24 | Shitty Hangover

"My head fucking hurts!"


Kanina pa ako nakatulala sa kawalan habang nakahawak sa aking sentido. Everything was spinning and aching when I woke up at wala pa si Kaito!


Kanina pagkagising ko, nakita ko na lang ang aspirin at glass of water sa bedside table ko. It was supposed to be fine because Kaito still thought of making the headache go away pero bakit siya wala? Nakakapagtaka lang dahil usually, tuwing nalalasing ako ay magigising ako na nasa tabi ko siya.


"Claire? Yeah. I'm so sorry wala ako riyan sa BA, I got so drunk last night and my vision is still so blurry," I called Claire's phone number.


[Tangek, okay lang! Deserve mong magpahinga, I got this.]


Binaba niya ang tawag dahil may narinig akong nagtanong sa kaniya na customer. It might be busy over there and I can't just lay here with her working her ass off! Hindi iyon patas sa aming dalawa.


Sinubukan ko nang tumayo at muntikan pa ako madapa dahil sa nakakalat na damit sa sahig. I went straight to the bathroom to shower and I could feel the dirt from my body wash away as I slowly recovered with my hangover.


Pagkalabas ko ng kuwarto, I expected that there was breakfast that he cooked pero wala ulit. It was still weird! Kasi parati naman niya ako pinagluluto ng almusal kapag nag sleep over kami at kailangan niya umalis ng maaga!


Bigla ko tuloy naalala ang pinagusapan namin ni Claire noon.


"You like Kaito, right?" She asked me while she was rolling the paint roller on the wall. We were painting the walls of our office when she suddenly opened up the topic about me and Kaito's relationship.


I swear, wala talagang naging araw na hindi namin siya pinag-usapan!


"Yes. So what? It'll eventually fade, Claire," I shrugged my shoulders and she chuckled.


"I don't think so, Anathasia Fleurienne." She told me and I gave her a curious glance before continuing what I was doing. "You see, paano ka magmomove on kung palagi kayong magkasama? Palagi ka niya tinatrato na parang girlfriend niya pero wala pa kayong kumpirmasyon na mayroon kayong mutual understanding. Masakit 'yang pinapasok mo, insan. Pinagdadasal ko lang na sana handa ka sa sakit na mararamdaman mo pag natapos ang lahat ng ito."


I suddenly stopped painting and thought to myself. Pero paano kung wala akong sakit na mararamdaman sa dulo? Paano kung hindi ko iyon mararanasan? Wala namang masama mangarap 'di ba?


"Paano ka naman nakakasiguro na may masasaktan?" Tanong ko sa kaniya and she sighed before placing down the paint roller and faced me.


"May tanong ako sa 'yo, insan," she said before holding both of my shoulders, forcing me to look in her eyes. "How many times has he made you feel special?"


I tried to think of scenarios where I felt like his person, "Too many to count." I answered her and she let go of her grip on my shoulder before snapping her fingers.


"There. Too many to count, you say. That is an indicator na sanay ka na sa piling niya. Sanay ka na lagi siya nariyan para sa iyo. Sanay ka nang may kasangga sa lahat ng problema mo."


It hit me. I promised myself to never get attached to someone whom I've known for only a few months. Kasi may posibilidad na sirain niya ang tiwala mo o 'di kaya biglang ipakita ang kaniyang tunay na intensyon at motibo sa iyo.


I was scared of people turning their backs against me. I was scared of losing someone special.


But now, I am already at risk because I am attached to Kaito Ren.


Tangina talaga. Hindi ito puwede! Not right now. Kung kailan ang dami ko pang gusto mapatunayan, hindi p'wedeng mabitiwan ko iyon dahil na naman sa kabaliwan ko sa isang taong pinaranas sa akin na espesyal ako.


I wore a pink tank top, and on top of it was a white cardigan. I paired my top with high waisted washed out blue jeans. After that, I curled my hair before taking a grab to the store. Noong pumasok ako, medyo wala naman na ang pagkahilo ko pero alam kong mayroon pa rin.


"Oh, insan? Bakit ka nandito? Sabi ni Kaito hindi ka raw papasok ngayon dahil may sinat ka ah?" Bigla naman niyang nilapat ang kamay niya sa leeg at noo ko at nanlaki ang mga mata niya. "Gago ka, Fleurienne! Mainit ka putcha."


Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya sa leeg ko bago siya lampasan. There were a few people that wanted to have a picture with me at kahit feeling ko mahihimatay na ako dahil sa init, nakipag-picture pa rin ako.


"Is it just me or is it hot here?" I asked Claire and she pointed at the temperature of our aircon. It was at fifteen degrees. What the fuck? Bakit gano'n ang init pa rin?


Pumasok ako sa office namin at umupo sa harapan ng computer. Inabutan naman ako ni Claire ng pagkain saka tubig. Tama, baka nagkakaganito ako dahil wala pa akong kain dahil sinuka ko lahat ng kinain ko kagabi.


I managed to do my officework pero nararamdaman ko na talaga na unti na lang at babagsak na ako. I took out my phone and I couldn't read the notification that I had because my vision started getting blurry until I saw complete darkness.


"Fleurienne!"


Naramdaman ko ang tapik ni Claire sa aking braso kaya nagising ako ulit. Ah, baka inaantok lang ako? Tiningnan ko ulit ang cellphone ko at nababasa ko na ang mga notifications but I got disappointed when Kaito still hasn't replied or seen my messages.


Fleu_: Where are you? Hindi mo man lang ako iniwanan ng note.


Fleu: Are you that busy? You left me on delivered for almost two hours na. This is so not like you.


"Hey, Claire. Do you know what happened last night? Hindi ko kasi matandaan ng buo."


Claire sat down in front of my office table at nilagay ang kamay sa kaniyang baba para isipin kung ano ang mga nangyari kagabi. I know that she didn't drink as much as I did so.


"Let's see. You made out with Kaito, and almost fucked because we all heard moaning in the bedroom but when one of your friends knocked, she saw a glimpse of you two half-naked. Ano pa ba... Uhm, you told us that you love him in a very drunk manner. Pero don't worry, hindi niya 'yon narinig. I think."


Putangina, bakit wala akong maalala na ni isa sa mga sinabi niya? I only remembered getting durnk with my fucking friends! But good thing I didn't fuck him because I can't even tell him how I feel, let alone fucking him?


But gosh, how I wish I could run my fingers on his V-line to his... Fuck.


After our closing, tumulong ako sa paglilinis ng store and when we were about to finish... Naramdaman kona nandidilim na naman ang aking paningin at umiikot ang mundo ko. I suddenly felt my eyes becoming very droopy, and it was a signal to lay down.


Not until I passed out.


I slowly opened my eyes and I saw that I was at a different location. I was at a hospital ward, sino ang nagdala sa akin dito? Paglingon ko sa gilid ko nakita ko si Claire na nakatitig sa akin.


"How long was I out?" I asked and she looked at me with a sad expression.


"Three days," she answered.


Agad naman ako napa-upo ng maayos, "What the fuck? I literally just passed out and suddenly I am out for three fucking days? Ano nangyari sa business natin? Binisita ba ako ni Kaito, sino ang magbabayad ng hospital bills! Tangina ang mahal siguro no'n!" I panicked and she chuckled, earning her a glare from me.


"Alam mo, tarantado ka talaga minsan."


She snorted, "Alam ko. Pero tatlong oras ka lang tulog. You passed out due to fatigue and hangover. Kailangan mo lang daw ng pahinga sabi ng doktor." Tumayo naman siya sa pagkaka-upo niya bago ako tapikin sa balikat.


"Kailangan ko muna bumili ng pagkain ko, dito ka lang ha? 'Wag mong tatanggalin ang swero at tumalon sa building," she joked and I smiled before nodding.


I can tell na okay na ako dahil nakakangiti na ako ng hindi pilit. Hinanap ko ang cellphone ko at nakita ko ang message ni Kaito!


Agad ko ito binuksan at sumimangot ako agad noong nabasa ko iyon.


R.Kai: SLR. Had an emergency.


Hindi ko siya nireplayan at huminga lang ng malalim. When I was about to message my gal friends when the door opened at nahulog ang panga ko noong nakita ko ang dalawang tao na iniluwal ng pintuan.


What the fuck are Mom and Dad doing here? Sino ang nagsabi sa kanila? I saw how they both gave each other death glares before they approached me.


"Kumusta na ang anak ko?" Sabay nilang sabi and it made me sigh.


"Oh shit."
