Ang Sinaunang Playboy

Prologue

I'm having a nice sleep when someone tapped my shoulder. I open my eyes and removed one of my airpods on my ear. I moved my gaze to the person standing beside me.

"Yes?"i asked her with a straight face.

"Miss Santos sorry to disturbed you but you have to go out because you're the only one who left here."my professor answers.

I rolled my eyes and snatches my bag from the seat of this freaking bus. We are now in Mabini Theater(kathang-isip lamang po) to have this boring fieldtrip to know more about history.

Ugh,how I hate history. It is so boring and annoying at the same time.

Like why would they learn and talk about the past. When it's all about negative thoughts. How the Philippines owned by other country,how the heroes died and so on and so forth.

Kung hindi lang ako pinilit ni mommy to join this fieldtrip, i really wouldn't go. But she insisted because my professor called her asking what is my problem. Well paano ba naman,I'm the only student who wouldn't join.

And that's it I'm really stuck here.

Bumaba na ako sa bus at bumungad sa akin ang lumang theater. But this one is open. Unlike the other theater na close . Siguro open siya para kahit puno ang sa loob eh pwede pa ring tumingin ang mga nasa labas.

I don't know if how many years old na tong theater. It's like i care naman.

I surveyed the place and something caught my attention beside the theater. It is a whishing well or something. Basta isa siyang balon. Di ko nga lang makita ng maayos dahil maraming nakapalibot na estudyante rito.

Do they really believe that if they have their wish there eh magkakatotoo? Ew 'pamahiin/paniniwala' it is.

"Ok seniors comeback here because we will start this."one of our professor announced at the megaphone.

Bumalik naman sila at nakinig. Three tour guides arrived. But before that,our professor gives instructions first.

Sinuot ko ulit ang airpods ko at nakinig na lang sa music.

Nang maglakad na ang kagrupo ko dahil alam ko naman kung saan ako nabebelong eh sumunod lang ako.

Di naman ako nakikinig eh. I'm just having my own little soundtrip. Because I'm not interested talaga. And it's badtrip.

Ng kinahapunan ay nagbigay ng break ang aming professors. Gumala daw muna kami ng konti. Kaya ang saya ng ibang students.

They have their cameras with them. Others are having a selfie,groupie. Some are also having their vlogs.

Napatingin naman ako sa lumang theater. Naglakad ako hanggang sa makarating ako sa pinakadulo. Mag-isa lang ako dito at padilim na. It's kinda creepy but the hell i care.

Umupo ako sa isang bleacher at inilibot ang tingin sa theater. Nangingitim na ang malalaking poste ng semento at yung iba ay nagcacrack na. Probably caused by some earthquakes.

Nagulat ako ng may biglang tumalon sa aking likod. Galing siguro sa pinakataas na bleacher. Di ko naman napansin iyon kanina.

Shit! Is it ghost?

Napalingon ako at nakita ang bulto ng isang lalaki.

"Are you following me?"tumaas ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya.

"Excuse me,why would i follow you?"i spat.

"Oh I thought you're one of my flings."naningkit ang mata ko sa kanya.

"What?flings? Ew no!"napatayo na ako dahil sa inis.

Sino ba kase tong mayabang na to?

Nang nagtuloy-tuloy ang pagbaba niya sa bleacher doon ko napagtantong si Ram pala iyon.

Ram Edrence Adello, the one and only famous cassanova or should I say playboy. Kaya pala napagkamalan niya akong fling niya. Kase halos lahat ata ng babae sa school eh pinapatos.

But not me. Di ko siya type and never ko siyang magiging type.

A playboy like him doesn't suit a pretty ang gorgeous Margo Sophia Santos. And yeah it's me.

"What are you doing here?"Ram asked me.

"Nothing,just resting."i answered him with a poker face.

"Kanina napansin kita. It's like you're not in the mood. Meron ka ba?"natatawang tanong nito.

Kumunot ang noo ko at biglang nabuhay ang inis sa katawan. Ang bastos ng bibig. Kailangan niya ba talagang banggitin yung'meron' thing na yun.

Inirapan ko siya at umupo ulit . I crossed my legs and my arms in front of my chest at the same time.

"I just don't feel to be here. I hate History. For me it is so boring and annoying. They are digging the negative past and thoughts of the Philippines. Kahit anong mangyari e hindi naman mababago iyon. It's all the same and it will only remain."maarteng pahayag ko.

"Me too,I hate History."Ram said while tapping one of his feet to the ground with also a crossed arm's.

Naningkit ang mata ko sa kanya.

"How?"i ask him with disbelief.

I thought I'm the only human who hate it.

"I hate the History of how I bang girls."nakangising sagot nito. He even demonstrate it in front of me. It's like may hinahawakan siyang babae sa harapan niya at marahang umaatras-abante. Yuck!

Bumagsak ang balikat ko. I thought may kasama na ako but then wala pala. Wala palang kwenta tong kausap ko. Puro kabastusan lumalabas sa bibig eh.

I looked at him again with a disgust face. This filthy perverted man is really annoying.

Nagulat ako nang may bigalang sumulpot na babaeng tour guide sa harapan namin. As i looked at her i guess she's on her mid-50's or something.

"So Miss Santos,you hate History?I see."nanayo bigla ang balahibo ko sa lamig ng boses niya. And how come did she know my name . I don't have my ID with me. Impossible rin namang alam niya ang pangalan naming lahat. We're 200 for fvck sake.

Binalewala ko na lamang ang pakiramdam na iyon.

"Yes i do"."pormal na sagot ko sa kanya.

"Okay then, ill show you how beautiful and nice the history is. Babaguhin ko ang inyong pananaw."nakangiting sambit ng babae.

I'm starting to get confused. What is she talking about.

"What do you mean?ahm,ako lang naman po yung may ayaw."i manage to answer her.

"I insist miss Santos. Mr. Adello also hate History,right?"napabaling ang babae kay Ram.

Nagtataka kong tiningnan si Ram at nakakunot lang ang noo nito sa babae.

Bigla akong nagulat nang inilahad ng babae ang kanyang nakakuyom na kamay sa aming harapan. Binaliktad niya ito at unti-unting binuksan.

Nanlaki ang mata ko nang may lumutang na maliit na lumang orasan. Sa gilid ng aking mata nakita kong nagulat rin si Ram.

"Sa pagkakataong ito,maari ko na sigurong baguhin ang inyong pananaw, mahal kong binibini at ginoo?"sambit ng babae.

Ngunit hindi na ako nakasagot pa nang biglang lumiwanag ang aming paligid.
