“Babe, nasaan ka?” I asked on the phone while watching two people from a distance while I was inside my car.
“A-ahh, nandito sa bahay babe. Masakit 'yong ulo ko kaya hindi na ako nakapag review.” he answered.
“O-Okay ka naman ba?” naluluhang tanong ko sa kaniya.
“Ayos lang ako, babe. W-wait... Umiiyak kaba?” usisa nito.
Hindi ko alam ngunit unti-unting tumulo ang mga luha sa mata ko. “H-Hindi ah, masaya lang ako dahil nakausap kita ngayon.” I lied.
“May problema ka ba?” he asked me worriedly.
Does he? Nag-aalala nga ba siya sa akin?
“A-Ayos lang ako. Huwag mo 'kong alalahanin. Sige na, magpahinga ka na para gumaling ka agad.” malambing na sambit ko.
“Thankyou, Sheen. You're the best.” he added before hanging up.
While crying, I couldn't help but look at those two. I saw the woman pulling the man into the motel after he put down the phone he was holding.
Doon na ulit ako nagsimulang umiyak habang pinaghahampas ang sarili ko.
Bakit?
Bakit ka nagsinungaling Ivan?
I thought about calling Ivan again. It took a long time before he answered.
“Hello. Bakit ka napatawag, Sheen?” tanong niya ng masagot nita ang tawag ko.
“Bawal na ba akong tumawag sayo, Ivan?” sarkastikong tanong ko, ngunit hindi ipinapahalatang galit ako.
“A-ano, I-I mean, 'diba katatawag mo lang?” nauutal nitong sagot.
“Gusto ko lang kasing sabihin sayo na nasa labas ako ngayon.” matigas na pagkakasabi ko.
H-hindi ko na kaya...
“W-what? Sinong kasama mo? Nasaan ka?” sunod-sunod niyang tanong sa 'kin.
“Importante pa ba 'yon? Kung sa bagay.” natatawang sagot ko sa kaniya, “Baka kasi magulat ka kapag nalaman mo kung nasaan ako.”
“Please, Sheen. Sabihin mo na sa 'kin ngayon kung nasaan ka. Gabing-gabi na ngayon.” aniya.
“Talaga ba? Gabing-gabi na nga pala 'no? Kung sa bagay, sa gabi lang naman talaga ginaganap 'yong s*x 'diba? Hindi ba afford nang ex mo ang hotel kaya nag motel kayo?” I said sarcastically before looking at the two who were now looking at me.
I could clearly see their faces in shock. I don't know where I got the courage to approach them both.
There is still a trace of surprise on their faces when I get close to them. What I was looking at earlier was none other than Ivan, my boyfriend with his ex.
