Chereads / "Best Part" / Chapter 9 - B.P. 8

Chapter 9 - B.P. 8

"What if you got someone pregnant kuya?"

Rhys drunkly said, I smiled bitterly,mas nauna pa akong uminom sakanya pero mas mukhang mauuna siyang malasing Kaysa sakin.

"Marry her if you love her"

If you got someone you love pregnant, you should really need to marry her.

"But what if you don't love her?"

I smirked and drink again.

"Support the child,why you need to force your self to the woman you don't love"

Natahimik sandali si Rhys kaya tingnan ko siya at nakahilig na ang ulo nito sa counter top.

I just let him and mind my own business.

Ilang minutong katahimikan ang bumalot bago nagsalita uli si Rhys kasabay nun ang pagka ubos ng alak sa bote ko.

"You hate her until now are you?"

Alam ko na kung sino ang tintutukoy nito ngunit hindi nalang ako umimik.

I don't want to talk to about her

"Do you ever think that she hates you too?"

Do I?

May karaptan kaming magalit sa isa't isa,She ruined my life and I'm sure I ruined her too.

I hate her and I am sure she does too.

"Why you ask too much Rhys?,Don't Tell me you change your Field being a Reporter."

I just want to change the topic,pero kilala ko si Rhys,He don't easily lost his focused pagdating sa chismis.

"Do still hate her until now?"

I stared at Rhys and sighed,

"Shouldn't I?...She messed and ruin my life...After the lost of my child with Monet,She didn't even say sorry or at least showed up,I know it also my fault but Fuck.Monet needs an apology from her!!Hindi ako napapatawad ni Monet kasi hindi parin humihingi ng tawad ang babaeng yun.Fuck her."

Narinig ko ang malulutong na mura na galing kay Rhys at tumawa ito ng mapakla.

"Why don't you try to find her though?...Find where the fucking she is,what she fucking doing right now or maybe what is her fucking life right now."

I smiled bitterly and stood up.

"Go to your room now Rhys,You are drunk already"

I take a step out from him when he spoke again.

"Xena is a good and amazing woman,hindi ko nga maintindihan bakit mo siya ginamit at sinaktan lang,...I don't believe you, you were saying that you just want to fuck her that time.Kung Mahal mo talaga si Monet,you wont go to Xena,bed and used her everytime you and Monet break up.Kung mahal mo talaga si Monet kahit na hinihiwalayan ka niya palagi You would wait for her and make it up with the both of you again."

I love Monet,Hindi magbabago yun.

At si Xena?She just a rebound and a bed warmer to fill my sadness from Monet and lust for Xena.

That's it.nothing more, nothing less.

"Hey hey Thorn!"

Sabay hila ko sa hawak hawak ng anak ko na kutsarang may peanut butter.

"Wǒ yīnggāi gàosù nǐ jǐ cì huāshēng guòmǐn? (How many times should I tell you that you have a peanut allergy?)"

Nakanguso itong yumuko at agad na yumakap sa beywang ko.

"Bàoqiàn, māmā, wǒ bù zhīdào nà shì huāshēng. (Sorry, mom, I didn't know that it was peanuts.)"

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at lumuhod sakanya upang magpantay kami at dahan dahan kong hinaplos ang pisngi niya ang buhok nito at hinalikan ito sa noo.

"Bǎobèi, nín bìxū fēicháng xiǎoxīn... Rúguǒ nín bù zhīdào shíwù de chéngfèn, qǐng bùyào zhǐ chī shi wù, yīnwèi shíwù kěnéng yú huāshēng huò niúnǎi hùnhé, bìngqiě nín zhīdào zìjǐ guòmǐn fǎnyìng. (Baby, you have to be very careful... if you don't know the ingredients of the food, please don't just eat the food, because the food may be mixed with peanuts or milk, and you know you have an allergic reaction.)"

Mahinahon kong paliwanag sakanya,Tinuro ko naman ang ate niya na nasa sala at kaharap ang tv na nanonood ng cartoons.

"Nín yīnggāi jīngcháng wèn wǒ, suǒyǐ wǒ yīnggāi zhīdào shàngmiàn shìfǒu méiyǒu huāshēng huò niúnǎi, jiù xiàng nín de dà jiějiě yīyàng, tā zǒng shì wèn, suǒyǐ wǒ zhīdào shàngmiàn méiyǒu míngjiāo, zhè yěshì wèile nǐmen liǎng gè de ānquán. (You should ask me often, so I should know if there is no peanut or milk on it, just like your big sister, she always asks, so I know there is no gelatin on it, this is also for the safety of you two.)"

Tumango lang ito at tumakbo papunta sa ate Niya at umupo sa tabi ni Yue at nagsumiksik at pilit inaagaw sa ate nito ang remote.

I just sighed at I eat instead the peanut na hawak hawak ko na kinuha ko kay Thorn kanina. Okay lang,sayang rin ang peanut eh,Tsaka san ba to nakuha ni Thorn?sa pagkakaalala ko,hindi ako kailanman bumibili ng Peanut,milk,and gelatin and lalo na ang marshmallow dahil allergic sila sa mga iyon.

"Māmā, jiějiě dǎ wǒ de shǒu! (Mom, my sister hit me on the hand!)"

I heared Thorn shout from living room.

"Chúfēi wǒ xiànzài guānbì diànshì, fǒuzé bùyào chǎojià. (Stop arguing unless I turn off the TV now.)"

Saway ko sa dalawa at tumigil lang din Naman ito sa pag aaway kaya umakyat ako sa kwarto at naligo para makapaghanda na sa trabaho ko ngayong gabi sa restaurant.Night Shift ako ngayon kasi marami ang tao ngayon sa restaurant dahil weekend.

I was busy drying my hair when my phone rang kaya inabot ko ito at sinagot.

"Hello baby,"

It's Rhys.Malandi eh.

"Hey what's up?"

I greet him while putting some lip balm on my lips.

"I'm fine,kayo?"

I loud speaker the call at inilapag iyon sa kama at nagsimula nang magbihis ng uniporme ko.

"The children are good,Si Thorn nangungulit na Naman sa ate Niya kasi wala ka rito para may makakulitan"

He chuckled on other line and hindi na ito nag salita pa kaya ay akala ko pinatay niya na ang tawag kaya tinignan ko ang phone ko pero hindi panaman end call.

"Hello Rhys?Are you still there?"

I ask over the phone.

"Yeah,I just have a hangover,nag inuman kasi kami ni kuya kagabi,medjo naparami"

Okay?

"Okay,sige magpahinga ka nalang maghahanda nako sa trabaho-"

I didn't finish my words when he cut it

"You wont worry or ask anything?"

Huh?Why would I?

"What for?sa tingin ko ayos kalang Naman"

Nagtatakang sagot ko.

"Hey,It's not about me,It's about kuya,I said nag inuman kami"

Huh?

I rolled my eyes and sit at the bed.

"Eh ano naman Ngayon?"

Paki ko ba?ano Naman kung nag inuman sila.

"Hayss.He drunk a godamn strong liquor you know.A Clarkes Court Spiced Rum is bottled at 69% abv, a higher strength than standard navy strength rums."

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at napairap sa hangin.

"What should I care about then?"

Tumawa naman ito sa kabilang linya.Kaya papatayin ko na sana ang tawag ng magsalita uli siya.

"Mas nauna pa akong nalasing sakanya kagabi pero ngayon tulog parin siya."

Kasabay nito ang pagtawa niya.Napabuntong hininga nalang ako.

Axl don't usually easily got drunk,Malaki ang high tolerance niya sa alak.

I still remember when He is broke because of Monet ,He called for me,grabe ang saya ko noon dahil sa wakas,sa mahigit na dalawang buwan ay naghiwalay na naman sila at sakin na naman pansamantala si Axl.

He ask me to join him in bar at pumayag rin Naman ako.Mahal ko siya eh..

We drunk,I drunk,I got wasted at siya ay parang hindi man lang ito nalasing.

"Eh ano naman Ngayon?"

Pagtataray ko rito.

Paki ko ba kong lasing siya?I don't want to hear anything about him.For the 5 years tinuruan ko ang puso at isip kong unti unti siyang kalimutan pero halos hindi ko naman magawa dahil pag nakikita ko ang mga anak ko nakikita ko rin si Axl sa kanila,idagdag pa tong si Rhys na palaging nagkukwento tungkol kay Axl sa tuwing nandito siya.Gusto ko na siyang palayasin pero ayaw ko namang maging bastos kaya hinahayaan ko nalang at pinapalabas na lamang sa kabilang tenga.

"He called your name this morning,ni record ko nga eh,gusto mong isend ko sayo?"

Abay bwesit talaga tong gunggong nato.

"Hayy....Wala ka nabang importanteng sasabihin huh?kasi papasok na ako sa trabaho-"

Biglang may pumasok na voicemail sa phone ko,

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko.Nakatitig lang ako sa screen ng phone ko hanggang sa mamatay rin ito kaya nakahinga na ako ng maluwag at pagod na naupo sa kama at inilapag doon ang phone.

Rhys send a voicemail and I am sure yun yong sinasabi niyang Ni record niya si Axl na tinatawag ang pangalan ko.

I am liar if I denied to myself na hindi ko gustong marinig ang boses niya.

Pero mali eh.Ayoko nang maulit nanaman ang dati.Tama nayun.Ayoko nang magkamali pa uli.

"Māmā chén āyí láile (Mom, Aunt Shen is here)."

Rinig kong tawag ni Yue mula sa labas ng kwarto kaya inayos ko ang nagusot kong skirt at lumabas sa kwarto,

"Duìbùqǐ, chén āyí, rúguǒ wǒ zài fángjiān lǐ dāile tài cháng shíjiān, wǒ zhǐ xūyào jiē yīgè zhòngyào diànhuà (Sorry, Aunt Shen, if I stay in the room for too long, I only need to answer an important call)"

Sabi ko kay Aunt sheen,Siya Kasi ang nag iinsist na magbantay sa dalawa tuwing night shift ang trabaho ko.She is one of mom's close friend here in Hongkong nakilala ko siya last year at naging magaan naman ang loob namin sa isa't isa.

"Gèng bùyòng shuō, dāng nín wàichū shí, wǒ jiāng kàn kàn zhèxiē piàoliang yòu yīngjùn de háizi. (Not to mention, I will take a look at these beautiful and handsome children when you are out.)"

Napangiti ako ng malapad at pinasalamatan si Aunt shen,niyakap at hinalikan ko naman ang dalawa bago ako lumabas ng bahay para magtrabaho.
