Chapter Thirty Two
"Housewarming Party and A Punch"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View


It actually took me days of persuading Theo para payagan niya akong papuntahin dito ang mga kaibigan ko. After we did another round tonight, he finally let out a deep sigh and told me. "I'll let them come here." He gave up.

Bigla naman akong nasayahan sa sinabi nito sa akin

"But." Hinto nito sa akin na nakangisi. "In one condition." He added. Nag-iba ang modo ko dahil sa sinabi nito. Knowing Theo, you can't persuade him that easily, if he gives up may kapalit.

"Ano 'yun?"

"You stop talking with Eric."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well that's fair enough." Ani ko sa kaniya at inayos ang sariling natulog. He leaned in closer to me para halikan ako sa leeg pababa naman sa likod ko.

"You're not even complaining about it?" Tanong niya sa akin.

"Bakit? Ano bang gusto mo, magreklamo ako sa'yo kasi ayaw mong kausapin ko si Eric?" I asked him. Umiling lamang ito sa akin at kinagat ako sa leeg. "Theo naman." I pouted at him. "You know I don't like Eric right?"

He just closed his eyes then nodded at me. "Good. I hope you bear that in mind."

...

I was happy to tell Ringo and the rest about the news. Agad naman silang pumunta sa bahay pagkasunod na araw. Ringo, Eric, Dylan and Cedric brought some gifts meanwhile Romeo didn't. I know he doesn't like me that much, o ganito lang talaga ang ugali ni Romeo.

But I'm glad he showed up though!

Nagpalinga-linga sila sa loob ng bahay at tiningnan ang laman nito. They even brought some snacks with them para kainin ngayong gabi sa bahay.

"Nasaan si Theo?" Tanong bigla ni Cedric sa akin.

That guy hid inside his room. He doesn't mingle with people he doesn't know. But today, I'm going to push him to talk to them. Sila-sila lang naman ah? Ba't nahihiya pa siyang makisalamuha sa kanila?

Naupo sina Romeo, Eric at Dylan sa sala at si Cedric naman at Ringo ay naghanda ng pagkain. "Just cook whatever you want diyan." Ani ko sa kanila. "Hahanapin ko lang si Theo, nagmumokmok kasi sa kwarto niya." I rolled my eyes atsaka naglakad na patungo sa kwarto nito.

I knocked on his door. "Hey." Ani ko rito nang pinagbuksan na niya ako. "Ayaw mo bang makilala sila?"

He squinted his eyes on me. "I already know them." And he leaned in to the wall at pinulupot ang kaniyang mga kamay.

"It won't hurt to talk to them Theo." Banta ko sa kaniya.

"Just enjoy the party. I'm fine being here." Rinig ko ang pagtatampo sa boses nito. Para 'tong bata kaya pinasok ko ang sarili ko sa loob ng kwarto nito.

"Why are you so introvert?" I yelled out of frustration  at naupo sa higaan nito.

"I just don't like talking to people that will just leave me in the end."

"Like Eric?" I added. He just scoffed at me.

"Bakit ano ba ang problema niyo ni Eric? Care to share?" Isinandal ko ang ulo ko sa kamay ko habang nakatingin lang sa kaniya na nakatayo sa harap ko.

"Eric is very boring."

"'Yon lang?"

"And I hate him."

The way Theo acts, para siyang isang bata na bagong tuli lang at kakapasok lang sa school after weeks of staying at home dahil pinapagaling pa nito ang kaniyang sugat. Kasi naman nakalagay ang mga kamay nito sa likod niya at nakatingin lang sa ibang direksyon 'yon bang akala mo first time niya sa school. Tapos iniiwasan pa niya na tumama ang mga mata namin. "Theo." Panimula ko sa kaniya.

Kunot noo lang na tumingin ito sa akin. "Dani, just enjoy the party." Utos nito sa akin.

"How can I enjoy the party kung wala ka?" I retorted.

"Andun naman mga friends mo ah? You can have fun with them."

"Iba kaya kung andiyan ka din." Tumayo ako atsaka hihilahin na sana siya palabas pero ang tigas ng katawan nito, at ayaw niyang magpahila.

"Just go."

"Theo! Isa." I yelled at him. "I'm going to talk to Eric if you won't show up" banta ko sa kaniya.

Well it made him quite furious, "Is he there?" I nodded and as quick as flash could, he stormed himself outside the room atsaka na ako hinila palabas.

Si Eric lang naman pala ang katapat nito eh.

'Di ko maiwasang mapangisi habang hinihila nito ako papunta ng sala.

Everyone was having fun and talking to each other nang maka-abot kami sa sala. Pero nang dumating si Theo at naupo sa sofa sa harap nila, they turned silent.

And looked at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Theo." I reprimanded.

Naupo naman sa tabi nito si Eric. "Hoy, 'tol long time no see ah!"

"Umalis ka nga sa harap ko Eric." Bulyaw nito kay Eric na tumawa naman. "Just have fun there." Utos naman nito, pero ang tigas ng ulo ni Eric atsaka pa ito hinila at pinaupo katabi sina Dylan at Romeo.

Pinakilala naman ni Eric ang dalawa kay Theo — and it was awkward. "Ako na bahala kay Theo dito Dan, just help Ced and Ringo dun." Nginuso naman nito ang dalawa na abala sa paghahanap ng kung ano ang pwedeng lutuin. Tumango lang ako kay Eric.

"Tey, I'll be here lang sa kusina ha? Behave." Natatawa kong inutos sa kaniya. Theo was about to follow me too pero pinigilan ito ni Eric at inalok ng isang bote ng alak.

I squinted my eyes at Theo and he had no choice but to go back and sit with Eric. Eric was very persistent to make him drink the beer, and eventually he made him drink it.

Dumiretso na ako sa kusina at tinulungan sina Ringo at Cedric sa pagluluto.

It took us an hour and a half to prepare and cook some finger foods para kainin sa living room. Theo was drinking silently while watching soccer with the boys, sumama naman si Cedric at naupo sa kanila habang dala-dala ang pagkaing linuto namin ni Ringo.

Naupo lang kami ni Ringo sa dining area at tiningnan silang nag-eenjoy sa panunuod. Meanwhile my attention was only focused at Theo.

"Ba't ang tahimik ni Theo?" Biglang tanong sa akin ni Ringo, binaling ko naman ang atensyon sa kaniya. He was busy drinking an orange juice which we also both prepared.

"He's been like that noon pa. I don't even know kung bakit. I want him to at least mingle with other circles pero ayaw niya."

"Wala ring gusto kumausap sa kaniya pwera na kay Eric." Dagdag ko pa habang tinitingnan si Eric na inaalok si Theo ng pagkain, na tinatanggihan naman nito.

"Sabi nila they were once friends daw." Ani Ringo. "I don't know the full story, kasi alam ko si Eric lang naman at Dylan may alam nun. Kami kasi ni Cedric at ni Romeo 'di naman kami mahilig magtanong. Have you tried asking Eric about it?"

"He doesn't want me to know about it." I just shrugged my shoulders off.

"Baka importante kaya ayaw nilang malaman mo?" Biglang sambit ni Ringo sa akin na ikinaisip ko naman bigla. "Or they just don't want to tell you kasi baka ayaw nila?"

"Eric told me its better kung nanggaling kay Theo eh."

Well it's about Theo's past he was referring about. Pero yung rason kung bakit 'di na sila magkaibigan at 'di na si Theo nakikipag-kaibigan pa? I think it's a different story naman.

"Na try mo na siyang tanungin?" Inubos ni Ringo ang juice.

Tumango lang ako.

"Hala, baka ayaw niya lang talaga na mainvolve ka sa buhay niya? Not to sound offensive ha, pero I mean maybe kasi it's his past at ayaw niya lang talaga na mag-alala ka."

Nalungkot naman ako sa sinabi ni Ringo sa akin. "Alam ko naman na Theo is a very reserved person." Malungkot kong sinabi. Binaling ko ang atensyon ko mula sa sahig papunta sa likod nitong nakahiga lang sa sofa habang lagok ang isang bote ng beer. "Sandali lang ha." I excused myself atsaka tumayo papunta kay Theo.

Tiningnan ko naman siya, he was already drunk kaya pinagpasyahan ko munang itayo na siya at ihiga sa kaniyang kwarto. Eric offered help at 'di na ako nagdalawang isip pa na hayaan siyang tulungan ako kahit na alam kong 'di ako pwedeng makipagusap sa kaniya.

Theo was still awake but he was pretty drunk when we reached his room. Suddenly he cupped both my cheeks and pressed his forehead to mine atsaka ko hinalikan.

Right in front of Eric.

"Theo." Ani ko rito, trying to stop him dahil nasa harap kami ni Eric. Nakatayo parin ito pero inaalayan parin namin ni Eric.

"Damn Dani, you're only mine. Mine." He reiterated, as he kissed me back again. This time dinidiin niya ang paghalik sa akin.

"See that Eric? Don't you try and steal my Dan-dan away from me you motherf—" banta nito kay Eric. Napapa-iling na lamang si Eric sa kaniya habang tintulungan namin siyang makatayo ulit.

Paika-ika kasi ito. He shrugged Eric's hand off atsaka pinulupot ang kaniyang kamay sa bewang ko. "Dan..." he murmured. "I love you."

"Oo na." I gave up as I help him stand up but he pulled me closer to him again atsaka ako hinalikan ulit. "T-Theoo~" I moaned, dahil bigla nitong pinasok ang kaniyang kamay sa loob ng pants ko atsaka pinasok ng marahas ang kaniyang daliri sa loob ko.

F-uck. First time ko na makitang lasing si Theo, and he acts so aggressive pala kapag lasing siya.

Suddenly Eric stopped him, hinawakan siya ni Eric sa braso pero bigla itong sinuntok ni Theo sa kaniyang mukha dahilan para matumba si Eric sa sahig. "THEO!" I yelled at him.
