LIZZIE’s POV
Grilled prawns fresh from the river is sobrang sarap..
Halos wala na kaming tinira ni pinuno.. ubos lahat..
Sabi nya.. magpahinga daw muna kami sandali..
At heto nga kami..
Upo-upo plus higa-higa din pag may time..
:)
Sya nakaupo.. tas nakahiga ako sa lap nya..
Eh pinahiga ako ee..
Nakatingin lang sya sa dagat..
I was looking at him.. at kapag titingin na sya sakin..
Ilalayo ko naman na tingin ko nun from him..
Ilang beses naulit yun..
Then bigla na lang syang tumawa..
It sound so sweet..
So musculine..
So sexy..
I stared at him..
Then she looks at me and pinch my cheeks..
“ouch..!” nasabi ko na lang.. pero really..? hindi masakit ^o^
Hehe
I don’t know what time it is.. pero the sun is so up na.. and its kinda hot also..
Mayang konti.. magffishing kami.. ang kasi.. hindi pamingwit ang gagamitin..
Yung sibat ba tawag dun..?
Eh basta yun na yun..
Ginawa nya kasi kanina yun..
“anong araw na ngayon..?” tanong ko..
“Sunday..?” sagot nya.. he’splaying with my hair..
Tumango-tango na lang ako..
“how’s your mom..?” he asked..
Di ako sumagot agad..
“oops.. sorry.. okay lang kung di mo sagutin.. it’s offensive.. i know..” he said..
There was a long silence between us..
Then..
“i don’t know.. she went away with her boyfriend.. tapos di na sya ulit nagparamdam.. sabi sandali lang daw sya.. kaso ewan ko ba.. parang wala na yatang balak bumalik..” i said..
“kelan pa ba sya umalis..?” tanong nya..
Nagkibit-balikat na lang ako..
Tinapik nya noo ko..
Nagulat ako and napatingin sa kanya..
“akala ko ba iidlip ka..?” tanong nya..
“di na ko inantok ee..” sabi ko sa kanya.. “huli na tayong isda..?”
“sige.. tayo na ikaw dyan..” sabi nya..
Then he even helped me stand..
Nagready na kami para manghuli ng isda..
Nauna na syang maglakad sakin papunta sa dagat..
He’s back is so broad.. well built body..
And he’s shirtless..
Kanina kasi.. ginamit na pambalot nung mga hipon yung shirt nya.. kaya nung maluto namin lahat ng hipon, kinuha ko yung shirt nya and nilabhan dun sa lagoon..
Hindi actually laba ang tawag sa ginawa ko, wala kasing sabon.. puro kusot lang.. pero atleast.. luminis yung shirt nya chaka nawala yung amoy malansa.. then when i went back, sinampay ko na lang..
Kaya ayun.. nakasabit yung shirt nya sa isang sanga ng puno para matuyo..
I followed him..
He’s now so focus on whatever he’s doing.. he’s aiming hard at the water.. then bigla nyang tinusok yung sibat nya nag gotcha.. nakahuli sya..
He looked at me and winave nya yung sibat na may natusok na isda then he smiled..
I went to him and gave him the stick na kinuha din namin kanina..
Pinahawak nya sakin yung sibat then tinanggal nya yung isda and isinuksok yung gills nun sa stick na kinuha nya sakin..
Then kinuha nya yung sibat and gave me back the stick na meron na ngayong isda..
Nakalimang isda na kami all in all.. haha..
“okay na..” sabi nya..
The i smiled to him..
She went to me and kinuha yung mga isda sakin..
Actually.. naandito na ako sa may walang tubig.. kanina pa.. lulusong lang ako kapag me nahuli na sya..
Kasama yung mga isda chaka yung sibat nya.. nilapag nya yung mga yun sa batong malapit..
He smiled at me and i just looked at him intently..
Then bigla nya kong binuhat.. yung derechong buhat na dinala nya ko sa balikat nya..
This is FIRST TIME..!!
“aaaaaahhhhh... aaaaaahhhhh...” pagpupumiglas ko..
“wag kang malikot.. malalaglag ka..” sabi nya na tumatawa..
“ibaba mo koooooooohhhhhhh..” sigaw ko sa kanya.. sabay hampas-hampas ko sa likod nya..
Tama.. hampas-hampas.. kasi madaming beses yun.. madaming-madaming beses..
Tawa lang sya ng tawa hanggang sa ibaba nya ko sa tubig..
At ayun na.. basaan lang kami ng basaan..
Hagikgikan lang ng hagikgikan..
And we enjoyed swimming together..
Seriously.. together..
Sa sobrang tuwa.. napalapit ako sa kanya..
I was pushing him on his shoulders..
Sya naman.. nakahawak sa baywang ko..
And we’re facing each other.. laughing..
Uhm..
Awkwarddddddd...?
He stared at me.. looked into my eyes..
Nawala yung tawa namin..
We were just standing here..
All alone..
No one’s watching us..
It’s just us..
I don’t know why my heart beats so fast.. like i was running or something..?
I don’t know why my cheeks feel so hot..
I don’t know why was he looking at me.. no.. staring at me like that..
I don’t understand this moment..
What’s with here..?
What’ll we do..?
He came nearer and nearer.. pulling me to him..
I looked at him..
I don’t understand..
He’s staring at me.. as in super stare..
We were just inches away from each other..
He’s pulling me on my waist..
I can smell his breath..
Oh God..
His stares never left my eyes..
Hindi ko alam kung ano ba dapat yung mararamdaman ko..
Sya kasi.. nakatitig lang sakin.. as in titig lang..
Lumunok ako..
Lapit na sya..
Our eyes totally met.. one inch away from each other..
He put his forehead onto mine..
Then looked at me in the eyes..
Then his nose touches mine.. then he moved..
I can feel his breath..
I can smell his breath..
His lips is just i guess..
1 centimeter away from mine..
That short..
I know now what he wants to do..
He was about to kiss me..
Will i go with it..?
Anyway..
I already gave him my first kiss..
Its just that he doesn’t know..
Pero first kiss pa din naman yun..
Am i ready..?
I moved my right foot at my back..
Not letting go of his touch.. not getting away of his face..
He was about to kiss me..
I’ll just wait for his lips to touch me..
Ilang guhit na lang ng ruler ang pagitan ng lips nya sa lips ko..
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....????????????????
WRONG TIMING..!
Humampas samin yung malaking alon..
At yung paa ko..? lumubog..
Ede natumba ako sa tubig..
Tangay sya..
Awkwarddddddddddddd...
Sobrang awkwarddddddddddddddd....
He stood up and help me stand..
“uhm..” i said.. awkward.. sobra.. super..
“okay ka lang ha Felicity..?” he said..
“yeah.. thanks..” i said.. not feeling really cool..
He’s looking at me.. still..
Kaso..
Nakakaasiwa pala to no..?
“uhm.. tara..” yaya ko sa kanya..
Then we went back to the shore..
He said.. lilinisin nya daw muna yung mga isda para maihaw namin..
So what i did is..
Lumapit ako sa fire..
Then put some wood onto it para hindi mamatay..
Then i went inside the forest to gather more firewood..
Hanggang sa nakarating na naman ako sa lagoon..
Lumusong ako sa tubig and tumapat sa tubig na nadausdos mula sa taas..
I didn’t take off my clothes..
Eh ba’t pa..? basa na din naman lahat ee..
Edi ituloy na lang ang pagkabasa..
Ano yung kanina..?
Ano ko ba sya..?
Anong right ko para hayaan syang gawin yun..?
Chaka meron syang girlfriend di’ba..? yata..?
Teka nga lang..
Kelan ba ko nagkaron ng pakialam kung meron man syang girlfriend o wala..?
Haixt.. ibalik na lang kaya ang dati..?
Hindi ko naman sya close..
Syempre.. kami lang dalawa dito kaya kami nag-uusap..
Pero kelan pa ba ko nasanay magkaron ng kasama..?
Eh sa totoo lang.. mas gusto ko pang mag-isa na lang muna..
Tsk..
Plus..
Paano ko sya haharapin..?
Its awkward..
The air here feels so awkward..
DEYMIT >.<
Relax lang.. tama ba..?
Ha Lizzie..?
Pag na save na kami..
Back to normal na lang kami pareho..
Back to normal na lang lahat..
Kunwari.. walang nangyari..
Teka..
Eh wala naman talagang nangyari ee..
Anong tinatalak-talak ng utak ko dito..?
Wala naman palang nangyari ee.. so bakit ako umeemote..?
Pinasasakit ko lang utak ko..
Soon enough..
I decided to go back..
Kaso.. mas kailangan ko pa palang humanap ng firewoods..
Pag-ahon ko..
I felt something weird..
Within me..
I looked down..
SERIOUSLY..?!!!!!
I immediately opened my pants.. and look inside..
Bakit ngayon pa..?
Oww shit..!!
Wrong timing..!
Ngayon pa talaga ako nagkaron..
Anong gagamitin kong pad..?
Chaka lalaki yung kasama ko..
Oww..
Shit..
Anong gagawin ko..?
I put my pants back..
Babalik ako dun.. ang kaso.. paano naman ako gagalaw..?
With these..?
Imposibleng gumalaw ng maayos..
Haixt..
Bahala na..
I started to gather firewoods..
When i got enough.. i started to walk back to what we call camp..
Geezzzz....
I put down the firewoods and sat in the log na nasa tapat ng apoy..
Pano ko neto..?
Shocks..
Masakit pa naman kapag meron ako..
GG..
Super duper..
Tsk..
“i’m done..!” sabi bigla ng kasama ko.. nilapag nyaang mga isda sa malapad na dahon at ipinatong sa isa pang log na nakatumba.. then he sat beside me..
“san ka galing..?” he asked while smiling..
Tinaas ko yung hawak kong firewood..
“owww..” he said..
Then.. a whole silence went between us..
“uhm.. you okay..?” he asked..
Tumango na lang ako.. though.. i can feel now na nagsisimula ng sumakit ang puson ko..
“are you mad..?” he asked.. “about.........”
“no..” sabi ko sabay iling..
“ang tahimik mo..” sabi nya..
Will i say it..?
Pano..?
Aixt..
“uhm.. may kapatid ka bang babae..?” tanong ko na lang sa kanya..
“yeah.. why..?” he asked..
“ilang taon..?” i asked..
“6 and 7 years old..” he said..
Six..?
Seven..?
Geezzz..
Lizzie.. anong tingin mo sa six at seven years old..?
Meron na agad period..?
Seriously Lizzie..?
Isip-isip din pag may time..
Teteng na..
“sigurado ka okay ka lang..?” he asked again..
I looked at him..
Will i tell him..?
Seriously..?
He looked at me as if he’s waiting for an answer..
“uhm..” i said..
Ang hirap sabihin.. seryoso -_-
“yes..?” tanong nya..
“you know.. the girl thing..” i said to him..
He looked at me na parang hindi alam ang sinasabi ko..
I looked at him..
Wait..
Seryoso ba sya..?
Hindi nya ba talaga alam yung sinasabi ko..?
“uhm..” he said..
Okay..
I get it..
Clueless..
So clueless..
Tsk..
“that girl thing..” i repeat..
“uhm.. what girl thing..?” he asked..
“that thing that visits every girl every month..” i said...
“huh..?” he asked..
“you really got no idea..?” i asked him..
Umiling sya.. oh my God..
“seriously..?” i asked..
Then he just looked at me..
Sinalo ko ng palad ang noo ko..
Ang hirap sabihin aa..
Infairness..
“oww wait..” he said..
I looked at him..
“you mean..?” then he looked at me intently..
I looked at him..
“yung.. every month..?” tanong nya..
Hindi ba ko narinig neto..?
Tumango na lang ako..
“you’ve got it now..?” tanong nya..
I nod again..
“oww..” he said.. then he looked at the fire..
Okay.. this is really..
AWKWARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.........
“whew..” he said.. putting more woods on the fire..
I can’t say a single thing..
This is really awkward..
So so so awkward..
“teka.. hanap lang akong stick..” sabi nya.. then tumayo sya..
“shirt mo..” sabi ko..
“oww..” kinuha nya yung shirt nya na nakasabit sa puno.. hinawakan ko yun kanina.. so i know.. tuyo na yun.. “salamat..” sabi nya.. kaso di nya sinuot.. then he went inside the forest..
I was left alone there..
Poking the fire..
Haixt..
GRAY’s POV
He said he had period..
Whoa..
I mean..
Whoa..
And i don’t even know what to say..
To her..
I gathered bamboo and made them sticks..
Pantuhog dun sa mga isdang nahuli namin..
Kinuha ko yung t-shirt ko na nilabhan nya dun sa lagoon..
Seriously..?
Hindi ko alam na nilabhan nya to..
I don’t know how to react..
Kami lang dalawa dito..
I remember one time..
Nung kami-kami lang ang nauwi dito sa Ilocos.. nagkwento bigla si lola..
“kayong mga lalaki.. kapag nagkaroon kayo ng mga nobya.. alam nyo sana kung paano sila pahalagahan.. naiintindihan nyo ba..?” sabi nya.. in a middle of a nice movie time..
Kasama kasi namin syang nanonood nun.. parang bagets din kasi.. kaso puro mga lalaki kaming barkada nya..
“hindi puro sex lang ang alam nyo.. lalo na.. dapat alam nyo din kapag nagseselos at iritable ang mga nobya nyo.. lalo na kapag may dalaw sila.. wag na wag nyong sasaktan or bibiruing paluin.. kasi magpapasa yung napalo nyo kahit dampi lang..” sabi pa nya.. wala kaming ibang nagawa kundi magtinginan nun..
Nang matapos ang movie na pinapanood namin.. binalik namin sa tv mode.. sakto namang commercial ng isang brand ng sanitary napkins..
“hai naku.. ano ba yang mga yan..? dati-rati.. pasador lang ang gamit namin.. hindi kami naggaganyan.. simpleng tela lang tapos okay na.. lalabhan na lang pagkatapos.. buti pa noon, natural.. eh ngayon..? puro na chemicals.. nakakasira pa sa kalikasan.. kada gamit tapon.. hai naku mga tao nga naman ngayon..”
At dun nga kami natawa sa sinabi ni lola..
Kada gamit daw, tapon..
Hahahaha..
Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti pag naaalala ko yun..
Natapos ko nang gumawa ng mga stick.. kinuha ko yung tshirt ko..
Gamit ang knife.. pinunit ko yung tshirt ko..
Nagawa tuloy tatlo..
Siguro naman.. ppwede na to..?
Nilapag ko yung mga yun sa iisang lugar..
Tumingala ako..
Buko..
I decided to climb..
Mangunguha muna ako ng buko..
I went back bringing the sticks, the cloth and buko..
I saw her still sitting on that log.. eating bananas..
Hindi ba sya gumalaw dun..?
“hey..” i approached her and sat beside her..
She offered me a banana..
“you okay..?” i asked..
Tumango sya.. then she put another wood onto the fire..
“here..” i said as i gave her the cloth..
Tiningnan nya lang ako..
“uhm.. i guess you can use those.. if i’m not mistaken.. pasador ang tawag dyan.. that’s what women used before sanitary napkin had been made.. hehe.. uhm.. just tela or damit then you can use it as sanitary napkin.. nabanggit ni lola dati..” i said without looking at her..
This is awkward..
And it’s actually the first time that i did this kind of thing..
“shirt mo to..” sabi nya..
I looked at her..
“don’t worry.. it’s okay..” i smiled to her..
She just looked at me..
“go..” i said to her with a smile.. “ako na muna bahala dito..”
Para syang nag-aalinlangan.. but still pinagtabuyan ko sya.. it would be better that way kesa buong araw syang hindi komportable..
LIZZIE’s POV
What kind of a guy is he..?
Sinira nya yung shirt nya para ibigay sakin dahil lang sa sitwasyon ko ngayon..?
Aixt..
Sabagay..
Mas nakakaasiwa nga naman siguro sa kanya kung makikita nyang may blood mark sa likod ko..
Hala..
Naayos ko na lahat..
As in..
Madilim na..
so i decided to go back..
Nag-iihaw na sya..
After that.. we ate..
I can feel the pain now..
And this is what i hate..
Dysmenorrhea..
Every time na lang na magkakadalaw ako..
Dysmenorrhea ang kasama..
Tsk..
After we ate.. humiga na ako.. and shut my eyes..
“you okay..?” he asked..
Tumango na lang ako.. pero masakit talaga..
“seriously..?” he asked again..
Hawak ko yung puson ko.. kasi masakit talaga..
“tell me..” he said.. he held my hand na nakahawak sa puson ko..
“masakit..” i said..
“saan..?” he asked.. parang may concern sa boses nya..
“puson..” i said..
“here..” sabi nya.. still holding my hand na nakahawak sa puson ko..
Tumango ako..
Tinanggal nya ang kamay nya and touched my forehead..
“you always have this..?” he asked..
“yeah.. dysmenorrhea..” i said..
Tumahimik sya..
Then..
“wait here.. okay..” sabi nya.. then narinig ko na lang yung mga yapak nya’ng papalayo..
I don’t know how long syang nawala.. hindi ko minulat yung mata ko.. coz it really hurts..
Then i heard him..
“hey..” he said..
Kinuha nya yung kamay ko mula sa puson ko..
Then dahan-dahang niyang tinaas yung damit ko..
I got so alarmed..
“what the hell are you doing..?!!!!” galit kong sabi.. masakit ang puson ko tapos gumaganyan sya.. hirap din akong huminga kasi masakit talaga..
Pilit kong binababa ang damit ko.. sya naman.. pilit nyang tinataas..
“be still.. okay..!” he said.. nakakatakot ang boses nya.. as in..
Hindi na ko nakaimik..
Hinayaan ko na lang sya..
I was so helpless here.. seriously..
Whatever happens..
Oh..
I’d rather die..
Seriously..
The i felt a warm wet something sa puson ko..
Dinadampi-dampi nya yun sa puson ko..
I opened my eyes a little..
“what are you doing..?” i said in a low voice..
“this can help..” he said..
It was a cloth..
“wait..” sabi nya.. then tinulungan nya kong umupo.. he sat then hiniga nya ako ulit.. ang ulo ko nakapatong sa hita nya..
Then tinuloy nya yung ginagawa nya sa puson ko..
“my mom also had dysmenorrhea once.. that was when we’re on vacation.. apparently.. it was just the two of us na naiwan dun sa vacation house.. she’s just like you.. she asked me to do a lot of things.. remedy daw to sa dysmenorrhea.. hindi matatanggal totally pero at least.. mababawasan yung sakit..” he said..
It so happen na kinuha nya yung isang cloth and binasa ng tubig and then tinapat nya sa apoy.. hanggang sa mainitan na enough..
“you sleep.. okay..?” he said..
Then he kissed me on the forehead..
