Jealous 0.7
HINDI KO pinapansin na sadya ang lalaki na ngayo'y katabi ko sa upuan, they made me wear a cape and crown and made me hold a bouquet of flowers.
I won daw kasi as the queen of the ball and Collette as the king, oh fuck! Hindi ko kaya kailangan iyang lalaking 'yan, hmp! Magsama siya at ang bituinLETTE na iyon.
Mukhang naramdaman niya iyon, he tried to hold my hand pero iniwas ko iyon.
He face palm and nodded.
As if saying yeah, of course, she's mad again, as if saying there's no day that i wasn't mad at him, wow, ah.
"What?" i asked, trying to calm when he tried to hold my hand again.
"Nothing po, hmp, you mad?" he asked.
"Hindi, sinong galit? Baka ikaw." i answered, namimilosopo.
"Hey, what i have done this time?" he asked.
"Just shut up, you know?"
"How can i? You're mad at me, you know what? There's no sleep for tonight, not until, we make up. Hey, Zai, what--"
He wasn't able to continue what he's saying when the electricity turned off.
Agad kong sinipat kung nasaan ang bag ko, but before i could, there's soemthing fat and long.. It's also big... And i accidentally hold it. What is this?
"Wait, don't move, i think there's something here. Wait, is this a...s-snake?"
I heard Collette sighed, as of he's in big problem.
"Z-Zai."
"No, don't move... The.. The snake... I-I.. Catch it.. I'll catch, just you wait."
Collette seemed to touched my hand too.
I heard him moving leanin his face near me.
"Zai, you're hand is warm."
"What do you mean?"
"Zai... You awake it."
"Awake what? Anong ginising ka diyan? Wait! Don't tell me... It's not snake?" tanong ko.
"Yeah and what--"
"No. Don't even continue what you were about to say, Collette." i said, stopping him from what he was about to say earlier.
"What you just awake, Zai, is my anaconda." he whispered.
Gulat ko namang nabitawan ang kung anong mataba na mahaba na nahawakan ko kanina. Fuck, it's so dark here! Kainis naman, oh.
I heard him chuckling, bigla ay bumalik na ang kuryente. Napako ang tingin ko agad kay Collette at naalala ko yung usapan nila ni Starlette.
Screw you, Mister Collette!
Pasalamat ka wala ka pang titulo na kung anong maisip ko, tsk.
Napataray na lang ako at napatingin na lang ako kina Kuya Sabvier at Starlette.
Starlette looks so scared, she have a phobia at darkness nga pala. And as of Kuya Sabvier, it's obvious, this dude is taking advantage of it.
Nakaupo sa lap niya si BituinLETTE. Hawak niya ito sa beywang at balakang, nakapalibot ang mga kamay niya dito, walang space sa kanila. Si Kuya Sabvier pa ba, syempre wala iyan.
"Ay! Wow, nagdilim lang may nagliwanag na love story na!" reklamo ng MC.
Napailing iling naman ako, so true kaya. Tapos umiling ka? Alangan naman magkibit balikat? Duh, at least nod! Sori naman, di ko naisip, eh.
"So, wow, LAKAS ng CHEMISTRY natin, ah, King and Queen, naku, prom yarn? Ay! Wait, pamilyar kayo! The HIGHSCHOOL sweetheart? Oo, ang famous love team ng Cirvizfitenx Victoria Uni, oh my! Who thought that, someday i will be able to be with the two of you, what a small world nga naman no." he explained.
Nakilala niya kami? Who is him again?
"Naku! It's me, Haji the papicture po sa tuwing makikita kayo, duh."
Nagkatinginan kami ni Collette.
*SNA P* *SNAP*
TAHIMIK LANG akong nagpipindot pindot sa cp ko. I just take a selfi, ipopost ko.
"Sissy! Next time, i'll invite you in my place, for you to meet Eight, hihi. You know what? You're his type, haha
Funny, right?" she asked.
"Mm, I'll go with the flow."
"Oh? Uyy, ZAI, bye na! I need to go, blind date. Haha, finally! Sana makatulong na makamove-on na sa kumag, owshie." sabi pa niya bago tumatalon talon na naglakad papalayo.
May naisip ako bigla.
"SABIHIN MO SANA DI KA KAMO NABUNTIS!" sigaw ko kay Tali.
Napatigil siya.
"WAAHH! YOU'RE RIGHT, ZAI. Sana nga." pagsasang-ayon pa niya sa akin.
Natawa na lang ako at ng may magalalay sa akin papasok sa sasakyan ay sumama na lang ako. Teka! Kanino ako sumakay? Shet.
Lulundag sana ako paalis ng sasakyan pero hinapit na ng pamilyar na braso ang beywang ko.
Isinuksok ni Collette ang mukha niya sa leeg ko.
"Don't leave, please?"
Hindi ako nagsalita.
"Is your silent a yes?"
Hindi ako sumagot.
"Zai? Manghuhula ako? Yeah. So, what's the answer, Collette?"
Hindi pa rin ako nagsalita.
"Yeah, the answer is she'll stay, Collette." sagot niya sa sarili.
Hindi ko pa rin siya pinansin.
"Che!" sagot ko sa lahat ng sagot niya.
"New language, Zai? So, yes? My honey.. Haha." bitter na pagkakasabi niya. What's wro---The video!
Hindi ko ulit siya pinansin.
Bumitaw siya sa pagkakayakap.
"I'll drive now, hanap ka na atah ng mga anak natin. And Oopps! Wala akong pake sa reyalidad. Ako man o hindi ang tunay na ama, i'm still their father." sabi niya, na para bang pipigilan ko siya sa kabaliwan niya.
Hindi ko na lang pinansin ang mga pinagsasabi niya.
"Zai? Can you sing, please?" he asked.
Hindi ako nagsalita at tumango lang.
"Yey! Zaira mute era." sagot niya sa respond ko.
Tumaray na lang ako.
"Walking and glancing,
Where have you been?
Baby, i am waiting,
Why did you suddenly became so mean?"
Panimula pa lang ang kinakanta ko ngunit hanggang tainga na ang ngiti ng lalaking nagdradrive. Wow, ganda ho ng ngitian natin, ah? Sus.
"You're voice is such a angel-like, Zai."he praised my voice.
"Ganda ko daw kasi kaya pinahiram ng diyos."
Natawa naman siya.
"Running and Following,
The path i thought we've been choosen,
But why did it turns out like this?
Like a mess without miss?"
Napangiti siya.
"Are you sad? Why are you singing that, Zai?" he asked.
"Wala! Mood lang." sagot ko. Pake mo?
"Hmm... Zai, can you sing something... Happy?"
Tumango lang ako.
"Kindness, Kindness,
They call her goddess,
Because of her smiles,
And it just bright the world so high, so up!"
Natawa ako bigla, ang corny kasi, sheez.
"Ano ba kasi iyan, Del Echavierra. Parang engot na ewan, eh. May radio diyan, oh? Spotify? Oh, 'yan patugtugin mo, huwag ako, magaling lang ako umungol pero di kumanta."
Natawa kami parehas dahil sa sinabi ko, nagkatitigan muna kami bago kami matawa at napatakip pa ako ng bibig, sheez, dirty mouth.
Napatago na lang ako ng mukha sa balikat niya. Kahiya iyon ng medyo.
"Paano iyong ungol?" pang-aasar pa niya sa akin.
Parang ano naman, eh.
Tinignan ko siya ng masama.
"Parang ano naman, syempre yung may pa--UGH! OHH! AHH! UGH, SHIT! Ganon." sabi ko at may pa-action pa ng kaunti.
Natawa naman kami ulit, sheez. Mababaliw na atah kami, eh.
He continue on driving the car. While i just... Ano pa na ba? I'm bored. I look at his phone. Walang sabi sabi ay kinuha ko iyon. When i open it, ako ang nasa wallpaper. The picture i send, yung galit ako. Really, wow, nice, Collette, nice.
"What's the password."
"I don't think you'll know."
Tinignan ko siya at tinarayan.
"Kaya nga nagtatanong, eh! Commonsense, Collette."
Natawa siya.
"So, what's the password?"
"I don't think you'll know nga." kalmadong sagot niya ulit sa akin.
Asar ko siyang tinignan.
"Hindi na ko nakikipagbiruan." i lied.
"And even i. Come on, think literally, Zai." dagdag niya.
"Eh?" sagot ko naman sa kanya.
Itinype ko ang sinabi niya. Ang i don't think you'll know. And it's indeed the password.
"What the fuck?" asik ko.
"Galing, ah" sacristic kong dagdag.
Proud lang siyang ngumiti.
"So, ano ito?" i asked.
It's some blurry pictures. Nag-take pa ng photo, blurry lang rin naman.
"Photos taken by my friend's daughter." sagot niya sa akin.
Oh? Sino may anak na sa kanila?
"Oh? Wow, mabuti naalagaan niya. Where's her mom?" tanong ko pa.
"I have no idea on where she is, Zai. It's just kinuha lang ng kaibigan namin yung bata mula sa nanay nito, ayaw daw niyang taguan siya ng anak."
Gulat akong napatingin sa kanya. The heck?
"De wow, gara niya naman pala, sino iyong kaibigan mo?" tanong ko pa ulit.
"Well, It's Ambrose." sagot niya, si Brose?
"Ke't kailan talaga, ang lalaking iyon, di papalamang. He comes too far, paano kung hanapin iyon ng nanay? Kawawa naman." dagdag ko pang sabi kay Collette.
He smiled. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at hinaplos ito, he stroke some invisible doodles on it.
"That's what we thought at first too, then, we get to know that if the child stays.... It will die. The girl's family will not be able to accept it that's why they will kill the poor baby. But luckily, it's now on her father, Ambrose." kwento pa niya.
Tahimik lang akong nakikinig sa kanya.
"But how sure you are that the baby itself is safe with him?" nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya.
He smirk.
"Honey... Come on, Brose is an emperor. Em-Pe-Ror, and he's overprotected by his empire, also, we trust him." sagot niya naman sa'kin habang nakangiti na.
What the fuck, Zai? Why did you let your guard down with this guy? Tangina!
