Angel
I feel tired. It was a long day. Tapos nakong mag shower at nakabihis na rin ako. I'm just wearing a loose shirt with ATENEO logo on it and a short shorts na kinalakihan ko na yata kasi ang ikli. Nasa laundry lahat ng pambahay ko and since I'm just here so ok na siguro to.
Paikot ikot lang ako sa kama ko because though I feel tired, I can't seem to sleep so I just decided to check my phone. No text/chat from Justin. I didn't receive any texts or chat message from him since hinatid niya ako kanina sa unit ko which is weird because he never forgot to at least leave me a message kahit anong pagod pa nito . But I don't wanna overthink and I'm pretty sure he has a good reason behind it. Baka sobrang pagod lang talaga ito ngayon at nakatulog na.
Nang hindi parin ako makatulog , I decided to just go to the rooftop para magpahangin. I just grabbed my hoodie to cover my t-shirt dahil tinatamad akong mag bra , at kinuha ko rin ang susi ng unit and my phone at lumabas na ng unit.
As I closed the door, I noticed a familiar figure that just got inside the elevator. Tatawagin ko sana ito dahil parang si Justin kung nakatalikod. Pero nakapasok na ito sa elevator at nakakahiya naman kong tawagin ko at hindi naman pala si Justin so nag kibit balikat nalang ako at nagpatuloy nalang sa paglakad sa hallway heading to the elevator.
As I finally reached the rooftop, I closed my eyes while I feel the cold wind brushing my face. I suddenly freaked out when I heard a noise.
Me: " Fuck! " Sabay lingon sa pinanggalingan ng tunog.
Was that a burp?
I almost died when I saw a shadow of a man. Nakakubli ito sa may sulok ng rooftop.
" Oops! excuse me! " Sabi ng pamilyar na boses.
Tiningnan ko itong mabuti then I realized It was Ken.
Me: " Dude! You almost killed me! " Sabi ko sabay hawak ko sa dibdib ko.
Ken: " Manok gusto mo? " Tanong niya na parang wala lang.
Me: " What the heck Ken! I almost died! Ano bang ginagawa mo dito?" I asked at naglakad papalapit kung nasaan ito.
Ken: " Di ba obvious? Eh di kumakain? " Sabay turo sa isang bucket ng Jollibee chicken na isang manok nalang ang laman.
Me: " I mean at this hour? Hindi kapa ba na busog sa kinain natin kanina? " Tanong ko .
Ken : " Siguro.. Wala kasing available na chicken kanina.. " Sabi niya at tiningnan ang kararating lang ng isang grupo ng mga foreigners. " Hoy ano ba yang suot mo! " Saway nito.
Napatingin ako sa suot ko. Hindi naman obvious na wala akong bra dahil makapal naman ang suot kong over-sized hoodie.
Ken: " So hindi ka nag? Seryoso ka? How could you forget to wear that? Are you out of your mind? And please.. I'm not referring to your .... Whatever! " Sabay sinipat ang pang itaas na suot ko. " Parang wala lang naman yan. "
I was unable to speak for a moment! I just couldn't believe what he just said!
Me: " Just so you know! My boobs are fantastic! Yes! Some would even say they're breathtaking! " Sigaw ko na sa kanya.
How dare him!
Ken: " Wag ka ngang maingay! Tingnan mo? They're lookin at us now. " Referring to the foreigners na ngayon ay nakatingin saamin. " Wait, allow me to revise. They're lookin at YOU now. And please! Ang tinutukoy ko eh yang suot mong shorts. Wearing a shorts as short as that is like asking for it " Sabay turo sa suot ko at hinila ako para matakpan ako nito.
Me: " Oh! You can be sweet when you want to be " Sarcastic na sagot ko sa kanya and rolled my eyes on him.
My eyes rolled so far into the back of my head I could practically see into my own seething cranium beginning to self-combust.
Ken : " Dito ka nga " Sabay hila sa kamay ko para mapa upo.
Umupo din ito sa tabi ko and put his earphones on at hindi na naman ito nag salita.
Gusto ko sana itong tanungin about Justin dahil gusto ko lang kumustahin ito but I changed my mind because wala lang naman itong matinong maisasagot kaya tumahimik nalang din ako. Pero mukhang nabasa nito ang naiisip ko dahil nagsalita ito.
Ken: " Wag mo nang e mind si Jah, Ngayon lang kasi nya nakita ulit si Chanie after two years "
Napalingon ako sa kanya because I didn't understand what he was talking about. And he said not to mind Justin. Is he referring to him acting suddenly weird? And what's the connection him acting weird sa pagdating ni Chanie? I just don't get it but parang nabasa na naman nito ang iniisip ko kaya nagpatuloy ito sa pagsasalita.
Ken : " She's his first love. " Maikling sabi nito.
I feel like a sudden punch to my gut.
Ken: " Magka kilala na sila before pa because they were school mates since High School and College. Sabay silang nag auditioned at naging trainee ng ShowBT and she became our manager . We all knew he had feelings for her. But we also knew that Chan had another dream at pampalipas lang ng oras niya ang training namin. So nang makapasa si Chanie sa board exam and became a Registered Nurse, lumipad siya ng UK kasi dun din naka basi ang parents niya na mga Nurses din. "
Me: " Ahhh... " Tanging naisagot ko.
Ken: " Jah was devastated. Pinilit ni Jah na itago yun pero alam namin. Pero matagal na naman yun. " Nagkibit balikat ito.
Me: " And now she's back... " Parang pabulong na sabi ko at tumayo na " I have to go " Maikling sabi ko at nagmamadali ng naglakad papuntang exit.
Narinig kong may parang sinabi ito pero he sound very muffled at wala akong gana para tanungin kung anong sinabi nito. I'm so weak to care. My whole body feels weak all of a sudden na para bang ang tagal kong naglakad papuntang Elevator. It seems like everything is in slow motion.
I finally reached my unit and I'm just staring blankly at my door for solid three minutes not knowing what to feel.
Then I tried to reached my key in my pocket then I realized dammit! wala pala akong bulsa! Babalik sana ako sa rooftop but parang ayaw gumalw ng mga paa ko.
" Angel! Tawag saakin ng pamilyar na boses.
When finally I had a strength to move so nilingon ko ito. It was Ken.
Ken: " Nakalimutan mo ang susi at phone mo. " Sabi nito nang makalapit saakin.
Shit nakalimutan ko rin pala nag phone ko.
Me: " Thanks " Matipid kong sagot.
Hindi ko kinuha ang susi at phone ko na nasa kamay nito at tulalang nakatitig lang sa kanya.
Ken : " Here.. "
He reached for my hand and placed the key on my palm pero nabitiwan ko ito. He bent over and picked the key on the floor at ito na ang nag unlocked ng pintuan ko. Napansin siguro nitong lutang ako kaya marahan ako nitong inalalayan papasok ng unit.
Me : " Thanks "
Matipid na tumango lang ito at lumabas na ng pintuan.
