The Place I Really Belong (When He Realized Series 1)

CHAPTER 1

The Encounter

“Uuwi ka na ba sa inyo Klerah?” tanong ni Averill sa akin. Nasa isang bar kami dito sa Makati, nagkayayaan lang dahil katatapos lang ng Internship namin. Dalawang buwan na lang ang bibilangin para maka graduate kami sa mga kanya-kanyang school.

“Oo kailangan ko maka uwi e, pupunta pa ako sa school bukas” kailangan kong pumasok para sa mga clearance na ia-accomplish though iilan na lang naman ‘yon, gugustuhin ko na rin naman na tapusin agad.

“Bakla! Ala una na kaya. May masasakyan ka pa kaya?” It was Eloah

“Tanga! May grab naman ah o di kaya angkas. Keribels naman na makauwi ako”

“Mamayang alas dos ka na umuwi. Pleaseeeeee?” this time it’s Ailey. I show my disgusted face at her at binato siya ng ice cube na naiwasan naman niya. Paano niya nakukuhang mag pa cute? Ewww lang. ang sagwa tignan!

I remember how we’ve met each other months ago. We are in a fastfood chain; we’re all heading to the same table holding the tray that has our foods and just suddenly sit to our own respective chairs. Sabay sabay lang kaming nagkatinginan at nagtawanan when we realized what just happened.  From then nagkausap usap kami and we learned that we are all having our internship in the same hotel and with the same schedules! We’ve got excited and nag decide din kami na tumuloy na lang sa iisang bahay.

Luckily, my father agreed to it. Ilang pilit pa ang ginawa ko dahil alam ko naman na mahihirapan lang ako kung araw-araw akong mag babyahe from Taguig to Makati.

“Ghorl I’ll dance ha. Ikaw ba?” Eloah asked me at hindi pa man ako nakakasagot nawala na sa harap ko si gaga! Nagtanong ka pang hinampak ka!

“Restroom lang ako ah” paalam ko sa dalawang naiwan sa table namin. Dali dali akong naglakad dahil sa kanina pa talaga ako naiihi. The place is so loud; I didn’t know that this club would be this lit. Nung nakita ko ang restroom for girls walang patumpik tumpik kong binuksan ang pintuan and to my surprise

“Shit! OMG SORRYYYY!!!” I screamed to the top of my lungs! I immediately run back to our table when it sinks in to me.

I just saw people doing a miracle in the restroom. OH SHIT! Napaurong yata ang iiihi ko dapat. Tulala naman akong napaupo at ini-straight na inom ang kung anong nasa table

My face suddenly crumpled when I realized that it is not water. Ang mga gaga kong kaibigan tinawanan lang ako. I don’t know why pero feel ko talaga ang malas ko today. Ugh! This is so frustrating

“Uy bakla anong nangyari sayo? May nanghalik ba sayo? Magaling ba naman? Share mo naman. Sharing is caring diba?” sinamaan ko ng tingin si Eloah. Walanghiyaaaa talagang yun pa ang concern ng isang to?

“Oo nga Klerah, bakit nagmamadali ka? Are you in trouble?”

“NO! Averill I am not! Why would I be in trouble?”
She just shrugged her shoulder and drink up.

What the hell was that? It took me a couple of seconds before I even realized what they are doing. For sure they clearly saw my face! Ugh! I have to get out here. Nakakahiya! Pero shit may iba pa bang cr dito? Mygosh! Parang hindi na kakayanin ng pantog ko.

“Klerah what really happened? Akala ko ba mag re-rest room ka? Ano? Hanggang ngayon naiihi ka pa rin at ganyan ang itsura mo?” Tanong ni Ailey na nasa tabi ko

“I just saw people in the restroom having sex. Imagine how awkward it was! I even stared at them for I think ten seconds bago ko ma realize kung ano ang nakita ko”
