Chapter 36 : Game Over
Keitthe
I don't know what happened to Sam. Simula ng inumaga siya ng uwi she acted weird around me. No smiles, no hello, no eye contact. She's been cold.
Kanina naman pagpasok namin umiyak siya. Damn, I hate myself! Umiiyak siya pero wala akong magawa.
Habang naman nagka-klase sila binabantayan ko lang siya and she looks so sad. I badly want to punch myself in the face. I want to make her smile pero hindi ko alam kung papano.
Breaktime hindi rin siya kumain. Buti at nasabihan ko sila Enzo.
"Bro, pabigay kay Sam. Wag niyong sabihin na sakin galing okay? Basta pilitin niyong kumain. Make her smile please?"
"Aye aye captain!" Nginisian lang ako nila Enzo.
Habang kumakain sila ay medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam ko ng makita ko siyang ngumiti ng kahit papano.
I waited for dismissal para mapuntahan siya agad. I want to talk to her. I badly want to hug her and tell her that everything's okay.
"Ouch!" Nasalubong ko si Samuel.
"Hey are you okay?" Nilapitan ko siya.
"N-no I'm fine. I just didn't eat my lunch maybe that's why." Mukhang nanghihina talaga siya but I smelled alcohol. I think she's still drunk.
"Need a ride?" I know my timing is not right pero darn I just can't leave her here. Baka ma-manyak pa siya dito. Tsaka she's not sober mamaya may magawa pa siyang hindi niya alam.
"Oh I wouldn't want to be a burden Keitthe."
"No, it's fine c'mon." Inalalayan ko siyang maglakad dahil pagewang-gewang siya and we talked. Natatawa ako sa mga pinagsasasabi niya.
Yung iba hindi ko maintindihan dahil masyadong australian yung term at slangs.
"I'm out to it mate"
"Huh?"
"I'm Adrian Quist!" Hindi ko talaga maintindihan ang mga pinagsasasabi niya.
"That means I'm drunk Keitthe I am pissed. Yeezus! I feel like Kanye."
"Hey there's a party in my pad later. Be there or be square!" Grabe din talaga si Samuel. Lalo na sa party.
Siya nga lang ang matinong party animal na nakilala ko. Yung iba kasi pabaya na sa buhay.
She kissed me. Nagulat ako kaya hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko. Did I just let another girl aside from Sam kiss me?
Inilayo ko siya sakin at nakita ko na pikit na pala ang mata niya. Tss..
Pagkatapos nun ang bilis na ng mga pangyayari.
"Cheers!" We raised our glasses.
"Hey where's Sam?" Tanong ni Katthe. Tss.. she's been drinking too much alcohol lately. Malilintikan to sakin pag hindi siya umayos.
"Oh I was calling her but she wasn't answering." Sabi ni Samuel sabay inom.
Siguro tulog na yun. Inumaga na siya ng uwi at wala pa siguro siyang tulog. I worry for her a lot.
Kumain na kaya siya? Is she feeling swell? Nakatulog na ba siya ng maayos? Fuck I feel like her mother.
"I should probably head home. Thanks for the drink Samuel."
"Boo!! Party pooper! You're not even pissed yet. Drink this booze and I'll let you off." Hilig talagang maglasing ng australiana na 'to.
Pagkatapos kong inumin naganahan ako. I didn't know what happened next. Nawala ako sa katinuan.
