My Immortal Crush

24

"Siguro makakausap natin siya ng maayos bukas. Ewan ko ba bakit yan nagpakalasing ng ganyan." Naiiling niyang sagot. Tinanguan ko na lang siya at nagpatuloy sa aking ginagawa.

Halos ilang oras na akong umiinom pero hindi pa rin ako tinatamaan. Niyaya pa ako ni Payton na makipaglaban pero hindi ako pumayag. I don't want to get another bruises especially I'll spend more time with my girl so I just sat in here and got drunk.

=====

I woke up because of the sunlight hitting my eyes. I was about to stand up when I felt so much pain on my head.

Shit! This hangover kills me!

Pinilit kong makaupo atsaka chineck yung phone ko at 7 am na ng umaga. Inikot ko ang aking paningin pero hindi pamilyar ang kwartong ito. Then I saw a note on the side table with food and medicine.

Hey Deans, I didn't let you drive yourself home since you got wasted last night so I just brought you to the guest room here at the UH. I know you'll have a hangover when you wake up so I left a medicine there. Eat that food before drinking the med. Just call me or go to the counter if you need something. Nasabihan ko na rin naman ang ibang staffs dyan so have a nice day! :)

- Your buddy

Napailing na lang ako nang mabasa ito. Minsan talaga nagiging chessy siya haha but don't get me wrong. He already have his wife and a son. Well, tuwing gabi lang naman laging nandito si Payton at nandun siya sa bahay nila kapag umaga.

Mabilisan kong kinain yung tinapay at ininom ang gamot. Kinuha ko yung jacket ko na nasa floor at sinuot ito. Good thing I'm still wearing a decent pair of clothes kaya hindi ako mukhang hindi pa naliligo haha. I picked my car keys and went out of the room. Sumalubong sakin ang isang babaeng mukhang bar girl. She offered me a drink but I refused to. Napakaaga naman para uminom.

Sumakay na ako sa kotse at nagmaneho pauwi ng condo. Kaya ko namang magdrive kahit medyo nahihilo ako. Hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin alam kung kailan kami magkakaayos ni Ate Bea. It's been a while since we have a decent talk. I don't think she wants to talk to me. Susubukan ko na lang sigurong kausapin si Pongs.

While driving, I tried to call Jema but she's not answering. I called again but 'The number you have dialed is chuchu' daw, ay ewan ko ba. Maybe she's preparing herself for work. Tinawagan ko naman si Payton ngayon at buti nanlang sinagot niya.

"Hey Deans! Did you drink the medicine that I left for you?"

"Yeah thanks."

"Wait—are you driving?!"

"Wag ka ngang sumigaw! Kaya ko naman e kaya wag kang mag-aalala dyan masyado."

"Oo na. So anong meron? Bakit ka napatawag?"

"You told me last night that we can talk to Luigi today. Have you talked to him?"

"Oh yes! I already set an appointment to him this lunch so remember the time and don't miss this one. Importante ito hindi lang sakin pati na rin sayo."

"I know I know. Sige just send me the location and I'll message you if I'm on my way. Bye." End of the call.

Umuwi muna ako ng bahay kasi wala naman akong gagawin sa condo at mabobored lang ako dun kaya dito na ako dumiretso. I pressed the doorbell first and waited for someone to open the gate. Ayaw kong maulit ang nangyari dati na pinagpapalo ako ng baseball bat ni Ate Bei. Sobrang sakit kaya nun.
