Chapter 7
Will I Sing or I Will Sing?


I went home with this vexed feeling which kept on upsetting me.  Me?  As in only me? will sing in front of the class?  By next week?  Why me?  What have I done wrong to accept such a punishment?  For me performing in front of people is a chastisement!  I don't have the gutts!  It's like I'm just humiliating myself in front of people.  I have the feeling it wont turn out as something which is definitely, absolutely, purely, utterly, totally, and surely fine!  Naman eh!

After dinner and doing homeworks, I plunged into my room.  I think I made a mistake.  Why did I gave up arguing with them?  I should have demanded my justice!  It's my human right to choose what I want and don't want to do.  Hey, oo nga.  Ba't hindi ko yun na-i-banat sa kanila kanina?!

"eh ano naman kung sinabi mo yun? hindi ka ba makokonsensiya kung pati grade nila madamay? group work yun, remember? Kailangan niyo magtulungan kaya wag ka nang umangal noh!" I pontificated to myself.  I looked like some kind of a certified person talking to no one in particular.  Er..maybe I'm talking to someone..myself?

"hoy! para kang sira dyan! sino kausap mo? hangin?" Jelaine broke in laughing not even knocking at my door.  Maybe she did, I just didn't hear.

"yup, kausap ko si mr. and mrs. air pati yung anak nila na si wind.  Enjoy nga sila kausap eh.  Try mo minsan." I immediately thought as a comeback.  She raised her eyebrow and threw a you-already-caught-a-malignant-foolishness-syndrome gawp at me.  What should I suppose?

"no need, matino pa naman ako eh" she responded. "may phone call ka"

"sino?" I asked but she just turned her back and shrugged.

I stood up to go to our living room and reached for the phone. "hello? sino 'toh?"

"hello..it's Mike.." he answered back.

"oh..baket? pa'no mo nalaman landline namin?" I asked in a puzzled tone.

"nahanap ko sa internet..akalain mo yun? nandun kayo..sikat pala family mo eh." he joked.

"nye..ang corny" I deridingly commented.

"joke lang..nakuha ko kay Erlyn, tinext ko kanina" he went back to his normal tone.

"ba't ka napatawag?"

"mangangamusta lang..bakit? masama?"

"oo masama!"

"bakit naman? anong ginawa ko sa'yo?"

"basta! ano nga? seryoso na..ano sasabihin mo?"

"sasabihin ko lang sana na.." he paused.

"na? ano??". I demanded.

“my gusto sana akong sabihin sa’yo..” he started once more. “importante ‘toh para sa’kin, lalo na sa nararamdaman ko..kasi ano..” his voice toned down.

Ang tagal naman ng sasabihin nito!

"ano na?!"

"gusto na kita..










..bigyan ng binggo!" he laughed on the other line.

"ang corny mo talaga!"

"haay, hindi kita nahuli dun ah!  Akala ko magugulat ka sa sinabi ko eh."

"whatever! Ano na nga?!" I'm getting furious this time.

"ita-tanong ko lang kung anong song yung gusto mo para mahanap ko yung tabs.."

"ikaw na bahala.  Sige, bye"  I ended our conversation without even letting him reply.

Nasabi ko ba noon na isa siyang blessing?  Binabawi ko na!  He’s a nuisance! A menace!  I can't stand talking to him with my mood right now.  Nakakaasar eh!  Matapos akong pilitin sa ayaw kong gawin mang-aasar pa sa phone!

Nagpaalam ako sa parents ko na magkakaro'n kami ng practice bukas tapos bumalik ulit ako sa kwarto nang napansin kong may natanggap pala akong message sa cellphone.  Sino pa nga ba?  It's my so-called angel.

<angel q>: kamusta?

<ako>: badtrip ako eh!

<angel q>: bat naman? any prob?

<ako>: meron talaga! Pinipilit ba naman kasi ako ni Mike, classmate and class pres namin na gawin ko yung ayoko!

<angel q>: bat anong gusto niyang ipagawa sayo?ü

<ako>: pinapakanta n'ya ko for our group activity sa english. in front of the class! eh ayoko, nahihiya ako eh.

<angel q>: ahh.. y naman?  I'm sure magaling ka naman kumanta..ü

He's sure?   Err..  Pa'no mo nasabi yan eh hindi mo pa naman siguro ako naririnig noh!

<ako>: no! ur wrong! I'm not confident enough..

<angel q>: kailangan mo lang bumilib sa sarili mo. i know u can do it if u would just try. trust me, alam kong kaya mo yun..ü

Alam mong kaya ko?  Eh ako nga hindi ko alam na kaya ko eh..ba't ikaw alam mo??  Ikaw nalang kaya kumanta kapalit ko..angel naman kita diba? iligtas mo ko!!

<ako>: so u mean, i really should sing??

<angel q>: yup!ü

Waah.. pati siya hindi kumakampi sa'kin! angel ba talaga kita o ikaw yung demonyong kakampi ni Mike?! grr..

<ako>: ano ba! pati ba naman ikaw! is that really d right thing to do, huh?

<angel q>: i think it's not d right thing nor the wrong thing to do..u just have to try..ü think about this: if God gives u something u can do, why in God's name wouldn't u do it?ü  Basta, believe in urself lang..

I would make that as a part of my Life Guide.  Philosophy #8 , that is.

<ako>: tnx..ü

What a pep talk!  I must admit, it's rather effective.  His encouragements worked, kung sino man siya.

okay,  I made up my mind, wala na 'tong atrasan, kahit naman umatras pa 'ko sigurado namang itutulak pa rin ako ni Mike eh!

Not too later, doubt crossed my mind once again.

magagawa ko nga ba yun ng maayos?  ay! oo nga naman pala..  Naimbento pala yung word na "practice" noh?  Tama, magpapraktis kami..I will do my part kahit na napipilitan lang ako.  Sino nga naman ako para magreklamo..eh siya yung leader ng group!

Game na talaga.  "i will sing..may choice pa ba?!"

***

The next day, Mike kept on looking at me in a silly way especially when there’s free time and no teacher is around.  I don’t want the attention he’s giving me, it’s not normal anymore.

“problema mo ba?”  I started.

“wala..” he answered with a smile.

Pa-ngiti ngiti pa! “wala? bat kanina ka pa tingin ng tingin, huh?”

“pinagbabawal na ba ng batas na tumingin sa isang tao?” he crossed his arms and gazed at me more fixedly, still with his smile.

I made an are-you trying-me glare at him.  Lucky for me, his staring concentration didn’t wrecked at all.

“eh bat nakatitig ka na din sa’kin? naga-gwapuhan ka sa’kin noh?” he said grandly.

I just maintained glaring at him for almost three minutes.  He was still gazing, why won’t he give up?  After a while, I felt awkward and stopped glaring.

“talo ka pala eh!” he said confidently with a smirk.

Inirapan ko siya.  Naiinis na ‘ko.  Mahilig ba talaga ‘tong mambwisit?!  Ang feeling masyado!

“ang hangin naman dito!”  I answered back as I stood.

“uy!” he held my hand. “kaya ako tumitingin sa’yo kasi tyumityempo lang ako kung yayayain na ba kitang magpraktis..wala namang teacher eh..” he explained.

“mamayang dismissal nalang..’pag wala ng tao!” I furiously said.  I pulled my hand from his to loosen from his grip and sat at a bookshelf by the window.

At dismissal time, we waited until Mike, me, and Erlyn were the only people in the room.  I asked Erlyn to stay with us.  I don’t want to be alone with Mike!  He’s pissing me off!

“ano ba song piece niyo?”  Erlyn asked Mike.

I looked at Mike as he showed a paper. “eto, saving grace..maganda yung tono ni--”

“bakit yan?! ang taas kaya niyan!”  I interrupted him

“kaya mo ‘toh noh!” he claimed.

“hindi kaya!”  I disagreed.  Mahihirapan ako sa pagkanta nun.

“oo kaya!” he opposed.  Before I could speak, he started playing the keyboard.  His fingers were smoothly moving on top of the tabs creating a pleasing music.  Ang galing niya.

“oh, kumanta ka na” Erlyn pushed me closer to Mike while he was keyboarding.  Mike looked at me which was a hint.  It’s a signal for me to enter after the interlude.  I looked at the lyrics then at him.  I have this doubtful expression on my face but he nodded his head and beamed at me.

“night and day..i seek your face..” I started singing.  I can hear my voice trembling which was probably the reason why he stopped.

“hey guys, kailangan ko nang umuwi..mauna na ko Hilary ah?  Kakatext lang ng mom ko eh..”  Erlyn abruptly said.

Ano?   Maiiwan kaming dalawa ni Mike?  Asar naman eh!  “ganon ba? oh sige..ingat ka ah?” I responded.

“bye, ingat!” said Mike.

“ingat din kayo.  Mike, matatagalan pa ba kayo?  Ingatan mo yan ah!” she smiled back as she waved goodbye.

“akong bahala” he winked at her.  Ikaw nga bahala, ako naman kawawa!

“start ulit tayo..umayos ka ah?!” he demanded.  Yeah, fine.  Para naman kasing napakadali nung pinapakanta mo.  Eh ikaw nalang kaya?!

I answered him with silence.  He started playing the instrument again.  I progressed until the third line but my voice was still no good and for the second time, he stopped.  I repeated it over and over again and he stopped over and over again too.  We didn’t even finish the first stanza.

“umayos ka naman..” he requested.  I was utterly quiet.

“aba..hindi ka bumanat ah..natahimik ka yata?” he chuckled.  Still, I remained hushed. “oy, galit ka ba sa’kin?”

Wow naman.  Ngayon mo lang nahalata?!

“alis na ‘ko. bukas nalang ulit. pahiram muna nitong lyrics, pag-aaralan ko sa bahay.”  I impassively answered as I turned my back to him.

“wait lang! malapit na gumabi, ihahatid na kita.” he offered.  Aalis na nga ako kasi ayaw kitang makasama, pati ba naman sa pag-uwi ko gusto mo pang sumunod?!

“wag na! kaya ko’ng sarili ko!”  I responded in a hostile behavior.

I went to where my bag was placed.  As I was fixing some of my things, he kept the keyboard somewhere in the classroom but  I didn’t wait for him.  Instead, I quickly made my way down through the stairs.  Outside the school, there was already a jeep.  I began walking towards it when Mike called me from behind.  I made a halt, but didn’t look.





























“ingat ka ah?”

Chapter 8
Traversing With Menace


While waiting for our next class, I decided to wallow privately and make my own nook near the bookshelves by the window then slouched with my left hand supporting my chin.  I’m better off looking at the school garden’s view rather than watching how silly some of my classmates were doing baloney stuffs.

“buti pa yung mga puno’t halaman, tinititigan mo.  Sana puno nalang ako” I recognized his voice immediately.

“they’re worth my stare than you are and mind you, kahit maging puno ka pa, tititigan ko pa rin yung mga yan maliban lang sa puno na sinasabi mo..”   I proudly said with determination.  He sat on the bookshelf and I tried to look at him waiting for his reaction.  He chuckled but wasn’t looking at me and ran his hand through his hair.  By the time when he noticed I was looking, our eyes met.

“hmm?” he muttered while smiling.  I stared at him.  Hanggang dun nalang ba yun?  Wala na bang second move para mainis pa ako lalo?  I swiftly shifted my head from his face.  Why should I even bother about him?

There was moment of silence and we remained on our positions.  He sat there while I was on his side staring in the open air.  I wondered who would first break the restrain between us.

“mamaya, praktis ulit..” he finally initiated as he jumped from the bookshelf and walked away.

“baka ang ibig mong sabihin..mamaya, torture ulit..”   I whispered.

“Hill, punta kaming c.r..sama ka?” Joy emerges with Erlyn and Kryzl with her.

“ahh..hindi, kayo nalang..” I declined.

“bat ba nagsesenti mode ka, huh?” Kryzl asked.

“ganyan talaga, yan.  Minsan gusto niya tumulala kung saan-saan.  Hindi na kayo nasanay..”  Erlyn answered for me.

I grinned as I heard that from her.  In return, they also flashed a smile as they went off.

Just as they were gone, I saw someone on the peripheral of my eyes pulling a chair near to me. “bat mag-isa ka dito?” asked Jake.

“ahmm..wala lang” I answered with a smile.

“balita ko kakanta ka daw ah?” he beamed.

“huh? pa’no mo nalaman?” I inquired.

“kinuwento sa’kin ni Mike kanina lang..” he answered.

“nakakaasar talaga yun!  Pinagkakalat ah!  Napilitan lang naman ako eh..ayoko talaga..” I felt uncomfortable.  It’s the first I’m talking with Jake in person.  At sa lahat ng pwedeng pag-usapan bakit yung tungkol pa dun?  Namiminggo na talaga sa’kin yang Mike na yan!

“ahh..hindi ah, hindi niya pinagkakalat, ako palang daw yung sinabihan niya kasi alam niyang ayaw mo pang ipaalam sa iba..eh nagkataon na ako kasi close naman kami. Don’t worry, if that’s what you want, di ko ipagsasabi sa iba nating classmates.” he explicated and clarified it to me as to defend Mike.

“ganun ba..thanks”  I felt relief.

“better surprise them nalang next week, diba?” he riposted.

“siguro nga pero I’m still not sure kung anong magiging outcome eh..” I sighed.

“gano’n? hindi yan..” he tapped me on my shoulder. “ikaw pa! kaya mo yun noh! gusto mo i-cheer pa kita eh..” he had this elating expression in his face.

“nye..hindi ka bagay maging cheer leader!” I jested.

He hooted. “para sa’yo magchi-cheer ako..bagay man sa’kin o hindi” Jake grinned.

“talaga lang ah?” I chuckled.

“oo naman noh! why not?”

***

Mike ordered our classmates to go home immediately after our class so we won’t wait for the room to be empty.  It would take 30 precious minutes before they would scram so he’d better command them so we could start our practice early.  This time, it’s only the two of us.  Erlyn needed to go home early and so were Kryzl, Joy, Carla, and Jhoyce.  Wala akong nakuha maski isa sa kanila na pwedeng sumama sa’ming dalawa ni Mike.

“game..” he started playing the instrument.  After I crooned some of the lyrics, he ceased. “ulit!” he demanded.  I began singing again.  When he wasn’t satisfied, he would terminate.  This was the process that kept on repeating.

It’s already 4:30 pm but we’re still rehearsing and because of the recurrence, I already memorized the entire lyrics.

“lakasan mo pa, pano ka nila nyan maririnig?” he ordered.

“nahihiya nga ako” I explicated.

“tayo lang naman tao dito eh..wag kang matakot lakasan, ako lang naman nakikinig eh..” he reassured me.

Once again, he played the keyboard and this time, I improved my volume.

“sabi ko na nga ba, kaya mo eh..isa pa ulit ah?” he said.

He began playing.  When I was about to sing the chorus part, some elementary students ran along the corridors so I stopped.

“oh baket?” he looked at me intently.

“kasi..may mga bata eh” I answered.

“kanina pinagbigyan na kita na isipin mo na tayo lang dalawa ang nandito at ako lang ang nakikinig..but this time, I would want you to think that you have other listeners aside from me.  Konti lang naman yung mga batang yun ah..kung hindi ka makakanta dahil sa limang taong yun, ano pa kaya sa actual performance na halos lagpas trenta yung nakikinig?” he reprimanded.

Eh yun nga yung dahilan kung ba’t ayokong kumanta diba?  Tapos ngayon magde-demand ka dyan!  Kaasar ka talaga!

There goes the process again.  He played, I sang, and it’s either me or him who stopped until the time reached 6:00 pm and I felt tired already.

“start na..” he insisted.

“teka lang, ayoko na..pahinga muna tayo..” I pleaded.

“hindi pwede! sa Monday na ‘toh eh..hindi naman tayo makakapagpraktis bukas saka sa Linggo kasi weekend at alam kong may kanya-kanya tayong gagawin sa mga araw na ‘yun!” he sharply responded.

“ipapakilala kita sa konsepto ng pagod!!”  I glowered at him and walked away.  I went to a corner of the room, sat with my back resting on the wall, tucked my knees and rested my head on it.  When I heard his footsteps coming closer to me, I lifted my head.

“tumayo ka na nga dyan!  sige, last na ‘toh.  Kapag maayos na, uuwi na tayo” he offered his hand but I just stared at him. “swear, uuwi na talaga tayo pagkatapos nito basta ayusin mo lang at para magawa mo yun..believe in yourself, isipin mo na kaya mo, okay?  Binigyan ka ng Diyos ng ganyang talent kaya wag kang mahiyang gamitin..” he flashed a smile.

kung magsalita siya ngayon, parang siya yung angel ko ah.  Hmm.. posible kaya na.. hay nako, hindi noh! Kung anu-ano na yung iniisip ko! Pagod lang siguro ako.  Though I’m still annoyed, I held his hand and stood up.

Before he could start, I positioned myself by the window.  While looking outside, I earned all my esteem and thought of something to add on my Life Guide.

Philosophy #9:  Never underestimate the power of positive thought.  Just believing that you can is half the journey to actually succeeding.

I should be optimistic this time.  “ready na ‘ko” I told him.  Because I’m determined to go home and take a rest, I gave all my best.  I sang aloud, correctly, and confidently.  When I finished, I walked towards him and glared at him. “masaya ka na?!” I furiously exclaimed then walked away to grab my bag and go home.

“teka lang!” he shouted.  But I didn’t mind.

Habang pauwi na ako, natatakot ako.  Gabi na kasi eh tapos maglalakad pa ‘ko pagkababa ko ng jeep.  Dapat nagpahatid ako!  Kaso galit naman ako kay Mike eh..kaya wag na!  Tawagan ko kaya parents ko na sunduin ako sa gate ng subdivision? kaso kulang yung load ko!  Hala! Pa’no na?

Pagbaba ko sa jeep, lumakas yung pagtibok ng puso ko.  Madilim na talaga sa subdivision namin, nakakatakot!  Palapit na ‘ko nang palapit sa may kanto malapit sa’min.  Napakaswerte ko naman!  Para akong nanalo sa lotto dahil naabutan ko dun yung mga naglalasing, grabe!  Ang saya ko naman!  Waah!  Nagkakatuwaan sila, hanggang sa matanaw nila ‘ko.

“miss!” a drunken man called.  I know I’m the one he’s referring to since I’m the only one walking on the street that time.  I tried to walk past them.

“psst!” another one uttered.  Kinakabahan na talaga ‘ko!  Mga lasing ‘toh!  Tumayo pa yung isa, naglakad palapit sa’kin.  Waah!  Anong balak nito?

I walked faster but the man obstructed my way. “miss, mag-isa ka lang?”

“huh? ah..eh” I felt anxious.  Can somebody help me at this instant time, place, and situation?  Sige na, kahit sino na Lord!!  Help!!

“ang ganda mo pala eh” he whistled. “mga pare! ang ganda nito!” he announced to his mates.

Uh-oh!  Sana nagmukha nalang akong monster sa paningin niya!  I tried to run but once again, he impeded.

“oh! sa’n ka pupunta? hatid na kita” he leered and attempted to grab my bag from my shoulder to carry it but I refused and moved backwards. Hindi safe! “nahiya ka pa eh” he said lasciviously.  This ain’t good no more!

“wag na po! uuwi akong mag-isa!” I shrilled.  Once again, I tried to escape but my tactics didn’t work.  Worse, another man stood and was about to walk towards us.  Yung isa nga hindi ko natakasan, ano pa kaya ‘pag dalawa na sila?!  Waah!!  I backed off to maintain a distance from the other while another was about to come.  Just about the time the second man started to walk towards me, I felt someone from behind..

[J-chan]

Ang cute nung philosophy #9!!

Nakakarelate ako! So true nga!!

continuation..

“honey..” a voice coming from a lad called as he draped an arm on my shoulder.  The man that was about to come towards me made a standstill. “anong problema dito?”

“problema? haha!” the man laughed. “wala! baket?!”

I was immobilized, not even able to turn my head to look at the lad right next to me.  With his arm draped on my shoulder, he pulled me closer to him. “wala naman pala eh!” he snorted.

“aba! sumasagot ka pa sa masmatanda sa’yo ah! wala kang galang ah!” the man bursted out with wrath.

“natural sasagot ako, tinanong mo ‘ko eh! kaso lang hindi pala yung tanong mo yung sinagot ko noh?” he disputed.  Whoa!   pinilosopo pa yung lasing! “saka walang galang?! sino kaya sa’tin ang walang galang ngayon?! after all, you deserve derision instead of deference!” he continued.  All I could do was stare at the man, watch him getting raged.

“ano? der--ano ulit? alak ba yun? hindi ako waiter para mag-serve nun noh! ahaha! teka nga, bat ka ba nakikialam sa’min dito?!” the man replied as the other drunken chap that was in a standstill went back to his chair.

“ayy..di nagets..” he gruffed.  I could feel his breath but yet, I didn’t dare to look at him.  My eyes were fixed on the drunken man.  I’m getting nervous, focusing on what he might do to us. “sabi ko ikaw ang walang galang! binabastos mo girlfriend ko!” he yelled.

The man was about to argue again but suddenly backed off and his face grimaced. “ay! girlfriend mo ba pare? pasensiya na, nakita kasi naming mag-isa..ihahatid ko lang sana” he alibied with a tamed voice then walked back to his mates while looking sideways at our backs.  I tried to turn my head to look at my back then saw a guard walking towards our direction.  He must have heard the commotion happening.  So that’s why the obtuse drinker got startled.

Before I could look at the face of the bloke who saved me, he hauled me along, still with his arm draped on my shoulder. “halika na..” he said.  But I know who owns this voice!

“ehem! malayo na tayo, pwede mo nang tanggalin yang kamay mo noh!” I mandated him and removed his hand from my shoulder while we were walking.  “nananantsing ka na yata eh!”

“hindi ah!” he defensed. “ikaw na nga tinulungan eh!”

“bat sinabi ko bang tulungan mo ‘ko?!”  I scolded.

“ahh ganon?! oh sige, i-rewind natin, bumalik tayo dun, iiwan kita sa kanila!” he exclaimed.  I stopped walking.“oh baket nanaman?” he went in front of me looking dubious about me while  I looked into his eyes.

“Mike, thank you..”  my tears started to fall as I hugged him. “kung hindi ka dumating baka kung ano nang ginawa nila sa’kin!” I blubbed.

I was sobbing in his shoulder while he stroked soothing circles on my back which made me feel that I’m safe, that nobody could harm me. “hey, tahan na...







































..nandito na ‘ko.”

continuation..

Mike walked me home.  While on the street, he broke in.  “hon, okay ka na?”

“honey ka dyan! hindi na kita bf..tapos na yung palabas kanina noh!” I said while still gasping.

“bakit, ayaw mo na bang ituloy? mamahalin naman kita ah! he asked with a ridiculous smile.

“ano??” I jeered and looked at him.

“bakit? sa tingin mo ba gagawin ko nalang yung ginawa ko kanina basta basta?! baka nga nasaksak pa ko ng mga yun eh! pero dahil sa’yo..” he paused.  I looked at him enigmatically.

“eto naman, syempre joke lang! gusto lang naman kitang patawanin eh..” he clarified.

Ahh, joke lang naman pala ehh..I returned a smile. “kahit kelan ka talaga!”

“ikaw, matapos mo kong gawing crying shoulder ah..sige, ganyan ka! basa na nga polo ko oh..” he stopped walking then checked his polo. 

I stood in front of him and jutted my head near to his shoulder to check it too.  “ay, oo nga..sus! matutuyo din naman yan!”  I looked up to his face to flash a smile.  But this time, our faces were closer.  He didn’t say a word.  He was just staring deeply into me.

I felt awkwardness. “ahmm..pasensiya na” I softly uttered then immediately looked down and started walking again.

“uy, hintayin mo naman ako..” he said.  I decreased my speed for him to catch me up. “bat bigla kang bumilis?”

“wala lang!”  I muttered.  “hmm..I just want to ask, why did you bother to come here?” I inquired.

“it’s just that..you know..it’s already late, and..you’re a girl.  Do you see the picture?” I nodded. “may nagsabi din sakin kung san yung subdivision niyo pero saka ko na ikekwento kung sino. Tapos pumunta na ko dito. Pagdating ko nga hindi ko alam kung sa’n banda ka na napadpad, good thing narinig ko yung boses mo kanina kaya nalaman ko na nandon ka pala sa kanto..” he answered calmly.

“nag-aalala ka sa’kin noh!” I jested.

“huh? hindi noh! ginagawa ko lang responsibilidad ko.  Di ba sabi ko kay Erlyn, akong bahala sa’yo? baka ipagsabi niya na pinapabayaan kita sa practices natin tapos isipin ng ibang tao hindi ko iniingatan ang isang babae, masira pa yung gwapo kong image” then bigla siyang nagpa-cute.

“uh-huh? may image kang gano’n?” I chortled.

“oh, edi natawa ka” he looks silly with his facial expression.

“nakakatawa kasi itsura mo..nagpapa-cute ka pa dyan” I stated while still laughing.  He also began to laugh with me until we reached our house. “nandito na tayo..”

“oh sige, pumasok ka na..” he said and started to turn his back.

“uy, sandali lang!” I called then he turned his head. “ingat ka sa daan saka thank you ulit”

He flashed a smile. “no prob!” he waved goodbye then went off.

***

hindi ko nalang sasabihin sa parents ko, baka sa susunod hindi na nila ko payagang lumabas ng bahay eh.  Mag-iingat nalang ako next time.  Tama, gano’n nalang. I went inside our house as if nothing happened.

“what took you so long?”  Jelaine asked.

“huh? gosh! I was so busy eh..you know..shooting, pictorials, shows, ramp modeling, guestings..I’m so tired na nga eh..” I joked.

“is that so?” she was starting to laugh. “eh nakuhanan mo ba ‘ko ng autograph galling sa mga artistang nakasama mo?”

“ohh..sorry! I forgot..next time, okay?” I told her in a sweet voice.

“ang corny mo ah!” she said while giggling. “sabi ni mama kumain ka na daw pagdating mo.”

“sige..puntahan ko muna sila” I answered and went to my parent's room.

My mama is ironing some of our clothes while my papa is reading something on their bed when I arrived there.

“ginabi ka ah..”  my father uttered.

“natagalan po kasi yung practice namin for an activity..” I explicated.

“kumain ka na ba? tapos na kasi kami eh..kainin mo nalang yung nasa dining table..” my mother said while ironing.

“oo nga, sige magbihis ka na din..” pa said as he lifted his head from what he’s reading.

“okay po..” I answered then went off to change clothes and eat.  I didn’t tell my family anything about the incident.

After some time, may nagtext sa’kin.

<angel q>: safe now?

Aba!  Parang alam na niya agad kung anong nangyari ah.  I have this sense na talaga!  Baka nga..

<ako>: okay na ‘ko..

<angel q>: buti naman..ü

<ako>: bakit ganun? Alam mo na ba kung anong nangyari sa’kin??

<angel q>: yah..

Ayaw mo pa magpakilala ah!  Tignan natin..Baka mabuking ko na ‘toh this time.
