Chapter 40 - Men Are Irrational Beings

Chapter Forty
"Men Are Irrational Beings"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

Nagising ako na sobrang sakit ang ulo. Pagmulat ko ng mga mata ko, nakahiga ako sa higaan ni Theo.

Wait, why am I at Theo's room?

Napabangon ako ng wala sa oras dahilan para mapangiwi ako sa bigat ng ulo ko. "You're awake." Theo's cold voice greeted me early in the morning.

"B-bat ako nasa kwarto mo?" Tanong ko nalamang sa kaniya.

"It seemed like you had fun last night, that you collapsed right in front of me when you got home." mahinahon nitong sinabi sa akin. Nakaupo lang ito sa couch niya habang hawak-hawak ang newspaper.

Just then I remembered about last night's incident, kaya napasapo ako ng noo ko. S-hit. Andami kong nagawang eskandalo kagabi. I slapped the hell out of a sexual predator and a quidnunc — Romeo to be specific. I even drank a lot of Tequila which Kiefer offered, tapos 'di ko na alam ang ibang detalye.

Nakaramdam na lamang ako ng isang pitik sa noo ko kaya napabalik ako sa huwisyo. "You're spacing out." Ani Theo.

"I'm sorry. 'Di ko lang talaga maalala ang nagawa ko kagabi."

S-hit. Last night I got harassed and I slapped Romeo right in the face. "Tell me." Umupo ito sa tabi ko.

"You're going to listen to me?"

"Kailan pa ba ako 'di nakinig sa'yo?"

"You left when I tried to explain myself to you that day Theo." I was pertaining to that day he just walked away.

"That was different." Maktol nito sa akin. "So tell me, what happened last night?"

"'Wag na." Irap ko sa kaniya. I heard him tutted and glared at me.

"Come on." Inuyog pa nito ako. Napasinghal na lamang ako.

I know if I'm going to tell him about last night's he's going to be really angry but I summed up the courage to tell him so.

"Ugh. It was terrible, I did not have fun at all kung alam mo lang. Andaming tao then I—I was sexually h-harassed." Nauutal kong sinabi sa kaniya, nabigoa naman ako sa nasabi ko sa kaniya.

Nakita kong biglang nagseryoso ang mukha ni Theo, he even clenched his fist kaya nabigla ako sa inasta nito.

"Who harassed you?"

"Uh— Theo. I already settled —"

"Tell me who did it? WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?!" He yelled at me. Pinandilatan pa nito ako ng kaniyang mga mata.

"Theo."

"I SAID, WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?!" Tinaasan niya ako ng boses kaya napasalita ako ng di oras.

"He sexually harassed me Theo! H-he slid his hands inside me and he t-touched me. " Napakurap naman ito sa galit. Nakakatakot tingnan si Theo dahil galit na galit ito. "But don't worry sinampal ko 'yon." I assured him, trying to calm him down.
