Now Playing: No Woman, No Cry

Boracay sunset never failed to amaze me.

I even forgot to get my phone and record it para may ma i my day man lang..

I just sat there silently looking at the sunset and being amazed by it.

Yung iba naka tayo, nag rerecord, yung iba nag papapicture sa sunset, yung iba nag pa party, yung iba nag s-swimming.

"Shot." Sabi ni Eren sabay abot sakin ng shotglass. Yep, habang nag aantay kanina ng sunset, umiinom kami, yun pala reapparently

ason kaya may tequila, kasi iinumin nila dito yun.

Kinuha ko yun saka kumuha ng half calamansi sa supot at konting asin saka kinain yun at direktang ininom ang tequila at ininom ang citrus ng calamansi.

"Ahhh!!" Saka binigay yun kay Eren.

"Keri lang?"

I smiled. "I can do without the salt and lime... pero nakasanayan ko nang meron."

"Yeah me too." Saka uminom na rin ito.

Then out of nowhere napatingin ako sa left side ko, and then I saw Eren's ex along with other girls, di ko lang matukoy kung relative ba ng mga ito o friends.

"Hey, Janz!" That's Mike while fist bumpin' her.

"Cas! Shot!" That's Arkin naman sabay bigay dito ng shot.

Kinuha naman nito agad at ininum yun saka pumunta sa malapit samin para kumuha ng calamansi, bahagya pa syang napahinto nang makita ako.

"Jana, don't start it." Eren warned her, nanotice din naman agad nito siguro ang pag bago ng expression ng mukha nito.

She just rolled her eyes then turned her back on us.

"It's okay." Sabi naman ni Eren then tumingin sakin. "Just ignore her."

"I understand."

Then Eren started a conversation, about dun sa project namin sa office nila. We talked and shared our opinions.

Then I noticed panay sulyap ng ex ni Eren samin. Wala pa nga akong ginagawa, naiinis na ito, so I started to get touchy with her, para malaman kung ano ang reaction ng ex nito.

"Ahmm. Wait, can I uh." Sabi ko habang sumesenyas kay Eren na papahidan ko yong bibig niya.

"Is there something on my—?"

Then nilapat ko na ang daliri ko sa gilid ng bibig niya.

"Kunin ko lang."

Then she suddenly stared at me directly into my eyes sabay taas ng kilay. "Are you trying to get back on her?"

Napa tigil naman ako nun.

"Fuck! I can't take it, Mike, i'm outta here." Jana suddenly said sabay walk out.

"No..." sabi ko sabay alis ng daliri ko. Ok, nag walk out na ex nito, so effective ba?

"You know, Reese, you don't have to do it. Being hurt by me ignoring her is enough." Simpleng sabi nito but why does i can sense that she's mad and disappointed at me?

Di naman ako naka sagot nun, i can't find words to respond.

Di ko rin kasi ineexpect na yun ang sasabihin niya.

———-

Around dinner i went back to my hotel and decided na dun na kumain. Parang naging awkward narin kasi ako kay Eren, parang feeling ko kasi napahiya ako. God! Ba't ba naman naisip kung inisin ang ex nito? Agh!! Parang wala tuloy akong mukhang ihaharap sa kanya.

Around 10 I tried to make my self fall as sleep, pero ayaw, hindi talaga, and also I hate myself for expecting a message from her. Agh! Come on, Reese!

Then ting!

One Notification Received

Oh come on! Sabay tapon ng cp ko sa corner ng bed saka humiga na uli and tried myself to fall asleep.

Then I was about to doze off when suddenly my phone rang. Napabangon tuloy ako.

Eren Calling...

Shit! Am i not dreaming?

Then I cleared my throat before answering it.

"Yeah." Kunwari wala sa mood.

Eren: oops! Did I wake you up?

"Obviously, yes, why did you call anyway?"

Eren: I'm in front of your hotel.. sama ka? Punta kaming Paraw Beach Club.

I looked at my watch, 11:05 pm

"Late na ah."

Eren: kaya nga, late night parties are the best you know.

Then Naisip ko mag pakipot ng onti, kunwari di ko hinihintay tawag niya at di ko inaantay na yayain niya ako.

"Uuwi na ako bukas, Eren."

Eren: exactly! That's why niyaya kita, kasi nga uuwi kana bukas

"Eren..."

Eren: hmmm ok, di na ako mamimilit

"Jana! Come on! Susunod naman yan si Eren eh, di yan mawawala." I heard Mike said in the background.

Aba kasama pala ang ex. Come on, Reese, ineexpect mo ba na hindi?

"Give me 10 minutes, okay lang?"

Eren: (laughs) 'kay!

End.

@Paraw Beach Club

Now playing: Candy - doja Cat

I've missed these kind of parties, yung walwal na walwal, tsaka ngayun lang din uli ako nakasayaw ng bongga. You know, eversince naging kami ni James, oh wait, how is he pala? 2 days na akong walang message sa kanya... agh! Anyways, yun nga, eversince naging kami, naputol na lahat ng ka wildnessan ko sa buhay, paninigarilyo, inom, party, barkada etc., ayaw kasi nito sa wild na babae, conservative kasi ito at ang pamilya nito, lagi nga namin pinag aawayan yan, but then dahil mahal ko sya I tried my best para i adjust ang buhay ko sa babaeng gusto niyang maging ako.

After ng sunud sunud na walwal sa gitna bumalik na ako sa upuan saka uminom uli. I looked for Eren, di ko na kasi sya nakita nang biglang naging wild ang dancefloor kanina, isa pa, hilong hilo na ako, natatamaan na ata ako. Then naramdaman kong para akong naiihi, so tumayo ako at pumunta ng cr, medyo madilim dun lalo na't parang sira ata yung bombilya dun, and then I heard soft moans, kaya out of curiosity, hinanap ko kung saan yun nanggagaling, and then I was shocked upon seeing her, i mean Eren and some guy, no, the guy earlier sa convience store is making out, nahh, just kissing, and touching several parts of body.

"Fuck! Eren! What the hell?" Bigla kong sabi, pareho din naman silang napatingin sa gawi ko.

"Fuck! You again?!" The guy said upon recognizing me then he looked at Eren. "Goddamit!" Saka nag walk out.

I looked at Eren. "Seriously?!"

Tiningnan niya lang ako, though di ito nag sasalita but i could see irritation in her eyes, saka akmang mag wa walk out na rin sana ito kaso agad kong hinawakan ang braso nito.

"So, sinseryoso mo talaga yang lalaking yon?"

Di ito tumingin sakin, acting as if di ako naririnig, wow ha?

"I didn't expect na ganito ka ka wild, sinabi mo sakin kanina na dare lang yun and then this? Makikita ko nalang na nag memake out kayo rito sa cr malapit sa lalagyan ng mop?! Come on!"

And she's still not responding.

"Eren, i'm talking to—"

"What?! What's wrong with you?! Eh ano naman kung makita mo akong nag memake out dito sa cr malapit sa lalagyan ng mop?! It's none of your business anyway, kung mag make out man ako sa kung sinong ma meet ko dito! Tas Eh ano naman kung wild ako?! This is me, Reese! Sorry ha, kasi di mo ineexpect mga na didiskubre mo sakin nGayun!"

We both looked at each other. Nag papatigasan sa tingin. And then suddenly out of nowhere, napatingin ako sa lips nito, its so red. And goddamit! Malay ko ba kung dahil sa alcohol na nasa katawan ko ngayun or it's that she's so attractive na parang mag vovolunteer na lang akong ihulog ang panty ko at makama sya ngayun.

Akma na syang mag lalakad ulit when I earned the guts to hold her waist and push her in the wall and kissed her.

And then ting! Reese?! What are you doing? Akma ko na sanang ihiwalay ang lips ko sa lips niya nang hinawakan niya rin ang beywang ko and pull me closer to her and started to respond to my kiss, it gets deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper hanggang sa di ko na namalayan nasa cubicle na pala kami ng cr ng girls and everything was... damn amazing!

The pleasure she's giving me right now is something i haven't experienced yet, everything was new, everything was damn so yummy and hot! Goddamit it!

"Ahh! Yes! That's it! Ahh!"

Wala akong paki kung may makarinig man samin sa kabilang cubicle, isa lang ang alam ko, ang sarap sarap ng pakiramdam ko ngayun at ayokong matapos tu.

"Hey." She said.

I opened my eyes and looked at her.

She's holding my waist right now. At ako naman nakasandig sa dingding ng cubicle at naka taas ang isang kamay habang ang isa naman naka palibot sa leeg nito.

"Hm?"

"I'm thinking..." then she slightly laughed. "Am gonna regret this tomorrow." Saka tumawa. "Ewan ko lang kung mahaharap pa kita sa office."

And then I realized. Goddamit, Oo nga pala nu? Aish!

"Shit!" Then i pushed her outside.

"Teka teka!"

Then closed the door.

"Reese?" While knocking.

Agh! Goddamit, Reese! What did you just do?! Ahhh!!! Ano ba tung kahihiyang ginawa ko? Then nag flashback lahat sakin. I kissed her, then she kissed me back then we made out and everything was... so beautiful. Agh! God! I hate to say this pero... then sighed, i liked it, i mean, loved it, really, loved it.

"Reese! Can we talk?"

"I'm ahh... just gonna pee. Teka lang ha." Yeah, ngayun ko lang din naalala na naiihi pala ako kanina.

"Is that so? Antayin nalang kita sa table ha."

"Yep."

And then I heard her footsteps.

——

It took me 30 minutes bago lumabas, di kasi agad ako naka recover. Goddamit! Di ako makapaniwalang nagawa ko yun kanina, or nagawa namin yun kanina. Parang nawala nga yung kalasingan ko.

I'm on my way to our table when i saw Eren and Mike talking, they were serious. Tapos parang galit si Eren.

"What the hell? Kilala ba niya yung lalaking yun?!"

"Sabi ni Arkin High School friend daw niya..and he's kind naman daw at mapag kakatiwalaan."

"No fuckin way, Mike, i just saw how that guy look at her. May pag nanasa!"

"Hey, calm down!"

"What's up?" Sabi ko nang napalingon sakin bigla si Eren.

"Hey." She looked irritated.

"Okay ka lang?" Sabay hawak sa wrist niya.

"Si Jana kasi." Sabi nito.

Ewan ko pero biglang nakaramdam ako ng konting kurot.

"What's up with her?" I asked.

"Sumama nalang bigla sa kung sino."

I looked at her. "Look who's talking..."

"Yeah Right, pero i'm not that type naman na sasama sa kung sino lang." She said. "And making out in a party is very common, Reese."

Napatigil naman ako nun. Ah so common din naman pala yung ginawa namin sa cubicle. So wala dapat akong ika worry.

Then kinuha nito ang phone nito at parang may dinial.

"Mike! She's not answering!"

Then si Mike naman ang nag dial.

"Di ko na ma reach, baka inoff na niya."

"Agh! Goddamit!" Then biglang umalis.

I'm about to follow her nang pinigilan ako

Ni Mike. "Let her. She needs that to calm her nerves." Then he sighed. "Though break na sila, Eren still cares for Jana, bago pa kasi naging sila, Jana's a one special friend to Eren, isa pa mag kababata sila eh they were like sisters bago pa naging sila.... Hope this won't make an issue to the both of you in the future."

"Excuse me?"

"Well, I saw you and Eren kissing earlier so I assume may namamagitan sa inyong dalawa."

"Shit! That was just—"

"It's ok." Then he smiled. "Sige na, sundan mo na sya. And oh! Wait-" sabay kuha sa bulsa nito ng dalawang sigarilyo tsaka lighter. "Bigay mo yan sa kanya, she needs that."

——-

"Hey!" Sabi ko nang makita ko si Eren na nakatayo sa labas.

"Hey."

"Malamig dito."

"Yeah."

Then binigay dito ang isang sigarilyo.

"Yosi."

Then she flashed a weak smile. "Mike gave you this nu." Saka kinuha yun at ang lighter at sinindihan.

"Well, he said you might need this."

"Oh..." at sinindihan na ito at nag simula na itong mag sigarilyo, sinabayan ko

Na rin sya.

Katahimikan.

"I'm sorry about earlier."

"It's okay, i understand."

"Jana's pregnant." Sabi nito maya maya.

Napatingin naman ako rito, shocked.

"Huh?"

Tumango ito and laughed bitterly. "Kanina ko lang naman nalaman, we had the time to talk kasi kanina after dinner... sooo... yeah... i was so fuckin'

devastated earlier upon knowing na nag bonga pala ang cheat niya sakin. Well, the reason why we broke up because i discovered she ..... had an affair with her co worker, and i didn't expect na bobonga yun. I wanted to yell at her, ilabas ang galit ko but then pinigilan ko ang sarili ko... para sa magiging anak niya." Then she sighed. "Nakakahiya mang isipin but... sumagi sa isip ko kanina na makipag balikan sa kanya... di ko kasi matiis makitang nasasaktan sya... and i still.... " she bit her lip, yung parang pinipigilan niya sarili niyang umiyak kaya I hugged her.

"Ssshh... you wanna go for a walk after this?"

Mahina itong tumawa. "Yes please ..."

2:30 am

I sat in the corner of my bed as I looked at her peacefully sleeping. Ang amo ng mukha niya, parang anghel, parang baby, parang ang sarap hawakan tapos pindut pindutin.

After we took a small walk i've decided to bring her to my hotel room para makapag pahinga sya. She's been crying mula pa nung umalis kami kanina sa Paraw. Buti nga't nung nakarating na kami kanina dito sa room, mejo kumalma na sya.

Sighed.

Though Jana's not her first partner and relationship, she's her first girlfriend, and the girl's important and special to her, kababata niya ito. They developed feelings when they separated ways, though parehong nasa Manila, mag kaibang university naman, then they lost their communication for 2 years, nanumbalik when they both went back to their hometown for a summer vacation, nag kasabay daw sila sa bus, and then nabuo uli ang naudlot nilang pag kakaibigan, that time break na si Eren at ang 2nd bf nito, and also single din si Jana, mula nung summer vacay na yun, nag upgrade from friends to lovers ang status nila, they both discovered na mahal pala nila ang isa't isa nang nag double date sila kasama ang mga guys na ka fling nila that time, and then in no time, naging sila and they decided na kumuha ng apartment. Last month, they ended their 7-yr relationship when Eren discovered Jana's having an affair with her colleague, she was about to give her another chance when Jana told her that she's pregnant with the guy's baby, and now, Eren's devastated upon knowing it.

Sighed.

"It's okay, baby girl, everything will be alright... soon."
