Chapter 17

May Nagwala

Bumaba ako ng lamesa at tumuwad para kuhanin ang aking mga damit na nakakalat sa buong kuwarto. Paika-ika pa akong naglakad papunta sa aking isa pang sapatos dahil natanggal ito nang biniglaang hila ni Andre ang aking binti kanina. I grabbed my dress and immediately put it back on. Tumingin ako sa kabilang gawi ng kuwarto at nadatnan si Andre na binubutones ang kaniyang white dress shirt.

Natawa na lamang ako nang mapansin ang mga gusot sa kaniyang damit. It probably got crumpled when I threw it away as well as when we were hurrying to take it off that we didn't even bother if we crumple it. Thankfully, none of our clothes got wet from the spilled alcohol on the floor. I grabbed my bag and looked for the small mirror I took with me that was placed inside my bag. Kinuha ko iyon at tinignan ang aking itsura sa maliit na salamin.

My jaw dropped open when I saw my lipstick smudged all over my face. Halos wala na nga akong makitang lipstick na nasa aking labi. Buradong-burado na ito at ang iba ay nagkalat sa aking pisngi. I also noticed that my lips were so swollen from what we just did earlier.

I raised my hand a little that was holding the mirror and looked at my hair. "Andre, you ruined my hair," reklamo ko rito sabay tingin sa kaniyang gawi. I gave him a death glare as I shot daggers through my eyes.

He met my gaze as he immediately diverted his eyes to look at my hair. "Ha? Ayos naman 'ah?" painosente nitong tanong sabay naglakad palapit sa akin.

I rolled my eyes at him as I let out a frustrated groan. "No, it's not. Mahahalata tayo nito kapag bumalik tayo sa event," reklamo ko pa at muling tinignan ang aking buhok sa maliit na salamin. "I already told you that hands off my hai," masungit ko pang dagdag.

"I'm sorry." Ang kaniyang kamay na kanina'y ikinakabit pabalik ang mga butones ng kaniyang damit ay ngayon nakataas na sa taas ng aking ulo. He lightly combed my hair with his fingers as he tried to fix it on his own. Patuloy ko lamang itong tinitigan habang nakatuon ang kaniyang buong atensyon sa aking buhok.

His eyes were so focused on fixing my hair with his long, rough fingers. Kung kanina ay marahan niya itong inaayos, ngayon ay dalawang kamay na ang gamit niya para mas mapadali ang pag-aayos dito. I felt his fingers slide through the top of my ear as he placed my hair behind it.

Without knowing it, I slowly felt the side of my lips curved upwards. Hindi ko tinanggal ang aking tingin sa kaniya habang unti-unti nang kumukunot ang kaniyang noo. "Ayaw maayos eh," sabi nito at dismayadong ibinaba ang kaniyang kamay.

I let out a laugh as I looked back onto the mirror. I let out a sigh when I saw my hair brushed backwards. Muli 'kong binalik ang aking tingin sa kaniya at pinagtaasan ito ng kilay. "See? How am I going to fix this? Wala na akong hair mousse na dala," sagot ko.

The bag that I bought was just a small purse. Big enough to only fit my phone, lipstick, money, and the small mirror.

Mas lalong kumunot ang kaniyang noo nang marinig ang aking sinabi. "Hair mousse? Para saan iyon?" nagtataka nitong tanong.

"It's to style the hair easier. It makes it stay in place," sagot ko.

"You mean gel?" tanong nito.

Agad akong umiling at umalis sa kaniyang tabi. I walked over to the chair where my bag was placed and grabbed my nude lipstick. I focused on my lips as I reapplied my lipstick. "No."

"I think I have gel in my desk. Do you want to use it, to at least fix your hair a little bit?" tanong nito.

Tatawa na sana ako sa kaniyang suhestyon nang mapagtatuan na puwede ko nga itong magamit sa aking buhok. As long as it makes my hair stay on its place for just a few more hours, then I can probably try it. I gave him a small smile as I subtly nodded. "Sure. Will that make my hair hard for a few hours?" tanong ko rito.
