Fancy POV
I'm handa na today for my oh-so-trippings for Smith. Psh. I hate calling him by his pangalan na.
I'm here na sa room but Smith is not here pa. It's medyo late na and this is the first time na Blake is late.
"Wifey."
I'm tumingin kay Sydd and make taas my kilay.
"Ang taray nito. Halikan kita d'yan eh."
Pokerface. That's what I showed to Sydd. He's nakakainis kasi eh! He's making gulo na nga my isip tapos he always tease me pa.
Tumalikod na'ko to him. And there I'm napatingin sa pinto when Hazel enter the room. Oh, where is her fiance?
Maya maya, the prof arrived na. Then Hazel is tumayo and nag-abot ng paper sa prof.
"What happened, Miss Carillo?"
"Kailangan po kasing pumunta ni Blake sa hospital kaya hindi po siya makakapasok. Excuse letter po 'yan galing sa parents niya." Hazel said.
"Why? May sakit ba si Mr. Smith?"
Hazel is umiling. "Di ko po alam, mam eh."
"Okay. Sit down. I-e-excuse ko nalang siya. Pakisabi nalang na pagaling siya."
Hazel is tumango and umupo na again sa chair niya.
Blake is in the hospital daw? Why naman. He's nagkasakit ba? Or what? Hindi naman siya mukhang sick yesterday eh.
Wait, why am I thinking of him pa ba? Hmp. He's bahala na sa buhay niya. And I don't care about him na 'no. Magsama sila ng Hazel niya.
"Uyy.."
I'm napatingin ulit kay Sydd. He's making kalbit kase eh. "Why?"
"Worried?"
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Of course not! Who is he ba? We're not close para maging worried ako. Psh."
"Sounds defensive. Oo na, wifey. Di ka na worried."
I make paikot my eyes to him. So GRRR! I have no pakialam na kay Blake 'no, since he hurt me and left me hanging like an idiot.
"So..wifey, tara gala."
I'm tumingin ulit kay Sydd. "Where naman?" I don't know but I have naramdaman here sa may heart ko na parang na-excite? Psh. What is this ba? I'm not ganito talaga before kay Sydd. Only to Blake ako ganito.
He's parang nag-iisip pa with matching hawak pa sa chin niya. I'm nakatingin lang to him. Psh! He's mukhang gwapo...whuutttt? No, I mean mukhang ewan. Like duh!
"Saan mo gusto? Anong trip mo? Gusto mo swimming? Hiking? Mountain climbing? Tree climbing? Malling? Park? Movie marathon? Amusement park? O gusto mo, mag-volunteer tayong maglinis ng mga ilog o kaya ng gubat."
Seriously? "You want mega bunot ng buhok sa ilong? So daming satsat. Let's try swimming?"
I'm biglang na-excite sa water. I want to swim. But I don't want sa dagat kase there's a lot of kamukha ni Hazel there eh. You know, she's like a jellyfish. Always making kapit to Blake. Errr!
Sydd's eyes is nanlaki with amusement. "Really? Gusto mong mag-swimming?"
I'm sumimangot. "No. Kaya nga I said, I want to swim, right?" I said in sarcatic tone.
He's nagkamot sa ulo. Oh! I forgot again, I will bili ng suyod for him. I bet he has maraming kuto na sa head niya. Always making kamot.
"Tch. Sabi ko nga, swimming eh." He said.
"Wow! Magsu-swimming kayo? Saan?" Tanong ni Daniella that make singit sa usapan namin ni Sydd. Buti nalang, our prof is not nakatingin and busy writing kalokohan ng lesson niya sa board.
"In buhanginan. You want to swim there? Go. You first." I said with my so-maarteng-salita.
She's sumimangot. Hmp! I want to make tapyas ng noo niya. "Besty! Napaka-pilosopo mo talaga!"
I just rooled my mata to her. "Whatever."
"Basta sama ako ha?" She said then he make tingin to Sydd like she's nagpapa-cute. So ewww! She's like a dog poop. "Please, Sydd?"
Sydd is tumingin sa'ken like he's asking permission. "I don't want." I said. I don't know why.
It was like, I don't want other girl na makakasama ni Sydd. Just me. Ohmyshakeshakefries! I'm being possessive na ba kay Sydd? Why? I'm not aware?
"Uyy, wifey naman. Gusto mo talaga akong ma-solo 'no." Sydd said with his super wide na ngiti. Kairita!
"Besty naman eh! Sama na kasi ako! Para masaya!" Daniella said.
"We're sasaya kahit you're not kasama. Don't be feeler nga. Are you clown ba? Psh. You make sama nalang next time." I said. I don't want talaga. Even if she's my bestfriend, ayoko. I'm being possessive na talaga!
Possessive? It's not my thing. But I believe, it's in our blood. The Abellano's..
She's parang bata na nagpout. Want to putol that nguso. Psh.
"Bestfriend mo ako eh. Dapat kasama ako.."
I'm naiirita na. She's so kulit! I said ayoko. Hmp! I'm tumingin nalang sa board. Almost mapupuno na ng lecture ni prof. Like errr? She thinks ba na we're ko-kopaya sa board? Just one click, I can have a copy na niyan. What pa ba? I can use my cellphone's camera para ma-picturan ang nakasulat sa board. That's the new uso.
Maya maya, Daniella is tumahimik na. Saka, tapos na kase mag-write sa board si prof eh. That's why she can't be maingay na. Sydd make me kalbit.
"What?" I asked.
He's ngiting ngiti. He's mukhang tanga. "Wala, wala.."
I can't intindi him! He will kalbit me and when I look at him and ask him why, he would answer me, wala. And he's ngiting ngiti. He's nababaliw na yata. Should we go to mental na ba para I can make him pagamot there?
"Wifey.." Sydd whispered na slightly dumikit pa to me. And our braso's are bumping. There's electricity na naman.
I looked at him with my pretzel knots noo. "Are you pinaglihi sa meralco?" I asked out of nowhere. I'm really curious about that electricity thingy kasi.
"Ano?" Mahinang tanong niya.
"Never mind. There's pila ng mga bingi tomorrow. You should join." I said then make tingin and focus na ulit sa prof.
Sydd is sometimes slow talaga. Bingi pa and he's baliw pa. Bipolar. Buti pa ako, I'm a normal girl. Really.

Blake POV
Tangna. Kinakabahan ako. Handa na naman ako pero bakit bigla akong natakot? Natatakot ba ako na maiiwan ko si Jewel? O natatakot ako dahil habang paubos ng paubos ang buhay ko, sumasaya siya sa piling ng iba?
"Blake, anak. Okay ka na ba?"
Tumango ako kay Mama. Kanina kasi, paggising ko. Napaubo ako at napansin kong may dugo sa palad ko. Lumalala na talaga ang sakit ko. Mamamatay na ba ako? Sana man lang..
Maparamdam ko kay Jewel ang totoong nararamdaman ko sa kanya bago ako mawala. Pwede naman 'yun 'diba? 'Yung makakasama ko siya maghapon. Ipaparamdam kong napaka-swerte ko dahil ako ang minahal niya. Countless I love you's. I will kiss and hug her until she said it's enough. Magdamag ko siyang tititigan para sa huling paglagot ng hininga ko, mukha niya ang naka-flash sa isip ko.
Paano ko gagawin 'yun gayong galit na galit siya sa'ken? Pinaniwala ko siyang hindi ko siya mahal. Ginawa ko lang naman 'yun para kung dumating man 'yung oras na bigla akong mawala, hindi siya sobrang masaktan. Kung alam niya lang. Gusto kong bugbugin ang sarili ko nung nakita ko siyang umiyak nang dahil sa'ken. Her tears..fvck!
"Mr. Smith."
Nag-angat ako ng tingin. Ang doctor na nagmo-monitor sa kalagayan ko. Wala naman siyang sinasabi na mamamatay na ako pero cancer 'to eh! Traydor ang sakit na'to. Hindi ko alam kung makakaya kong lumaban o hindi. Dahil naniniwala naman ako na kung talagang oras mo na, mangyayari at mangyayari ang bagay na kinatatakutan natin--ang mamatay.
Tumayo na ako at pumasok sa kwarto. Pinagsuot nila ako ng hospital gown. Kailangan muna daw akong manatili dito sa hospital. At hindi ko alam kung hanggang kelan ako dito.
Jewel...give me one whole day. I want to be with you before my last breath stops.

Fancy POV
Sydd, Sydd, Sydd! Si Sydd na sampid! Kidding! I'm watching him kasi habang nag-iihaw ng barbecue. He's wearing his pang-langoy. Short syempre! I don't want to see him na naka-boxer kaya. Baka mag-freak-out ang pink cells ko. Omo!
We're here at the COC resort. We're playing clash of clans here..kidding again! Syempre we are here to swim. That's why we're here in the resort nga eh. I'm wearing my navy blue two piece na pinartneran ko ng mini palda na pang-langoy. Basta ganon, like that. And syempre, under my mini palda, I have panty syempre! Don't be so berde nga. Hmp.
I'm natawa when Sydd is napaubo kasi the usok from inihaw is pumunta sa mukha niya. Hahaha! He's so funny.
"Tatawanan mo nalang ba ako, wifey? Tch. Ikaw kaya iihaw ko tapos kakainin kita."
My eyes are nanlaki. "You're so berde! Ewwww! So GRRR ka!" I said but I felt my pisngi na parang nag-red. Omg. Why is that?
"Teka, teka! Sinong nag-iisip ng green ha? Ikaw, wifey ha! Pa-inosente ka pa, may tinatago ka rin palang ka-berdehan!"
He's teasing me! Omg! So nakakahiya. I am open minded but I'm inosente pa din 'no! Like errrr! I have madaming kalokohan! And syempre my business is kind'a green even if it's red bottle. The bottle that can increase the libido of whoever na iinom no'n and it can make them hot. Omg! Why do I need to paliwanag ba! I'm not defensive ha! I'm good at business lang talaga. I have lots of pera na because of my red bottle. This Sydd wants yata na matikman ang yellow bottle ko. Remember my yellow bottle?
"Shut up!" I said.
"Sus! Shut up, shut up..green mo!"
I looked at him. Pokerfaced. He's malakas talagang mang-asar and kapag I'm nainis ng mega sobra, I will make him painom ng blue bottle so he could fell asleep nalang! Hmp.
"You want mega sipa d'yan sa two circles mo?"
His noo is kumunot. "Two circles?"
I make simangot. "Like duh! So slow! Tse. Bring that barbecue to me na nga. I want to eat na. You're so boring talaga kasama."
He put the barbecue on a plate and make dala dito sa cottage namin. He's smiling again...like he's mukhang tanga.
"Boring daw. Kaya pala hindi mo sinama si Daniella. Kasi sabi mo, sasaya tayo kahit tayong dalawa lang. Naks! Masyado mong pinapahalata na inlove ka na sa'ken, wifey."
I'm biglang nasamid.
"Oh, tubig!"
I'm uminom agad ng water. "Shut up or I will tusok you ng barbecue stick. Psh. Just eat! And don't be maingay nga. I don't want abala sa pagkain ko." I said then I started eating na.
"Oo na, wifey. Sabi mo eh." He said smirking. Psh!
We are kumain ng tahimik but whenever I'm napapagalaw ng konti, our braso are nagbabangga and there I can feel the electricity again. Is he kind of a superhero na may electricity na power? Omg. Sydd is nagtatago na ba ng secret to me? He's the tagapagligtas ba ng walang kuryente?
"Hey, anong iniisip mo? Bakit nakakunot 'yang noo mo? Ganda mo na sana eh.."
I'm napasimangot sa sinabi ni Sydd. He's malakas talaga mang-asar! Like errr! "My noo is not nakakunot 'no! It's pretzel knots. Psh."
"Oh! Pretzel knots? Sa'ken, tingnan mo, curly tops."
I'm nag-poker-face. "Funny. Psh."
"I love you."
Dug, dug..
Onedalawathreeapatfiveanimseven! Omg. What did he sabi? I'm napalunok habang he's nakatitig sa'ken. Then napansin ko that his face is unti-unting lumalapit sa face ko. Shemay! What is this? Why I'm not makagalaw? I like an ice tubig na nilagay sa freezer!
For the second time, I'm napalunok ulit. Is he going to...
My eyes are nanalaki. I don't have the urge na pinigilan siya. Do I want him to kiss me? Oh my gulay! I kennat! Ayan na..
"Sa susunod na kakain ka, 'wag masyadong maamos. Para kang bata. Tch."
My balikat are biglang nalaglag when he said that and make kuha ng maliit na piraso ng barbecue na nasa may taas yata ng lips ko. I thought..
Why!? Am I umaasa that he will make me halik? Gawd! What's happening to me? Do I like his kisses na ba?
"Linisin nga natin." He said and I'm not handa sa sunod niyang ginawa.
Shetnamalagkit! He kissed me. No, he..he..OMG! He licked my lips! Ohmy! He...
I'm natulala when he's natapos.
"Ayan, linis na. Kain na ulit tayo wifey. Hm! Sarap talaga kumain." He said na parang there's no nangyari.
Gawd! That's the first time I felt that kind of...woooo! It's biglang uminit! Ohmycokefloat!
For the third time, I'm napalunok and I'm napatungo. I can't look at Sydd. I'm nahihiya! Sheet of papel! He just licked my labi! And it's nakakahiya! But for him, it's parang normal lang. Duhhhh! It's my labi! Labi! LABI! Lips in english! And licking my lips in public is normal lang to him? He's bipolar talaga!
"Huy, kain na wifey. Natulala ka d'yan? Gusto mo bang linisin ko pa ang labi mo?" He asked while grinning.
"Oo--I mean! I'm kakain na 'no! Don't be maingay nga. Psh!" I said with my mapulang mukha. I can feel that.
And I can also feel that Sydd is nakangisi. Aissshh! Sydd na sampid! You're humanda talaga sa'ken! You're ruining my system! And I don't know why I'm not nagagalit to you.
I'm bipolar na din yata. Should I drink my own fancy bottle na pampa-normal?
