"dad i want to go home"
"you're on home now" Dad response with bored tone.
He's sitting on his swivel chair while doing his works he didn't even bother to look at me, he's still focusing on his laptop.
"i mean in Philippines, I'm so bored here. I have no friends here in U.S"
"you have no friends in Philippines either, why don't you go with your cousins. Im busy! Can't you see it."
"Da-"
"shut up queira, or I'm going to throw you out of here"
Lumabas na ako sa office ni daddy at pumunta sa living room
Ugh what am i going to do now, i have nowhere to go or doing such a fvcking anythings.
"hey, Queira" oh they're here, my cousins are here.
"you're dad called us" jozayne said
"actually we're going to mall" shone
"many people do online shopping nowadays, you have phones and internet, why dont you do it." i said
"see?, that's why you're bored here. You don't even go to hang out." shone
"okay fine " i said with bored tone, pagkatapos kong magbihis dumiretso agad kami sa mall.
"Queira look at this, bagay sayo" tinignan ko ang hawak hawak niyang tube top na rainbow. "susuotin mo to mamaya sa club" nakangising sabi ni shone
Shone is talkative while jozayne is moody sometimes cold, sometimes jolly
"ayaw ko niyan, masiyadong maiksi" pag angal ko kay shone
"sus pakipot kapa, dito sa Amerika kahit anong isuot mong lumabas walang mag jujudge sayo unlike sa pilipinas na kahit hanggang tuhod ang short mo sasabihan ka nang pokpok. My ghad Queira its been 4 years simula ng umalis tayo sa pilipinas and yet di ka parin nakakamove on huh?"
"una at hindi sa huli wag mong i compare ang Amerika sa Pilipinas dahil magkaiba ang ating kultura, pangalawa hindi talaga ako nagsusuot ng tube top. Okay? Mas gugustuhin ko pang mag suot ng mahabang dress papuntang club kaysa naman diyan no?"
"hey, You two shut up. Stop arguing with your nonsense topic I can't relate. " si jozayne na kanina pa tahimik, hindi siya marunong at makaintindi ng tagalog dahil ipinanganak siya dito sa Florida USA
"we don't care if you're not relating to our topic, why don't you study on how to speak and understand Tagalog so that you can blend with us when we're talking with our language. You're the one who need to adjust, not us, hmm?" si shone na parang naiinis na, ayaw na ayaw kasi niya yung pinipigilan siya at pinapakai alaman.
"then why did you brought me here?"
"I didn't. You just came with yourself to join us, remember."
Uh oh, palagi silang nagaaway pero agad agad din namang magbabati actually mas close pa sila sa isat isa kaysa saakin eh.
"just came with myself huh?. Then I'm going home now, since I came here with all by myself. "
"Go ahead!" nakangising sambit ni shone.
Naglakad na papalayo si jozayne at tinignan ko si shone na tumtawa lang.
"what's wrong with you, you hurting her"
"nah, I'm just kidding her. Let's just wait until she come back "
"paano ka nakakasigurado?"
Ipinakita niya saakin ang palad niya na may susi
"what do you mean by that?"
"it means I'm having her keys,"
"how?" nagtatakang tanong ko
"simple. I just grab it in her pants" she said with head held high.
"hey, motherfvcker. My key!" wika ni jozayne na parang pagod na. Well, nakakapagod naman talaga.
"look, I don't mean to say that. I just let my emotion lead my thoughts, I just don't want to anybody stop me from talking and..... Jozayne.... I'm sorry" shone
"nah. it's fine, I understand"
"so.... Let's go now, I'm hungry" I said to stop this awkward conversation.
"I'm going home now, dad called me. He said I need to be right there in five minutes"
"five minutes? Are you kidding?! We arrived here in 1 hour and you're going home with five minutes?!"
"dad called me last twenty-five minutes when we arrived here and I spend ten minutes with you and I went to parking lot with six minutes, back and forth. I chit-chat again with you in one minutes And I'm going to parking lot again in three minutes, so I have remaining five minutes more"
Bigla nalang niyang hinablot ang susi sa palad ni shone na nakatulala at naglakad paalis.
"Queira, sa tingin ko in advance na tayong pupunta sa hospital" si shone na nakaitingin parin sa nang galingan ni jozayne kanina.
"let's go?" tumango lang siya at naglakad na. Jozayne is a racer, so she definitely drive with 1km per second. Just kidding
Nakarating na kami sa parking lot at nakisakay ako kay shone. I didn't brought my car kase tinatamad ako.
Akmang papaandarin na niya ang sasakyan "wait, ... Do you know what hospital it is?"
"oh... We'll just wait for a call then?"
"yeah, punta muna tayo café"
Bumaba kami ulit sa kotse at pumunta sa café.
Habang sumisipsip ako ng kape, ay may nahagip ang aking mata.
This man in black looks strange. He used black cap, mask, sunglass, leather jacket and black pants. But damn it's cool, his outfit is attractable. At hindi ko alam kung nag aassume lang ako pero parang nakatingin siya sa table namin.
"hey, anong tinitingin tingin mo diyan?" tanong ni Shone
"look at the man in black, over there Shone" sabi ko ng hindi nagpapahalata
"where?!" sabi niya ng palingon lingon at tumayo pa para mahanap ang lalake, kaya hinila ko siya pabalik sa upuan niya baka mahalata kami.
"hey bast*rd!, wag kang magpahalata!"
Tinignan ko ulit yung lalaki ngunit wala na siya sa piyesto niya kanina
"Ayan tuloy, wala na siya" sabi ko
"masiyado kang aggressive, people nowaday loves wearing black Queira"
Buglang nagring ang phone ni Shone at sinagot naman agad. Linoud speaker pa niya
"what hospital it is?" tanong agad niya kahit dipa nagsalita yung nasa kabilang linya.
"Hey Shone, ca we meet at heavenlycious hotel" boses ng lalaki na may mapang akit na boses
"who's this?" tanong ni shone ngunit diko na narinig ang sagot ng lalaki, dahil in off na niya na ang loudspeaker "Manginig ka!".... "i said, you're b*tch motherfvcker!!" Sabi niya sabay patay sa tawag
"sino yon Shone?"
"its one of my stalker" Sabi niya na malungkot ang tinig " lets go home Quiera" sabi niya na parang napapagod na
"okay" sabi ko, nang nakarating na kami sa parking lot..."ako na mag dri-drive Shone"
"you sure?"
"yup"
"okay"
As i drive way back home, Shone asleep.
Nang malapit na kami sa bahay, may nakita akong dalawang kotse na nagbanggaan
"oh...My....God nakalimutan namin si Jozayne " nilingon ko si Shone para gisingin ngunit mahimbing ang tulog niya kaya di ko na siya ginising pa
Lumabas ako sa kotse at nahagip agad ng mga mata ko si Jozayne na nakikipagtalo sa tatlong lalaki. Buti nalang hindi siya nasaktan pero yung lalaki na nasa gitna ay parang napilay ata paa niya
"Aba aba mga walang hiyang lalaki ang to ah"
"hey Jozayne" tawag ko sakaniya at nilingon agad ako ng tatlong lalaki
"thanks God Queira you're here..... " nang binanggit ni Jozayne ang pangalan ko, nahagip ng mata ko ang pagkagulat ng isang lalaki sa kabila
Nilingon ko siya at hindi ako makapaniwala na makikita ko na naman ang nagiisang bestfriend ko sa Pilipinas
"Mon?"
