Caldwill Enzo
TWO WEEKS later...
"Oh! Caldwill! That's it!" I stop from kissing her and cupping her breast!
“Fuck!” I cussed when Marinel’s face suddenly appeared on my mind.
"Get out!" I said as I walked away from her. She's almost half naked. Kitang-kita ko sa mukha niya ang pagkabitin at pagkainis.
"Go!" I yelled.
"Bastard!" I just rolled my eyes and I hear the door slammed. Bumukas ito ulit at iniluwa si Andy. I rested my back on the sofa and raised my left brow to him. He smirked and crossed his arms as he leaned on the wall.
"Ilang babae ba ang binitin mo this past two weeks?" I blew some air.
"I am not counting." I massage my nape. Lumapit naman si Andy at umupo sa kaharap kong sofa.
"Is it Marinel?" Napatingin ako sa kanya at napatiim bagang.
"It's... Not." He chuckled.
"Of course! Hindi siya ang dahilan nang 'di pagpasok mo sa trabaho. Hindi siya ang dahilan kung bakit kung sino-sinong babae ang ikinakama mo para lang makalimutan siya at hindi rin siya ang dahilan kung bakit nagkakaganyan ka ngayon."
"Shit! Shit! Alright! Just quit it! I... I still can't forget what happened that night. It was like spinning and spinning around my head!" Andy laughed at me.
"So? Sasabihin mo na sa akin kung ano ang nangyari that day?" Napahilamos ako ng mukha at tumango. Hindi ko kasi naikuwento sa kanya ang lahat ng details. I just told him I saw Marinel at the conference where I attended last two weeks ago, just that.
"I slept with her," sagot ko.
"You what!? You slept with her like nothing happens!?" Napatayo ako at napahilamos ng mukha.
"Nabigla lang ako nang makita ko siya. She refused at first but well I have my ways. She let me, not just one round but more than that." Bigla naman niya akong pinagbabato ng kung anong madampot niya. Amusement are all over on his face.
"You maniac! What the hell are you thinking Caldwill! Pinalayas mo si Marinel three years ago and now you easily fuck her like that. Oh come on!" I rolled my eyes.
"I miss her! Nagulat at nabigla lang ako but still I am angry with her. I still have issues with her and it doesn't mean that even if I slept with her that night, I am forgiving her. That's a big no!"
"You're ridiculous! Iyan pa rin ba ang rason mo? Bakit ba kasi ayaw mong puntahan at kausapin si Sister Carmen para malaman mo ang totoo," aniya. Agad akong napailing.
"No way! I will not going to do that. I know, she's just pretending everything! She scheme this!" He smirked.
"Really? Bakit hindi niya rin ako maalala? Remember, you and I are always going to that orphanage every weekends. Palagi tayong nagdo-donate ng mga laruan doon." I was caught off guard.
"Puwede ba Andy huwag mo siyang ipagtanggol. She scheme everything. And oh? Your Ms. Universe is now a pediatrician. Just wow! Akalain mo 'yon? Doktor na rin pala siyang kagaya ko and maybe she have her sugar daddy para makatapos siya."
"Woah! That's below the belt! Stop accusing Marinel lalo pa't wala siya rito para ipagtanggol ang sarili niya. Three years kang wala sa buhay niya and you don't know anything maliban sa pagiging isa na siyang doktor ngayon." I sighed.
"Alright!" sang-ayon ko na lamang.
"Kung ako sa iyo ay pupuntahan ko si Sister Carmen," pasaring niyang muli.
"No way!" mariing sagot ko.
"Matuto ka mag-tide bro, huwag puro pride."
"Shut up!" sita ko at napatawa.
"Well seriously, bakit ba ayaw mo?" Kinuha ko ang v-neck shirt ko na nasa sahig at isinuot ito.
"Because I have nothing to ask for," sagot ko.
"Wala ba talaga o ayaw mo lang malaman ang totoo? O kaya naman natatakot ka na baka nagkamali ka ng akalang niloloko at ginagamit ka lang ni Marinel. Alin ba ro'n?" Hindi ako agad nakapagsalita dahil sa sinabi niya.
"Stop interrogating me Andy," I said.
"I am not. Well I guess silent means yes is a real talk." I despair.
"I am hurt Andy and I am tired of this. Bahala siya sa buhay niya. She fooled me once and I am not letting her fooled me twice!" Napailing naman si Andy ng kanyang ulo.
"Mahal mo pa," aniya. Natigilan naman ako.
"Lust," depensa ko.
"Oh? Maniniwala na rin pala ako sa kasabihang tulak ng bibig, kabig ng dibdib."
"You are unbelievable!"
"Not me!" aniya kasabay nang pag-iling at pagkibit ng balikat.
"I hate gold digger!" I said.
"Woah! Stop it dude! That's below by the belt again. Marinel is not what you were thinking. At alam mo 'yon. Kahit na may tuition fee at allowance siyang nakukuha sa iyo dati ay hindi 'yon sapat para magbuhay prinsesa siya gaya ng inaakala mo. She even avail scholarship para lang magtipid. Nag-aaral siya sa umaga, nagtatrabaho naman siya sa gabi. Ilang beses din siya nakakatulog sa labas ng bahay na inuupahan nila dati dahil palaging lagpas sa due date ang bayad niya. Minsan ay napuputulan din sila ng kuryente at tubig. You've been there and saw her place before. Nakatira siya sa squatter area malapit sa bahay namin. So don't even say that again just because you are angry with her." Napaismid akong muli.
"Are we going to argue this over and over Andy? I'm done with her." Napatayo naman siya at napamaywang.
"We're just talking anyway. Well, I won't force you anymore. But if something happens, don't you forget I've warned you." Napakunot ako ng aking noo.
"Is there something you're not telling me?" Umiling naman siya.
"Kung may malaman man ako. Hindi ko sasabihin sa iyo. Learn your lesson from your own mistake Caldwill." Tumalikod na ito. Bigla namang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa nito si Moana.
"Hi Andy!" bati nito.
"Hi bitch!" Andy said as he walked out.
"Ang sama niya talaga sa akin," maktol pa nito.
"Mainit lang ang ulo niya. What are you doing here?" She smiled at me from ear to ear.
"Hinanap ka ni Mama kahapon, hindi ka ba magpapaliwanag?" lambing niya.
"Nope. Why would I? You are not my girlfriend Moana." Ang hirap sa babaeng 'to ay lagi niyang ipinagsisiksikan ang sarili niya sa akin, which is making me pissed. Para na naman siyang maiiyak.
"Bakit ba hindi mo ako makuhang mahalin!? Dahil na naman ba kay Marinel!" Naigting ang panga ko sa sinabi niya. Nahigit ko siya sa braso at mariing hinigpitan ito.
"Stop putting her name in this situation!" Frightened are all over on her face.
"Let go of me!" I loosen up.
"Get lost Moana! Huwag mo akong istorbohin kahit ngayon lang!" Agad naman siyang napatakbo palabas ng condo ko. Diretso ako sa fridge at kumuha ng beer. Kahit na masiyado pang maaga para uminom ay hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko, lalo pa ngayon. Ano ba kasing nangyayari sa akin at bakit ginawa ko kay Marinel iyon. That day when I saw her at the conference? I can't deny how much I missed her. I've been longing for her but then when every time I see her, bumabalik lahat ng sakit, lahat ng galit at pagkamuhi ko sa kanya. People thinks, it was my fault but in the first place, nasaktan lang ako ng sobra-sobra. I've reached my limitation and boom! All I can feel now is anger. But I am still wondering why she let me be with her in bed. I can still imagine how tight she was. Wala ba siyang naging nobyo sa loob ng tatlong taon? Napasabunot ako sa aking buhok at napahilamos ng mukha gamit ang dalawang palad ko. Frustration are freaking me out! I can't even think properly simula nang mangyari 'yon sa aming dalawa. God! Don't tell me I still love her! That can't be happening! No way! Dinampot ko ang susi ng sasakyan ko and immediately wear my hospital uniform. I need to focus on my work.
