DREAMT THE HYACINTH GAME
***
I can't fucking decide what to wear. Nag-aya na naman kasi ng gala itong si Bianca.
Namiss daw niya E.K. kaya naman pupunta kami today. I doesn't have a car yet so ang gagamitin namin na transpo is yung car ng kuya niya.
Buti pumayag si kuya Ivan. Alam kasi niya na puro kami kapalpakan ni Bianca pagdating sa driving.
Ginayuma ba ni gaga at pumayag si kuya Ivan.
Well thank you nalang talaga kasi buti nga may transpo kami kaysa naman sa wala.
Hustle kaya kapag ganoon.
Buti pa kuya niya maaasahan unlike my dakilang kapatid na walang ginawa kung hindi umepal. Porket may sariling condo na at porsche, feeling artista. Akala mo kung sino e.
Ang hangin grabe.
I decided to wear a white tank top and a maong shorts partnered with my white sandals and designer sling bag.
I just waited for her to pick me up. Siya na daw kasi bahala so I just followed her.
I was about to text her and complain kasi napakatagal niya, pinaghihintay niya pa talaga ako. She arrived.
I just immediately get in sa car. No need to say goodbyes kay mom since she knows about it.
Gusto pa nga niya sumama e. But dad insisted. He wanted her to accompany him at the board meeting later.
Ewan ko. I just don't know para saan yon. I'm not interested first of all.
Maboboring din naman ako dito kaya naman sumama nalang ako kay gaga.
"What? Do you have bucket list ng mga rides na want mo itry later. Ako kase I have one." She sarcastically said while her hand playing the steering wheel.
Sige kapag kami talaga nabangga sinasabi ko. Pakilakasan para tegok agad. Choz.
"I wanna try yung ano yung lumilipad na ano. Wait... what does it called na ba?" I opened my phone to search it sa google.
Ano ba kasi 'yon?
The lumilipad na ano? The fuck. What kind of brain do I fucking have at nakalimutan ko na naman.
I was about to say it then I forgot it agad-agad.
"Alam ko na what does that one called." She chuckles as she gaze at me.
Bigla akong umirap. Alam ko naman na kalokohan na naman nasa isip mitong bruha na 'to.
"What?" Pabalang na sagot ko looking straight sa road.
"Flying saucers." She laughs pointing me her index finger.
Sabi na nga ba e. Putangina talaga neto.
Even google doesn't understand what I mean. Walang kwenta.
I was concentrating maalala lang 'yon. But how can I? Sa lakas ng tawa ng katabi kong baliw, 'wag nalang.
Apparently our biyahe was umabot ng 3 hours. Mas inuna pa kasi ni Bianca ang pag-chika bago mag-drive.
'Di ba? Napakagaling ng gaga.
Mas maaga sana kami nakarating if she only focuses on driving.
Napabuntong-hininga ako habang nag-lalakad sa likod niya, sinusundan siya.
She's even skipping while walling like a 4 years old kid.
While me, I just looked like her mom being stressed how naughty she was.
5 rides agad ang nasakyan ng gaga. I was so exhausted and tired. Wala naman kasi ako ibang nagawa kung hindi sundan lang siya.
I don't really have plan to ride one of the ano here. Its just so childish.
Imagine, A 17 years old girl riding one of the rides here na para bang bata. Hell, no way.
"Gago. Umupo naman tayo saglit. Pagod na pagod ako girl." Tinuro ko ang bench na nasa gilid.
Tumango naman ang gaga at inunahan pa akong makaupo.
Tell me nga, nakalimutan ko ba painumin ng gamot si Bianca?
She was so hyper and energetic today. I wonder why kaya.
We are in the middle of chika ng makaramdam ako ng gutom.
So sumenyas ako sa kanya at sinabihan siya na bibili lang ako ng foods sa gilid. I saw some stalls kasi maybe they sell some.
I was about to buy when I realize na I forget to bring my sling bag with me.
Wala akong pambayad. Punyeta naman, kung minamalas nga naman.
"What's yours?" A guy wearing a plain button down dress shirt partnered with his jeans approached me.
"Who the hell are you?" Tinaasan ko ito ng kilay nababadyang gulat din sa reaction ko.
I was the one na kinakausap niya right? Or maybe I'm wrong.
Nevermind.
"Just answer me. I'm fucking hungry and nagmamadali ako, okay? So just order what's yours, whatever that is. I'll pay." He stated.
Hindi ako tanga para tanggapin inaalok niya sa akin. First of all, I don't even know him.
Akala mo kung sino mag-salita. Politiko ka boy?
I hate it kapag nagkakautang ako ng loob. Kaya naman imbes na ngitian ko siya at tanggapin ang inaalok niya. I just rolled my eyes on him making him give me an amused smile.
Nag-lalakad ako palayo ng maramdaman ko ang presensya niya sa likod ko.
I glanced at him with my brows furrowed.
He immediately raised his hands while holding the snacks he bought kanina lang.
Maybe he's going the same way as I am kaya naman I just ignore it nalang.
I saw Bianca laughing at there knowing what happened. She even waved my bag.
Patago kong kinurot ang sarili habang naglalakad papalapit sa kanya.
"LJ, tagal mo dude!" One of the guys at the corner shouted.
They also waved at their friend na nasa likod ko lang. Parang mga timang at napakaingay pa nila. He just shrugged and run towards them. Nakita kong nabatukan pa siya at nagtatawanan ang iba.
He looked pissed and kahit sino naman.
Boys, I don't understand them.
"OMG!" Napatakip sa bibig si Bianca sa pagkukunwari nitong gulat.
"Katanga grabe." She looked at me na para bang hindi ito makapaniwala.
Hinampas ko siya gamit ang bag ko kaya naman bigla itong napailag at hinarang ang kamay.
She gestured me na sama na lang daw siya. Oo nga naman, mas mabuti para 'di na ako magpapakahirap magbitbit ng pagkain niya.
We wondered around nalang after we ate some snacks. Uuwi naman na kasi kami niyan kaagad. Gagabihin na kami kapag nagtagal pa kami dito ng kaunti.
She started the engine of the car nang mapagtanto na she lost her credit card. What the hell is happening.
Napakatangina lang at mawawala pa talaga niya credit card niya.
Napasapo ako sa ulo nang mapagtanto ang katangahan ng kaibigan. We called the authority para matulungan kami sa paghahanap.
Baka kasi abutin pa kami ng dekada dito at 'di pa namin mahanap iyong credit card niya. She's screwed lalo na what if ginamit pa ng nakapulot iyon?
What if they'll take advantage of it?
Damn, this girl...
"Hello ma'am. Nahanap na daw po yung credit card niyo." The guard suddenly approached and tell us.
Sumenyas siya na sundan namin siya papunta sa office. As soon as the guard opened the door for us, Nakita ko ang isa sa mga kasama ng guy na naencounter ko kanina.
I just rolled my eyes on him knowing na sa itsura palang niya ay hindi na mapagkakatiwalaan. He really looked like a joke.
I just stayed out of it since I'm not interested naman kaya umalis muna ako at bumalik nalang sa car. I prefer waiting her in here.
Biglang nabuhay ang diwa ko ng biglang sumulpot si Bianca at umupo na sa driver's seat. I just laugh at her looking so stressed right now.
Ayan kasi napakatanga. Pati ba naman credit card niya na mimissed place pa.
At least goals kami niyan. Parehong tanga.
"Tara! BGC tayo." Tuwang tuwang sabi nito sa akin over the phone.
Really? Nagawa pa niyang mag-aya. Teka nga. The day before kahapon, kagagaling lang namin sa E.K. tapos ngayon BGC naman.
"Putangina ka talaga e. Pass ako." I said casually.
"Maraming gwapo na mayaman doon." Panghihikayat niya sa akin.
As if naman sasama ako knowing na nandoon mga tipo ko. Dyan siya mamatay.
"I mean pass-sundo ako." I giggled as I put the call down.
Charot lang nag-bago isip ko. OMG? May isip ako?
Blessing kaya iyon kaya dapat 'di tinatanggihan. I was so excited kaya naman pumunta ako sa shower room to take a bath agad.
I wear my black off-shoulder crop top, I paired it with my skirt partnered with my black boots.
I let my hair down kaya naman 'di na ako nag-abalang ayusin pa ito. Magugulo din naman once na nalasing na si Bianca, syempre ako mag-uuwi sa gagang iyon so it is really a disaster.
Nagpadrive ako kay Kuya Jake, my cousin, papunta sa club na sinabi ni Bianca.
I saw her seating at the table. Siguro nagpareserve ang gaga.
She was wearing a bralette and a mom jeans paired with her heals and a hook earrings.
She's just looking so fine. As expected, nakabili na din siya ng drinks pero mga mild lang.
She knew na hindi pa kasi ako pwede uminom lalo na at 'di pa ako 18 niyan. Bawal sabi ni dad so she just ordered a cocktail for me.
Okay na din para sa akin iyon kasi ayoko tikman ang alak. I heard lalo na sa mga baguhan lang na hindi daw masarap ang lasa so big no for me.
Ng tumabi ako sa kanya. I can feel eyes everywhere watching us so I feel uncomfortable as fuck.
Inayos ko ang upo ko and I crossed my legs ng maconscious ako.
I was sipping at my drink ng may biglang lumapit nalasing na guy sa table namin. I can see na he's from his late 20's na. Mukhang matanda na kasi e.
"Wanna have some fun?" He smirked at me.
Agad akong umirap at umiling.
"Mag-lalaro lang tayo. Promise masaya doon." Pilit niya akong hinila papalapit sa kanya hanggang sa mapatayo na ako.
He's drunk.
Bianca looked so angry na and she stared at him to death making him feel bad and nag-back out ang gago.
He was about to let me go nang biglang may sumapak sa gago.
Bigla akong napatingin sa gawi ng lalaking nanapak and I can see that he's really familiar sa akin. Like I have seen him before somewhere else.
"Get your fucking hands off at my girl." His voice was so damn fucking cold and glared at the guy.
My girl my ass. Kapal ng mukha. Akala mo talaga kung sino e. Sarap niya sapakin, pasalamat siya wala ako sa mood.
Bianca happily opened her phone to record it at tumili pa ang gaga. What's her deal?
Is she already wasted na?
"Lakas! K-drama yata buhay mo mami!?" She giggles continuing to record what's happening.
I let a heavy sigh out. Dapat kasi binawalan ko na siya kanina pa at 'di na ako sumama. I regretted.
Nauto niya kasi ako e. We shouldn't have been in this trouble right now. It's all my fault.
The guy passed out because of his punch at wala pang ilang segundo ay lumapit na ang mga tropa niya para kunin siya. They even apologized on how he behave kanina especially sa akin.
They offered me a ride pauwi but the gago na katabi ko insisted. He said na siya nalang daw ang bahala sa amin.
"Don't even come back here especially kapag kayong dalawa lang ang magkasama. Too dangerous." He warned us.
"Dangerous mo mukha mo." Pabalang kong sagot habang intinatayo si Bianca sa kinauupuan niya, helping her to walk.
Kuya Jake texted me kasi na nandyan na siya to pick us up. I throw her at the back seat of the car and letting her sleep peacefully there.
I closed the door and ngayon ko lang napansin na he escorted us out pala kaya pala walang paharang harang sa daan namin.
Still I wanted to thank him for what he did kanina lang. He's kind pero nakakainis nga lang.
Ewan ko ba meron siyang aura na kinabibwisitan ko.
"Thank you." Plastik akong ngumiti sa kanya before I open the door of shotgun seat to get in in the car.
"Wouldn't you ask what's my name?"
"I would never ever bother myself lalo na sa mga useless stuffs okay?" Inis kong sabi sa kanya at sabay na umirap.
