Part 67 – Candace’s p.o.v.
Sa totoo lang sa loob nagagalit na talaga ako. Pero I gave in to my insecure feelings na nararamdaman ko araw araw and tinanong ko sya, “Craig may ginawa ba ako sayo o may pagkakulang sayo for you to treat me that way?”
“Candace, shhh wag kang maging loud dito.”
“Hindi pa ito loud okay. Gusto mo ng maingany pwede ko itong gawin na talagang maingay.”
“Masyado kang emotional Candace.”
Nag demand ako sa kanya, “Sagutin mo question ko!”
Meron isang family sa likod ni Craig, tapos meron isang family sa gilid, at kung sino pa ang lumilingon sa gawi namin ni Craig.
“Okay. Candace, nakipag agree akong makipagkita sayo dito ngayon para itigil no na ang pagtawag sa akin sa base. Ang sabi ng Commander namin ay…”
”Wala akong pakialam kung ano ang sabu ng base commander mo Craig. Ang tinanong ko sayo were you seeing someone else besides me nung lumalabas pa tayo.Yun lang. Yes of !@#$ no. Answer the !@#$ question you bastard. Answer it so I can order take out and bring my food home and leave this forsaken place.”
Parang napa-aray yung facial expressionni Craig, parang naglalakad na barefoot under the sun.
Tapos pinagsabihan ko syang, “Wag kang maglala na mahu-hurt mo ang feelings ko. I am beyond that now. So if you can be a man and tell me the truth, then I can be a woman and take it like a man.”
Wala pa rin imik si Craig. Ganon talaga pag guilty ang lalake walang imik. Hindi makapagisip ng dahilan. So sinabe ko ulit, “Marunong kang maging lalaki diba? So say the truth.”
“Oo.”
Tapos biglang nag ring cell phone nya. Tapos tiningnan nya oras nya. At tiningnan nya oras sa cell phone nya. Tapos nag shift sya sa upuan nya.
Tinanong ko sya, “So sya yung sinama mo sa play imbis na ako sa birthday ko sa yung time na yun?”
Ng smirk lang si Craig na tipong GET OVER IT NA HINDI IKAW ANG SINAMA KO na type na smirk. Ang sarap sampilungin yung mukha ni Craig.
Tapos may nakita ako na hindi ko nakita sa kanya dati. “Have you ever respected me?”
Nag grunt lang sya tapos kinusot nya yung mata nya, at nagpakitang iniirita ko sya. Sabi ni Craig, “Ano kakain ba tayo o hindi?”
Sabi ko sa kanya, “Ikaw ba magbabayad Craig o ako?”
“Sige na nga, I’ll treat you.” Sabi ni Craig.
“Okay. So ordered this, that, this, that, and oh that, and that, and this, that, this, this, and that, and all those.”
Nung pag alis ng waitress namin. Biglang nagbiro si Craig, “Damn saan mo ilalagay lahat yang pagkain nainorder mo?”
“Dito sa hips, sa thighs, atbp.”
“Okay okay. Alam ko.”
“Saan ang ladies room dito?”
Tinuro nya sa front door. So I got up to go to the ladies room. “I have to go the ladies room muna.” Grabe ang sama ng titig sa akin ni Craig. That jerk. First he disses me and tells me he doesn’t feel me anymore. Tapos now he’s lusting after me. Loko talaga. He disresespected me tapos ganyan pa sya.
The ladies room was at the right side. So si Craig he finally took his eyes off me. So I faked right, and went left passed rhgough a waitress and out the front door. Tapos I peaked inside para siguraduhin hindi ako nakita ni Craig, the jerk. Sa labas I went next to his new Nissan Maxima, and and dug down my house keys so deep that sparks flew in every direction as I keyed the sides of his car. It was the passenger side, so he probably wouldn’t notice the damage until he is back in the base. Pero kung makit nya yung artwork decoration ko sa passenger side ng car nya, then who the hell cares. He couldn’t feel me ha. Well he will definitely feel this. So I walked back and forth like seven or eight time from headlight to tail light. Wow! Look at all thos scratches. There you go Craig. Now feel that. Paint started coming off, I got to the bare of the metal, and made it bleed like a heart. Mabuti nga.
And linkad ko sa koche ko and drove off. Yan ang closure ko. Kung sino nagsabing don’t repay evil with evil can kiss my butt na lang. Basta I don’t feed bad people, and don’t give them water when they’re thirsty. Bahala sila sa buhay nila.
