don't know who's girl? I don't have a girl.
"Lol, stop kidding me. You know that Law first before other," I told him. After I entered Law school I focused myself on studying. I don't even bothered if my friends are getting married, I love law so law first before girls.
"Believe me, your girl is in my bar. And gosh, she's dancing wild. She's hot pala in person," agad na kumunot ang noo ko. 'In person?' I question myself. 'Sino naman ang babaeng ito?'
"Bro, pumunta ka na rito o uuwing 'di na birhen 'tong si Faithy," after he said the name of the girl, I automatically get up from my bed and go there. I'm wearing a white shirt with a baybayin name of mine in the upper right. Just a Adidas pants and slippers. I don't care if I'm going to the club. All I want to do is to drag Denise and go home.
"Where is she?" I ask Justin as I entered the club. Sinalubong ako nang malaking ngiti ng gago. I frowned at him. "Don't tell me, niloloko mo lang ako na nandito s'ya?" I ask him.
"Sira, nasisiyahan lang ako na law before girls ang motto mo pero nandito ka para kay Denise. Btw, she's in the VIP na, nilagay ko na s'ya roon para hindi ka mastress. Send ko nalang video sa'yo habang sumasayaw s'ya kanina para may pagpantasyahan ka." Justin said playfully. Gusto ko s'yang sapakin. Agad n'ya akong hinila papunta sa VIP room kung saan naroon si Denise.
She's pouting, and she's cute. I should not imagine this kind of things, she's not my girl anymore. Agad nito kaming tinignan ng masama.
"You! Tatin, why did you do this to me? I'm partying! I'm happy tapos pinagkakait mo pa!" He said pointing on Justin. "And you!" Biglang turo nito sa akin. "Why are you here?! Aren't you busy with law school? Go back to your readings I'm fine here!" She said glaring at me.
"I'm here to bring you home." I said casually. Kahit na hindi ko na s'ya pagmamay-ari ay kailangan ko paring tuparin ang pangako ko sa lola ko. I know how much she love Denise' grandmother, that's why I need to do everything for Denise.
"No need I can drive," bigla itong natumba nang ito ay tumayo. Agad naman akong umalalay sa kanya. "You! Umalis ka nga! Nagmo-move on na 'yung tao e!" Duro nito sa akin.
"Denise you're drunk, please, ngayon lang. Ihahatid lang kita, tapos hindi na ulit ako magpapakita sa'yo." She's always been like this. She's always making her shield too hard, for me. Maybe because I cause too much pain for her. Maybe...
After I said those words, I hear she snore, meaning she's asleep. Binuhat ko s'ya bridal style at agad na inilabas s'ya sa bar. Hindi ko alam kung saan ko s'ya dadalhin. Hindi ko s'ya pwedeng iuwi sa bahay nila dahil baka magulat ang mga katulong. I tried to call her cousin, pero hindi ako sinasagot nito. May galit pa rin ata sa akin. So I call one of her friend, Tala.
"Why?" She asked me. Mukhang bagong gising ito.
"You, know? I'm with Denise and she's drunk. I don't know where should I put her." I honestly told her.
"Oh, come on, she's your wife. Take care of her. Bye." As she said bye, I heard a baby crying calling 'mama'. Is she has a husband now? How about Adam? Oh well, he has a wife now.
Dahil hindi ko na alam kung saan ko dadalhin si Denise, dinala ko nalang s'ya sa condo namin noon. This condo was a gift from our grandparents. They want us to be together that's why, even though I have a girlfriend that time and they made us live together. And I hate it.
I lay her on her bed, yes, her bed. Because even we live together we don't share our beds. After laying her in her bed I saw that there's something falling in her eyes. She's crying again, crybaby as always.
"Don't leave," she whisper. "You know how much I love you since then," she added. "Please Ivan." She begged. Pain strikes again into my nerves. He always thought that I am Ivan, but, I'm not.
She's always fond of my twin, not me. Magkamukha lang kami pero alam kong si Ivan pa rin ang mamahalin n'ya, kahit na sabihin ng lahat na ako si Ivan, wala pa ring mangyayari. He's dead now, and our grandmother wants me to play the role Ivan even I am Ivon.
I played with her hair until she fell asleep again. I kissed the top of her hair. Inayos ko ang comforter at saka umalis sa condo. Nag-iwan ako ng note para kapag nagising s'ya ay hindi mafreak-out. Ganito naman ang babaeng ito e, palaging ganito. Kabisado ko na ito, kabisadong kabisado.
Huling sulyap sa kanyang mukha at lumabas na ako ng kwarto. Hindi ko alam pero parang ayokong umalis sa tabi n'ya.
"Ano ba, may exam ka bukas," pagpapaalala ko sa sarili ko. "Kailangan mo pang mag review, 3:30 na. Ano ba Ivon Matteo," sa huli ay umalis pa rin ako. Kailangan e, kailangan ko s'yang iwan dahil 'yon ang gusto n'ya. Kailangan ko s'yang iwan dahil una sa lahat, hindi naman ako ang taong gusto n'yang makasama.
