Phase 24
Save Me
"What is it, Love?" walang ganang tanong ko nang sagutin ko ang tawag ni Love.
"Do you know why I can't get over you?" tanong nito. He's drunk. I just sighed and did not answer.
"It's because you keep on calling me that. Calling me Love just sounds so sweet." mahinang sabi nito.
"What the.. But that's your name, Consigliere" kunot noong sabi ko.
"No.. Call me Love again, please" he whispered, followed by his sobs.
"No. You're drunk, Consigliere."
"I still want you, Ace. I still do" iyak niya.
Pinutol ko na ang tawag at agad na tinawagan si Zemn.
"Loverous called. He's fucking drunk." matigas kong sabi.
"He's always drunk. I haven't seen him after you left. Why don't you try to make him go home?"
"Why me?" reklamo ko.
"Because you're the only one who can make him. " sagot nito at saka natahimik kami parehas.
"Hoy walangya! Handa na ang pagkain!" rinig kong sigaw ni Alexia.
Pinutol ko na rin ang tawag at tinawagan naman si Love.
"Yes, love?" mahinang tanong nito nang sinagot ang tawag ko.
"Go the fuck home, Consigliere. What if you bump into some enemies, huh? What will you do since you're drunk?" malamig kong sabi.
"Are you worried, love?" bulong pa niya.
"That's not my name"
"I wanna call you love so bad. Please let me call you love." pagmamakaawa niya. Napabuntong hininga ako.
"Go home." utos ko.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" biglang tanong niya.
"No." agad kong sagot.
"Then I'm not going home." lasing niyang sabi at narinig kong umorder pa ulit siya.
"Stop acting like that and go home, Consigliere." malamig kong sabi at pinatay ang tawag.
Lumabas ako para magpahangin. Nakita ko sa malayo si Tiger na nakaupo sa buhangin. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at umupo sa tabi niya.
"Mama.. Papa" bulong ko sa hangin. "I badly want to see you. I don't know if I can still survive another year without you" bulong ko at tumingala.
"I always pray for two things, Tiger." sabi ko at bumaling ky Tiger na nakikinig na sa akin habang tabingi ang ulo.
"To see my Mama and Papa if they are still alive. Second, to die if they are both dead" pagpapatuloy ko.
Kinuha ko ang stick na nakita ko sa gilid at nagsulat sa buhangin.
