DAILY CUP OF TEA

I LET MY GIRLFRIEND MAKE OUT WITH SOMEONE WHILE SHE'S DRUNK

I'm currently at my parents house, sitting on our couch while waiting for my girlfriend to come. Sinabi niya sa akin na dito muna raw siya matutulog sa amin, I agreed at pinayagan din naman siya.

When I heard our door opens, napalingon ako rito. A smile plastered on my face as I saw my girlfriend arrived. Dali-dali akong tumayo sa kinauupuan ko at sinalubong siya.

And as I saw her in our door, lumapit ako sa kaniya. I kissed her forehead and hugged her saka siya pinaloob. Nagbeso-beso naman sila ni Mama.

"Welcome, hija," ani Mama habang nakangiti sa kaniya.

Binigyan naman ni Kaila si Mama ng isang matamis na ngiti. After that, mother invited her for lunch. Inakyat ko na rin ang bag na dala niya at nakisabay na rin sa pag-kain.

She's Kaila, my girlfriend. 4 years na kaming mag-on. She's beautiful, simple and lovely. We're legal both sides.

When the night came, inayos ko na ang paghihigaan niya. Sa couch ako matutulog samantalang siya, sa kama ko. She's still a girl, I still respect her. Saka na ako makikisabay makitulog sa kaniya kapag kasal na kami.

I entered my room and I saw her sitting on my bed and still not sleeping.

"Babe..." Marahan akong lumapit sa kaniya at tinabihan siya.

I hugged her and kissed her forehead between.

"I love you," I whispered.

She smiled. "I love you, too."

"Matulog ka na, ha?"

"Mamaya pa..." she insisted.

"Matulog ka na..." I keep resisting.

She then hugged me so tight. "Let's stay like this for a while." She showed me a cute face kaya hindi ako makatanggi. Fvck! I want to kiss her lips till she drops!

I cuddled her for half an hour, until she finally fell asleep. Inihiga ko na siya sa kama at kinumutan. I kissed her forehead then I whispered between my smile, "Good night."

Pumunta na ako sa couch sa corner ng kwarto ko and turned off the lights in my room. I lay down and looked at her until I fell asleep.

Maya-maya pa'y nagising ako. I don't know why. I turned on the lights in my room and shocked when I didn't saw my girlfriend on my bed. I looked at the clock on my wall and it's just 1 AM in the morning. Where did she go in this middle of night?

Hindi pa masyadong mulat ang mga mata kong lumabas ng k'warto. I roamed around our house and I switched the lights, but she's nowhere to be found. Nang pumunta ako sa kusina, I was shocked when I saw empty bottles of beers na nakalagay sa lamesa, but she's not there. Where is she? She's probably drunk and passed out right now. But why did she drank so many beers in the middle of the night?

I still tried to search her in our house and gladly I found her, fast asleep. Bumalik na ako sa k'warto ko at humiga na sa couch then sleep while my tears keeps streaming down.

Days passed, until Saturday came. Ngayon ang uwi ng girlfriend ko pabalik sa bahay nila. I woke up and aroused on my bed. Pagkalabas ko pa lang sa k'warto ko, nagtaka ako ng wala akong makitang tao. Nagulat na lang ako nang may biglang sumigaw, and it was coming from our bathroom. Dali-dali akong nagtungo papunta sa banyo namin and to my surprise, nakita ko ang girlfriend kong nakapa-upo sa sahig. I immediately ran towards her.

I sat beside her and asked, "What happened?" My eyes worriedly stared at her.

She started crying, but I don't know what is happening, until I saw a pregnancy test on her hands. I was surprised and stunned when I saw two red lines, indicating it's positive.

"Are you pregnant?!" I shockingly asked her.

"Panagutan mo 'to!" She stared at me.

Tumayo siya at pinunasan ang mga luha niya. Tumayo na rin ako.

"Ayaw ko..." sagot ko naman sa kaniya.

"Pagkatapos ng nangyari sa atin, hindi mo paninindigan?!"

"Hindi ko 'yan paninindigan, alam mo kung bakit?" Seryosong tanong ko sa kaniya habang nanlilisik na nakatitig sa akin ang mga mata niya.

"Bakit?"

"Dahil hindi ako ang ama nang dinadala mo!" Her eyes widen in shockness.

"Pero pa'no?! Ikaw lang naman ang kasama ko sa k'warto!"

"Hindi mo alam, dahil lasing ka no'n at wala kang maalala. The first night you stayed here, you were drunk and instead of entering my room, you entered my brother's room! I wake up thay night and you're not in my bed. Hinanap kita, pero hindi kita nakita sa apat na sulok ng bahay namin! Not until I saw my brother's door open. I peeked outside and I saw you inside. Napapahikbi na lang ako sa nakikita kong ginagawa ninyong kababalaghang dalawa. Ang sakit, Kaila! You're making out with my brother!.. Sa loob pa ng bahay namin!" I shouted and my voice echoed inside of our cr. Tears started to stream down on my cheeks.

"Clyde, lasing ako no'n!" Pagdadahilan pa niya.

"Oo! Lasing ka no'n, pero kahit lasing ka, alam mo ang ginagawa mo!... Tama na, Kaila! Mahal kita pero niloloko ko lang sarili ko at napakatanga ko dahil nagbubulag-bulagan ako sa mga nangyayari sa paligid ko! Oo, girlfriend kita pero girlfriend ka rin ng kuya ko. Akala mo hindi ko malalaman? I saw it with my two eyes!... Na sa tuwing hindi ako nakaharap sa inyo, you two were making out with each other, and I just let you two dahil alam kong masaya kayo at mahal niyo ang isa't isa. Yet, I still love you two kahit ginagago at nasasaktan niyo na ako, lalo ka na... Kaila, I want you both to be happy, baka kasi ako lang 'yung nagiging hadlang sa pagmamahalan ninyong dalawa. We're done. Panindigan niyong dalawa 'yan!"
