Tumitig ako sa kisame. Blanko. Parang utak ko, blanko din.
"Ano bang nasabi ko kanina? Hays."
Kanina pa ako nai-stress! Kanina ko pa iniisip kung anong nasabi ko at bigla nalang siyang nag walk-out! Ba yan!
"Aaah!" I rolled on my bed and pressed my face on a pillow. "What did I do again?! Ugh!"
Ang sabi kasi ni kuya Myco, ako daw ang dahilan ng pag-alis ni Alyssa. Halata daw kasi na nalungkot siya when we talked about love!
I mean, hindi naman ako ang nag-open up sa topic na yun ah? It was kuya Myco! Hays.
Tumayo ako at saka pumunta sa pagitan ng kwarto namin ni Alyssa.
I pressed my ear against the wall. No, movement, or sound. Wala ba siya?
Binuksan ko ang pintuan papunta sa kwarto niya. Walang tao. Wala nga siya! Nasaan kaya yun? Naglayas?
"What were you doing in there?"
"Aah!" I hold onto my chest as I slowly turn around. "Kuya! You startled me!"
He shrugged. "So, what were you doing in Alyssa's room?"
"I am looking for her."
"Why? Nakonsensya ka na?"
"Kuya!" I whined.
Tumawa lang si kuya Myco at saka humawak sa braso ko. He pulled me to the stairs.
"I think ikaw talaga ang dahilan eh! And you need to apologize."
"Wala naman akong sinabing masama ah?"
"Sinaktan mo yung feelings niya," inayos niya ang buhok ko. "You should stop talking about love and your boyfriend kasi sensitive si Alyssa sa topic na yun."
Napasimangot ako. "Hindi ko naman alam! And hello, its been awhile! Move on, move on din!" Sabi ko naman at saka napasilip sa baba. "Nasa baba siya?"
"Aba malay ko! Why don't you go find her?"
"I don't even know why I need to apologize."
"Well..." my gay brother spanked my ass before going back to his room.
I waz caressing my ass while walking down the stairs. God, that hurts! Ang tigas pa man din ng kamay niya.
"Alyssa?"
Napahawak ako sa upuan when I saw a tall figure standing close to the sliding door.
Alyssa got taller, and broader?
"Look, I'm sorry about what I said kanina. I did not really meant to..."
"When and where did you meet Louis?" Kaagad niyang tanong and pushed me against the back of her grand piano. "At bakit ang bilis? You were talking about what? Love?"
"Alyssa, you are hurting me."
"Am I?"
"Yeah." Sabi ko at saka nag-iwas ng tingin. I removed her hand on my arm. "I met Louis a month before graduation in the University. Niligawan niya ako for two months, and sinagot ko na siya. And yes, I was talking about love kasi love ko siya."
Itinulak niya ang braso ko at saka tinitigan ako ng masama. Ano na namang problema niya?
"You kissed him..."
"Duh!"
"Naiinis ako at hindi ko alam why."
Sinimangutan ko siya. "Pwede ba yun?! Ikaw nga 'tong nakakainis. Psh." I checked my arm. "Mag kakapasa na naman ako neto..."
