Sabi nila, drinks, or alcohol specifically can make you temporarily forget the problems you are facing.
Pero hindi naman ako tanga.
I know right after ako ma-sober— hindi pa din nababago ang reality. Kaya nga temporarily lang, Maris.
"I don't drink." Sabi ko. "And I have to go to school. Now."
He sighed. "These pictures. They could be proof you know. When Maro tested negative— then this explains what really is his business with the drug dealers."
Napayuko ako.
I don't want to talk about it.
Especially with someone like him. Too weird he knows too much about me and Maro just because of a picture.
"You see, I just... care." He said. "That's why I took these."
Para niyang nabasa ang nasa isipan ko. How is it that I am so transparent just with my facial expression ay ma-figure out na ako.
"Okay. Now, take me to school, Cruspero." Sabi ko.
He nodded.
Lumabas na kami sa malaking kwarto niya na puro related sa tech ang mga stuff. No wonder top 1 siya sa ranking sa school.
"Zadist?"
Boses ng babae ang sumalubong sa amin sa labas ng bahay.
"Hey." Sabi ni Zadist sa babaeng ngayon ay nasa harapan na namin at napangiti.
"Don't hey me. I'm your mother." Sabi niya.
I smiled in return but my smile fades when I knew she is his mom. Like hello? She is so young. Like around the '20s.
"Hey, Mom." Zadist said and gently pushed me to walk towards her.
Nagmano si Zadist and that makes me do the same kasi tinulak niya ako papunta sa Mama niya. Okay.
"Hi po." I said.
His Mom smiled at me.
"Hi, my name is Zen. Mother of Zadist, my only son."
I nodded. Ang formal niya. She is like a Queen.
"Uhm, it's Maris."
She smiled.
"Breakfast?" His Mom said.
Napatingin ako kay Zadist, hinting him na late na kami.
"No—"
Hindi ako umimik.
Pero napahawak ako sa tiyan kong sumagot sa sabi ng Mama ni Z. Yep, it growled. A betrayal.
"Oh, honey. Let's go get something to eat." Sabi niya.
"We're late already, Mom."
Napangiti lang ako na hiyang-hiya dahil sa tunog. Stop it!
"Well if you're late already, might as well leave with a full stomach." Sabi ng Mom niya and made her way inside the house. "I have a carbonara and Chocolate spread sandwiches here, Dear ones."
Matapos niyang isinara ang pinto ay tinignan ko si Z.
"I'm not hungry," I said.
Z smirked.
"You know you're blushing when you lie, M." Sabi niya. I rolled my eyes at him.
Gutom na talaga ako.
Pero somehow nakakalimutan ko ang problema ko nang dahil sa kanya. Thank you pero hindi ko na lang sasabihin sa kanya na grateful ako.
