(1/2)
"Janna! Gisingggg!" Walang abog na pag gising saakin ni Anne. Buti nalang mahaba patience ni Simon sakanya.
Tumagilid ako ng higa at biglang tumanday sa unan ko. "Ano ba yon?"
Walang anu't ano pa ay biglang hinila ni Anne ang braso ko at hinatak ako patayo habang natutulog pa ko. "Bumangon kana jan!" Diba? Walang hiya talaga huhu.
"Ay punyeta ka, teh! Natutulog yung tao eh. Ano ba kasing kailangan mo sakin?" Pag-ingit ko sakanya.
"Nako, teh. Alam mo ba kung anong oras na??" Tanong ni Anne.
Napatingin ako sa orasan, "Oh? Alas dos ng hapon.. Alas do-- ALAS DOS NA?!"
Anne shook her head, "Tsk tsk.. Ayan sinasabi ko sainyo ni Sandro eh."
I widen my eyes, "Huy! Hindi pa kami mag asawa!" I slapped her shoulder.
She giggled like ass, "Bakit? Wala pa naman akong sinasabi ah? Guilty ka noh!"
"Siraulo! Alam mong mabait ako."
She looked at me intently, "Hmmm.."
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever. Paniguradong may iuutos kana naman sakin kaya mo ko ginising hano? Usually hindi ka naman concern kahit late ako magising eh."
"Eh ayun na nga, papasamahan ko sana sayo iyong boyfriend ko." Wika nya.
"Oh? San na naman gala nung boyfriend mo?"
She came closer and whispers, "Ipapa spy ko sana sayo si Simon."
I pushed her, "Gaga ka! Boyfriend mo ipapa spy mo sakin?!"
"Eh wala kasi akong tiwala sa mga tropa nya. May boys night out daw sila." She explained.
"Ewan ko sayo! Wala kang tiwala sa boyfriend mo ah." I exclaimed.
I went to the restroom to wash my face, Anne followed me, "Hay nako. Hindi mo ko maiintindihan hanggat hindi mo pa nararanasang pag paalaman ni Sandro ng ganitong boys night out nila."
"Fine! Magkano bayad mo?" I said as i am spreading facial wash on my face.
Anne made a face, "Oh, bat may bayad pa?"
"Syempre noh! Ang hirap kaya ng gagawin ko. Delikado na. pag nahuli ako, damay ako."
She rolled her eyes, "Fine! 1k?"
I replied as i rinse my face with water, "Higher."
"1,500?"
I pat a towel on my face and turned off the switch of light on the restroom, "Kulang pa rin. How about 2k?"
"Sobra na yun!" Anne complained, following me back to the bed.
"2k or wag nalang." I suggested.
"Okay. Fine. 2k na." She replied with the finality on her voice.
I smiled evily, "Deal!" I immediately get up and change my clothes. "Bye, imma spy your boyfriend now." I smirked.
-TIME SKIP-
📍Cockhouse Bar, Laoag Ilocos Norte
I followed Simon until he reached his destination. Wala naman ako nakitang any other girls doon bukod sa mga waitress na nag-aaccomodate sa mga customers sa labas. And nothing to worry 'cuz they were wearing a decent uniform lol kaya ako nagtataka kung bakit nag hihinala pa itong si Anne sa boyfriend nya. Sabagay, ikaw ba naman ganito ka gwapo yung boyfriend mo eh. Anyways, andito lang ako sa loob ng kotse ni Sandro dahil iyon ang dinala ko for now. Pero of course, malayo yung pinag park-an ko dahil kilalang kilala ni Simon ang sasakyan ng kuya Sandro nya. I saw him entered the bar so i followed him. Syempre para hindi halata, i change my outfit into a sexy dress partnered with silver pumps. And i pretended a normal customer lang nila. Umupo lang ako doon sa bar area at umorder lang ako ng water. Yes, water lang dahil malalagot ako kay Sandro kapag uminom ako. Pinagmasdan ko lang si Simon ng patago and i saw nothing. Kasama nya lang ang mga friends nya and they were just having fun like what he had said to her girlfriend Anne. I'm just peacefully watching him secretly until lumapit sa bar area iyong isang kaibigan ni Simon para umorder pa ng isang beer. Nagandahan ito sakin. Well, no wonder. Bigla akong tumalikod sa direction nila Simon dahil nakatingin sya sa bar area lalo na't andun ang kaibigan nya. I felt uncomfortable sa tingin saakin nung tropa ni Si. He was looking me from head to toe. Hanggang sa kinausap nya na ako the moment he got his one more can of beer.
"Hi, miss! Alone?"
I smiled fakely, "Yeah."
He rubbed my cheeks gently using his thumb all down away to my shoulders, at syempre hindi ako nakapag tiis. I kicked his bird at namilipit ito sa sakit. Deserve.
Ang akala ko ay tapos na. Tumakbo na ako palabas ng bar pero hinabol nya ako. Sakto pang naka pony tail ako noon kaya naman ay mabilis nyang nahablot ang buhok ko. Pagka hablot nya ay kinaladkad nya ako sa cr ng mga lalaki.
"Walang hiya kang babae ka! Anong karapatan mong ipahiya ako doon?" Pagalit na sigaw nya. Nakakatakot. Our faces was only distanced in inches. I can feel his breath.
I was trying my best to push him. Pero sino ba naman ako? Eh malaki syang tao at i was pinned on the wall by him, "Tigilan mo ko! Pakawalan mo na ako please!"
At mas lalo ko syang nagalit nung mga oras na yon, "Hindi! Ano ko tanga? Ang ganda ganda na nitong nabingwit ko eh papakawalan ko pa ba? Syempre titikman ko na." And he looked at me again from head to breast.
He was smelling my neck at wala akong magawa kung hindi pumikit at maiyak nalang. I hope i could shout and call my boyfriend Sandro. Pero even my mouth had covered by his handkerchief na medyo nakakahilo ang amoy kaya kahit anong sigaw ko ay wala talagang makakarinig saakin.
And finally, hindi na sya nakapag tiis. He grabbed my neck and was about to kiss me not until somebody opened the comfort room's door. "What the f*ck, pre??"
And it was Simon.
Binitawan ako bigla noong kaibigan ni Simon at wala na akong pake kung mabuking ako ni Simon atleast naging safe ako. I run to him and cried on his chest so hard.
"Janna?? What are you doing here?" Simon asked. And i don't have enough breath to answer him. So he asked his friend instead.
"And you!" He pointed on his friend. "How dare you to do something to her??" He groaned. Pulang pula na sya sa galit.
Nanginginig na sumagot ang kaibigan nya na nag tangkang pagsamantalahan ako, "S-sorry, Simon. I didn't know na magkakilala pala kayo ng babae na ya--"
"F*ck you! I don't need your f*cking explanations, get out or else i will call cops to imprison you!" Pagalit na sagot ni Simon.
At agad namang lumabas ng banyo ang kaibigan ni Si. Pagkalabas nito ay Simon did cupped my face. I was still crying and crying. And he was just hugging and comforting me and i never felt this safe in my whole life.
"Why are you here ba kasi? Did you and kuya Sands had an argument?" He asked me gently as i was chasing my breath.
I shook my head to answer him as a no.
"Okay, come on. Do you have your car with you?" Simon asked as soon as we went outside the bar.
I nodded and still chasing my breath after crying.
He was still hugging me, "I'll be the one who's gonna drive to our house."
I frowned at him, "Teka, asan yung dala mong kotse?"
"I didn't brought my car, i ride a taxi earlier." He explained, shrugging his shoulders.
***
"Are you okay now?" Simon asked me as soon as we got inside the car.
I was trembling the whole time, "Y-yes. I guess. I am much better now than earlier."
And Simon finally started the engine, "Just relax there, okay?"
I stare at him while driving, "Si?"
"Hmm?" He replied while focusing on the road.
"Please don't tell Sandro." I told him shyly.
Napalingon saakin si Simon, "Why not? He needs to know everything happened." He insisted.
I held his arm while driving and made a puppy eyes to beg him, "Please.. Simon.."
"F-fine.." He answered.
"Btw, what are you doing in the bar earlier? You're supposed to be with your son." Simon asked out of nowhere.
I sigh deeply, "Anne made me to follow you."
A curiosity crept on Simon's face, "What? Why did she do that?"
"That's my question also. Nagtataka nga ako bakit ka pa nya pinag hihinalaan eh wala ka naman sigurong cheat experience sa past diba? Yung ikaw mismo ang nag cheat?" I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
He nodded. "Yup."
A moment of silence appeared between us. Simon's still driving.
I heared him deeply breathe, "Umm, Janna.. I-i have something to tell you that i know i wasn't supposed to but since before it never go away from my mind."
I stare at him with confusion, "Ano yun?"
"I-i loved you."
I have no reaction, past tense naman yung sinabi nya. "Since when Simon?"
He exhales, "Since the year that we've been friends together."
"And? Kelan nahinto yung feelings mo sakin?" I asked him intently.
"The moment that i met Anne. Who's now my other half." Aww, ang sweet.
I smiled, "You did a great job in courting Anne, Si!"
He smiled back, "And thanks to you 'cuz because of you, i met the second to the most beautiful person in my life after my mom."
"You're brave enough, Si. Atleast ngayon nasabi mo na saakin. But to be honest, muntik na rin kitang magustuhan." I explained as i was looking at him while driving.
He raised his eyebrows, "Really? How?"
I looked outside through the window, "Because why not? You're gentleman, pogi, smart and responsible. Sino pang hindi magkakagusto sayo diba?"
"You have a point tho." He giggled.
"So pano ba yan? Goods tayo ah! I'm happy for you na finally, nakaamin kana rin. Maybe past na yon pero i still appreciate." I replied get down the car, we're already back home.
Simon pressed his lips and nodded, "Yup! I already have my Anne and you already have your Sandro. I'm happy for the both of us.^^"
I smiled at him, "Thank you, Si!" I held his hand, "Maybe we're not meant to be as lovers, but we're meant to be as brothers and sisters 'cuz you're gonna be my brother in law soon."
He found himself giggling again, "Yeah. And let's all forget about it. Past is past. It shouldn't be in topic this time of present."
STAY TUNED FOR PART 2!!
