Chapter 3
"Why is it a boyfriend problem?" He asks habang makataas ang kilay .
She looked at him and she laughed.
"I don't have a boyfriend Mister, I am NBSB as in no boyfriend since birth"
She carelessly laughed nangunot ang kilay nito sa sinabi niya looks like he doesn't believe her.
"I swear" itinaas pa niya ang kamay na tila nanunumpa dito but he just stared at her blankly or maybe he felt like she is just a nuisance.
"No one likes me.. even you..didn't like me at all.. right? As I read your reaction towards me you and all the men dislike someone like me.. It's ok, sanay akong ma reject" zhe said nonchalantly.
She smirked at him at sinandal niya ang ulo sa sofa at pinikit ang mata dahil nakakaramdam pa siya ng konting hilo and she massage her temple.
Narinig niya ang yabag nito papalayo, and she giggled sabi na nga ba niya at iiwan din siya nito.
But she heard a door locked at nagmulat siya ng mata nakita niya itong pabalik.
Napaawang ang mga labi niya akala niya ay umalis na ito.
And he sat beside her.
Tiningnan nito ang orasan
"It's just 11:15pm and we still have 3 hours to talk about your problem"
Napangiti siya sa sinabi nito.
"Really?"hindi maitago ang tuwa sa mga labi niya
"Well yeah" nagkibit balikat naman ito while staring at her intently.
Tumayo ito at kumuha ng alak sa mini refrigerator nito at nakita naman niya ang yosi at lighter niyang ipinatong nito sa lamesa kaya naman lihim niyang kinuha ito.
Pagbalik nito ay meron na itong bitbit na dalawang bote ng beer.
"Well why are you here alone.."bungad nito sakanya pagka upo sa tabi niya.
Kinuha niya ang beer, ngunit inagaw nito sakanya at ito na ang nag bukas noon.
"Thanks" tinanggap niya at ngumiti dito.
"I'm here because my sister told me"
"Your sister?" naka taas ang kilay na tanong nito.
"Yeah, well it's my last two months of being single" tinaas pa niya ang bote na hawak.
"Why?" nagsalubong ang kilay nito.
"Because in two months, my future husband will be here and.. we will getting married "she laughed but pain is visible in her downcast eyes.
" Then why didn't you look happy? " Mukhang naging interesado na rin ito sa istorya niya at pagak siyang natawa.
" Because.. I don't know him.. it's an arranged marriage at ayaw ko sanang magpakasal sa lalaking hindi ko mahal..at hindi ko pa kilala,but I have no choice"
Kinuha niya ang alak at nilagok .
" It's.. kinda hard to be in that situation.. " rinig niyang bulong nito na tila nahulog narin sa malalim na pag iisip.
" Yeah, no one understands me" mapait niyang nasabi.
" Then why didn't you told your parents about it.? "
" My parents has a high expectations on me, I'm the eldest daughter and all of the responsibility is in my shoulder, pati mga kapatid ko, they think I'm that strong but I'm not.. it's just my defense mechanism "
Sabay silang napalingon sa pinto ng may kumatok.
"Wait" paalam nito.
Tumayo ito at naglakad papunta he opened the door at may kumausap dito, he nodded at bumaling ito sakanya.
" I will be back" lumabas ito habang naiwan siyang magisa.
She just got another beer, at nilagok iyon.
She feel so tipsy the plan is to make her sober pero pakiramdam niya ay nalalasing siya lalo ng beer.
At her head starts to spin again.
She got her cigarettes and light it, humithit nanaman siya.
She can still remember it.
When her father told her about the problem na kinakaharap ng pamilya niya.
It was a big problem na pwedeng maging dahilan upang manganib ang buhay ng pamilya niya at nakasalalay sakanya ang lahat.
She wanted to cry but she needs to accept her fate now dahil kung hindi paano nalang ang daddy niya? He will be very disappointed in her.
Nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at nagkatitigan sila nito,maybe just this one,may mapagkwentuhan naman siya ng problema niya someone will listen without judgement and he is a perfect stranger for this kind of situation.,magkasalubong ang mga kilay nito at tumabi sakanya.
Kinuha nito ang yosi na nakasalpak sa bibig niya.
" No! "
Pilit niyang inaagaw ngunit hindi niya kayang abutin ang kamay nito.
" I really don't like woman who smokes, it can cause bad breath" he looked disgusted at napangiti siya, and he stared at her intently.
Napatitig siya sa labi nito.
Looking at his lips mukha ngang hindi ito naninigarilyo because of its color at mukhang napalambot and curiosity attack her.
"You don't smoke?"
Nanunukat na tanong niya dito,and the man nodded.
"I am,but I'm a man and you're a woman..for me it's disgusting" halata nga sa mukha nito na ayaw nito sa babaeng naninigarilyo so she nodded and smile.
"Yeah,so from now on,you and I will start to quit smoking right?" Kahit alam niyang it was a very impossible dare dahil narin sa ngayon lang naman sila magkakasama nito ay susubukan parin niya.
The man chuckled handsomely and she didn't expect it.
"I already quit smoking, wanna try?" Tila nanghahamon nitong tanong.
She giggles.
'akala niya siguro ay hindi ako kakasa sa hamon niya?then let's see..'
"Then let's try" she held his nape and pulled him without a warning at tila nagulat ito when their lips met, as what she read in those novels she tried to open her mouth at suck his lips.
Yes,she sucks it,
and she feels ashamed She' s a 25 year old woman who's an achiever and good at anything about business and doesn't know how to kiss.!
But it feels strange., And she feels something inside her belly that tingling.
Pathetic...
She pulled out and stare at him and she giggled seeing his reaction na tila hindi parin makapaniwala.
"I didn't know how to kiss right? What a shame" and she chuckled.
He looked at her with amusement in his eyes at napailing ito.
Kinuha niya ang bote ng beer at nilagok parang napaka kumportable na ng pakiramdam niya sa lalaking kaharap dahil hindi na siya nakakaramdam ng hiya dito kahit ultimo pangalan nito ay hindi niya pa alam.
Habang ito ay nakatitig sakanya na parang hindi parin makapaniwala sa ginawa niya.
She stared at him, dumbfounded at iniisip niya kung bakit ganito ang reaksyon nito, she's not good at reading people.
"Why?...Oh!" Natuptop niya ang bibig ng ma realize niya.
"I'm so sorry! Did I disappoint you? I'm not a good kisser,I admit it" she laughed.
" Ano bang aasahan mo sa isang kagaya ko,boring right? "And she laughed again.
Umayos ito ng upo, but they're still close enough dahil ilang dangkal lang ang layo nila sa isat-isa and she can smell him
"You think what you did is funny?" akala mo tatay niya ito ng biglang sumeryoso ito habang nakatitig sakanya.
Umiling siya akma pa sana itong sasagot.
"Then--"
"I didn't know the lips are warm" akma sana itong magsasalita at tila ba hindi niya narinig ang sinabi nito she hold her lips subconsciously.
Kita niya ang paglunok nito sa ginawa niya.
She laughed again.
"Well Mister, You're so lucky you know why? You're my first kiss, and before I promised myself na kung sino ang lalaki na makakakuha ng first kiss ko, well be my husband.. but unfortunately you are my first but you will never be my husband because two months from now ikakasal nako, and let's celebrate the remaining time of being single! "
At kinuha niya ang bote ng beer at inubos ang laman nito, ngunit pakiramdam niya ay nabitin siya kaya pati ang beer nito ay kinuha niya at nilagok.
Inagaw naman nito ang bote sa kamay niya.
"Enough with the beer"
"No.. let me enjoy this, maybe tomorrow we will never see each other again, malay mo sunduin nako dito, and I want to experience the best"
Dumukwang siya para kunin ang beer dito, itinaas nito ang kamay na may hawak ng beer.
