I woke up with a banging headache, the aftermath of last night.
Sinubukan kong bumangon pero napahiga lang ako ulit. Sobrang bigat ng ulo ko. Drinking is fun, but the consequences isn't. Pwede bang i-skip na lang ang hangover part? Or wake me up till it's over.
Bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ko. Nakita ko si Sky na pumapasok habang may dalang tray na agad niyang pinatong sa bedside table. Chicken noodle soup, crackers, and—"Wala bang juice?" I asked after seeing the glass of iced water.
"Alcohol is a diuretic. The resulting loss in fluid can cause dehydration so you better appreciate H2O, Erie." Inabot niya sa akin iyon. Dahan-dahan akong bumangon at nakasimangot na uminom ng tubig.
"Thanks, you're the best." I said.
"I know." He smirked.
"Whatever." Inabot niya naman sa akin ang soup na agad kong kinuha. Umusad na rin ako para makaupo siya sa tabi ko.
"Bagsak ka kagabi kaya hindi mo na ako nakwentuhan. Kamusta ang pag-uusap niyo ni Steer?" Tanong niya habang pinagmamasdan akong kumain. Just like Sky and my waffles, I only eat hangover foods made by him.
"Maayos." I smiled, a fake one.
It's a lie. Hindi na kami nakapag-usap kasi bumagsak na nga ako. Natatandaan ko pa ang pagbuhat niya sa akin hanggang sa kotse pero hanggang doon na lang. The fact that I could remember everything makes me want to slap myself. Ryde and Sky weren't kidding when they said I act dumb and reckless whenever I'm drunk.
"So bakit raw siya umalis noong gabing 'yon?" Why do he have to ask that now? I'm still recovering from my kahihiyan last night. Can he please let me breathe first?
"Hindi ko maalala."
"Am I dumb?" As I expected. Linyahan niya talaga 'yan kapag alam niyang nagsisinungaling ako. "Hindi nakakalimot ang lasing."
"I'm not sure kasi." Hindi na lang siya pumalag.
"Galit na galit si Sameth mo, nginisihan raw kasi ni Steer tapos hindi niya naman raw alam kung para saan ang ngisi na 'yon." Humalakhak si Sky. I could also remember that. "Susundan nga dapat kayo sa room pero baka alam mo na, nagkiss kayo ulit kaya pinigilan ko na si gago."
Nasamid ako sa soup. I just can't with Sky sometimes!
"Pero bakit siya nagalit?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan, not minding the last one he said.
"Mainit dugo." He said, stating the obvious. "Alam mo rin naman na sa aming dalawa, mas protective siya pagdating sa 'yo. Sa paningin kasi niya, gago si Steer."
"Talaga?"
"But Axcello Steer seems pretty cool though." He shrugged.
