HAJ & SETCH (COMPLETED)

VI

"Dad, what is this?" diretsong pangutana nako kay papa pag tubag niyas akong tawag.

I'm on my way padung sa party ni Margaux, and guess what? Haj is with me.

[Darling, I and your dad understand now that you don't want Haj to be our family driver so we decided to assign him to be your personal bodyguard]

Ningiwi ko. "Ma!!"

I can't believe it. They obviously didn't understand me.

"You don't understand po," I sighed. "I wanna be alone, I wanna go out, I wanna enjoy with no bodyguard following. Dako na ko ma, pa and do I really need a bodyguard? I actually don't. I can handle my self and I hope that you really did understand me. Cause what I see now, murag wala gihapon moy salig sa akoa."

Then I ended the call.

Nang hupaw ko usab ug nag focus sa akong pag drive. Napugos jud nako si Haj ganina nga ako ray mag drive kay akoa man gihapon ning sakyanan.

Speaking of Haj. Aria syas passenger's seat ug wala syay tingogay. Wala nalang pud ko nakig storya niya kay gialimootan kos iyang nawng. Char.

Naabot kos venue sa party ni Margaux ug sakto nga wala pa nag sugod. Usually kada maabot ko sa venue sa mga party dati, ma excite jud ko pero karon murag dili na. Karon pa ko naka attend ug party nga naay bodyguard. Usually matakasan ra nako ang mga bodyguard nako sauna.

Karun murag kaulion nalang ko kay naa ko'y bodyguard kauban. Feeling nako di nako ni ma enjoy nga party.

"Setchie baby" someone called me from behind.

"Matt" we hugged and exchanged how are yous.

Nagka chika mi for a short time and he suddenly introduced someone.

"Perrin, this is Setch. My bestie and Setch, this is Perrin. My frien-

"I'm his boyfriend," putol ni Perrin sa isulti unta ni Matt. "Tsk baby, stop hiding me from everyone." sulit niya kang Matt.

Ni ismid ko. "Pshh mga kiat."

Nikatawa silang duha and I swear to all the saints they both look good together. I love it when someone genuinely appreciate my besties.

"Panulod na mo uy, sakit kay mos mata." tuklod ni Margaux kang Matt ug Perrin.

She then looked at me. "And how about you? Di raba ka sulod ang walay date,"

I smirk. "Naa diay kay date?" pamilosopo nako.

Ni ngisi sya. "Ana gani ko nga kitang duha ang pares."

Sabay ming nisulod sa venue ug gihuwat nga mag sugod na.

Nawala akong kalaay as the party started and Margaux is always beside me. Daghan mig chika kay dili na mi permi ga hang out tungod sa busy na syas iyang family.

"May gani gitugtan kas imong bebeboi mag party nga wala sya?" I asked.

Margaux pouted. "After giving birth to our son, wala na syay pakealam sa akoa. He is so focus to taking care of our baby."

I smile. "Pshh halos ma buang man gani nag pinangita nimo sauna kadtong nabal'an niyang buntis ka."

She suddenly took her phone out. "He's calling.."

Nikatawa ko. "See? Wala nagpa libak. He's in love with you."

Nananghid si Margaux nga tubagon usa niyang tawag ug nitando ra ko.

I was left alone.

"Setch.." a guy suddenly showed up. "Can we talk?"

Nag duha duha kog tubag and I tried searching for Margaux.

"Please?" dungag niya.

Nanghupaw ko ug nitando nalang. Nigawas ming duha para tarong ming magka storyahanay.

Wala pa man ko naka sugod ug storya, gi unhan na ko niya.

"I'm sorry, Setch. I'm so sorry for what happened. I miss you so much, baby. I miss-"

Basta basta nalang ni lupad ang akong palad padung sa iyang aping. Wala ko ka control sa akong gibati.

The anger comes back everything he'd beg again and again.

"We're over, Kenneth." I said without any emotion. "For pety sake, mag isa ka tuig na tang ga bulag. And diba nakig kita man dayun kag babae days after we broke up? I mean girls. Pa palit palit ka ug babae every single month. Unsa na, flavor of the month?"

Nag abot akong kilay kay nag sugod syag hilak and those tears can't move even a single pity inside me. Pa victim kaayo ang boang oh bisan sya man untay ga binuang.

This man betrayed me.

"I did that because you left me. I'm so lost and messed up without you, Setch baby"

My jaw clenched in anger. "Fuck that baby you are saying. I'm not your baby and what the fuck!? Stop begging will you?! And fuck your thoughts for thinking I'll come back. Because that shit won't happen."

I'm furiously mad nga wala na koy pakealam sa kung unsay mo gawas sa akong baba.

I can't believe karun pa sya mag hilak hilak sa akong atubangan kung kanus a wala nay bisan gamay nga kaluoy ang nabilin sa akoa para niya.

Kenneth is not my first boyfriend but he's the worst man I've ever dated.

He walked closer to me. "Setch, why not? I'm single and I never saw you date any man after me." he wiped his tears as he directly looked at me.

I chuckled in disbelief. Is he thinking nga wa pa ko ka move on niya maong wa ko nakig uyab ug laki human niya?

"What the fuck are you thinking? You think I haven't move on from you?l Then fuck your brain. Stop fucking thinking I'm still into you. What the fucking fuck!"

Gihangak kos akong gipang sulti ug tungod pud guro sa kalagot.

Then a cold hand suddenly hold my hand tight and pull me closer. "Setch, watch your words." he whispered.

I was taken a back and my anger melted. Diretso kong ni hangad ug ni tan aw niya. Wala syay laing gisulti ug iyaha ra kong gi halog.

"Fuck this!" dungog nakong balikas ni Kenneth and I heard his footsteps leaving.

Namaak kos akong ngabil, natulala ko ug wala na ko ka kaya sa ka bug'at sa akong gibati.

"He's gone." his voice is calm as he whisper.

Wala ko ka bantay nga nag hilak na diay kos iyang dughan while ga gakos sya nako.

"Everything's fine. I'm here. Everything's fine” he gently tap my shoulder while whispering those words.

Nihilak ra ko hantud sa mahurot ang kalagot nga akong gibati. I guess this is what they called tears of anger.

"Tahan na. Your friends are waiting for you inside." nibuhi syas iyang gakos ug gitrapohan akong luha.

"Setch?" sakto pud nga nadungog nako ang tingog sa akong mga friends.

He immediately step back. "I'll be just right here. Enjoy the party with them, Miss Setch." ana sya, dayun hinay hinayng nipalayo bago paman naabot akong mga amiga.
