My auntie is my lover

Chapter 7

Dahil nairita ako sa wallpaper ni Tita, pinalitan ko ito ng larawan ni Jungkook na kuha ko mula sa Facebook. Binigyan ko rin ng mensahe si Ivy na hindi ako makakasama dahil sa isang emergency. Sinabi ko sa kanila na dalhin na ang aking bag at pumunta sa opisina ni Tita para kunin ang Jollibee doon, sapagkat sayang lang kung masisira lang ito.

Agad kong ibinalik ang laptop ni Tita pagkatapos kong makipag-chat sa kanila. Kaya't nagpasya akong manood na lang ng TV dahil may Netflix si Tita. Baka panoorin ko na lang ang "The Worst Witch" dahil hindi ko pa natatapos ang episode 5 ng season 2. Uuwi na lang ako mamaya paggising ni Tita.

Habang nanonood ako, hindi ko maiwasang mag-isip tungkol sa lalaki sa wallpaper ni Tita. Baka kaibigan lang niya ito, pero bakit sila magkadikit at magkayakap? Tumayo ako at pumunta sa kusina upang tingnan kung may maiinom. Nakita ko ang ilang alak sa ref at nagpasya akong uminom para mawala ang aking pag-ooverthink.

Balak ko pa sanang kumuha ng baso, ngunit nagpasya akong huwag na lamang. Tutunggain ko na lamang ito.

I also grabbed some snacks from Auntie's food containers it seemed like she was running a food stall with the amount of food she had. Once I got what I needed, I went to the sofa to start my plan of getting drunk.

Gusto ko lang talaga magpapansin sa kanya joke lang basta trip ko lang to kasalanan ni tita to.

I've only had two sips, but I already feel dizzy, like I'm losing myself.

Of course, even though I'm already feeling woozy, I'll still have a drink. I don't know why I'm laughing I remembered Mommy's joke again, and I burst out laughing. I don't know anymore it's like I'm losing my grip. I keep going to the bathroom too I feel like I just want to lie down and catch some Z's.

Papikit pikit  na ang mga mata ko, ramdam ko na lamang ang ingay na parang may bumababa sa hagdanan. Malamang si Tita iyon, siya lang naman ang kasama ko dito.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to sleep."

"You're drinking, damn. Does your mom know about this?" She angrily shouted at me.

Umupo ako kahit na hinde na kaya ng mga mata ko. "Do you want to drink?"

"No, you're just making my head ache. Clean that up."

"I'm not done yet, miss. galit."

"WHAT?"

"Sabe ko po hinde pa ako tapos miss.galit"

While stumbling, I stood up, unsure of what I was doing. All I knew was that I wanted to go home. "I'm going home."

"What's going home? What if your mom sees you like that, what are you thinking, why did you drink?"

"Because I'm jealous, I don't know."

"Jealous of what?"

"Of your boyfriend."

As we locked eyes, I felt tears welling up in my eyes. There she goes again, why does she always turn her back on me whenever I talk to her?

"That's where you excel, turning your back on me whenever I talk to you and ask you questions." Inis kong sinabe sa kanya.

She didn't pay attention to what I said she just went straight upstairs, which irritated me even more.

Habang pinagmamasdan ko siya habang paakyat ng hagdan, nagpasya akong umuwi na lamang kahit na ako'y nahihilo.

Naglakad na ako patungo sa kaniyang pintuan, hindi na umaasang ako'y pipigilan pa niya dahil nandoon na siya sa taas.

As I was walking out the door of her condo, I suddenly heard a loud noise.
