HOPE DE GUZMAN
I drank too much alcohol after our dinner. Mas malakas pa nga yata akong uminom ng beer kaysa sa kaniya. O baka naman ganito lang ako umakto dahil mababa ang alcohol tolerance ko.
"Last na 'yan ha," he told me while pointing the glass I'm drinking. Malumanay akong tumango.
He still sobber kahit nakailang bote na kaming dalawa. Nakalimutan ko na halos na date pala ito, hindi inuman session kasama ang isang baliw na lalaki.
Nang matapos kami ay inalalayan niya ako papalabas ng resto at papasok sa hotel na in-accomodate-an niya. I frowned and hugged him on his side.
"Oh--" he was shocked.
I trailed my fingers on his blouse's buttons. "Hindi ka ba naiinitan?"
"Fuck," he muttered.
I just chuckled and tipsily went inside our room. Nang i-lock niya ang kwarto ay tumunog ang phone niya, indicating that someone sent a message.
Titignan niya na sana ito pero tumayo ako kaya't napatingin nalang siya sa'kin. I glared at him as I went closer. I tiptoed just to level my face on him and kissed him.
He immediately kissed me back, I started to work for my hands on his blouse to remove it. Napangiti nalang siya't iniwan ang phone niya sa bedside table.
"Needy, huh?" he dragged me to lay in bed. Seungcheol jumped and went on top of me.
"Kaunti nalang iisipin ko nang ginagamit mo lang ako para masatisfy ka," He chuckled before planting some kisses on my shoulder.
"Wala tayong pagkakaiba, Choi Seungcheol," as if naman hindi niya ako kinulong sa sarili niyang bahay para makampante siyang hindi ako maghahanap ng iba.
Totoo naman ang sinasabi niya, I'm doing this to satisfy myself. I've never been satisfied in my own life and I'm fortunate enough that Seungcheol is really good in bed. Plus the alcohol we drank, I know it will satisfy me more.
Vices are the ones who keep me alive. Whenever I have these, I think about myself. I just discovered how good it is to be bad after Faith gave me hints of neglect as her family. Now I know why she chose to live on her vices than to be with me.
But I still want to change, siguro hindi pa ngayon. Malamig pa si Faith sa akin. Babalik ako sa kaniya kapag handa na siya, pati ako, na harapin ang lahat ng damage na nagawa namin sa isa't isa.
"Okay, okay," he chuckled but then looked at his phone again after hearing it ringing and vibrating.
I frowned and held his jaw for him to focus on me. "Bakit ka na naman ba galit? Malay mo importante 'yon--"
"May mas importante pa ba kaysa sa'kin?" I tried to manipulate him.
He stopped for a while, I raised my brow as I waited for him to respond. He gained back his senses after he let out a baritone husky chuckle.
"Of course there's none," he smirked before kissing me passionately.
He went touchy until something happen between us two again.
Nagising ako nang maramdaman kong may gumagalaw-galaw sa kama. And right after, I heard a song. It is not actually loud, sa tingin ko ay galing 'to sa earphones.
"I only pray you'll never leave me behind,
Because good music can be so hard to find
I take your hand and pull it closer to mine
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind," I overheard a familiar brigde of a pop song, napakunot ako ng noo. Nananaginip pa ba ako?
"My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close,
Hear my thoughts in every note, oh oh,"
"Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low,
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo,"
Tuluyan na akong naalimpungatan nang mapagtanto kong hindi ito galing sa panaginip. I noticed my naked self sleeping with a man's bare chest as my pillow. Agad akong dumistansya nang mapansin ko ito.
Nakita ko si Seungcheol na busy habang nagtitingin sa phone niya, I guess sa earphone niya rin galing ang tugtog na 'yon. He looked at me after I decided to make the distance. "Why did you move? Come close," He grabbed my waist and made me lay on his arms.
"For a drunk woman, you should still be asleep at this time," he muttered. Tinanggal niya rin ang earphones na nasa tenga niya.
"Anong oras na ba?" tanong ko sa kaniya habang nakatingin sa kisame ng kwarto.
"It's just five in the morning," he answered.
Tumingin ako sa kaniya. He's still on his phone, scrolling. "Bakit gising ka rin?"
"Bold of you to asume that I slept. Everything is like a dream to me right now. Kung panaginip 'to, hindi nalang ako gigising," Binaba niya ang kaniyang phone at pinatong ito sa kaniyang dibdib. He looked at the cieling first before diverting his gaze on me.
"Lasing ka pa ba?" I laughed at him.
"Hindi, para namang hindi ka aware kung gaano ako kabaliw sa'yo," he chuckled before pinching my cheek.
Padabog kong inalis sa pangungurot ang kamay niya. I bumped my head on his arm for him to stop attacking my cheek. "Ouch," he whined, napangiti nalang ako, deserve niyang masaktan.
Patagal nang patagal, he's starting to be sulky. Parang Cherry na talaga, kulang nalang ay makalaro ko siyang muli sa online games. But still, it's s good sign that our relationship is developing.
Inayos ko sa pagkakakumot ang katawan ko at saka tumalikod ng higa sa kaniya. I must admit, kulang pa ang tulog ko, pagod ako't sobrang sakit pa ng ulo ko.
"But babe, are you awake now? Or ita-try mo pang matulog ulit?" bakas ang concern sa tono niya. As if he's being careful of asking those to me.
"Bakit ba?" I asked impatiently.
"My uncle texted me last night about something," he told me
Napalingon ako sa kaniya. Napahigpit ang kapit ko sa kumot, naisipan ko ring bumangon sa pagkahiga para mas makita ko siya.
May kutob akong hindi maganda ang binalita ng tito niya. Pero pinipilit ko pa ring isipin na maganda ito. Sigurado akong tungkol sa kapatid ko ang ibabalita ng tito niya.
"He told me that they had found Faith's body,"
