Be With Him

“Good evening”

That voice. After five years ngayon ko na lamang ulit narinig ang boses na ‘yon.

Mabilis ako’ng lumingon sa likudan ko at tama ang aking hinala.

He’s here. Adam my ex-lover is here.

I looked at him, he’s wearing a semi-formal suit, black tux and gray polo sa loob habang naka-bukas ang tatlong butones sa kaniyang dibdib.

He looks more manly, hindi na ganoong kakita ang pagiging kulot niya and the same brown eyes that I loved.

“Good evening, let’s drink?” I smiled at him but he just looked emotionless at me before sitting beside me, ito lang ang bakante dahil wala si Lynx.

“Ah.. Long time no see, Asunscion” Gelo smirked at him, hindi ko alam kung sarcastic ba ito o ano pero mukha namang walang pake si Adam dahil tumango lang siya at tinungga ang ni-offer nilang drink.

“I heard you’re a lawyer now?” Bahagyang nanlaki ang aking mga mata, Last year pa siya grumaduate e. He nodded not even glancing at Steve who asked.

“Wew, Congrats Attorney” they all laughed when Fortune who seems bothered suddenly talked.

I can’t help but to get confused.

“Guys? Why are you so awkward?” I asked still crossing my brows “Did you guys fought?” I asked the triplets but they just looked at me with disbelief.

“Away agad, Peralta?!” Gelo acted hurt while helding his chest, okay lasing na ‘to, delikado ” Ex mo kase siya! Syempre awkward para sa inyo!”

I laughed while pointing at him.

“Ayan naiisip niyo?!” Tatawa-tawa akong lumingon sa kanilang apat, they all nodded making me laughed again. “Dudes…” I smirked, umusog ako papalapit kay Adam at inakbayan ito “Five years have past, move on na kami ‘oy! Di’ba? Attorney?!”

His eyes landed on mine, still the same magnetic brown eyes, he nodded and smirked “Yeah…”

Life is full of lies.

I plastered a smile before smirking at them proving I am right.

“Well?” I even shrugged my shoulders, nagyayabang.

Kung siguro ako pa yung Reu na patay na patay kay Asunscion for sure naka yakap na agad ako sa kanya ngayon, but well…. everything have changed.

“Hey!” Lynx suddenly appeard and pulled my hair

“A-aray!” I was about to grab her hair when someone pulled me, It was Adam.

“Who are you? What are you doing?” His faced darkened while still holding my wrist and glaring at Lynx.

“Oohhh, you look familia—Oh my god?! Adamson Asunscion?!” Lynx yelped at nagmukha pa siyang bulateng inasinan dahil sa biglang pag-kembot nito “Uh-huh, someone’s back, Canary!”

I chucked when she jumped to hug me, I looked at Adam.

“I’m sorry, She’s Lynx.. My friend” I smiled apologetically to him and pushed Lynx making her sat on the couch “Tawagin mo pinsan nito” I ordered Fortune but he just rolled his eyes, syempre nasa pinas ang pinsan nito kaya si Fortune ang maga-asikaso dito.

“Where’s Sadako?” Mabilis akong napa-layo kay Lynx ng bigla itong mag-salita, kingina ano namang gagawin dito ni Sadako?!

“Who’s Sadako?” I looked at Fortune, ito isa pang tanga.

“The lady with the long hair? And ring? You don’t know her?!” Lynx seems shocked with her widened eyes and half-opened lips “She’s th–”

“Hi” When suddenly a woman out of nowhere approached us, Lynx eyes become small and glared at the woman.

“Siya!” Our eyes widened when Lynx suddenly stood up, eyes widened, jaw dropped, We have the same reaction–Lynx and I– when we saw who’s in front of me

“She’s Sadako!!”

“Soriena…”

Is she really here? What the fuck, reunion?!

“O-oh…” She looked shocked, mukhang hindi talaga inaasahan to ha, tangina mo tadhana.

“I’m sorry… She’s my plus one I was talking about, Fortune” he boredly looked at me before turning his gaze to Fortune who seems high because he’s smiling while staring at the floor, w33d$ pa. Char

After an hour or two we decided to call that a night before bidding our goodbyes to each other.

“Aga-aga!!” Mabilis akong napahilamos sa mukha ko ng may kumatok sa pintuan na akala mo ay wala nang bukas dahil sa lakas ng katok, sino na naman ba ‘to? “Sandale! Putangina!”

Inis akong napa-kamot sa ulo ko at mabilis na tinungo ang pintuan at halos magwala ang puso ko ng bumungad sa’kin ang isang anghel na pinalayas sa langit, Si Adam.

“G-good m-morning” he said almost whispered, I saw how his eyes surveyed me from head to toe, kung jowa ko pa ‘to baka nahiya ako sa itsura ko ngayon pero sino ba ‘to? Char.

“Ano?! Ang aga naman e!” I stumped my feet because of my frustration, sakit ng ulo ko, shit.

“N-no.. Akala ko narito si Steve” he scratched his nose a little, his face reddened.

“Namumula ka, ayos ka Lang?” Pansin ko din ang kanina pa siya tingin ng tingin sa likudan niya, mamaya may nakikita pala to’ng hindi ko nakikita e, pero wait “M-may nakikita ka bang m-multo?”

This time hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko na lumapit sa kaniya at ipalibot ang tingin ko, gago mag-isa lang ako dito.

“What?” His brows crossed while looking at me confusedly but he just sighed “Aalis na ako… and please wear your shirt?!”

Fuck.

Mabilis akong napa-baba ng tingin at doon ko lamang napansin kung anong dahilan kung bakit namumula ang mukha niya. Oh my god!!

Mabilis ko’ng sinara ang pintuan at nagtatakbo sa banyo, putanginang katangahan yan Peralta!

Napa-pikit ako ng mariin habang tinitignan ang sarili ko sa salamin, Naka-suot lamang ako ng isang pink boxer at isang black na bra, bahagya pang naka-angat ang boxers ko na animo’y natupi sa dulo dahil sa pag-tulog ko, kingina, literal na tanga.

“Okay lang yan, bra lang ‘yon… bra lang ‘yon” pilit ko’ng kinakausap ang sarili ko para i-cheer up pero pakshet! Argh! Nakakahiya talaga!

With my forehead creased mabilis ko’ng kinuha ang cellphone ko na nasa tabi ng sink at tinignan kung sino’ng nag message.
