JHOANA
*brrring brrring brrring* alarm clock
I reached the alarm clock and threw it away, but I heard manang rushed inside my room
"Jho, nako ikaw na bata ka may hangover ka na naman siguro. Bumangon ka na jan mabuti at dinalhan kita ng kape" manang
Unti-unti akong binangon ni manang nang pilit kaya napaupo na ako sa kama
"Manang ambaho! Get that stinky coffee away from me. Alam mong hindi ako umiinom niyan"
"Kailangan mong uminom, malelate na kayo sa kasal. Abay ka pa naman, sige na para hindi magalit papa mo" manang
"Psh, hindi na niya kailangang magalit, he despises me na nga"
"Jho anak, mahal ka ng p-" manang
"Stop right there manang, I don't wanna hear lies at this early" I said and massaged my head
Sakit ng ulo ko puta
"Totoo naman ah" manang
"Manang can you please leave my room nalang? I can take care of myself and please greet mama a goodmorning for me, I don't wanna hear sermons rin from her"
"Sige sasabihin ko yan pero hindi muna ako aalis hanggat hindi ka pumapasok sa banyo, baka tumakas ka na naman" manang
I just rolled my eyes at tumayo na para makapasok na sa banyo
When I was about to open the shower my phone suddenly rang
*09*** calling*
I answered the call
"Hey honey! Good morning!" guy
"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Rex, can't you remember me? We were together last night and had the best night together" Rex?
"You're the tall guy at the bar?"
"Yup. Andddd I just wanna ask you if we can go out?" Rex
"You wish" I said and ended the call
He's Rex and we must had a random hookup last night
BEATRIZ
"Which polo should I use ba?"
I'm preparing myself for later, aattend kasi kami ng wedding kasama parents ko
My phone rang
*Mom calling*
I answered the call
*Det and Bea's phone call*
"Hello mom, good morning"
"Yes good morning anak. Nakabihis ka na ba?" mom Det
"Almost, what about you? Si dad?"
"We're done na at paalis na kami. Drive safely anak ha pag aalis ka na" mom Det
"Ok mom thanks, you too ingat din kayo ni dad"
"We will. But wait before I forget, Bea yung bilin ko sa'yo" mom Det
"Yes mom, *sigh* to show my wide smile to people and greet them if I can"
"Anong if I can? Greet them talaga para they know that you're polite and all" mom Det
"Mom, matagal pa naman yung campaign"
"Now your complaining?" mom Det
"No mom, I'm sorry"
"Sana alam mo yan anak that we need power, Elmer's term is over" mom Det
"Mom he will run naman for a higher position"
"Kahit na, sige na anak aalis na kami. Take care, I love you" mom Det
"Yeah love you too mom!"
The call ended
JHOANA
Tapos ko nang gawin ang role ko as an abay to this freaking wedding. I'm getting bored na sa mass ugh
I need to think of an idea how to escape here from my parents' supervision or should I say my papa's supervision?
"Ma I need to pee, labas lang ako saglit" I whispered
"Sige, bilisan mo anak balik ka agad" mama Lovel whispered back
I nodded at tumayo na ako para makaalis na
"Stop" papa John
Napatingin ako kay papa
"Jaja anak samahan mo si Jhoana" papa John
"Ok po" Jaja
Bumalik ako sa pwesto ko ng upo
"Pa wag nalang, kaya ko naman"
"I don't trust you kung tatakas ka lang" papa John
"John hayaan mo na, punta lang siyang cr" mama Lovel
Thanks ma! Haha. Kaya nakaalis na ako at nakalabas ng simbahan. Dumeretso ako sa car ko and got my handy liquor and drink it while sitting on the car hood. Earlier I texted someone to fetch me outta here, hindi ko alam kung kanino ako nag text basta kung sino nalang yung nasa contacts ko
BEATRIZ
"Dad, the mass is about to end naman na, can I see you at the reception area nalang?" I whispered
"Oh bakit?" dad Elmer
"Papahangin lang, please dad"
"Sige na nga, ako nang bahala sa mom mo" dad Elmer
Yes! So I went outside kung saan naka park yung car ko. Nang madaanan ko ang isang babae na umiinom? Habang nakaupo sa car hood. Wait she's an abay, so she sneaked out just to drink?
I just ignored her, magkatabi lang kasing naka park yung car namin
I looked at the sky, ugh what a calming sight, ang ganda. Kaya I took my phone out of my pocket and captured the clear sky
Then suddenly I heard someone giggling, lumingon naman ako kung saan nanggaling yun. Surprisingly the abay girl is the one who's giggling
"There is nothing special in the sky mister" abay girl
JHOANA
I'm drunk na yata shet but not naman super
"There is nothing special in the sky mister"
"So? Why do you care?" cold na sagot nung poging babae
She's cute and pogi naman. But she's capturing the sky? Haha parang hindi nakakakita lagi ng sky ah
"All you see is Blue clouds, nakakaumay nga tignan eh"
"Miss, clouds are White and the sky is Blue" mister
"What's your name mister clever?"
I heard her sigh
"I'm Bea de Leon, you are?" she smiled
What a sudden change of mood? Suplada lang kanina eh
"Jhoana!" someone shouted
Napatingin naman ako sa sumigaw ng name ko. Tumakbo lang siya papalapit sa'kin
"Let's go?" he's panting
"Ok! Wait, who are you again?"
BEATRIZ
"Ok! Wait, who are you again?" Jhoana asked the guy
So Jhoana is her name pala
I saw the guy whispered something to Jhoana on her ears and Jhoana looks so confused after. Then agad nalang niyang binuhat si Jhoana sa shoulders nung guy. Fuck that's kidnapping, Jhoana didn't know who she was with
"Hey! Where are you bringing her?!" I shouted
"None of your business loner!" guy shouted back
Malapit lang yung car niya at agad na niyang isinakay si Jhoana sa shotgun seat then pumunta yung guy sa kabilang side at sumakay na
I immediately got into my car para mahabol ko pa sila, buti nalang at gamit ko 'tong Mercedes-Benz AMG GT ko para mabilis. While driving, I dialed the police
*police on the phone*
"Hello officer? Someone is being kidnapped........"
JHOANA
"I'm not kidnapped what the heck?"
We were about to go to the bar when the police caught us. I was gonna have fun na naman sana hinuli pa kami
"Ma'am, ayon kay ma'am Bea hindi mo raw kilala ang lalakeng to" police
My friend is handcuffed
"I k-know him, he's M-Marco, right?"
Honestly I don't know his name pero I know his face naman
"Tignan mo? Marci itong nasa id niya ma'am hindi Marco" police
"Hey! I said Marci kaya" shit what a dumb mistake
"You're being caught na nga tapos you lie pa" Bea
"Bakit ka ba kasi nakikisawsaw sumbungera?" Marci
"I'm not meddling, I'm simply being honest here" Bea
BEATRIZ
"Hey!" someone shouts behind my back
Everything is settled na, hindi ko na ipinakulong yung Marci. Pabalik na ako ngayon sa car ko para makaalis na dito sa police station
I turned my back to see the one shouted, it's Jhoana. Naglakad pa siya papalapit sa'kin
"Yes? Any problem?"
"Thank you!" Jhoana, but seems like she's upset from saying thank you
"Welcome"
"Thank you because my father will kill me from what you did, idiot" Jhoana
Then she walked away after saying those to me. Pero napaisip ako, why did she say that?
