Alas tres na ng hapon at naisipan Kong pumunta sa mall para bumili ng regalo ko Kay nanay kahit matagal pa ang birthday nya at five days iyon bago ang birthday ko. Habang namimili ako ay mayroong pumukaw - - umagaw ng atensyon ko. Hindi bagay kundi tao.
"It's cool bagay sayo!"
"Mayroon na akong ganyan iba lang ang kulay" tsaka binalik ng lalaki ang isang royal blue shirt
"Ah! Alam ko na! Itong cap nalang para same tayo!" Said that straight haired girl, Femme at kinuha ang dalawang cap at isinuot sa lalaki ang isa and yeah! That guy was the crazy one, Brix.
Srsly? Why are they together? I didn't knew they we're that close!
And I don't know but...I think I heard it right. Did he just said- -
"Fine honey, c'mon let's go" at saka pinunasan ang pawis ni Femme and she cling into that guy's arm.
Wait- - Srsly!? Are they - -
"Xheann!" I stop making conclusions when this girl called my name while still clingging to that guy's arm at ngayon ko lang napansin na nakalapit na pala sila sa'kin.
"Ah? Y-yeah?" I flash a feeble smile.
"Tara sama ka samin!" Sabi nya tsaka hinila ako palabas hanggang sa makarating kami sa harap ng isang kotse at Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit hinayaan ko lang din na hilahin ako ng babaeng to.
Pumasok sya sa kotse at ganoon din ako. Pumwesto sya sa driver's seat. Wait!- - - Mali yata na sumama ako sa kanila. Yeah! Right! It's their date! Yeah! I shouldn't - - -
"That's spot isn't for you honey" said this crazy guy na kararating lang dahil sya ang nagbayad ng pinamili nila.
"I wanna drive this time. Hmm?? Please??" He pleaded that crazy guy at nag puppy eyes pa.
"No. You'll get tired" he said at wala namang nagawa si femme but to sit at the passenger's seat na katabi nito while lips are still pouted.
Dmn! It's fvck'n awkward here!
Lalabas na sana ako ng biglang umandar ang kotse at that crazy guy started to drive.
"Uh..wait! Hindi nalang siguro ako sasama- - -"
"No xheann! Maganda ro'n pramis!" At wala na akong nagawa dahil NASA kalagitnaan na kami ng byahe papuntang Hindi ko Alam kung saan.
Naiilang ako. Bakit ba sumama ako dito? LAKAD magjowa 'to Xheann! Damn!
Gustuhin ko mang tumalon pero Hindi ko pa kayang maging lumpo kaya wag nalang. Let's just go with this crazy. TSS!
Napatingin ako sa mirror at ganoon nalang ang gulat ko when I saw that crazy guy looking at me through that mirror. Sht! Kaya ipinasak ko nalang ang earphone ko sa tenga at utinuon ang atensyon sa labas.
At mayamaya ay pumunta na kami sa lugar na ngayon ko palang napuntahan. Naunang bumaba si Femme at susunod na sana ako pero Hindi ko na sya nakita pa. Tss! The eff-! He leave his damn crazy boyfriend here?
Bigla Kong naramdamang hinawakan ako ng lalaking to sa pulsuhan at tsaka hinila
"The heck are you do- -"
"Let's go. This way." And he didn't let go of my hand hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang - - whoa!
It was filed with A LOT of different color and kinds of flowering plants! And they're so damn pretty! And from a far, I saw femme talking to someone I don't know or maybe one of the person taking care of these.
"It's the place we often visit." I raised my brows while he's looking at me saying those. Wala naman akong pakialam kung dito kayo palaging pumupunta. You don't need to tell me that.
I heard him chuckled. At muli akong hinila pero hinila ko pabalik ang kamay ko.
"Don't keep on dragging me."
"Hahaha! So just follow me." Tsaka sya naglakad at sumunod naman ako hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang gulod na malapit lang doon.
He sat near the tree and I did the same.
If I could discover this great place before, baka Hindi na ako naging tambay sa loob ng bahay. Tss!
"We often visit this place because she needs fresh air. She has a weak heart and even her respiratory system." Sabi nya habang nasa malayo ang paningin. Na Kay femme.
"And why are you telling me these? I don't have a damn shitty care about that anyway"
I heard him chuckled again.
"She's my twin." And that made me turned my head to him. Napataas ako ng kilay. Srsly?
Twin? And he's calling her honey? Srsly?
"You mean, she have come back to life? C'mon! That's crazy!"
"She's never been dead" he retorted.
"Then who's inside that tomb? Ano 'yon trip lang na binisita mo?"
"No. Thania was the only one who's dead but Thaney isn't."
"What?" Naguguluhan Kong tanong. Srsly! Naguguluhan talaga ako. He said his twin was already dead, and now the girl he's calling 'honey' was his twin - - don't tell me ....
"We're triplets by the way. Thania is dead. And that girl was my sister too, her name is Crezzé Thaney Femme" srsly? I never expect that they're brothers and sister!
"I thought she's your girlfriend. You even called her honey"
"Yeah! From her name Thaney. And it's not honey, it's Haney"
At napatango ako.
(A/N: CrezzéThaneyFemme was pronounced as krezey Thani Fem)
"And about the incident on your mother, I wanna say sorry first. But I'll tell you this honestly, it's up to you kung maniniwala ka o hindi" hindi ako sumagot. Nakatingin lang ako sa malayo
"Like what Xyrhyll have done to you, she did it to Thaney, too. I don't know kung bakit si Thaney. Pero gaya ng ginawa nila sayo, pinahiya, binully at sinira ang kung ano anong gamit nya but she just remained silent never syang pumatol kailanman but damn! lagi ko nalang syang nakikitang umiiyak and that was not good for her! Gaya ng sabi ko mahina ang puso nya. Bawal syang maistress, mapagod o kung ano pa. That's why I talked to xyrhyll, sinabi ko na kung sinong gusto nyang bulihin, ipahiya o kung ano pa, ay tutulungan ko sya. Wag lang nyang idadamay o saktan ang kapatid ko. And I became damn shit! Until nung iniutos nyang makipagkaibigan ako sayo. Yeah! That was planned para malaman nya kung saan ka nakatira, and to know everything about you from me. But I've became close to you, at nung nakilala kita ng husto ay Hindi ko makita ang dahilan kung bakit gustong ipapatay ni xyrhyll ang nanay mo. And yeah! I was the one who's the reason kung bakit sya naospital but I didn't hit her, I've just pushed her noong matapat ako sa kanya and I didn't dare looking back at Hindi ko na alam ang nangyare, ang nalaman ko na lang ay dinala sya sa ospital..
I know I'm so f*ck*ng damn person, I'm so damn coward for chosing to do bad. But I've did all of those for my sister for I don't wanna loose one again. I'm sorry Xheann..."
Tahimik pa rin ako. I knew it. But I still can't believe. I don't know. Siguro kaya magaan ang loob ko sa baliw na 'to is because he's not really that bad as I think to be cursed. I admit nagalit ako when I knew that fact that he hit my mother but damn! There's someone worst than him and I don't know why she should have to do that.
I can't blame this crazy guy for turning into something he shouldn't be. But because of being afraid of loosing someone he love, for protecting someone he shouldn't want to loose, he turned out to be something he never wanted.
"Alam Kong gwapo ako xheann at Hindi madaling kalimutan ang ginawa ko but please forgive me and let's be friends...again..." At saka nya nilahad ang kamay nya habang nakangiti and I can't help but to raise my brows up. He's talking seriously pero nagawa nya paring isingit ang pagpupuri ng sarili nya? Srsly?
"Allergy ka ba sa kamay ng ibang tao? Alam mo bang ito ang pangalawang beses na mareject ang kamay ko at ikaw lang ang gumawa nun ha?"
"Tss! I never gave a damn care accepting crazie's hands." I replied and leaned on the tree near me. I flashed a smile. I don't know but I felt happiness inside.
"Bakit hindi ka pumasok kanina?" Tanong nya
"Paki mo ba? Eh sa gusto at ayaw ko eh!"
"Ano? Gusto na ayaw pa? Baliw kaba?"
"Gusto Kong umabsent at ayaw Kong pumasok. Tsss! Slow! And excuse me you're the crazy one here!"
"Kelan ba ako makatatanggap ng matinong sagot sayo Xheann?"
"Malay ko. Siguro 'pag matino na rin ang tanong?.."
"Tss! Baliw ka lang talaga!"
"Seriously? Coming from you?"
"Yeah! Coming from handsome like me!"
"..should be ,crazy like you." I rolled my eyes at kumuha ng isang mansanas sa bag na dala nila
"Okay lang daw kahit Hindi ka magpaalam sabi ni Brix the pogi" sarkastiko nyang sabi
"Whatever! Hinila ako ng kapatid mong madaldal so it's her fault dahil nagutom ako" I said at muling nangalkal ng prutas sa bag nila.
"Wala na bang iba?" Mansanas, ubas, at mangga lang kasi ang nandun
"Whoa! Spell makapal ang muka- - -"
"Y-O-U" I immediately answered. At kumuha ng isang bottled water and have a gulp of it. Napanganga naman sya at biglang inilayo ang bag nya
"Wag ka ng kukuha ha? Para Kay Thaney to! Nakakahiya naman sayo ms. Xheann! Ikaw pa ang unang kumain...."
"Tss! Okay fine. Okay narin naman ako sa nakain ko" sagot ko at muling sumandal sa puno
"Astig nyo magplano ng picnic no? hapon...."
"Tss! Dahil wala naman klase ngayong hapon kaya nandito kami. And to tell you, it's not a picnic. Sadyang kung ano ano lng ang pinaglalagay ni Thaney dito sa bag. Tss!"
"She's lucky. She has a brother like you....." Bigla kong sabi. Yeah. She's lucky and I envy her.
"Of course! Sya ba naman magkaroon ng gwap- - -"
"Yun nga lang malas dahil baliw ka...."
"Tss! Ibato ko kaya sayo 'tong tubig na'to?!"
"Well..do what you want. But I'm warning you not to do so. Dahil hindi pa nalapat 'yan sa balat ko ay babalik na'yan sa iyo. Sa muka mo pa mismo.."
"Whoa! Yabang natin dude ah?"
"Thank you!"
"XHEANN!!! KRAYJIIIIII BRO!!! C'MON! DALI DITOOOO!!!!" Femme called us from a far while waving.
"Tara.."
"Kaya kong tumayo."
"Hahaha! Bakit ba palaging rejected ang kamay ko sayo xheann ha? Magsapang ba? Makinis naman ah. Wala ring kalyo. O sadyang maarte ka lang talaga?"
"I've never touched your hands yet ako pa'ng tatanungin mo kung magasapang? Tanga ka talaga and first, look for the meaning of maarte." Sagot at saka tumayo at naglakad.
"Woy! Wait xheann!" Tawag nya mula sa likuran but I didn't look back.
"Alam Kong na-miss mo andg kagwapuhan ko xheann. So here's for you!" Tsaka nya inabot ang isang bulaklak na pinitas nya
"Uh sorry but i hate the color. Maybe it suits you, pink eh." At saka ko sya tinawanan.
"What the- -Hoy!!"
"Ah nga pala! Bagay sayo yung tawag sayo ng kapatid mo, KRAYJI sounds like CRAZY.." I smirk at nag patuloy na sa paglalakad ng- -
"Argh! The heck!!" Inis ko syang nilingon ng batuhin nya ako ng isang medyo bilog na bulaklak ng halaman at Ewan ko ba kung bulaklak yun! Kaya pumitas din ako at binato yun sa kanya pero muli nya akoNG binato at natamaan ako sa noo- sht!
"HAHAHAHAHAH!!!"
Kaya muli rin akong pumitas or I should say hinablot ko nalang at sumama pa ang talbos at naputol na sanga. Wala naman atang nakakakita sa'kin kaya WALA AKONG PAKI!
pero nung babatuhin ko na sya ay tumakbo na sya at tumago sa likuran ni femme.
"Kuyaaa! Alis nga dyan!!! Oh! Picturan mo kami ni Xheann!! Xheann dalii!!!" At saka nya ako hinila at saktong pagklik ng camera - WTH!?
"Xheann ngumiti ka naman! Ang panget mo na nga, Hindi kapa ngingiti."
"Eh kung ipakain ko kaya sayo yang tinik ng mga halaman na yan?"
"Hahahah! Chill just kidding dude!" TSS!
"Xheann here!!" At nilagay nya ang dilaw na bulaklak sa likod ng tainga ko at ganun din sya. Ang cute! Tss!
"Ayun! Ngumiti ka rin xheann! Yun nga lang buang buang ka Hindi ka tumingin!TSS! Panget pa rin tuloy. Ano ba yan wala ka man lang magandang kuha!" Sabi nya habang tinitingnan ang mga shots sa phone nya. Kingineng! Babatuhin ko na talaga 'to!
"Oh! Haney ikaw naman!" Inabot nya Kay femme ang phone nya
"Oh?" I raised my brows ng tumabi sya sa'kin
"Picture tayo!!!!" Sagot nya at biglang umakbay sakin at binatukan ko naman sya. Dapak?!
"Aray xhean! Ang damot mo talaga kahit kailan! Oh AYAN! Jan ka at dito ako! Masaya kana?" Lumayo sya at naglagay ng isang pagitan sa'min. Damn! He's really crazy!
"Ngumiti kana kung ayaw mong maging katawa tawa sa litrato!!!"
"TSS! At sino ka para diktahan ako?"
"Okay .. 1..2...3.." At pag flash ng camera ay lalo kong pinapangit ang muka ko. Wacky.
"HAHAHAHA! Ang pangit mo dito xheann!!"
"Bakit ikaw? Maganda ka ba?"
"Nope. But I'm pogi!"
"Baliw kamo. Akina nga yan. Kayo naman." Pagpepresinta ko.
"Yes! Sure! Kuya daliii!" At saka ko sila kinunan ng picture. May pareho silang nakangiti, nakawacky, magkaakbay, may nakayakap pa si femme sa baliw nyang kuya, nagmakefaces sila at kung ano ano pa - - at na iinggit ako!
I wish I could have those kind of pics together with my twin. But still napangiti pa rin ako.
Mga alas singko y media na ng napagpasyahan namin umuwe.
And on our way, I saw someone.
Someone na matagal ko ng Hindi nakikita.
------------
Kinabukasan ay naisipan ko ng pumasok.
"Seems like you two already don't have an LQ anymore.." bigla akong napalingon sa nagsalita sa likuran ko habang naglalakad ako - - and it was the asshole.
"Excuse me? Are you talking to me?" Taas kilay Kong tanong.
"Yes. I'm talking to you. Bakit mukang hindi mo ata kasabay ang boyfriend mo?"
"Boyfriend?" Kunot noo Kong tanong.
Buti pa sya alam na may boyfriend ako samantalang ako Hindi ko alam.
"Your KNIGHT.." in emphasize nya pa ang salitang knight. The eff-?
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you drunk?" Srsly. I don't get him.
"I notice na Hindi kayo nagpapansinan last week. May LQ ata kayo. But now, congrats! I think you two are already okay.
He even posted a photo together with you..." Tsaka nya ipinakita ang phone nya at naka post nga sa IG ng baliw nayon ang picture namin kahapon. The eff--!?
"Tss! So sweet! " sabi nya at ibinulsa ang phone nya at matapos akong irapan ay naglakad palayo. LIKE WHAT THE EFF--?
