No Love Involved (COMPLETED)

His Side

Zeph.

 

My life went back to normal and normal means go to bars every night, get drunk, go home to sleep at 3am, wake up the next day, work my ass off until I got spent and go to bars again.

This was my routine before and I'm doing it again now. Ang pagkakaiba nga lang ay I don't stay in my condo unit anymore. I decided to go back to my parents' house not because I want to see them but because I want them to see how they ruined everything.

I've been doing this for straight five days. Sa unang dalawang araw ay wala pa akong naririnig pero sa ikatlong araw, I mean medaling araw na pag-uwi ko ay nakarinig ako ng sermon mula kay Mommy. I just let her. She was nagging me and telling me to fix my life and you know what? It feels good. It feels good that my Mom wants me to do what is right dahil alam kong alam niyang mali ang lahat ng ito.

It's

funny

that I am a Psychologist but I can't even think straight. I can't even manage my life like how I should be. Dahil kahit na anong gusto kong paganahin ang utak ko ay may puso pa rin ako na nasasaktan at mas nananaig 'yon higit sa lahat.

"Where are you going this time?" I stopped in the middle of the stair and smiled when I saw Kuya Ezekiel leaning on the wall.

Binilisan ko ang pagbaba at humalik sa pisngi niya. "I've missed you. Kuya. Where's my pasalubong?"

 

Ngumuso siya. "Pasalubong talaga ang un among tatanungin, noh? Hindi pa pwedeng kamusta muna ako?"

 

 I chuckled at saka isinukbit an gang aking braso sa braso niya. "Okay, how are you?"

 

"I'm not fine. Ipapakasal na nila ako next week at ayaw ko doon sa babae. Naiinggit ako sa'yo. Malaya ka parin." Aniya.

"Kumontra ka kasi sa kanila. It's not all the time ay dapat sila ang masunod. Tignan mo ang nangyari kay Steph at Miguel. Kung kailan 7 months ng pregnant saka maghihiwalay." Sagot ka at nakita kong kumunot ang noo niya.

"Maghihiwalay sila?" Tanong niya na puno ng pagtataka.

I rolled my eyes. Obviously hindi na naman sinabi ng mga magulang namin ang mga nangyayari. They are so afraid for their names to be tainted.

"That issue has been an issue for months now tapos wala kang alam? TSk Tsk. See? Lahat ng desisyon nila mali at kahit kailan hindi tama ang mangontrol ng iba." Bumitaw ako sa kanya at saka nagtungo sa mini-bar.

 

"Pero paano sila? I mean, sino ang mag-aalaga kay Steph?"

 

"Oh, don't mind that bitch. Bumalik na siya sa ex niya. Hindi yata mabubuhay 'yon ng walang lalake sa buhay niya." Kinuha ko ang isang bote ng Bacardi Rum. I opened it and poured some in my glass saka ako tumingin sa kanya.

I raised my brow when I saw confusions written all over his face. "What's your problem?"
