Fouling Out (Remix)

Fifth Foul

Aware ako na nagtataka na ang mga tao bakit dikit nang dikit sa akin si GD.

He'd wait for me even after practice and he would always insist na ihatid ako kahit hanggang sa sakayan lang pauwi sa amin.

Some people would think na nanliligaw siya sa akin but I know better than most people.

Meron bang nanliligaw na walang ginawa kundi asarin ka each and everytime na magkikita kayo?

"Bakit ang ganda mo ngayon?" he asked me one time and I immediately knew that comment was not going to go anywhere good.

"Bakit mo ako kinukulit dito?!?! Nagdi-drills kayo dun diba? Bumalik ka na nga!"

A normal guy would have cowed at my words but I have come to learn that GD's skin is even thicker than a hedgehog's. "Iinom lang ako nang tubig at saka may masama ba na sabihin sa'yo na maganda ka ngayon? Kung si Kuya Hero nagsabi nun malamang kinilig ka na."

"Hindi ako kikiligin no."

"Hindi totoo yan. Nakita na kita kinilig dito e inaabutan ka lang niya nang tubig nun."

"KWON JIYONG TIGILAN MO AKO AT BUMALIK KA SA LINYA NYO!"

By the way he turned around and sauntered back towards his team mates, you would have thought I said something nice.

I don't understand at all how his brain functions.

"Hi Dara!" I saw Bom, Kuya Hero's girlfriend, walk up to me the moment GD got back in line.

"Hello" binati ko ito pabalik.

She looked out of sorts as she handed me a small box.

"Pakibigay naman to kay Hero."

Lalong lumakas ang kutob ko na parang may mali. I couldn't help but pry.

"Ow? Uhmmmm... gift ba to?"

I was surprised to find her near tears as she struggled to answer.

"Alam na niya kapag nakuha niya yan."

Logically putting things together, I mustered up courage to ask "Nag-away ba kayo?"

There was no mistaking the catch in her throat before she dragged me outside the gym.

"DARA!!!!!!" she exclaimed before hugging me and crying into my arms.

I was so surprised I could not move.

"Ah Eh... bakit Bom?"

"Nakikipag-break na siya sa akin!!!!!"

Para akong pinakawalan nang gravity tapos hinatak pabalik sa nadinig ko.

HUH?!?

That statement contradicted everything I knew about Kuya Hero.

He wasn't the type to just walk away from someone who was making him happy as of yesterday at kaka-celebrate lang din nila halos nang first month nila together.

He even kept saying how he was so happy that his girlfriend was such a good cook at malamang e ikatataba niya ang laging pagsama dito.

Paano naisip ni Bom na nakikipag-break na ito sa kanya?!?!

"Sigurado ka ba? Si Kuya Hero?"

"OO!" Bom answered passionately "Nag-away kase kami kagabi e. Tapos akala ko ok na pero magsimula kaninang umaga, tinatawagan ko siya pero di siya sumasagot! Eh hindi ka ba mapapaisip nun? Bakit biglang may cold treatment Dara? Saan galing yun? Siya pa nga nagsabi na mababaw lang pinag-awayan namin e tapos di niya ako kakausapin!"
