6:
December 29 ang naging usapan namin para mag outing at uuwi sa 31. Unfortunately, sinali ni Frenz ang buong class batch namin and that would also means that Roylan’s presence will there.
Dala ko ’yong isang duffel bag ko habang ang dalawang paa ko ay tinadyak agad sa buhangin. I heard the loud noise coming from my batchmates. Out of three hundred ay parang one hundred lang naka-sali, ang iba ay hindi pinayagan at ang iba naman ay nag out of town at uuwi pa after break.
Siniko ako ni Frenz kaya napalingon agad ako sakanya, tinuro niya ang isang babae kaya napalingon ako ngayon at napaawang ang labi no’ng tinuro niya ay kasama si Enitha.
“Ganda ’no?” Frenz said.
“Yeah. . .” I said eyeing at Enitha.
“Type na type ko si Karson, sayang lang napaka demonyo mommy n’yan! Kahit lamok ayaw madapuan. . .” Frenz sneered.
Umiling agad ako. May mga batchmates ako na nagdala ng iba’t ibang pagkain at drinks kahit wala naman sa plano. Basta ang ginawa ni Frenz ay nang-aya lang at sinabi kung saan. . . walang matino na plano. I even volunteered to buy some airbed since that was most of my classmate’s request.
“Guys overnight ha! Sinabihan ko na tito ko na dito tayo matulog lahat. . .”
Everyone cheered after Maureen told those words. Inangat ko ang mga mata ko no’ng namataan na kila Maureen itong resort. We have our own resort too but it’s only for gatherings or parties, atsaka sa Batangas pa ’yon. . . I don’t think they will like to travel that far.
“And no drunk people! ’Yan ang bilin ni tito! Girls no kissing! Boys bawal bastos!” sigaw ni Maureen. Everyone cheered and joked about it that made me shrugged my head.
I disagree about drinks. I know some of us here already experienced drinking liquors but most of us are still minor. Pansin ko rin na madalas na nagdadala ng isang case na beer ay ’yon pang strict ang parents. . . I mean, it’s not my concern anymore since we all have different lives. I just wish that they would drink responsibly.
“Tahimik ni Eros oh! Bigyan na ’yan!” someone offered me a cup. I immediately stood up and waved my hands to decline. Everyone frowned and told me i’m being killjoy but I just shrugged my head.
It’s still broad daylight yet here they are already wasting their time drinking instead of having fun. Binaling ko ang atensyon ko sa nagsisigawan na sa dalampasigan. I saw Enitha laughing loudly while Roylan on the side looking at her in awe. I can picture out from here how they looked so good to each other. . . too bad, hindi ko hahayaan ’yan.
I never got the chance to tell what I feel to Enitha. Not because i’m scared of rejection. . . it’s because i’m scared that I might lose our friendship. Pero kahit nga hindi pa ako nakapag-confess ay parang unti-unting lumihis na. It slipped right in front of me without knowing. . . or maybe it hurts now seeing that she can live a life without me in the first place. While me on the other hand only had her.
Hapon na ’yon at napag-isipan namin mag grilled. As usual, I got bored looking at them having fun that’s why I volunteered. Sana nga ay hindi nalang ako sumama, hindi rin naman ako papansinin ni Enitha. I tried approaching her though but she really ignored me that I don’t even know what I did. . . ’yon ba ang hindi ko pag pansin sakanya dati?
“Eros, ako na d’yan. . . maligo kana. . .” Karson said and looked at my shyly.
Siguro ay napansin niya na ako lang itong hindi pa naka ligo. She’s wearing a new shirt right now, siguro ay tapos na siyang maligo. Mabilis niyang kinuha ang tong sa kamay ko at ngumiti agad siya sa akin na nahihiya. She’s urging me to have fun with my classmates that I immediately sighed.
