#WUM13

It was an amazing number with Jacques but I didn't feel too well because I know I had flats earlier, it wasn't just obvious because Jacques was covering and guiding me.

I was irritated for an uncertain reason but while thinking about it after the performance, I realized it was because of Epicenter.

It was shallow, I know but that was it.

I want to deny it even to myself because it's not fair.

Wala naman kasi silang ginagawang masama o nakakainis habang nagpe-perform kami ni Jacques pero naasiwa ako dahil sa pagtawa-tawa nila Hesperus at Ajax. Pakiramdam ko pinagtatawanan nila iyong set namin!

I threw my cigarette in the dumpster and walked into the door, sa pasilyo ay narinig ko ang pamilyar na boses at pagtawa ni Ajax malapit sa men's restroom.

"Gago, wala 'yon!" it was Ajax, laughing. "Hatid mo na lang ako mamaya sa kanto namin."

"Huh? Don't you love walking and riding a jeep now?"

Ajax laughed huskily. "Not in the mood tonight, inaantok na ako. Tapusin ko lang gig, uuwi na rin ako."

Kumunot ang noo ko. Inaantok na siya? Ibig sabihin pagtapos ng set nila uuwi na rin siya? Malamang ay sasabay na naman siya sa akin.

May pagdududa ako roon, mukha siyang iritado kanina.

"Let's just date after the gig!" the familiar deep voice while chuckling said.

"Libre mo?"

"Sure, let's overnight at hideout!"

"Sige na nga, aircon naman doon at mainit sa bahay," sang-ayon ni Ajax.

The other chuckle resounded from a deep voice.

"Alright!"

Nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalakad hanggang sa makita ko sila sa dulo ng pasilyo at nagtatawanan, nakahalukipkip si Ajax habang nakatingin kay Hesperus na may kinukwento.

As soon as I went out, I met Ajax's eyes who was busy listening-I pretended neutral even when my chest tightened at the sight of his gloomy aura than usual as he avoided my gaze.

I was a bit awed; my brow arched, I couldn't keep walking faster while looking at him with Hesperus. I didn't see this coming. What did I do, though? Is he mad? Why didn't he smile and say hi or something like complimenting my performance? Did I do something wrong? This is unusual.

Or...

Ah. I nodded inwardly. He's probably avoiding me because he's with a friend.

Saglit na nanliit ang mga mata ko pero hindi na siya nagtapon ng atensyon muli. Nakuha niya pang makipagtawanan kay Hesperus at sabay silang tumungo sa pasilyo na pinanggalingan ko habang nag-uusap tungkol sa pagtambay sa hideout.

I exhaled and shrugged. Bumalik ako sa lamesa ng mga kaibigan, mas lalong nawala sa mood. I thought smoking would make me feel at least better but it didn't work.

What the hell is his problem?

"Whoa!" reaksyon ni L nang padabog kong kunin ang baso ng kanyang beer at nilagok iyon. "Ang sarap sa eyes niyan, nakikisali ka sa amin!"

Hindi ko sila pinansin at tumingin lamang sa stage.

"Hey!" siko ni L sa akin, nakalipat na sa tabi ko. "Problema mo?"

"Nothing." There's no way I'd open to her the reason of my irritation.

"Hera ba?"

Bahagyang nangunot ang noo ko.
