My Trans Pagibig

Chapter 42: Marites Mode

CHAPTER 42: MARITES MODE

SALLIE (POV)

"P- paano mo gagawin 'yun?" Tanong ko sa mahirap tanggihan na offer ni Miranda. May point naman siya eh. As in, on point talaga no. Gagawin ko talaga ang very best ko para mapanatili sa akin si Ancient. Duuuuuh! Mapapanatili ko siya at magiging totoo ang lahat. 

"Hindi ako. Tutulong lang ako pero ikaw pa rin ang aarangkada para makuha mo siya." Saka siya umiba ng tingin. "Wala naman na akong jowa. Hindi na ako masyadong busy. Thesis nalang ang problema ko."

"Thank you talaga Miranda. Na- miss ko 'yung ganito. Nagtutulungan tayo para makuha natin 'yung goals natin." Kinuha ko ang mga kamay niya. "Hindi raw nakapag- usap sina Arthur at Ancient. Kakausapin ko siya para sayo." 

"Wag na Sallie. Wag na. I realized na sobrang naging toxic ko sa relationship namin. Hindi ko masisisi kung na- fall out of love na siya sa akin. I can't blame him kung nakahanap man siya ng pagmamahal sa iba. Sana lang kung sinuman 'yun ay masaya na siya. Masakit. Mahirap. Pero magmo- move on ako. Makakalimutan ko rin siya someday. Mawawala rin itong sakit na ito. Isa pa magiging busy naman din kasi ako sa pagtulong sa iyo para makuha mo si Ancient. Marami pa tayong bonding moments na pagsasaluhan."

Naisip ko ang isa ko pang kaibigang si Waldo. Ang magandang baklang 'yun ang dahilan eh. Siya ang nagdilig sa bulaklak nitong si Arthur. Bahala na silang mag-open ng mga ganong bagay. Kebs na ako. Issue nila 'yun. Help help hooray ko nalang sila kapag warla na sila.

"May isa pa tayong pagkakaabalahan. Kailangan kabogera tayo bukas sa coronation night." Saka ko siya kinindatan.

Bumalik na kami sa kwarto namin matapos naming lumamon. Habang nagpapababa ng kinain ay nag- practice kami ng walk namin para sa sports wear at evening gown sa coronation night. Sumubok din kaming sumagot ng beauty queen questions para sa Q&A.

"Here's you question Ms. ECE- Extravagant University." Kunyari ako ang judge na magbibigay ng tanong. "What is the essence of being a lady engineer?" 

"Thank you so much to our beautiful judge for the wonderful question. I believe that we are all created equal by the one and only God in heaven. So for me, the essence of a lady engineer is the same as the men. We are here to serve and innovate for the benefit of mankind. And I thank you!"

"Ginalingan mo naman masyado Miranda." Napa- slow clap nalang ako. Gigil din ako nitong pinsan ko eh. "My turn. Ako naman ang tanungin mo."

"Okay sige. Candidate number two, here's your question. If you are given a chance to change the world. What will you do to change it?" 

Huminga ako ng malalim. "Wow! Thank you for the mind- blowing question. That question deserves an answer that will satisfy it perfectly. But nobody's perfect so I won't bother answering your question. Sallie! Twenty! Philippines!"

"Hahaha! Luku- luko ka talaga Sallie."

Habang tawa nang tawa si Miranda ay nakatanggap ako ng message kay Ancient. Nagpaalam lang ako sa pinsan ko na makikipagkita ako kay Ancient. Ang totoo'y si Arthur ang pakay ko. Nasa science garden daw ito ng campus. Nakita ito roon ni Ancient na mag- isang nakaupo sa bench.

Bago ako dumiretso sa garden ay tinawagan ko na muna si Waldo. "Hello te Walda."

"Teeeeeeeee!" Halos mabingi ako sa pagkakasigaw niya sa kabilang linya. "Kumusta na ang Palawan? Kumusta naman kayo ni Ancient? Kayo ba ang magkatabi sa kama? May tsuktsak tsenes tulo ang t***d ba na naganap?" 

"Huy! Napakabastos mong bakla ka. Walang ganern mars. Magkahiwalay kami ng room. Kami ni Miranda ang magkasama."

"Huwat?! Yung bruha mong pinsan ang kasama mo sa room? May putol na ba kayong katawan? Nakakarampa pa ba kayo? Hindi kayo pwedeng magkasama sa isang room ng pinsan mo te!" Ang OA ng reaksyon ni Waldo ah.

"Loka! Bati na kami!"

"Weeeeeeh! Mamatey? End of the world na ba? Wag mo akong pinaglololoko Sallie ah! Papadala kita sa buwan sige ka!" 

"Saka ko na i- chika sayo. Si Arthur ba hindi mo kukumustahin?" Tanong ko. Aba natahimik ang bakla. Hindi kaagad nakasagot. Babae yarn?

"Huh? Bakit ko naman siya kukumustahin?" 

"Virgin te? Sarap kurutin ng hotdog mo na nakaikot papunta sa pwet mo ah! May chika ako sayo at need ko rin ng tulong mo."

"A- anong chika mo?" Kapag si Arthur umuurong ang dila ni bakla oh. 

"Hiwalay na sila ni Miranda. Warla sila ngayon dito. I know. I know na tuwang- tuwa ka dyan. Pero I want to help help hooray my pinsan din naman bilang peace on Earth na kami ngayon. Susubukan kong kausapin si Arthur ngayon na kausapin na niya ng maayos si Miranda. Coronation na namin bukas te. Kailangan mentally and emotionally ready kami. Kailangan naming manalo. Mga after thirty minutes tawagan mo naman siya. Kamustahin mo. Segundahan mo na rin na kausapin niya ang pinsan ko." Saka ko natanaw na tumayo na5 si Arthur. "Te after thirty minutes ah. Bababa ko na 'to. Paalis na si Arthur. Wag kang masyadong kiligin dyan!"

Nagtatakbo na ako palapit kay Arthur. Hiningal tuloy ako. "Arthur wait. Mag- usap naman tayo oh. Please."

"Pwede ba wag niyo na akong kausapin pa. Hindi ako makikipag- usap kay Miranda. I had enough. Gagalingan ko pa rin naman sa individual performance bukas eh. Mananalo ako." Lalakad na siya paalis pero hinigit ko talaga siya. Tinitigan niya lang ako ng masama. 

Napabitiw tuloy ako. Baka masapak ako eh. Saka ako ngumiti ng pilit. "Quickie lang naman. Please. Kausapin mo na ako. Hindi mo kailangang sumagot. Magmo- monologue ako rito ng ilang minuto lang. Ang kailangan mo lang gawin ay makinig with all your ears and heart."

"Ano ba kasi 'yun huh?" 

Insert background music muna para bitin kayo. 'Yung pambakla ah. Gigil ako ng klosetang 'to. Oops!... I did it Again by Queen Britney Spears.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again

I made you believe we're more than just friends

Oh baby

It might seem like a crush

But it doesn't mean that I'm serious

'Cause to lose all my senses

That is just so typically me

Oh baby, baby

Oops, I did it again

I played with your heart, got lost in the game

Oh baby, baby

Oops, you think I'm in love

That I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this

I'm dreaming away

Wishing that heroes, they truly exist

I cry, watching the days

Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways

But to lose all my senses

That is just so typically me

Oh baby, oh

Oops, I did it again

I played with your heart, got lost in the game

Oh baby, baby

Oops, you think I'm in love

That I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

All aboard

Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have

Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this?

Yeah, yes it is

But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end

Well baby, I went down and got it for you

Aww, you shouldn't have

Oops, I did it again to your heart

Got lost in this game, oh baby

Oops, you think that I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent

Oops, I did it again

I played with your heart, got lost in the game

Oh baby, baby

Oops, you think I'm in love

That I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent

Oops, I did it again

I played with your heart, got lost in the game

Oh baby, baby

Oops, you think I'm in love

That I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent

"Totoong nagbago na si Miranda. 'Yan ang una. Alam kong nagdududa ka pa rin pero paano mo malalaman kung hindi mo bibigyan ang sarili mong alamin sa pamamagitan ng pagkausap sa kanya. Pag- usapan niyo ang mga naging problema niya. Hindi niyo naman kailangang magkabalikan eh. Maganda at mapayapang closure lang sapat na. Pangalawa, ayokong panghimasukan, maniwala ako ayoko talaga. Ayokong panghimasukan ang sexuality mo at ang recent discoveries mo. Oh di ba lakas maka- Magellan sa doscoveries. Yes, I know right. Alam ko kung anong meron sa inyo ni Waldo. Alam ko na rin kung ano ka. Hindi mo naman kailangang sabihin 'yun kay Miranda para magkaroon kayo ng closure pero mas okay na magpahaging ka na kasi World War IV kapag nalaman niya pa sa iba ang si Waldo ang dahilan. Ayun lang. Ang bilis lang di ba? Escape na ako. Babush!"

Saka ko siya tinalikuran at naglakad palayo. "Kaloka! Hindi ko na yata dapat sinabi 'yung sa kanila ni Waldo. 'Yung bunganga ko rin kung minsan may sariling buhay eh. Nakakaloka!"
