A Man's Life

Sixteen

Paano ako napatawad ni Krystal?

Well, hindi niya agad ako napatawad ng ganun-ganun nalang.

Effort kaya ako nun. Tapos, siyempre, humingi ako ng tulong kina Charlie at Louie kung paanong panunyo ang gagawin. Technically babae naman sila kaya naman siguro alam nila ang soft spots ng mga babae diba? Kasi kahit papaano mga babae din naman sila.

Doon nagsimula ang aking… "Oplan Panunuyo 101"

"CHARLIE! LOUIE! I NEED YOUE HELP!”sigaw ko papunta kina Louie at Charlie.

“CHAN-CHAN! ANO YUN? ANO YUN?” sigaw din ni Charlie.

“TEKA LANG! Makasigaw kayong dalawa akala niyo pagkalayo-layo niyo sa isa’t isa. You’re just a few feet away for Pete’s sake!” sabat naman ni Louie. Napatingin naman si Charlie sa kaniya.

“Sorry na. Pero kelangan ko kasi ng tulong niyo. Please please please!” Pinagdikit ko ang mga palad ko at itinaas ang kamay ko habang nakayuko sa kanilang dalawa.

“O, bakit?” tanong ni Louie.

“Eh kasi…” simula ko.

“Hindi ikaw,” tugon ni Louie sakin. “Ba’t ganyan ka makatingin Charlie?”

“Bespren, sino si Pit? Su… sut… manliligaw mo?” seryosong tanong ni Charlie. Napanganga naman kaming dalawa ni Louie.

“Seriously?” sabay naming sambit ni Louie.

“Eh? Seryoso naman ako ah!” sagot ni Charlie.

“It’s just an expression Charlie, you don’t have to be so perplexed. And you Chang, what’s the fuzz?” Louie.

“I really need you two to help me out. It’s like my whole future depends on it. So please?” I answered.

“It’s about Krystal. I want to apologize to her. To appease her. And so I thought, well, you two are technically female…” Louie raised a brow with what I said but before she could interrupt me, I quickly followed up with:. “And, you’re my friends so maybe you could help me out. Besides, it was both your idea why I ended up in this mess. Not that I complain or wanted you to feel guilty or anything.”

Louie’s jaw slightly fell and I can sense that she’s going to retort. “You…”

“HEEEEEEP! ISTAAAAAAP!” sigaw ni Charlie bigla. Napatingin kami ni Louie sa kaniya. Nagulat kami parehas kasing tinatakpan ni Charlie ang ilong niya ng panyo. “Dahan-dahan naman mga bespren! Kayo-kayo lang nagkakaintindihan eh! Wag nga kayong mag Ingles!”

Napangiti naman kami ni Louie. Hay nako, Charlie. Kaya bestfriend kita eh!
