"Bakit masama ang timpla ng mukha mo?" bungad kaagad ni Prezie sa akin nang salabungin niya ako sa parking lot ko. "At bakit ang tagal mo?" she crossed her arms on his chest.
"Nakita ko ang tanginang outside spiker ng ateneo.
Nainis na naman ako sa mukha niya. Sarap tirisin," I removed my black gloves and fixed my shirt before walking to the elevator.
"Oh, ano na namang ginawa sa 'yo?" usisa niya. "O galit kana naman dahil lang sa mukha niya?" umismid siya at bahagyang huminto sa paglalakad para titigan ako.
"What? Hurry up, I need to do something!"
"Gusto mo siya, 'no?" ngisi niya habang kagat ang pang-ibabang labi. "Are you mad at him because he looks so good and hot at the same time?"
Mabilis na nagbago ang ekspresyon ko sa mukha at parang lukot na papel. "What the fuck, Prezie?! Are you even thinking?" I can help but raise my voice a bit out of shock. "Why would I like that asshole? I'm not attracted to the same gender, for pete's sake!"
"Sus, ganyan din ang mga nababasa ko, eh. Sure ka?" She teased which earned another disagreement from me. "Actually, parang interested din ako magsulat ng ganyang trope."
"That would be your downfall." I said to dismiss the topic. "Clean your mind and stop thinking weird things." I rolled my eyes and pushed the number six button.
Mabilis siyang sumakay nang makita niyang pinindot ko na ang elevator.
"Gwapo rin naman siya. Siguro kung ganoon lang ang mga type ko, magugustuhan ko siya. I mean, he's handsome, medyo moreno tapos maganda pa ang katawan at higit sa lahat matalino at talented!" she then started to enumerate things about that asshole.
"Hindi mo pa siya gusto sa part na 'yan? Parang ikaw ang nagluwal sa kaniya, eh." I scoffed.
"Hindi, ah. Nag-o-observe lang talaga ako lalo na kapag sa mga taong nag-iinit ang ulo mo," she shrugged. "Pero ngayon lang kita nakita na ganito ka inis sa isang tao, tapos hindi ko pa maintindihan kung ano talaga ang 'main reason'," she even drew an imaginary quote in the air.
"I swear, if you're in my shoes, you will surely hate him."
"Siguro, pero dahil hindi naman ako ikaw, gwapo pa rin siya sa paningin ko. Add to my list of crushes ko kaya siya..." she murmured. "Ay, mga artista pala mga crush ko. Hindi naman siya artista kaya sayo nalang siya." Nagkibit-balikat siya.
"You can have him. All yours," I fired back.
Nang makarating kami sa sixth floor ay agad na kaming pumasok sa isang office na maraming libro. Some were in boxes and some were organized carefully in a wide table.
"Apat na malalaki tapos... tatlong medium boxes and apat ulit na small boxes." Prezie immediately pointed out the boxes I need to carry from this floor down to the parket lot, back and forth.
Back and forth. I didn't work on my biceps just to punish like this. Hindi nga naggirlfriend, nakapagkaibigan naman na demanding.
"I need to ready myself because I will write a dedication for each book. Tapos signature pa," hirap pala ng writer. Because at one point in my life, I wanted to be a writer but I realized that I am more fond of music than writing so... yeah.
"Nagrereklamo ka?" tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Bakit ka ba nagsulat kung ayaw mo sa ganito?" paghahamon ko.
"Hindi ako nagrereklamo! Ang OA mo! Sabi ko nga 'di ba, kailangan ko magready, walang reklamo sa sinabi ko." She knitted his forehead. "Tsaka, mas masaya 'to, 'no kaysa maging alipin ng mga gagong cheater, duh!" she rolled her eyes while carrying some books.
