WA 49 – Make ItWorth The Slap

"You're kidding!" I retorted. Nanatiling nakatitig ang mga mata niya sa akin. Mas lalo lang humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa braso ko dahil pinipilit kong pumiglas. "Ano ba! Bitawan mo nga ako!" Hindi siya natitinag.

Napailing siya at idiniin ako sa pader. "Sa tuwing sinusubukan kong hawakan ka, lagi ka na lang nanlalaban. Bakit si Briz, malayang nahahawakan ka? Samantalang ako, hindi." Umigting ang panga niya pagkasabi niya. "You have favoritism."

Shit! He's comparing!

"Uryll..."

"Don't 'Uryll' me, Nathalia. Enough with those shit!" Makahulugan ang mga titig niya—it's begging. But begging for what? "Let's be honest to each other, please?"

How can I be honest if I'm still in doubt? Paano kung i-take for granted niya ang lahat ng malalaman niya? I don't want to add more painful memories in my life! I had enough! Can he just spare me this drama?

"Let go of me. Marami akong gagawin!" Pilit pa rin akong pumipiglas. Damn! Bakit ang hirap nito?

He stared at me blankly, "Let you go? Uh-huh, no. You can't and I won't let you go ever again. Let's talk." He said in a warning tone.

Doing commando, huh? Great! Just great. Hindi ako makakawala sa hawak niya.

"Talk? We're obviously talking, asshole! Ano ba sa tingin mong ginagawa natin?"

His lips purses into a grim line. "Usap ba ang tawag mo dito? What the hell! This isn't a conversation to me. This is arguing Nathalia! Pride over pride, you say!" he shouted.

Napangiwi ako sa lakas ng boses niya. I am sure as hell, umaalingawngaw sa buong hallway ang boses niya. I sighed and tried to be calm. "Uryll... please lower down your voice." I said calmly—even though I'm about to burst.

"No." Tiim bagang niyang sagot.

Damn it! Ang tigas ng bungo ng lalakeng 'to.

Bumuntong hininga ulit ako. "Ginagawa mong komplikado ang lahat." Sabi ko.

Nanatili ang titig niya sa akin. "Hindi 'to magiging komplikado kung pareho tayong aamin. I'm losing my sanity here, Nathalia. Make it worth the slap, will you? Wina will probably go berserk. Ayoko na masampal ulit. It hurts."

I can see pain in his eyes. But—wait! "Sinampal ka ni Wina?" Goodness! Seryoso?

A slight smile escaped from his lips—Damn his lips! "You can say that." He said.

Sinampal nga!

"Bakit ka nagpasampal?" the only question I have in mind. Wina is scary, literally. Pero hindi ko inakalang magagawa niyang masampal si Uryll para lang dito. Earlier was a blast. She knocked up something in my head, but this? This is in the whole new level!

"Because I was an asshole." He uttered as if it's not offensive.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. "And you let her slap you? Ano bang meron sayo ngayon? Are you sick or something? This is not you!" Napapailing ako dahil sa inaasal niya. Where's the grade-A shitty Uryll? Yung lalakeng puro mura ang inaabot ko? Is this a clone? O baka naman pinaglalaruan ako ni Xynthea at Rio dahil gumawa pa sila ng ganitong illusion?

"Yes. Dahil kailangan ko rin ang sampal na 'yon. Now... will you make it worth it or not? I'm dying to know the truth. I can't stand being just a watcher, Nathalia. I want your full attention to me."
