Somebody Else's Fairytale

Eighteen

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

:o Grabe, para naman siyang pusa kung maglakad, hindi ko manlang nafeel na paparating na siya. Tapos kung makapagsalita naman parang may ginagawa kaming hindi maganda ni Waki. tss.

"Of course Pare, pasensya na kung mejo matagal ko nahiram si Happy sayo. Sige Happy, una na ako ah. Salamat."

Nakaalis na si Waki pero hindi pa rin nagsalita si Iago. grabe, di man lang nagpasalamat o nag goodnight.

Long awkward silence. Hindi siya umiimik at mukang sobrang seryoso hangang sa makabalik kami sa hotel.

Nung nasa lobby na kami nakita ko si Waki na may kaharap na isang bote ng whisky sa bar. Lalapitan ko sana siya kaya lang biglang hinawakan ng mahigpit ni Iago ang braso ko.

"Tara na, gusto ko na magpahinga." :? napatingin lang ako sa kanya at napilitang sumunod. May nagawa ba ako? Bakit parang galit siya?

Pagsakay namin ng elevator sinara na niya agad, hindi na nga niya pinansin yung lalaking nakita namin na hahabol sana.

"Nagmamadali ka ba? Sana hinintay na natin yung lalaki." sinabi ko na lang para mejo mabawasan ang awkwardness.

"I should've known there's something goin on between you two."

o___() hanudaw? something going on? what the hell is this man talking about? makaka something going on pa ba ako eh siya na nga lang ang laman ng utak ko. -__-

Sa sobrang pagkashock at pagkamangha ko sa sinabi niya, napatingin lang ako sa kanya, as in with that hilarious look on my face at nakanganga.

"W-wha--" bago ko pa man natapos ang hindi makapaniwalang "what" ko, nakasinghal na siya.. "DON'T YOU DARE DENY IT! DON'T LIE!"

:O Who is this man? wala pa nga akong sinasabi, LIE na agad? Hindi ba pwedeng magsasalita lang muna?

Hindi na lang ako nagsalita. Parang biglang umakyat lahat ng init sa ulo ko. nakaka bwisit. Bahala siya sa buhay niya. May topak siya. Masama na bang dumamay sa kaibigan ngayon? what is he trying to say? Na may ginagawa kaming masama ni Waki? Grabe. The nerve of this man. >:(

Pagbukas ng elevator, hindi ko na siya hinintay, nagmamadali akong naglakad papunta sa room namin. Pero ganun din, pagdating sa tapat ng pinto napilitan pa rin akong hintayin siya dahil nakalimutan ko na nasa kanya pala yung susi >.>

Pagbukas ng pinto dali dali akong pumunta sa kama para kunin ang kumot at unan ko at ilagay sa couch. Sa sobrang inis ko muntik ko pang matabig yung lampshade. Nang inaayos ko na ang tutulugan ko, lumapit siya.

"I'm sorry."

Sorry? pero sa tono niya parang ako pa yung may kasalanan. Ano yun? sorry na labas sa ilong? sorry for what? Ganun ganun lang? Sorry? Ni hindi niya muna pinagisipan yung sinabi niya eh.

"Sorry?! Sorry for acting a jerk to me? Take your sorry and leave me alone! >:(" saglit siyang natigilan, tapos nagtiim bagang. And something I'm not sure crossed his eyes. I don't know if it's pain or anger. I really don't care anymore.

"I'm not sorry for being a jerk. That sorry was for hurting your feelings." Grabe, talagang hindi siya sorry na jerk siya noh? Edi okay, salamat na lang sa pagkonsidera niya na nasaktan ako.

"yeah right." I said sarcastically

Then he snapped "I just don't like seeing you with another man!" he almost savagely pulled back his hair with his hands "At saka bakit kailangang dun pa sa madilim na parte kayo magusap?! >:("

w-whaa. whoaa. The f*cking nerve of this man to insult me this way.>:(

"WHAT.ARE.YOU.TRYING.TO.SAY.IAGO?" I said coldly. Nanginginig na talaga ako sa galit.

"God." napalakad lakad na siya sa room. Now I can say we're both really really pissed. nakakatatlong beses na niyang sinabunutan ang sarili niya at huminga ng malalim "I am not trying to imply anything. My point is I just didn't like what I saw."

"WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT? Damn it! we were just talking! I was just helping him out." unti unti na akong lumakad sa kanya, sinusubukang pasukan ng sense ang isip niya sa pagsigaw.

"That was not what I saw! I saw you hugging each other and god know what could have happen next if I wasn't there!"

"OH.MY.GOD....YOU...YOU Sonofa@##$" this time nakalapit na ako ng tuluyan at pinagsusuntok ang dibdib niya.

"STOP ACTING LIKE A FREAKIN JEALOUS BOYFRIEND!" Sigaw ko habang sinusuntok siya. Tapos marahas niyang kinuha ang kamay ko para tumigil ako sa pagsuntok sa dibdib niya.

"I AM JEALOUS!!. AND I AM YOUR BOYFRIEND!" >:(

>___<

o___()

Marahas kong binawi ang kamay ko sa kanya at umatras ng bahagya. Nagseselos? bakit? dahil naapakan ang pagkalalaki niya? tsk.

"Wow." I said sarcastically and clapped. "Please enlighten me, because the last time I checked, I don't have any boyfriend. And all we are is a set up. Just you and me in this situation because of your fvking urge to have your dearly beloved ex back!"

lumapit ako sa kanya at dinuro duro ang dibdib niya.

"SO DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND WHOM I CAN TALK TO BECAUSE ALL WE ARE IS A FVKING SHOW!"

"AND I DON'T REALLY GIVE A DAMN IF YOU'RE JEAL----" I wasn't able to finish what I'm saying because he grabbed my hand and kissed me hard.

>___<

@___@

o___()

I was dumbfounded. And hurt. And shocked..and sort of liking it :/ then he stopped.

He stopped just for us to catch our breath and then this time, he showered butterfly kisses on my face.

"I'm sorry for hurting you...and getting you into this mess."

Then he kissed me again, gently this time. Lumipad na naman ang isip ko, lutang na naman ang pakiramdam ko and I was again lost in his kiss.

Wala na akong pakealam, parang hiblang naglaho na lahat ng galit at inis ko sa kanya. Wala na akong naiisip kundi ang halik niya at kahit pilit umaayaw ang natitirang katinuan ko at sinasabing hindi ito tama wala pa rin akong nagawa.

He continued on kissing me and he was so good at it. He knew what to do to make me lose my mind. Then he slowly led me into the bed and gently laid my body down, with him on top of me.

"Please don't regret this in the morning" I looked him in the eye, and that moment I was sure it was love that I saw. And just like the first time we kissed, I trusted him.

And then he did something I wasn't ready for.

He stopped, kissed my forehead and uttered his infamous line.

"I'm sorry."

Sorry? :'( That's the last word I'd want to hear now. Sorry for what? For almost committing a mistake?

I didn't answer back, I just pushed him and faced the other side of the bed. Pumikit na lang ako para pigilan ang nagbabadyang mga luha ko.

I feel so bad. How can he do that? How can he make me fall that hard so easy? act like he loves me too then leave me hanging?

Tumayo siya at lumabas ng kwarto.

I've never felt so alone in my whole existence until today.
