IX.
Andito na kami sa bar, Janina's on the dancefloor with Dom while I'm here waiting for them to come back. Iniisip ko pa din talaga bakit parang confortable na akong kasama si Janina kahit na kahapon lang naman kami nagkakilala? Bakit parang kilalang kilala na niya ako? I mean yeah, and one more thing when she called me and told me 'I love you' what's that?
Too many questions with no answers.
I grabbed my tequila and drink it straight. Ito lang iinumin ko for tonight, I don't want to be wasted again.
"Donny, are you okay here?" Janina came back with Dom.
Umupo na sila sa tabi ko. "Yeah I'm fine, may mga iniisip lang ako," I said.
"Like what?" She asked. Tumayo si Dom and nagpaalam na mag ccr lang. Tumango lang naman kami.
"Have we met before? I mean, magkilala na ba tayo dati pa?" Hindi ko na napigilan sarili ko. Sobrang curious na ako.
She drinked her tequila straight before speaking, "Nah, we just met yesterday right? What makes you think that we met before?" Sabi niya and uminom ulit ng tequila. "Oh wait dang, I'm friends with you sister diba? Ahhh kaya kilala na pala kita."
"Ay shoot oo nga I remember, she's your bff but it's been 17 years since you last saw each other, right?" I asked. "Ah yeah, that's true" sh replied.
"May I know what happened?" Tanong ko ulit.
"I had to go to the States for some important matter and I had to live there with my parents" Nagkibit- balikat lang siya.
After she said that, tinunga niya ulit ang isang shot glass filled with tequila. "Ohh kaya, haha glad you're back. Anyway, lakas mo pala uminom ah" I changed the topic.
"Ah haha hindi naman, nasabik lang talaga ako, ilang years din ako hindi uminom nito" Sabi niya. Nagtaka naman ako bakit?
"Bakit? What's the reason?"
"Ah ano, wala tinigil ko lang kasi nagsawa ako" She replied. Uhmkay?
After naming ubusin lahat ng drinks na inorder, we decided to go home na, nauna na si Dom besides he has his own car, I'll bring home Janina pero sabi niya, sa bahay na lang daw siya tutulog. "Can I sleep in your house? Pleaseee I want to see Hannah?!?!"
Nagbuntong hininga na lang ako at nagkibit balikat.
"Oh my gosh?!" Nagising ako ng may sumigaw sa baba. Nagulat ako. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko, ah shit, hang over na naman ba 'to?
"Tangina." Napasapok ako sa ulo ko because I remembered that I brought Janina here?!?! Baka yun yung dahilan bakit sumigaw si Hannah?
Agad akong bumaba sa sala pero walang tao doon. I went upstairs again to check their bedrooms. Pero wala, dang.
"Shit, sa kitchen!" I murmured.
Dali- dali akong bumaba sa kitchen and there I saw them with Janina.
"Kuya!" Hannah shouted.
"Why didn't you tell me that you already found my long lost bestfriend?" She asked. Galit na galit?
"Surprise?" Sabi ko na medyo nag- aalinlangan.
"Dang kuya! Thank you, ito na pinaka magandang gift mo sa akin! I love you kuys!" Sabi niya, she's so cute. It's been a long time since I gave Hannah a gift.
"Y- you're welcome" Sabi ko.
Nag- aalinlangan pa din talaga ako, I thought dapat di ko muna dinala dito sa Janina, dapat kinilala ko pa siya ng sobra, sobrang mysterious niya, she haven't mention her life, I mean yeah she did mention her personal life pero hindi yung talaga sobrang personal. I just want to know her more. Kasi it feels like I knew her for a very long time, iba talaga.
