Curse

Chapter 26

"Woah! Slow down!"

Hindi ko pinansin si Bea at diretsong nilagok ang inumin sa baso. We've been drinking for many hours now. Mukhang lasing na si Bea habang ako ay nahihilo palang. I have high alcohol tolerance.

"I'll just go to the CR. Stay here!" Bilin niya at tumayo. Tumawa ako nang nagmura siya nang mauntog siya sa lamesa.

"Shut up Cipher!" Asik niya.

Napailing nalang ako at sinalinan ang baso. Napapikit ako nang malasahan ang alak. It's been so long since the last time I drink. For some reason, the alcohol taste more sweet to me.

May lumapit saaking babae. She smirked. "Up for a night?"

"No." Iling ko at inilayo ang mukha nang lumapit siya.

Akala ko magagalit siya o aalis agad gaya ng iba pero may inilabas siyang calling card. She kissed the card before putting it on my thigh.

"Call me if you're feeling lonely. I'm always free if it's you." She said and blew a kiss before leaving.

Tinignan ko ang calling card at kinuha. Tinapon ko yun kasama ang ibang calling card na nasa lamesa.

Few minutes have passed by and hindi pa bumabalik si Bea. My vision is starting to get blurry. I think this is enough drinking for now. I need to go home but first I need to call Bea.

[Hello?]

Napakunot noo ako nang ibang boses ang sumagot. I'm pretty sure I called Bea.

"This is Cipher. Who's this? Why do you have my friend's phone?"

[I'm Bea's girlfriend.]

Napangisi ako. Narinig ko si Bea sa kabilang linya kaya sure akong nagsasabi ng totoo ang kausap ko. Nagpaalam ako bago pinatay ang tawag.

Sumandal ako sa sofa at nag isip. "How should I go home..."

Nakapikit akong ngumiti. Maybe I should pick one calling card in the pile? I don't know if that's a good idea.

Kukuha sana ako ng isa sa mga calling card nang may umupo sa tabi ko at yumakap saakin.

"Wanna go home with me?" A woman whispered seductively. I smiled unconsciously.

Ramdam ko ang paglagay niya ng kamay sa legs niya at paghalik sa neck ko. I groaned. For some reason, I want to go to my professor's condo or maybe call her?

I consider the thought but that's a big no. I suddenly remembered that she has a boyfriend. She's probably with him. Going on a date, cuddling and kissing. I scoffed at the thought.

"What's wrong hon? Do you wanna go somewhere more private?" The woman beside me said as she put her hand on my arm.

I pushed her away. "No. Go away, please."

Tumayo ako pero muli siyang kumapit saakin.

"Come on. Just one night. You can do me wherever and however you like, hon."

"No." Matigas kong sabi at itutulak sana muli ang babae pero nawala na ang kapit nito saakin.

Next thing I know the girl's on the ground and some mad woman is in front of me.

"She said no, bitch." The woman in front of me said.

Napakunot noo ako nang hinila ako ng babaeng yun. Dumating kami sa parking lot. I pull away from her grasp when I realize she's dragging me somewhere unfamiliar. I'm drunk but I know where I parked my car.

"Thank you miss but I can take it from here. Bye." Paalam ko at nag bow pa bago naglakad sa sariling sasakyan.

Hindi pa ako nakaka dalawang apak ay muli akong hinila ng kung sino.
