Chapter 12: Kaibigan Ka Lang Naman Namin
---
"SORRY for what happen last Saturday. I'm a big mess, Calvy." Miguel apologizes once I enter his car.
"It's okay. I understand. Birthday naman ni Josh."
"Pero nasukahan kita. And I'm out of my mind so I wasn't able to assist you." May kinuha sya sa likod ng kotse nya. It was a paperbag. "Damit mo yan. Pina-laundry ko. Sorry talaga. Nahihiya tuloy ako sayo."
"Ikaw pa nahiya sa akin."
"If you don't mind, can I ask you to eat with me right now?"
"Right now?" I asked
"Yeah. As in right now."
"Where?"
"Right here."
"Right here?" I asked again.
"You're just turning my answers into questions. Oo. Ngayon na. May dala akong pagkain sa likod."
"But you're driving."
"I can stop if you want. I just want to eat with you." I look at him and he's smiling.
"Hindi. Mag-drive ka na muna. The food can wait."
"If you won't mind again, can we eat in my unit?"
Napatingin ako sa kanya.
"Tayo lang ba dun?"
"Uh-hmm." He nods.
"O-okay lang naman. Sige."
Nag-drive lang sya kaso nung nasa papalapit na kami sa AM Tower, biglang umulan. Nagka-traffic pa tuloy.
"Mukhang gagabihin ka na. Wag na kaya tayong tumuloy baka mapagalitan ka. Idederetso na kita pauwi."
"Ako bahala."
I dialled my brother's number and he immediately answer.
"Yes, lil'sis?"
"Inabutan ako ng ulan, Kuya. Nandito ako sa bahay ng kaibigan ko. Uuwi din ako mamaya kapag huminto na. Papahatid ako sa kanya."
"Who's that friend of yours?" He asked.
Hindi agad ko nakasagot. Should I tell him the truth? That I'm with Miguel?
"Who are you with, Calvarie?" He repeats.
"I'm with... I'm with Miguel, Kuya..." tumingin ako kay Miguel and he's looking at me, too.
Naghintay ako sa sagot ni Kuya pero hindi sya nagsalita.
"Kuya?"
"You said you're with a friend."
"Oo nga."
"Are you with him... alone?"
"O-oo."
"I have trust in you, Calvie. And I have trust in that guy you are with because he's a Christian. Please don't break my trust. Mag-iingat kayo."
"Thank you, Kuya. I'll always remember what you said. I love you."
"I love you, too. Bye."
Then I hang up.
"Pumayag?" Miguel asked.
"Oo."
