Chapter 49: Ask Me

He spinned the bottle again and it pointed on him, "Gusto ko magmura," mahinang sabi niya.

"Kasalanan mo 'yan," turo ko.

"Consequence na ah," sagot ko.

"Hmm." Tumango siya, walang gana.

"Drop your main goal in life," wika ko.

"Hmm, my main goals are to be successful, get married, have a family, and to be happy." Tumango ako sa sagot niya, dapat to marry me charot.

"Spin." Turo ko.

He spinned it and it pointed at me so I crossed my arms raising a brow.

"Drop one of your biggest lies that you told me before, kala mo ha, ako rin—"

"Ayoko na." Natigilan siya sa sagot ko.

Nagitla pa habang nakatitig sa akin, napansin ko ang pag galaw ng adams apple niya sa lalamunan at alam kong napalunok siya.

"Alright," tumango siya at tumikhim.

He spinned the bottle again and it pointed at me, "If it's a lie, why did you tell me those words?" He asked.

"Napagod ako, pansin ko kasi ako rin yung problema. Ako yung hindi nakakaunawa, handa pa akong iwan ka dahil lang wala kang oras sa akin." Tumikhim siya muli at napatango.

"Well, wala tayong magagawa sa realizations and choices mo in life, if you get what I mean." He chuckled and spinned the bottle.

Nang sa akin muli tumuro 'yon ay napalunok ako, "Pabor sa'yo ha." Ngumiwi ako at nanatiling nakatingin sa kaniya.

"If I begged you harder, would you be swayed by me?" Naitikom ko lalo ang bibig tsaka napaubo.

"H-Hindi. As you can see, you did great even without me." I smiled and cleared my throat, he nodded while staring at me.

I spinned the bottle and it pointed on him, "Kapag ba sinabi kong gusto kitang bumalik sa buhay ko, babalik ka?" Napakurap siya ng maraming beses.

Napasandal siya, nag-iisip ng sagot. "Kapag lang, huwag kang assuming." Paalala ko, upang hindi ganoon kasakit ma-reject.

"Hindi ako babalik." Matipid niyang sabi kaya peke akong tumawa at tumango, I made him spin the bottle and it pointed on him.

He whispered curse, "Drop what you realized when I left," tumaas ang kilay niya.

Ang makapal niyang kilay, "Damang dama mo yung pag-alis mo ah, well.. I think we are in a healthy relationship and I thought that not just unhealthy relationships break up, kahit pa mga healthy relationships may dahilan para maghiwalay. So it is really beyond the two people involved if they will choose to stay or choose to leave."

"Ang lalim, parang well." Sarkastikang sabi ko.

"Korni mo," wika niya salubong ang kilay kaya napatitig ako sa mukha niya.

I spinned the bottle and this time it pointed at me, "Malas."

"Bakit mas pinili mong iwan ako?" Nanlaki ang mata ko tsaka ako huminga ng malalim.

"Parang sinagot ko na 'yan kanina eh."

"Sagutin mo ulit, ibang dahilan." Ngumiwi ako.

"Isa sa mga rason kasi alam kong makakahadlang ako sa parating na board exam mo, mabait kasi ako kaya umalis na lang ako kasi pag na—"

"Bumagsak pa rin ako, bakit hindi ka pa rin nag-stay kung 'yon ang dahilan?" My lips parted, I stared to look at his poker face.

"I am so ashamed to go back, hindi pa ako handa bumalik no'n. I just checked you, because I can't believe it." I explained.
