FOR THE LOVE OF ANNIE ...(ONHOLD muna)

Chapter 2... Going home 1......

JOSEPH'S POV...

"Urggg!!!!" That awful lousy taste of alcohol is still lingering on my tongue. Napabangon ako at umupo sa gilid ng kama.

Regardless how much alcohol intake I had, my body and brain still ended up dehydrated and wanting for more..I slowly massage my temple. Unconsciously my eyes scooted to where the clock is, Its half past  the hour of two pm, for christ's sake I really don't care, how I wish I could sleep forever.

Kung hindi lang dahil sa masamang panaginip kanina I would rather choose to sleep again but. Ahhh!! Was it a bad omen? She was running her heart out and I couldn't do anything but to follow her, I tried to stop her from running but.

" Uuwi na ako" Nag hihingalo niyang sabi, tumingin ako sa likod niya pero may malaking bangin dito, everything seems so blurred and unfamiliar except from her face.

 

"We are going home Neng, pero hindi dyan ang daan pauwi"

"Eh niloloko mo nanaman ako Seph eh hahahaha" Habang ako ay natataranta siya naman ay masayang masaya pa natatawa.

"No , no, no, Neng, here, take my hand and don't you dare make another move, just-just take my hand."

Saglit niyang tiningnan ang kamay ko at walang alinlangang hinawakan niya ito, ngumiti pa siya ng ubod ng tamis, pero mabilis pa sa isang kurap “ Uuwi na ako Seph”  binitawan niya ito, binitawan niya ang kamay ko.

"Hi-hinde! NO!! Neng!!!"

"Seph hoy! tulala ka nanaman dyan, wala ka bang planong umuwi? Bahagya akong nagulat sa bungad ni Ate Rica, nasa harap ko na pala siya at nakapamaywang.

“Urgg! Just leave me alone, will you?” Sagot ko matapos guluhin ang magulo ko ng buhok. Kahit saang anggulo  ko tingnan, gulong gulo na ako, kung babangon man ako hindi ko rin naman alam kung ano ang una kong gagawin, pakiramdam ko natuldukan na rin ang buhay ko. Wala na eh.

“Wala ka bang planong tulungan ang sarili mo? Ha? Seph?. Ilang araw ka nang ganyan” She's not a nagger by heart, pero simula nang tumuloy ako dito palagi na siyang ganyan, ayusin ko raw ang buhay ko, umuwi na raw ako, but how? I'm obviously so fucked up!

“Don't you know that the investors are planning to pull out already? You left your job without saying any word. Do you know what I am trying to say ha? Seph? Masasayang ang pinag hirapan mo, ng Daddy mo.”
