2075 Words
Primo's POV Have you ever been in a situation where in you're incapable of protecting yourself from heartaches, problems and disappointments? But that's how life works, sometimes. "s**t Primo! Wake up, come on" napabangon ako sa gulat, may tumatalon sa kama ko. It's been a while pero eto na naman sya. I thought he's in New York? Di ko man lang na-miss kahit konti. "Ash, can you please shut the f*** up and take a seat?" inis na sambit ko dito. "It's the first day of school, this day will be great isn't it? Come on, take a bath already" hinatak nya ko patayo at dinala sa banyo. Asher "Ash" Martin is my childhood friend, he's also the one who knows all of my secrets. Naaalala ko pa noong mga bata pa kami, palagi kaming naglalaro sa kanila, there was a time na nakalimutan kong umuwi, dad is furiously mad. I didn't get a chance to have a sibling that's why I'm used to being alone but Ash came and change everything. Asher's family is elite, so as mine. But his characteristics and attributes? You'll think he's not. Simple yet appealing. That's how they call him. He's tall, muscular and I won't deny that he's a hearthrob. We're each other's armor. Lahat nga ng babae nyan kilala ko e. Through all my heartaches, nandon sya. And I've been by his side when everything turns upside down too. Di ko maikakaila na pamilya na ang turing ko kay Ash. Minsan nga naghihiraman pa kami ng underwear. "Primo, you're there for fifteen minutes already. Pag hindi ka pa lumabas ako magpapaligo sayo!" sabi nito habang kinakalampag ang pinto ng banyo. "Ash, you can go. Saka bat parang excited ka pumasok? Is there something I need to know?" tanong ko dito. Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang pagsasabon ng aking katawan. We're both college students now. Both Engineering students to be exact. We're on the same school. Same hobbies and we're both the soon to be CEO of our family's company. But we still need to pursue our dreams, just in case our fates changed sides. "No, there's nothing to worry about. It's just that, first day ngayon, and it's good to be back. Saka di mo ba ako na-miss? Nakakabadtrip ka" he said, inaartehan pa ang boses na kala mong nasasaktan. "Don't be so dramatic" sagot ko habang pinupunasan ang aking katawan. I'm done taking a bath. I open the door and make my way to my closet. I wear my school pants and a white shirt. He's tailing me. It will be another boring day for me. Actually, wala na akong balak ngayon sa buhay. I was a dreamer before. I have a lot of achievements in sports, specifically in swimming. But mom left us when I was ten. I was forlorn. Of course, who would not be? I didn't go to school for almost two months. I'm wrecked. I'm in pieces. But do you know what's great in life? It's living your life without limitations. Without forcing yourself to meet everybody's expectations. That's what I'm doing right now. "See you," Ash said before turning his back at me. s**t. Pano manuyo ng kaibigan? Binilisan ko ang pagbibihis. I know he won't go to school without me. "Yaya, yung polo shirt ko plantsado na ba?" sigaw ko mula sa aking kwarto. Dali-daling may kumatok sa pinto kaya binuksan ko ito. "Eto na po Sir Primo," she said while putting my polo shirt on my bed. Then she left. Sinuot ko ng mabilisan yung polo ko and get my bag right away. Naririnig ko na ang busina ni Ash. s**t napakaingay talaga nung mokong na yon. "I'm coming!" malakas na sigaw ko habang patakbong bumababa mula sa aking kwarto. Sinusuot ko ang aking relo habang pababa nang bigla akong mauntog sa harap ng pader ng kwarto ni daddy. "s**t!" inis na sabi ko. I make my way to our garage. Kasalanan ni Ash to e, bwiset. When I finally arrived, I open the door and went inside the car. "What took you so long? Kelan ka pa naging pagong?" he asked, looking at me with bored expression. "Kelan ka pa naging imbestigador?" tanong ko pabalik. He seat properly. "Come on, kakauwi ko lang kagabi. I didn't get any news and updates about you the whole summer. Parang di tropa," he said. He started the engine and we headed our way to school. I gaze outside. "I'm busy. By the way do you want to have a party? That will be great, especially on first day of school," I ask, switching the topic. Nakita ko na lamang na iiling-iling sya. He really knows me. Well, change is the only constant thing in this world. So why bother? "Sure," sagot nya. Tahimik naming tinatahak ang daan papunta sa school. Awkward. Bat ba kasi wala ako sa mood makipag usap? I get my phone inside my bag and check my email. There's no update in company as of the moment. Even though I'm not an achiever anymore, I'm still doing my best for dad. He needs me too, just like how much we need mom. "Ash, look, I'm sorry alright? I'll make it up to you later," I said. Di ko na matiis yung katahimikan. Actually, my summer wasn't great because I'm used to going on a vacation. But now that mom left us, dad never gives me time. That's why I'm inside of my room the whole summer. Watching movies, eat, swim in our pool and sleep. That's the cycle, and it's really boring. "It's okay," he said without looking at me. We're already in school and he's now parking. Lumabas ako ng kotse at saka sya hinintay lumabas. Lumapit ako sa kanya at binigay nya sakin ang susi ng kotse. "Come on, let's make this first day, a memorable day for us," I said habang nakaakbay sa kanya. Tiningnan ko sya and yeah, oras na naman para magsaya. "Primo nakikita mo ba yon?" sabay turo nya sa makinis na babae. Parang alam ko na binabalak nito. I nodded at him. Gusto na naman nito makipaglaro. "Alam ko namang number ko ang hihingin nya kesa sayo. I'm way more hotter than you, Mr. Martin," I said, smirking. He just shrugged. "How could you be so sure, Mr. Roshan?" he ask, laughing. Sinuntok nya ako ng pabiro. I miss this moment. I see the happiness in his eyes. He's my brother. We share the same memories, it can be happy nor sad. Tumakbo kami papunta sa babae, she looks wonderful in our uniform. Short skirt, black hair, brown eyes, white skin and pouty lips. s**t. I can't imagine mapapangiti ako nang ganito. "Hey, miss" sabi ni Ash. Tinitigan sya ng babae at saka nginitian. "Hi, how could I help you?" she replied. "You are invited to our party, Miss...?" I asked. Chance ko na to, I've been single for 24 hours already. "I'm Keith, where's the venue?" she ask while shaking my hand. s**t. Napakalambot ng kanyang kamay. "Ehem, it's on my place. I'll text you the address, what's your number?" Ash replied. Aba, at talagang di papatalo to. Magsusulat na sana yung babae kaso nagsalita ako. "Miss, can you be my date? Let's go there together," pag-aya ko dito saka ngitian ng nakakaloko si Ash. Napatingin sakin si Keith. "Sure, here's my number," she said. She get a piece of paper and write on it. "See you later," I said and wink at her. Binatukan ako ni Ash. I never get a chance to comb my hair. I looked at my reflection on my cellphone's screen. s**t. I look like a mess. Buti nalang ako parin yung pinili ni Keith. "Di ko man lang naayos sarili ko, nakakabadtrip ka Ash! Medyo nabawasan ng .1% kagwapuhan ko" sabi ko saka pabiro itong sinuntok. "F*ck off," sagot nito saka naglakad. Patakbo ko itong sinundan. "Where's our room?" I asked. Putting my shades on. It's a sunny day. Our school is huge, perfect for elites. "Straight ahead, turn left, there's a comfort room on the right, so turn left. After turning left, turn right, theres a cafeteria on the left, so turn right. The first building you will see is our main building, our room is on the fourth floor, second room on the right," he said without taking a breath. He's scrolling on his cellphone, looking at the pictures of beautiful girls. Ash will always be Ash. Boring. Dahil wala akong magawa, inaya ko muna si Ash bumili ng kape. I didn't even eat anything for breakfast. We walk to the cafeteria. It's big and the theme is very great. Green leaves with brown interior designs. It's like we're on a jungle. A forest where beauty still remains. Lumapit ako sa counter. "What's your order sir?" tanong sakin nung cashier. I guess she's 18 years old. Typical girl. "I just want some coffee," I said, looking at her intently. She typed my order and said to the barista. Kinalabait ko si Ash. He's busy looking on his phone "What do you think about this girl?" I asked but he didn't answer. He didn't even glance at me. Inagaw ko yung phone nya. "Who's this?" I asked. I saw that he's texting someone who I didn't know. He looks at me. Irritated. "That's my girl," he answered casually. Pilit nyang inaagaw sakin ang cellphone pero di ko binigay. "Kelan ka pa nagka girlfriend? You didn't even tell me," I said. Medyo nabadtrip ako. How could he keep a secret to me? "It's not a big deal Primo, f*ck off," he said. Kinuha nya sakin ang phone nya saka nagsimulang umalis. Nabigla ako sa sinabi nya, dumating na yung kape at dali dali ko iyong kinuha saka nag-iwan ng 1k. Tumakbo ako papunta sa room. "Sir! Yung sukli nyo po," naririnig kong sigaw nung cashier. I didn't look at her, what's the matter with Ash? Kanina pa sya badtrip. Medyo late na ko kaya nagmmadali akong maglakad habang hawak ang kape. Malapit na ko sa room ng biglang may lumitaw na babae sa harapan ko. "What the? s**t!" she's shocked at the same time mad. I was mesmerized by how she looks like. She has a blonde hair, a hazelnut eyes, red lips and she's porcelain. She's absolutely incredible! "I'm r-really sorry, I was careless," I apologized. She go to the ladies bathroom and wash the part of her uniform where the coffee was. Sinundan ko sya. "You'll pay for this," she said. Maganda sana kaso napakainit ng ulo. I said I was sorry, it's also her fault, she's not looking on her way. She's pointing her finger at me. "Yeah... Yeah, sure," I said. Hinatak ko sya at saka umalis. Pano kami tatakas ngayon palabas ng school? s**t. First day of school isn't always great. "San mo ba ko dadalhin?" she asked. Inalis nya ang braso nya sa pagkakahawak ko. Huminto kami sa tapat ng Principal's Office. "Look, Miss. You said I'll pay for this," tinuro ko yung blouse nya. And some students are looking at the two of us. "I'm doing you a favor, so could you please shut up?" I added, raising my voice. Biglang may dumaan na prof sa gilid namin and she smiled. Like, wtf? "Good morning ma'am," she greeted the professor she barely knew or she knows her but I don't care. Wow, ang galang. Pagkalagpas ng prof, bigla syang lumapit sa akin. "Favor? I looked like a mess and it's all your fault, you'll gonna pay for this" she said, emphasizing every of her words. Ulit ulit lang? "Then let's go," sabi ko saka sya hinatak ulit. I drag her to Asher's car. Napakabagal maglakad! Akala ata nya prinsesa sya. Pagkarating namin sa parking ay binuksan ko ang pinto sa driver's seat at saka pumasok. "What are you doing there? Di ka papasok?" I asked, nakakabadtrip din talaga madalas ang mga babae. "Aren't you going to open the door?" tanong nya sakin, nakataas ang kilay. Waste of time ang kaartehan nito. "You'll go inside or I won't pay you," I said, smirking. She just rolled her eyes. "Alright, kanina pa ko inis na inis!" sigaw nya saka binuksan ang pinto saka pumasok at naupo bago padabog na isinara. "Thank you Ash, it's a great first day of school, indeed," matabang kong bulong sa sarili ko saka pinaandar ang kotse.
