Bitter Sweet
Nakauwi na ako ng apartment at si Mhackoy naman ay umuwi narin. It was afternoon already. Just when I'm about to go to the kitchen Gideon: Stop!!
Akhi: Hey what's going on?
Gideon: Hindi ka pwedeng pumunta sa kusina.
Akhi: At bakit naman?
Gideon: Basta! Makakapasok ka lang at dinner time.
Akhi: Ha? baki---
Gideon: Basta hindi pwede.
Akhi: Okay okay! relax! I'm going to my room now.
As I entered the room Gab wasn't there. I wonder where he is? Anyway I went to my bed at umidlip nalang ako.
I woke up and it's already 7pm. Nagugutom ako kaya lumabas ako ng kwarto papunta sa kusina. There I saw Gab and by the looks of it, it seems like he was cooking adobong manok.
Gab: Gutom ka na ba? Heto oh. I cooked it for everyone pero for some reason busog na busog pa daw sila. So I guess this is all for you.
Hmmmm sa pagkaka alala ko hindi sya marunong magluto.
Akhi: Okay sige gutom na gutom narin tlga ako eh.
Kumuha ako ng ulam at kanin then I started eating and OMG! gosh ang sama ng lasa! Parang babaligtad ang sikmura ko sa sobrang alat na hindi ko alam kung bakit medyo mapait. Nakatingin sakin si Gab obviously waiting for me to give a comment.
Gab: So ano? kamusta yung luto ko?
Naawa ako. I mean makikita namang nag effort tlga sya para sa lutuing ito. So kahit nahihirapan akong kainin I told him na masarap ang luto nya and I tried so hard to finish it up.
Akhi: *Ugh*
Umiinom ako ng tubig kada subo when finally naubos na...
Akhi: That was delicious. Burppp
Gab: Really?? Here have some more!
He looks too happy.
Akhi: Oh no no no! I am so full and um... *Faking a yawn* Wow look at the time? I'm really sleepy na. I've got to go sleep.
Gab: Kagagaling mo lang sa tulog antok ka na ulit??
Akhi: *Ooops! wrong excuse* Eeeeeh um medyo pagod parin tlga ako eh. Hehehe
Gab: So kamusta naman ang date nyo ni Mhackoy?
*He's now washing dishes*
Akhi: It was nice actually.
Gab: Pero mas masarap parin ang lutong bahay dba? Favorite mo nga ang adobong manok na luto ng lola mo eh.
Akhi: Yes that maybe true. . .
After a while...
Akhi: Gab, I know you were there. That was a really poor disguise. Why are you spying on us anyway?
Gab: I was not! napadaan lang ako tapos nag pahinga ako.
Akhi: Talaga lang ha? well anyway Mhac decided to stop courting me. Friends nalang kami.
Nakita ko syang ngumiti saglit and then got back to a serious face.
Gab: Ah ganun ba? Good for him.
Akhi: What do you mean by that?
Gab: Kung sakaling magiging kayo, he's gonna be miserable. You're difficult.
Akhi: What??? I am difficult? How about you?? YOU'RE difficult!
Gab: And why is that?!
Akhi: Because you're always doing things that makes me think that you're jealous or something! You keep teasing me tapos magmamatigas ka bigla! One moment you're so sweet and then next you're gonna be a total jerk at aawayin mo ko!
I don't even know why those words came out of my mouth. Nabigla siguro ako. Bakas din sa itsura ni Gab ang pagkabigla.
*Face palm*
Magdamag kaming nasa kusina habang naghuhugas sya ng mga pinggan. Ako naman ay nakaupo lang doon. Wala kang ibang maririnig kung di yung agos ng tubig at yung plates na hinuhugasan nya. After he finished he said
Gab: I think I'm going out.
Then umalis sya ng kusina at hindi parin ako tumatayo. I heard him enter the room and a few minutes later he came out again and then headed outside.
Pagkalabas nya dun na ako pumasok sa kwarto feeling awful. I shouldn't have said that. I slept through the feeling. While Gab is outside at kasama nya si Harold.
*At a bar*
Gab and Harold are taking shots. Maya maya pa nagsalita si Gab.
Gab: Pare, bakla ba ako?
Parang nabulunan si Harold sa narinig nya.
Harold: Ha? Anu ba namang klaseng tanong yan tol?
Gab: *Sigh* Ewan ko ba. Normal lang ba magkagusto ang isang lalaki sa isang bakla?
Harold: Pre pasensya tang*na pero di ko pa nasusubukan yan kaya di ko alam ang pakiramdam at di ko alam kung normal lang iyon.
Gab: *Sigh* Ewan ko ba kung anong nagyayari sakin.
Harold: Pare kilala kita noon pa man mga binata pa tayo. Sa sobrang chick boy mo imposible yang sinasabi mo. Ang dami mo nang natikmang babae at ang dami mo nang pinaiyak.
Gab: Naguguluhan na ako.
*Mahabang katahimikan*
Harold: Mukhang seryoso ka ha? Alam mo, kung tunay yang nararamdaman mo, wala ka din namang magagawa kahit pigilan mo. Sa totoo nga nyan sa tagal nating magkakilala at magkasama ngayon lang kita nakitang ganyan.
Gab: *Sigh longer than the usual* inom pa tayo. Siguro makakalimutan ko din 'to.
Harold is getting a hint na ako ang tinutukoy ni Gab.
It's already 1am, nagising ako. Pumunta ako sa kusina to get some water when I heard the front door open.
Akhi: Ha? Sino kaya yun? Sobrang late na ah?
Then pumunta ako sa sala and I found Harold inaalalayan si Gab. They're both really drunk pero mas lasing si Gab na halos tulog na sya at obviously di na kayang tumayo mag isa.
Harold: Akhi! Pakialalayan naman si Gab papunta sa kwarto.
Agad akong lumapit at inalalayan si Gab just before ako makalayo kay Harold hinawakan nya ang balikat ko.
Harold: Akhi....
Akhi: Bakit?
Harold: ........ Wala. Ingatan mo si Gab.
Okay that was strange.
Nang makapasok na kami sa kwarto inihiga ko na si Gab pero bago ko magawa yun nagsalita sya
Gab: Akhi, ikaw ppppula yan. she she she. ssssuulammmmat ha?
Akhi: Gab humiga ka na.
Gab: Aaaaiiyyoko hik! Dito ka lang.
Akhi: Anu ba? Magpahinga ka na sobrang lasing mo n---
He suddenly held the back of my head and he pulled me into a deep and hard kiss. It lasted for about 5 seconds and then I pushed him away hard enough para mahiga sya.
Oh my god... He kissed me... It felt strange, I don't know. Mixed ng pagkabigla ko at the same time I really really liked it.
Then he started snoring. Nakatulog na sya. Ngayon ko lang napansin he was holding my right hand pala close to his chest.
My hands can feel his breathing, his heartbeat, the warmth and manly feel of his grip. My heart is pounding so fast. God I am so in love with this guy.
Then I looked at his face. He's just so handsome. He's got that kind of look na sooo irresistible. If he wasn't such a jerk at the beginning siguro instantly that time nagkagusto na ako sa kanya. I caressed his cheeks.
Then I whispered
Akhi: I love you Gab.
But I know he couldn't hear it anymore. After a while I kissed his forehead and let go of his hand then nagpunta na ako sa bed ko and I let out a very long sigh.
Haaaaayyyyyy
