Fancy POV
LATE na ako nagising today. Past ten na. Maybe it's because, it's malamig. Christmas is coming na kasi so the weather is being cold na. Like 'yung crush mo sa 'yo. Hihi.
Bumaba ako sa kitchen. Nagugutom na ako and I want to eat breakfast na kahit it's magta-tanghali na.
Iniisip ko pa nga si Sydd. Na-guilty ako kagabi because of what I've said. I know it was rude and nagsisisi ako na nasabi ko ang mga words na gano'n. Arghh! It's my tongue's fault. So daldal kasi e.
"Tantaran, tsutsurut tsurut..."
My noo is nagpretzel knots because I heard someone is singing from the kitchen.
"Boom tarat, tarat! Boom tarat tarat! Tararat tarararat boom boom boom!"
Who's kumakanta ba and what kind of song is that?
I saw Yaya Madonna, she's making timpla my coffee.
"Goodmorning po, Mam Pansi. You is late na nagising po. Pero all of pagkain is so fresh po. And upkors, this is it your kopi."
Ipinatong niya sa mesa ang coffee ko saka nakahanda na ang pagkain. I sat on the dining chair saka tumingin kay Yaya.
"I heard you singing." I said.
She make takip her hands to her mouth. "Oh my, Mam Pansi! You is so nagalingan to my voice? I am shy! I am fames na talaga."
I make paikot my eyeballs to her. "Duh! You're so feeler talaga, Yaya Madonna. I just want to ask you if what kind of song is that. Ngayon ko lang narinig e. And it'l was like a weird sound."
Naglagay ako ng rice sa plato ko. I sipped my coffee. Refereshing!
"Mam Pansi, hindi niyo po alam 'yung tsutsurut tsurut? Kanta po iyon sa Wowowin. Napapanood ko po kasi sa TV. Hehe. Idol ko na po si Willie."
She's mahilig talaga manood ng TV and all, that's why ang dami niyang alam. I'm not mahilig sa TV. It's not my thing. That's why, wala akong masyadong alam na show sa TV. I'm more on movies and internet, of course.
"Nag-breakfast ka na ba, Yaya?" I asked her.
I'm maldita to her but sometimes I'm mabait naman. Like hello, she's the only Yaya na nakatagal to me kahit I'm being mean to her even before.
"Upkors, Mam Pansi! I'm monitor my health and beauty po e. Hihi."
I make paikot my eyeballs again. She's trying hard talaga na gayahin ang fancy language ko. Ugh, it's so sakit sa tainga na marinig ang salita ni Yaya Madonna. It was like, my ilong is dudugo e.
"Whatever." Sabi ko. "I'm aalis today. I'm pupunta sa Dev's Cafe."
I want to see Sydd and I want to apologize. Argh, that's not so me but I want to do it. Kasi I know, I was wrong.
"Sige po, Mam Pansi. Basta po, ikumusta niyo po ako kay crushy. Gagawa po sana ako ng love letter por him pero baka po kiligin siya e. Kaya I did not do nalang po. Hihi."
Ugh, Yaya Madonna talaga.
"So assumera talaga! Don't make landi nga si Sydd."
"I'm not landiin naman po si crushy. You is judger, Mam Pansi!"
"Judger?! Whatever, Yaya! You can't crush him 'no!" I said while chewing my food.
"Why, Mam Pansi? You is against the world? You is kontrabida to my love story? You don't do that to me po. I'm naha-hurt po like my heart says awww. You eat na nga po. I want mapag-isa muna po. Me is babalik po after you eat." She said and bow her head. Then, iniwan niya ako dito sa kitchen.
My eyes widened. Just seriously? Malala na si Yaya talaga. I don't know if I'm maiinis or what e. She's... ugh. Undefined!
I checked my phone nalang na ipinatong ko dito sa dining table. There's no text messages pa from Sydd. Usually, nagtetext siya sa akin ng goodmorning message. Maybe he has no load? Or he's out of battery?
Sumimangot ako. I will try to call him.
I dialled his number. And yes, nag-ring iyon. I immediately ended the call.
My heart says dug dug. I'm kinabahan bigla. But nakakainis! His phone is ringing! But there'a no morning messagd? Oh, maybe no load?
My phone beeps.
My eyes are nanlaki because it's so malinaw. I have a new messags from Sydd! So he has load?
From: Dragon Sydd
Why?
I'm masamang nakatingin sa message niya. Just a simple why? Seriously? What's with him?! I'm umasa ba masyado that he would sent me a morning message? Gosh!
I typed my reply.
To: Dragon Sydd
I'm going to Devs Cafe today. I will just take a bath first.
I can't ask him kung bakit wala siyang morning message. Duh! May load siya and his phone is not lowbat.
My phone beeps again.
From: Dragon Sydd
It's up to you. But I can't entertain you today. Madaming customers. Busy ako.
I make palaki my eyes pa to make sure that I read it right. He's busy? Maraming customers? Really?! Kahit busy pa siya, when it comes to me, he's laging free!
I took a deep breath and typed again a reply.
To: Dragon Sydd
It's fine. I still go there.
I'm naiinis na hindi makapaniwala. Let's see lang talaga kung busy siya and he can make tiis na hindi ako asikasuhin! Sydd will do everything for me kaya!
I finished my food and stood up. I'll take a bath and I will wear a beautiful dress. Like, hello! It's not only Sydd that I need to deal with. There's a human boobs pa naman na pakalat kalat doon so I need to prepare myself.
??
Devs Cafe
PAGPASOK ko sa cafe ay hinanap ko agad si Sydd. Medyo naiinis ako kasi I called him just to say na narito na ako sa Devs Cafe. Pero nag-okay lang siya. Kaya nga bumaba na ako sa car ko e. I expected kasi na he will go out of the cafe para sunduin ako. Ganoon naman kasi ang ginagawa niya. I want to pingot his tenga talaga.
I saw him na nakikipagtawanan kay boobie girl sa may counter. Oh, so that's what you call busy? Busy sa pakikipagtawanan sa babaeng nasobrahan ng laki ng boobs? Duh, as if, ikayayamam niya ang kalakihan ng boobs niya. Kapag nainis ako, I will tusok a karayom to that boobs talaga.
I walked to the counter like a queen. Napatingin sa akin si Sydd. Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha niya. Why ba? Is it because of last night? Kaya nga I'm here e. I want to apologize din sa kaniya. But he's acting cold towards me!
"May bisita ka pala, Sydd." Sabi ni Boobie girl na plastik.
I arched my left eyebrow at her. "I'm a customer."
"Customer ka pala? Akala ko kasi, nagpapapansin ka kay Sydd dito e." Sabi niya.
She's starting again, huh. She wanted yata na matikman ang galit ko to the highest mountain everest! She's nakaka-GRRR!
"Chloe." Suway ni Sydd.
"What? Hindi ko pa din nakakalimutan iyong ginawa niya sa akin 'no!" Sabi ni boobie girl.
I make paikot my eyeballs saka tumingin sa menu. "I want a caramel frappe. For dine in."
I won't step down to her level. Like eww! I'm iba gumanti. She dared to make me galit na naman? Let's see your tapang, huh.
Inirapan ko si boobie girl saka naghanap ng vacant table. Nakakita naman ako agad. Since it's maaga pa, hindi masyadong marami ang customers.
Nang makaupo ako ay pasimple kong tiningnan si Sydd. He's the one preparing my frappe. Hmpp! He's acting strange. Kailangan ko na talagang mag-sorry sa kaniya. Hay, I really have this guilty feeling towards him. I'm gonna putol my dila na ba for being so daldal? Ugh.
"Caramel Frappe." Ipinatong ni Dragon Sydd ang frappe sa mesa ko. Hindi siya umupo sa tapat ko.
"You're not going to sit down and talk to me?" I asked.
"I told you, I'm busy."
"Busy with what? Kaunti palang ang customers and you're nakikipagtawanan lang naman kay boobie girl!"
He sighed. "I'm busy. That's it."
Tatalikod na siya but I spoke. "You're so cold pa, kasing-cold nitong frappe na ito! Argh! I know you're being like that dahil sa kagabi. I came here to apologize!"
Lumingon siya sa akin pero he's serious pa din. I'm not really sanay na ganito siya.
"You don't need to apologize. What you said last night was true. I know now my limitations, Fancy. Enjoy your frappe."
What the hypothalamus?! He left me hanging! He came back sa counter and saw him talking to that boobie girl again na ngiting ngiti like she's not even maganda! She's like a boob na tinubuan ng tao. GRRRRR!
I took a deep breath. I already apologize but he said na I don't need to do it. And he called me by my name! I'm not saying na gusto kong tawagin niya ako ng wifey, but it's just that... nasanay akong ganoon. Suddenly, he's nagbago even his pakikitungo to me!
My blood is umiinit na and I'm starting to get annoyed.
Sinamaan ko ng tingin ang frappe sa table ko. Sunod akong tumingin sa may counter. Nagtatawanan na naman sila. I hate them! Arghhh! That boobie girl is so landi! And si Dragon Sydd, why is he so tuwang tuwa to that boobie girl?! I'm nagagalit na talaga!
Tumayo ako habang hawak ang frappe. I walked towards the counter and then, I opened the frappe. Itinapon ko ang laman niyon kay boobie girl. Her eyes are nanlaki even si Sydd.
What now?
"Oh my! Ano bang problema mong babae ka? Inaano ba kita, ha?!" Sigaw ni boobie girl.
I winked at her. "I told you not to mess up with me, loser."
"Fancy Jewel."
Napatingin ako kay Dragon Sydd. He looked mad.
I know, may mga customer na napapatingin sa amin. I made a commotion, but who cares?! I'm naiinis talaga e.
"Hindi ko palalampasin 'to! Ang sama sama ng ugali mo!" Sabi pa ni boobie girl but I just arched my eyebrow at her.
"Enough, Chloe. Ako na ang bahala dito. Magpalit ka na ng damit sa loob." Sydd is being sweet to that boobie girl and I hate it!
Boobie girl glared at me and walked out. Hinila naman ako ni Sydd palabas sa cafe. Nang makalabas kami ay masama siyang tumingin sa akin.
"What was that, Fancy? Kailangan mo ba talagang gawin iyon? You're being mean to her!"
"What? Sinisigawan mo na ako? Kinakampihan mo ang boobie girl na iyon?!" I shouted at him.
I'm really naiinis! Argh.
"Stop being a brat, Fancy! Hindi ka na bata! That was a childish act!"
It hits me. Bigtime.
He's mad at me and this is the first time I saw him glaring at me.
"I'm not a brat! I'm just nainis because you're both nagtatawanan! I'm naiinis!"
"Bakit ka maiinis kung magtawanan man kami? Anong masama doon?" He asked.
I make hugot ng lakas ng loob from my inner self. "Because you're nanliligaw to me! You said you love me but you're so busy laughing with her while acting cold towards me! You're so unfair!"
He grins. "Unfair? Ako pa ba ang unfair, Fancy? Yeah. I told you that I love you and that's true. Pero anong masama kung makipagtawanan ako kay Chloe? Should I ask permission to you kung pwede ba akong makipagtawanan kay Chloe?"
What is he saying. He really looks so mad right now and I swear, my buntot is naduduwag. I'm nasisindak to Sydd.
"Tulad ng sinabi mo kagabi, walang tayo. Walang tayo, Fancy kaya siguro, wala kang karapatang gawan ng masama si Chloe dahil lang nakikipagtawanan siya sa akin. Sala sa katwiran e. Umuwi ka na." He said seriously and turned his back on me.
Natigilan ako. I felt something to my puso. It's like there's a c***k bigla.
I felt my luha na nanggigilid e.
"Stop playing around and make a mess inside my cafe. Nakakaabala." Dagdag pa niya saka pumasok na sa loob ng cafe.
Naiwan akong mag-isa dito sa labas. My tears fell. Why is it tumutulo ba! I hate this. Bakit I'm nasasaktan sa sinabi ni Sydd!
But he just repeat what I've told him last night. I didn't know that it would hit me... inside. Inside my heart.
