Napalingon si Brett kung sino ang bumukas ang ilaw. Nakita ko kung paano nanlaki ang mga mata niya nung nakita niya ako.
"Oh Ghad." I whispered.
Agad na tinakpan ng babae ang kaniyang katawan at nakita kong kinuha ni Brett ang kaniyang boxer shorts.
"Sorry for interrupting , I didn't mean to." I growled.
Tila nahimasmasan ako sa aking pagkalasing. I maybe drunk but I know what I saw.
Damn it! Hindi na dapat ako pumunta. Parang sinaksak ulit ng ilang beses ang puso ko.
Dali-dali akong lumabas doon at sumakay sa elevator subalit naabutan ako ni Brett.
"Kaya ba hindi mo ako masagot ng oo nung nag propose ako dahil ikakasal ka sa iba,Kia?" he said as if he was demanding my answer .
He attempted to grab my hand but I ended up slapping him.
"Putangina Brett! Huwag na huwag mo akong subukang hawakan." I threatened him.
" Kia naman..." aniya.
"You have no idea what I've been through,Brett. I was ready to elope with you but I change my mind. You jerk!" I yelled.
Umismid siya. " Kung hindi pa ako nagmakaawa sa mga kaibigan mong sabihin sa akin, wala akong kaalam alam ,nagdedesisyon ka na namang mag-isa!" aniya.
"Brett look, I don't have a choice but you have and you chose to fuck some random girl." I stated.
"Meron Kia pero mas pinili mo ang putanginang sasabihin ng pamilya kaysa sa akin!" aniya.
"Gago ka ba o talagang gago ka na talaga? Si Lolo na lang ang mayroon ako Brett at alam mo yun!" mahinang saad ko.
" Paano naman ako? I don't want to be with someone who can't choose me. Let's call it over then " aniya.
"Fine, Gago ka na nga ang selfish mo pa. " ani ko bago tumunog ang elevator.
Dali-dali akong sumakay sa kotse ko at pinaharurot ulit pabalik sa Fiasco Club. Bumalik ako sa room na kung saan naroon ang mga pinsan ko. They all asked me bat ako natagalan sa CR. I just made an alibi.
I can't describe in any words what I feel right now. Uminom ulit ako ng alak upang maibsan ang nararamdaman hanggang sa wala na ako may naramdaman.
"She's wasted na." Irah cautioned.
Hindi ko na alam . Ang alam ko lang nahihilo ako at gusto ko na lamang matulog at makalimot sa gabing pagtataksil at kagagahan ko.
"The boys already left and Andrew is pretty wasted din ate. Intake daw ulit si Lolo kanina and they came to check. Sinundo sila ni Manong Isko kanina." Irah explained.
" Call Axel, tell him his fiancee needs him. He'll understand." Ate Desire instructed.
That's the last thing I have ever remember. Nagising ako sa hindi pamilyar na kwarto.
Nagulat ako ng may biglang yumakap sa akin ng mahigpit. Iba na rin ang suot kong damit.
How come I am dressed in white polo wearing a boxer short?!
Nilingon ko kung sino ang yumayakap sa akin. It's Axel.
Dahil sa pagkabigla ko ay nakurot ko ito ng malakas.
" Aray!" aniya.
"Axel! Why am I in your place?! Did we t-two d-did it?" Nauutal kong saad.
I panicked. Ni hindi nga kami nag-uusap sa social gatherings, ano na lang ang sasabihin niya? That I'm easy to get?
" Calm the fuck down, Amora." aniya.
"Really, Morelli? You expect me to calm down? Just tell me what happened okay. I passed out in Fiasco Club with my cousins." I panicked.
He let out a sigh. Even though I am not looking at him, I can sense him smirking. I am damned.
" Alright, I'll tell you." he calmly said.
"Hurry up, I'm listening." I demanded.
" Desire had to fetch his son that night. Andrew is pretty drunk too and Irah got to bring him home. They called me and entrusted me in taking care of you." He explained.
"Then how did we end up in the same bed and why am I wearing this?" I said pointing to the white polo that I am wearing.
He looked at me. " You puked on your dress. Kailangan kitang bihisan and you don't have to worry, there's nothing I can see."he blurted out.
Nasapak ko siya nang wala sa oras. I don't have a massive boobs just like the other girls.
" Jerk!" ani ko.
Humagalpak ito ng tawa. Namangha ako sa aking nakita. Ngayon ko lamang ito nakitang tumatawa . Napansin niya yata ang aking pagkamangha kaya binawa niya ang kaniyang mga ngiti.
"You also demanded me to stay. That's why I am here. I was planning to sleep in the sofa."he explained.
"Did I?" I said.
I remembered what happened last night. Brett and I are over, for good. The woman that he bedded is familiar. I saw her working in our company the same depart as Brett.
It is one of the girls that liked him. I tried to contact my best friends but maybe they are still asleep. I spaced out again.
"Amora, breakfast is ready." he declared.
I thanked him and we both peacefully ate the food that he prepared. I glanced at the interior. So he's staying in condo.
" Why are you staying here?" I asked.
Kumunot noon nito. He was confused with my question.
" I mean... you have massive house near here." I added.
Nakita ko kung paano nag-iba ang timpla ng modo niya. Hindi na ako umimik pa.
"If I ask you who is Brett, won't you get offended?" he asked.
Biglang bumalik ang sakit nang nararamdaman ko. Nagpakawala ang mga mata ko ng luha.
" I can trust you naman besides ikakasal naman tayo. Mabuti na yung walang tinatago sayo." I blurted.
I need someone to listen to me. Upang maibsan man lang nang kaunti yung sakit.
I saw him looking at me attentively. I can see that he is willing to listen. He cupped my hands as if he was telling me it's okay to feel this way.
" I broke up with my former boyfriend not because we're getting married but because I saw him last night having sex with someone else." I said.
" I decline his marriage proposal at first but I was willing to take risk last night. " I added.
He hugged me. It is what I am longing for. Someone who understand my pain. Someone that is here to listen. It is good to let out what I feel for the first time.
