Sobrang ingay at gulo.It's so thrilling,she couldn't ask for more!
Nanonood sila ng live wrestling ngayon and God knows how obssesed she is with this stuff!Isa pa,nung nasa Korea, wala siyang time sa mga ganito,puro trabaho lang.It's really been a while since she have watched a live match.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" she screamed together with the crowd when the whimpy man throwed a punch to it's well built up-big opponent.Na-out balance yung dambuhalang lalaki dahil sa suntok nito.
Sa sobrang payat nito,akala niya nung una,mamamatay ito sa match dahil sa sobrang laki ng kalaban.She's wrong!You really shouldn't judge a person by his appearance.
"3-2-1!" they counted along with referee.The crowd is full of anticipation for few seconds but the big opponent didn't stand up anymore.This only means that the thin whimpy guy won!-KNOCK DOWN!
Naghiyahawan ang lahat ng pagkalakas lakas! Itinaas nung lalaki yung dalawang kamao niya.Kitang-kita niya ang mga luha galing sa mata nito,parang kahit ito ay hindi makapaniwala na nanalo siya.
Bumaling siya kay Rayko sa unang pagkakataon."Rayko!Did you see that?He won-" Natigilan siya.Kitang-kita kasi sa mukha nito ang disgusto.Guilt rushed into her body.She's been absorbed with the match at hindi ito binigyan ng atensyon simula nung pagdating nila.Nakalimutan niya na ayaw nito sa mga maiingay na lugar.
"Uwi na tayo" he said with a low voice.
"Okay" Maybe watching a live match is not a good idea for a date after all?
.
Kahit nung nasa kotse na sila,hindi parin ito umiimik.Napahigpit ang hawak niya sa manebela.She needs to enlighten up the mood!Hindi sila pwedeng umuwi na ganito si Rayko.
"Alam mo ba bigay sakin ni Clin ang kotseng to-" It got worse!Nagsisimula palang siyang magsalita,kumunot na agad ang noo nito.Akala niya mae-excite ito kung i-topic niya si Clin kasi type nito yung mga ganung gwapong mukha,maybe not.She sighed at inistart nalang kotse.
Even in driving,she can see in her peripheral vision that he's only looking outside.Parang wala itong balak kausapin siya.
He's still stubborn as ever.She thought
"Look-I'm sorry for bringing you in that place but please kausapin mo naman ako" nakatingin lang siyang diretso sa daan habang nagdadrive.Ayaw niyang makita ang expression ng mukha nito,baka mawalan lang siya ng focus at mabangga pa sila.
"It's not that" He finally spoke for the first time but he's still looking away.She pulled over on the side of the road so she can talk properly.
"Then what are you so mad about?" She stared at him.Nakatingin parin ito sa labas.
"Rayko"she uttered softly.Ang hirap talaga suyuin ng baklang ito kahit kailan.
He left her with no choice.Humawak siya sa steering wheel at pinaandar ulit ang kotse.She slowly increased her pace.
"Sayvel!" Hindi niya ito pinansin at mas lalong pinabilis lang takbo ng sasakyan.Because he's stubborn.She needs to teach him a lesson.
"Ahhhh!" Halos nakahiga na ito sa upuan.No,she won't stop.
"Sabihin mo muna kung bakit ka galit"
"Stop the car!" Nagulat siya sa lakas ng pagsigaw nito kaya napapreno siya. Napatingin siya dito.He's covering his face with his two hands.She can see his shoulders shaking.Wait.Is he crying?
***
Back when Rayko is still a little kid.Something drastic has happened.
He was walking nervously towards the parking lot.Nung pumasok pa siya sa kotse mas lalo lang siyang ninerbiyos.
"So how was school" His dad asked as soon as he settled on his seat.That day he planned to finally come out to his dad that he's gay.But it's easier said than done.
"F-fine" He's even stuttering at that moment.Dad gave him a quick glance "Are you okay?You're surprisingly well-behaved today" he laughed at him.
"May sasabihin ako Dad"
"Oh?Ano yun?" The tone of his voice is oozing with positivity like he's expecting some good news from him.He just closed his eyes mustering all the courage left in him.
"I'm...gay"
Right after what he said.Nawalan ng kontrol sa manebela ang papa niya.
They got into an accident.
It took a lot of months before both of them recovered.
"R-rayko.I'm really sorry" She tried to hold him.Tinabig niya lang ang kamay nito.
He don't usually cry.But right now,he couldn't help it.Everything just went back to him.Parang natrauma na siya dahil sa pangyayaring yun at ramdam niya ulit yung takot na naramdaman niya ngayon.
Wala siyang magawa kundi umiyak nalang.
All of a sudden,he found himself in her arms.Bigla nalang siya nitong yinakap.He's aware that the gesture is gross and corny.He should be pushing her and all but he just couldn't do anything for some reason.
"I'm sorry for acting insensitively" He heard her say in a soothing manner.Bahagya pa nitong hinaplos ang likod niya.
He couldn't fought the urge to hug her back.Yinakap niya ito ng mas mahigpit pa kaysa sa pagyakap nito sakanya.Napahikbi siya.
Ilang beses na niyang iniyakan si Sayvel and she's the only person that have seen him like this.And he doesn't know why he's letting her be.Parati niya itong hinahayaan na makita siyang umiyak.
God.Don't let this woman leave me again. He prayed mentally.
After he cried his heart out.
They we're still in that position.He doesn't want to let go.Hindi niya rin alam kung bakit.
"Ilang beses na ba kitang napaiyak"she said. Tumawa ito ng mahina
"Hmmn...di ko alam" Nung umalis ito ilang beses siyang umiyak kaya di niya narin mabilang.
"Para kang babae alam mo yun"
He wondered if her voice is always this soft?Napapikit siya.It's like her voice is hushing him.
"Babae ako" tumawa lang ito sa sagot niya
"Kung babae ka liligawan kita" She teased.
"I don't mind.Pwede mo akong ligawan" He's sleepy.
"Ano?!" She suddenly held him out.Kaya napabukas ang mga mata niya.Gulat na gulat ang ekspresyon nito.He roled his eyes and just rest his head on the window.He's so tired from crying.
"Just don't bring me on freaking wrestling match next time.Like gosh who would like to watch a nasty wrestling for a date" he said closing his eyes.
Hindi naman talaga siya galit.Nagtampo lang siya ng konti.
"So you are permitting me to have another date with you?Is that a... confession?" Hindi niya rin alam.Hindi niya nalang ito sinagot.Naramdaman niya ang pagtakbo ulit ng sasakyan.
He's tired.Nakatulog nalang siya ng di niya namamalayan.
