Wakas

"Skiel kanina ka pa namin hinintay! That fucking birthday boy already started the booze , di na makahintay e weak naman ang tolerance ng gago"

Nakangising mukha ni Hancer ang sumalubong sa akin. Inakbayan niya agad ako at  basta na lang sinama paakyat sa rooftop ng bahay nila Lyze.

Lumingon ako sa likod at at tinanguan ko ang kasama ko na sumunod sa amin.

Walang tigil sa pagsasalita si Hancer kaya siguro hindi niya napansin na may kasama ako. I was silent but it didn't bother him. Well, he didn't care if someone listens to him. Puro lang naman reklamo ang narinig ko sa kaniya at kung gaano daw kasayang na hindi ko naabutan ang mga babaeng classmates ni Lyze.

"You know Lynette?" he asked. My forehead creased, her name ring a bells but I don't think I know her personally. I'm not even sure if we met already. "She's here. Kakaalis niya lang kasama sina Penny at Reccie. Grabe! Sobrang puti dude. Sayang at nagkasalisi kayo. Ikaw pa naman ang type niya, she asked for your number but Amira was there kaya di nabinigay ni Dextrin. Sayang  talaga."

Kumunot ang noo ko.

Amira was already there? Sino kasama niyang pumunta dito? I told her to wait for me because I'll fetch her. Nauna na pala siya, bakit di niya sinabi?

Sinulyapan ko ang cellphone ko. No text from her.

"Ang hirap pa naman nilang hagilapin. Madalas kasi sa Maynila sila." he continued."Sayang, chance na sana yon."

Well, I'm not dissapointed like him. I don't care about those girls. Girls will crawl in my arms without me putting efforts, and if I want to... I could make a collection but woman are not my thing. Yeah, I have flings when I was still in LA but I lost interest in flirting when I met Amira.

I knew her since I was little. Anak siya ng tauhan ni Daddy, her parents are working for Dad and sometimes her mother brought her at work kasama iyong kapatid niyang babae rin. But I don't know what happened to her sister dahil pagkabalik ko after almost five years in L.A ay nabalitaan ko na lang na namatay pala ang ate niya. I convince my mom na dito na ko mag college. I somehow form a group of friends here.

I don't like Amira back then and I don't know when did I started to like her. All I know is I started to get irrited everytime I see her walking on school and those assholes are gawking and talking about how beautiful she is.

"I like you." deritsong sabi ko sa kaniya.

Umawang ang bibig niya at namula ang pisngi. I bite my lower lip to suppress a smile.

Damn. She's cute.

"I'm sorry. I know that my family works for you pero parang hindi naman tama na paglaruan mo ang feelings ko ng ganito."

Inirapan niya ko at basta na lang tinalikuran. Narinig ko ang tawa ni Hancer sa Likod. Fuck! I want to punch someones face.

So this is how it feels na mabasted. Masakit sa ego pero gusto ko talaga siya kaya hindi ko siya tinigilan hanggat hindi niya ko sinasagot. And luckily, or maybe because she was annoyed that's why she let me court her. Hindi ko man napa-oo pero masaya na ko na pinayagan niya akong ligawan siya. Ladies here in Philippines are still into relationship traditions, well, I wasn't turn off of that idea and I'll wait till she loves me even if it takes me years.

"Sino kasama ni Amira? Kanina pa ba sila?" Tanong ko.

Lumiko kami at nakita ko na ang mga bisita ni Lyze. Ilan at mga schoolmate at bumati sa akin. I don't want to be rude so I just nod my head. My Dad is a politician that's why kahit minsan lang ako umuwi dito ay kilala parin ako ng mga tao.
