Chapter 17

Hello! How's everyone? Things are hard right now. I hope u guys are okay and coping up. If you ever need someone to talk to, beep me up on my email =) 

Chapter 17

Napatingin ako sa basong inilapag sa harapan ko. Tinignan ko si Luke at sumimangot ako sa kanya, "That would be my third one--"

"So?" aniya at umupo sa isang upuan sa harapan ko. He dialed something and put his phone on his ear, "Yeah, mom?" 

Napakibit-balikat ako at ininom nalang ang tubig na binigay niya. PANGATLONG basong tubig na binigay niya! Sabi niya kasi panay suka ko raw kanina kaya water will help. Bakit ko ba kasi ginagaya si Kekem kanina!? Nilalagok tequila! 

"Are you okay?" biglang sumulpot si Daniel at umupo sa tabi ko 

"A bit." sagot ko, "Saan yung iba?" tanong ko sa kanya dahil napansin kong kami lang tatlo nina Luke ang nandito sa loob ng cottage house. 

"Well, they went out dahil nangangamoy daw suka mo dito sa loob."

I sniffed, "Hindi ah!"

Ngumisi siya, "Nagswimming sa labas. Do you want to come?"

"Ikaw hindi ka magsswim?" tanong ko

Umiling siya, "We are going to talk." tsaka niya tinuro si Luke na abalang kausap sa phone ang mommy niya pero nakatitig sa amin.

"About?" bulong ko, super hina lang dahil baka kaya nakatingin si Luke sa amin, kasi maingay! Huhu.

Daniel gave me a smirk, "Marites?"

Tinampal ko siya sa balikat, "Wow ha!"

Akalain mong alam niya yun! HAHA

Humalakhak siya, "About my lovelife. You may listen. I don't mind."

We waited for Luke to finish his call. Gusto kong itanong kung kamusta at bakit napatawag mommy niya pero hindi ko na tinuloy dahil baka sabihan ulit akong marites ni Daniel, amp. Before they began talking, Luke stood up and went to the kitchen. May dala siyang tray pagkabalik niya. Inilapag niya yun sa harapan ko. Fooood!

"If you still feel like throwing up, don't eat for awhile." he said and asked Daniel, "what is it?"

Pinag-uusapan nila si Sassa. Kumakain lang ako habang nakikinig. From the veeeery start, alam ko naman kung anong issue nilang dalawa. Sassa is not ready to tell him everything. You can't blame her, though. Pero kasi.. pakiramdam ko hindi naman siya iiwan ni Daniel nang dahil lang doon. Hindi naman ganoon kababaw si Daniel.

"Hey, do you know anything?" asked Luke

Eh..

They both stared at me, waiting for me to talk. But of course, "Sorry guys. Not for me to tell.."

I can't lie, okay! Kaibigan ko pareho. Ayokong sabihin na wala akong alam pero hindi ko rin pwedeng sabihin kung anong totoo dahil hindi yun magugustuhan ni Sassa. She can even kick me out of her life. Very private matter. Only few people know.

As you can remember, nag-iinuman sila kanina tanghaling tapat. Oops, kasama pala ako sa uminom, haha! Currently, it's 4 in the afternoon at pagabi na. Kinukwento sa amin ni Michael na maganda daw dito lalo na kapag gabi dahil maraming beach party lights and may party talaga for real! This would be our last bond with Michael dahil tomorrow afternoon na ang alis niya. We should make the best out of it.

Nagpaalam ako kina Luke at Daniel na pupuntahan ko yung iba. They told me to just go straight then turn left for me to reach the beach area. Sinunod ko naman pero parang medyo naliligaw ata ako. They said to go straight and turn left. Maraming left! Alin ba dito?

Palakad-lakad lang ako nang may makita akong pamilyar na mukha. Wait.. wait. What is her name, again!? 

AH! Si Miss Ninya! Remember? Yung tumulong sa damit ko when Michael asked me to act as his girlfriend!
