Blinded By Expectations

Hug

"Where is it?"He asked.

"In the bedside table, on one of those drawers"

Pinuntahan niya ito at hinanap. Nanatili parin ako sa kaniyang likuran. Maya maya nakuha nadin niya ang emergency light at agad itong binuksan.

"This will do for now.  But I don't think the battery will last enough until the electicity goes back" He said.

"Paano na !? Ayokong mag-isa Leon nakakatakot dito" I said.

"I'll stay here until the light goes on" Sambit niya habang lumalakad ulit papuntang sala hila-hila ang aking kamay.

"Thank You Leon, Juskopo! Mabuti nalang dumating ka dito, Kung hindi wala akong kasama baka hindi ko kayanin mag-isa"

Umupo ulit kami sa sofa at naisipan kong tumayo para kumuha ng beer sa ref. Baka mamaya pa bumalik ang kuryente kaya, mabuti narin ang may maiinom pampalipas oras.

I gave him one bottle of beer in can at kinuha niya din ito. Marami akong stocks sa ref kaya
okay lang kahit maka-ilan pa kami.

We talked some random stuffs. Work, life, friends etc. He rarely talks, pero kapag nagsalita siya sobrang lalim.

" I remember back then whe we were in college, You were so snob and mean to all the girls na may gusto sayo kulang nalang sapakin mo sila kung hindi lang sila babae". Tawa ako ng tawa habang nagkukwento.

"Then you have me, Always backing up in every worst situation, Kapag may lalapit sayo or may nagmamakaawa sayo para gustuhin mo sila. I'll just stand infront of you at sasamaan sila ng tingin, Sometimes I'd do mean things too just to protect you asshole! and fact! is that, they all knew that we were a couple even if it's not."  sabi ko sabay inom sa hawak kong beer.

Ngumiiti ako habang inaalala lahat ng masasayang pangyayari noon.

"Sometimes I just wanted to kiss you nalang para mas madali silang mapalayas noon e, pero ang damot mo haha!" I laughed again then took another sip to my beer.

"Yeah! you're hella of a fighter and naughty too" Sambit niya at pagkatapos ay inubos na ang laman ng pang apat na beer na binuksan niya.

"I know right!" I confidently said.

Medyo nahihilo nadin ako kasi naka-tatlong beer nadin ako. Tatayo na sana ako pero bago pa ito mangyari ay bigla akong na-out of balance dahilan para mapaupo ako sakanya. Hinawakan niya ako sa braso at ngayon ay nakaupo na ako sa mga hita niya ng patalikod.

"Oooops, sorry I think mababa na ang tolerance ko sa mga beers haha! napakahina ko na talaga !" I awkwardly laughed at him at saktong biglang bumakas ang mga ilaw.

I immediately got up para ligpitin ang lahat ng beer in can na ininom namin. Sobrang nakakahiya ka george! sa bestfriend mo pa talaga ! Foul yun! Imik ko sa sarili ko.

It's almost 11 pm. He also stood up and went to the kitchen to wash his hands then he immediately left dahil may tatapusin pa daw siya na work niya.

Kinabukasan, I immediately took a shower then wear my maroon laced top match with a black pencil skirt with a slit on the side. I grab my coat at lumabas sa condo.

Nang makalabas ako sa bulding. I immediately went to the parking lot para makasakay ako sa kotse ko. I have Nissan Fairlady Z, classic as it seems but definitely a bitch on the road.

I drove all the way to my office as fast as I can because I'm fucking late. It's almost 10 am.

Kaya pagpasok ko sa building namin. I went to the elevator, halos nabunggo ko pa yung mga makakasabay ko dahil sa pakikipag paunahan sa makapasok.
