Everything is fine, malapit na rin ang finals and there are lots of things that I need to pass. I am just reading books for an assessment. Whiskey is still sleeping but I prepared breakfast for him.
Honestly, I am happy because even though he is cold, I know that I am safe with him. I'm so happy to help this guy. Sobra akong nag-effort to make him realize the essence of life kasi ayoko na subukan niya ulit ang mag-suicide.
Nagulat ako dahil biglang bumukas ang shower. H-Hey! What happened?
I looked at my bed and he is not in there. Grabe, parang ninja talaga kumilos itong si Mr. Suplado. You can't predict his moves.
I heard a knock from the door...
"Wine! Are you there?"
I know that voice! It's my bestfriend, Cider! I smiled and then I opened the door. He is also smiling at me.
"What brought you here? Sobrang aga pa hahahah," I said.
He is just smiling at me. Pinakita niya sa akin ang dala niyang mga libro. Oh, I know what he needs.
"Come inside..."
I really know him. Madalas talaga nandito si Cider sa apartment ko kapag malapit na ang finals kasi nagpapatulong siya.
"Nag-breakfast ka na ba?"
"Yeah! Don't worry about me. I just really need your help," he said.
He is just looking around my apartment. Pansin ko na kumunot ang noo niya. Ok, I already know what he's thinking.
"Bakit ang mahal ng appliances and gadgets dito sa apartment mo? Wala ka namang ganyan dati ah! I also noticed a very luxurious sports car outside," he said.
I just sigh...
"It's not mine. Whiskey bought all of those things and don't ask me where he got it. I know nothing," I just said.
Kumunot na lang ang noo niya...
"I think, he's crazy rich!" He said.
Yeah... Maybe? I'm not really sure about him. Wala naman talaga akong kaalam-alam kay Whiskey. He is very mysterious.
"Don't mind me asking, Wine. What's his surname?" Cider asked.
Nabigla tuloy ako. I don't even know his surname. Oh, there are lots of things that I don't really know about him. It's ok, I will never force him. Alam ko naman na siya mismo ang makikipag-interact someday.
"Who are you?"
Parehas kaming nanginig ni Cider dahil sa boses ni Whiskey. I looked at him and he's just wearing a towel!
Napaiwas tuloy ako ng tingin. Lagi na lang siyang ganyan! Urrrghhh! Pwede naman magbihis na sa banyo ah!
"I'm Cider, Wine's bestfriend..."
He looked at my bestfriend from head to foot. Oh Whiskey, you are always like that. Kinabahan tuloy si Cider.
"What are you doing here?" He asked with his frightful look.
"Hmmm... I just need Wine's help. Nahihirapan kasi ako sa studies."
Whiskey is just looking at him. Grabe, nakakatakot talaga siya tumitig. Mukhang hindi niya gusto si Cider. Maybe, I need to break the silence.
"Ganito talaga kami kapag malapit na ang finals. We are helping each other. Minsan, dito rin natutulog si Cider," sabi ko na lang.
I'm in shock because he glared at me!
"He is sleeping here?" He asked.
Nagkatitigan na lang tuloy kami ni Cider. Halatang kinakabahan din siya kay Whiskey.
"Hmmm... Yeah, sometimes," alanganin 'kong sagot.
He is just looking at us...
What is he thinking? Bakit kailangan pa niya itanong kung natutulog ba ang bestfriend ko minsan dito? There's nothing wrong with that, right?
"Are you really sure that he's your bestfriend?" He asked again.
"Yeah! Of course!"
Kumunot ang noo ni Whiskey. It looks like he's pissed off. Bakit ganito?
"If he is really your bestfriend, then why did he let those people to bully you?" He asked is a terryfying tone.
Nabigla tuloy ako. H-Hindi pa rin niya 'yun nakakalimutan? Sabi ko na nga, magagalit si Whiskey kaya ayoko muna papuntahin dito sa Cider.
"Actually, he helped me! Kung hindi dumating si Cider, mas malala pa ang nangyari sa akin," I said.
"Yeah! Medyo nahuli lang ako ng dating but if I was there on time, they will never do that to him," Cider said.
"If I was there, it will never happen," Whiskey said.
I can really feel the tension! Grabe talaga itong si Whiskey, ayaw magpatawad. I should blow the fire out of this room.
"Ok na, Whiskey. Please, forget everything. Ayos na ang lahat at isa pa, wala ka naman nung nangyari 'yun. I don't want you to get involved," I said.
He smirked...
"You never know what I did," he whispered in the air.
"What did you say?" I asked.
"I said, I don't trust that guy," he said while looking at Cider.
Napasampal na lang ako sa mukha ko. I think he is just overacting. Tsaka ko lang napansin na nagwawala na naman ang abs niya dahil tuwalya lang ang suot niya.
"Please... Wear something first," I said.
Ang sama pa rin ng titig niya kay Cider pero nagbihis na siya.
Nagpatuloy na lang kami ni Cider sa pagrereview. Marami nga siyang hindi pa masyadong maintindihan.
"Hmmm... Is he always like that?" Cider asked me.
"Yeah... But he is a good person."
Cider smirked like he is thinking of a malicious thing. I don't like it.
"Ganyan ba talaga kayo palagi?" Tanong na naman niya.
"Huh? I don't get you," I said.
He moved closer to me...
"He is just wearing towel after bath. You can see those abs everyday. Tapos magbibihis siya sa harapan mo."
"Hey! I'm not looking at him kapag magbibihis siya! Never!" I said.
Cider is just looking at me like he's not convinced! Arrrggghhh I hate it!
"Please stop what you are thinking!"
He laughed a little...
"I think he is just overprotective. It's obvious that he care for you," he said.
Napahinto tuloy ako dahil sa sinabi ni Cider. Does he, really care about me?
Napatingin tuloy ako kay Whiskey at nagulat ako dahil ang sama pala ng titig niya sa aming dalawa ni Cider.
"Hmmm... Whiskey, I prepared breakfast for you. Just eat it, ok?"
Kumain na siya at masama pa rin ang titig niya sa amin ni Cider. This guy is so terrifying! He is always like that.
Nagreview na lang kaming dalawa ni Cider. Si Whiskey naman, 'di ko alam kung nakatitig pa rin ng masama sa amin. Jusko, ayoko muna siyang tignan.
So far, everything is fine. I think, we are going to pass the exams. We are good to go.
Natawa ako dahil tumunog bigla ang tiyan ni Cider. I think he's hungry.
"Akala ko ba, nag-breakfast ka?" Natatawa 'kong tanong.
"Yeah, lagi naman akong gutom ahahahah."
"Do you really need to laugh while reviewing? How will you pass the exams if you're like that?"
Oh, 'yan na naman si Whiskey. Sobrang suplado niya talaga palagi.
"It's lunch time. Cook your kangkong recipe for me," Whiskey said.
Suplado talaga nito! Nagpapaluto lang naman ng kangkong hahahahah. Sure ako na favorite niya talaga 'yun.
Nagluto na lang ako. Napatingin ako sa kanilang dalawa. Nakaupo lang sila sa sofa pero sa magkabilang-dulo. Grabe, mukhang ayaw talaga ni Whiskey kay Cider hahahah.
Kung nakakamatay lang ang tingin, kanina pa kami deads ni Cider hahahah. Whiskey is so terrifying.
"Table is ready!" I said.
Umupo na silang dalawa. Nilagyan ko na ng pagkain ang plato ni Whiskey. Gusto niya kasi na pinagsisilbihan siya hahahah.
Lalagyan ko na rin sana ng pagkain ang plato ni Cider pero...
"May kamay naman 'yan! Let him get his own food," Whiskey said.
I saw Cider who is holding back his laughter. I know what he's thinking.
Whiskey is still giving his frightful look while eating. Ayaw talaga magpaawat ng lalakeng ito.
I find him cute hahahah. Ang cute kasi alam ko na nasasarapan siya sa pagkain pero ang sama niya pa rin tumitig kay Cider hahahahah.
"Hmmm... Wine, malapit na 'yung party sa school. Punta tayo ha?" Sabi ni Cider.
"Huh? I don't want to. Wala naman akong masyadong ka-close doon and besides, I know that you already have a date," I said.
"Sige na, please... You need time to unwind. Sasamahan pa rin naman kita. I'll dance with you."
Nagulat kami dahil biglang nabulunan si Whiskey. Ubo siya ng ubo ng malakas at hindi na makahinga. Nagmadali tuloy ako na painumin siya.
"H-Hey! Are you alright? What happened to you?" I asked.
Hinihimas ko na lang ang likod niya. I'm so worried about him!
"Ok ka na ba? Bakit ba kasi nabilaukan ka?" I asked worriedly.
He glared at me again...
"Just, don't flirt in front of me!"
Napanganga tuloy ako. Nagkatitigan na lang kaming dalawa ni Cider.
It looks like there is a huge question mark that appeared out of our head. We are not flirting! Bakit ganun ang iniisip ni Whiskey?
Minsan talaga, ang weird nitong si Whiskey. He is mad because of the things that I don't know.
After our lunch, Cider decided to go back on his house. Hindi na kasi niya matiis si Whiskey hahahah lagi siyang tinititigan ng masama. Natatakot na rin siguro hahahah.
"Hey, we need to talk," Whiskey said.
I just look at him. I don't have an idea what he is thinking. This guy is so weird today.
"About what?" I asked.
"I don't trust your so-called bestfriend."
I sigh...
I looked at him seriously...
"It's because you don't trust anyone..."
Nabigla siya sa sinabi ko. I know that he felt what I'm trying to say. Somehow, I understand him.
"We're not flirting, ok? I don't know where the heck did you get that idea," I said.
"But you are so close to him while reading books! You laugh with him! You are very sweet! I think you like that guy!" He said.
Kumunot na lang ang noo ko...
"It's because he's my friend. You know that I am sweet towards the people that I care about," I said.
"But I am your friend too!"
Nagulat ako dahil sa sigaw niya. He is not mad. What do you call this thing? Alam ko na kung anong ibig niyang sabihin.
I smiled...
"If you will only let me in, I will also be like that to you. Honestly, I'd love to do that but you keep pushing me away," I said.
Nabigla na naman siya...
Natahimik bigla ang paligid dahil sa sinabi ko. Siguro gusto lang din ni Whiskey na nakikita akong tumatawa at masaya kapag nandiyan siya.
Paano ko naman kasi gagawin 'yun? Lagi siyang cold sa akin.
He looked at me...
"I think you like him," he said.
"Wait! No! Where did you get that idea? I don't like him! He is just my friend!" I said.
He smirked...
"Good... Mukha namang supot 'yun," he said while laughing a little.
"H-Hey! You're so mean to him! Gwapo naman si Cider ah! Hindi naman siya mukhang ganun!" Sabi ko pero natatawa rin ako.
"So, gwapo na siya para sa'yo?" Seryoso niyang tanong.
"Yeah," I said.
He moved closer to me...
He is just looking at my eyes. I realized na, ang ganda pala ng mga mata niya kahit masamang tumitig. Para bang napakadami ng kaya niyang sabihin gamit lang ang mga mata niya.
"Hmmm... If he's handsome for you, how about me?"
Napalunok na lang ako...
"Aaahhh hmmmm... Yeah, you are handsome too," I said.
He smirked...
Lalo siyang lumapit sa akin kaya napaatras na ako. What is he doing?
"Am I more handsome than him?"
I just nodded...
He smirked again... I felt that he is holding my chin.
"Do you like me?"
Nanlaki bigla ang mga mata ko dahil sa tanong niya. H-Hindi ko alam!
"N-No! I just treat you as my friend!"
"Really?" He asked again.
"Yeah! Please stop it! I'm not comfortable with what you are doing," I said seriously.
Bumitaw na siya sa akin...
"I don't like him moving around you. Ayoko doon sa kaibigan mo. Mukha namang juts 'yun eh," sabi niya.
"Hey! Grabe ka talaga kay Cider! Paano mo naman nasabi na juts? Baka naman ikaw 'yun hahahaah," sabi ko sabay tawa ng malakas.
I'm just laughing really hard. Nabigla ako dahil masama na naman pala ang titig niya sa akin. Kinabahan tuloy ako bigla. Is he mad at me?
After a second, he smirked...
Bigla niyang tinakpan ang mga mata ko gamit ang kamay niya.
Nabigla ako dahil ramdam ko na kinuha niya ang isa 'kong kamay at ramdam ko na ipinasok niya 'yun sa shorts niya.
May nahawakan tuloy ako bigla na matigas at sobrang laking bagay.
He removed his hand on my eyes and I saw everything. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa sitwasyon namin. Nataranta ako bigla sa sobrang hiya.
I-I held the t-thing between his legs!
Napatakip ako bigla sa mukha ko dahil sa sobrang hiya. I-It's so huge!
"Ano? Juts pala ah!" I heard him said while laughing.
I know that my face is burning because of what happened. Hiyang-hiya talaga ako sa sarili ko.
I felt his breath on my ear...
"I'm sorry... I just want to tease you. I'm not really on a good mood earlier. You know what? You're cute as hell."
