The Mayor (tagalog)

Chapter 18

' damn , what the hell is wrong with him ? ' naibulong ko nalang sa sarili ko ng makapasok ako sa condo ko.

If I remember correctly , the last time we see each other we were fighting.

And now we met again he acted as if nothing happened

He flirted with me in that club or his just drunk and not on his right mind.

"bakit ko ba iniisip ang taong iyon ? eh noon pa man may pagka bipolar na iyon." naibulas ko ng malakas.

Nakakabaliw din intindihin ang isang iyon.

At bakit ko naman siya iintindihin.

' hay my night would went well if he didn't approach me '

Instead of thinking of him I decided to take a half bath and drink a glass of water before going to sleep.

That will help me lessen the hangover tomorrow.

And since I got a few shots of alcohol I easily dozed off.

Kinabukasan nagising ako sa tunog ng doorbell ko.

Kaya pabulong bulong akong bumangon.

" kung sino ka man na nambubulabog ng tulog ko , ibabalik kita sa pinanggalingan mo "  I said as I'm walking through the door.

" sandali ! , atat na atat ah ! " sigaw ko ng mas pindot pindotin pa nito ang doorbell.

" what ?! " medyo pabulyaw kong sabi ng buksan ko ang pintuan.

" good morning " bati ng hindi ko inaasahang tao.

Anong ginagawa niya dito at paano niya nalaman kung saan ako nakatira.

" Mr.Lopez , do you need something ? " tanong ko sa taong nasa harapan ko , walang iba kundi si Mayor.

" hi , I bought you breakfast " Sabi nito sabay pakita ng bitbit nitong paper bags.

" for what ? " mataray kong sabi

" for you "  he said , sabay abot ng paper bags.

" I didn't order that " Sabi ko at isasarado na sana ang pintuan.

" ahm wait , just accept it and I will leave " Sabi nito sabay harang sa pinto.

" ano bang ginagawa mo dito ? diba tapos na ako sa atraso ko sayo " Sabi ko ng nakasimangot

" I just want us to be friends " he said smiling.

" marami na akong kaibigang baliw ayoko ng magdagdag " walang gana kong sabi

" grabe ka naman parang wala naman tayong pinagsamahan niyan " paawa niyang sabi

" Wala naman talaga " Sabi ko

" kung wala kang kailangan pa makakaalis kana at matutulog ako " bulyaw ko.

" okay , I just left it here " Sabi niya habang nilalapag ang dala sa tapat ko.

" bye sleep well " sigaw pa nito sa hallway bago sumakay sa elevator.

Pinulot ko naman ang paper bags saka malakas na sinara ang pintuan ko.

" arrghhh ang aga manira ng araw !! " sigaw ko sa loob ng condo ko.

" ano bang problema niya ? jussko po ! "  pagsasalita ko mag-isa.

Nilapag ko sa lamesa sa salamesa ang mga paper bag saka binagsak ang katawan sa sofa at natulog doon.

Hindi rin naman nagtagal ang tulog ko dahil ng maramdamang naiihi ako ay nagising ako.

Pagkalabas ko ng banyo ay kumalam ang sikmura ko sa gutom.

Hinimas himas ko ang tiyan kong naglakad papuntang kusina ng mapansin ang paper bag sa lamesita.

Doon ko naalala na dinalhan pala ako ni Mayor ng pagkain kaninang umaga.

Nilantakan ko ang dala niya habang iniisip kong ano na naman ang tumatakbo sa utak ng taong iyon.

Tumunog ang telepeno ko sa isang mensahe.

Marco : hey ! you busy ?

Me : Nope , why ?

Marco : I just wanna invite you out for lunch , just catching up.

Me : miss me ?

Our conversation go on until we decided to meet up outside.

Me and Marco been good friends since we met in Ilocos.

But there's no deep feeling just friends , maybe that's the reason why I'm comfortable to him.

I also noticed that we have the same interest ' Men '  as a observe his movements.

But that's just a speculation of mine. I could be wrong , maybe I'm just being judgemental.

We met at a restaurant inside a mall nearby his office.

We talked , catching up for a past months we didn't see each other.

We're in the middle of juicy talking when someone interrupt us.

Sandro Lopez just suddenly barge.

" I guess you really enjoy my girl company for you to meet up here " he said as he placed his hand across my shoulder.

" Mayor Lopez , nice to see you " Marco politely greet him.

" we meet again Marco " mayabang niyang sabi.

Hinawi ko naman ang naka akbay niyang kamay sa balikat ko.

" why are you here ? " I asked as I faced him.

" oh I'm just strolling around and then I saw you that's why I approach you guys to say hi " he reasoned

but why do I feel like he is lying.

" oh it's that so , what a coincidence then " pagsakay ko sa kanya.

" yeah what a coincidence " he said and laugh awkwardly.

" yeah , like you just showed up in front of my door this morning bringing me a breakfast and now we met again here , what a day ! " I sarcastically said.

" you just came to say hi right ? " I asked him after few moment of silence.

" yes of course " he said.

" you can leave now , I'm sure you're here because of something right ? , because me and Marco have a private business to talk " I rudely said to him.

While Marco just switching his eyes to us as if watching a live drama.

" yeah sure " he said and slowly get up.

Nang makaalis siya ay napa buntong hininga ako.

" so he came to you this morning? ". Marco asked.

" yeah imagine my shock when I saw him in front of my door. "  pagkwe-kwento ko na may kasama pang hand movements.

After that Marco and I separated ways.

Since nasa mall na rin naman ako ay napag pasyahan ko na dumaan na sa grocery para bumili ng kailangan ko bago umuwi.

Any month now mag te-take na ako ng licensure exam.
