《Unknown Worths》9

Y/N's POV.
"Goodevening, Ma'am." Adrius greeted.
"Bat andito yan?" Bulong ko kay ate Aika na nasa right side ko.
"Aba malay ko, gulat rin ako e." She replied.
Nakakunot ang noo ko habang pinanonood si Adrius na nakaupo sa harap ko.
"Napadalaw ka dito Adrius?" Ate Aiks asked.
"Gusto ko lang po makita si Patty," Sagot nya habang ngumunguya.
My brows furrowed, bakit nya kailangan makita si Patty?
"Eto naman kasing si Patty, sabi ko ayusin na namin para masaya na kaming dalawa. Bumalik sa dati kumbaga."
Ha? Anong bumalik sa dati?
Lumingon ako sa gilid ko para tignan kung alam ba ito ni ate Aika.
She looked confused, si Jill rin. Si Tita naman ay mukang hindi nagulat. Lalo naman si Patty.
"Ano na nga palang balita sa business mo Adrius?" Tita changed the topic.
"Okay na okay po, maganda na nga po ang projects na nakukuha namin. And soon magiging real estate company na po iyon, mukang magiging future kalaban pa nga po si Y/N," He laughed looking at me.
Natawa ako ng sobra. "Great joke!"
Narinig kong tumawa si Ate Aiks.
"It's not a joke," Sinamaan nya ako ng tingin.
Ay kala ko joke time.
I shrugged.
No one can make my company fall.
We continued eating while talking about some stuff. Napansin ko ring tahimik si Patty.
"You okay?" Baling ko kay Patty.
She just nodded, tumango rin ako.
"Ako na maghuhugas." Jillian volunteered.
We all agreed to let her, lagi naman kasi syang nagvovolunteer.
Kinuha ko ang phone ko at lumabas sa balcony to make a quick call.
"Hello?" The other person asked.
"So yon nanga, she seems to go out alot. Lagi nalang syang umaalis sa bahay nila." Chase replied.
San naman pumupunta yon?
"Yun lang?" I asked.
"Yeps."
"Just keep an eye, for now." I told him before hanging up the phone.
Pagkapasok ko naabutan kong hawak ni Adrius yung gitara ni Jillian. And Patty was watching him play the guitar.
Umupo ako sa sofa para makisali sakanila.
"Omg, you can play?" Jillian exclaimed, habang nagpupunas ng kamay. Katatapos nya lang maghugas.
Tumango lang si Adrius at ngumiti.
They took turns playing the guitar.
Wish I could play that too. Patty looked so amazed and proud, i wish she would look at me like that too.
Tumabi ako kay Patty at hinawakan ang kamay nya, pero iniwas nya ito. I looked at her confused.
Ni hindi nya naman ako tinignan.
Naintindihan ko rin na baka pagod lang sya. Tumango ako sa kawalan at tumayo para pumanik sa kwarto ni Patty para kumuha ng damit.

While I was getting my pantulog from the cabinet, I heard the door opened.
"Ate Aiks," I greeted not giving her a single glance.
"I know what your feeling right now," She started. "Your feelings are valid, Y/N. Speak up sometimes."
Tumango ako, stoping my tears to fall.
Don't cry, Y/N.
"I-I'm okay, Ate." Tinakpan ko ang bunganga ko gamit ang kamay ko dahil sa pagkautal ko, shit naman.
Shit naman, Y/N! Why the fuck did you stutter?! Kilala ka na masyado ni Ate Aika, alam nyang hindi ka okay!
Hindi ako tumitingin sakanya. I don't want any cringe staring contest today, I'm too tired.
"I'll take a bath downstairs, 'te Aiks." Paalam ko at hinawakan na ang doorknob ngunit hinawakan ni Ate Aika ang kamay ko. Hinila nya ako to give me a hug.
"Don't be too hard on yourself, wag mo kimkimin masyado. Speak up, nandito ako." She hugged me tight. "And crying is not bad, ilabas mo baka mapuno ka."
I hugged her back. Tumango ako at lumabas na para maligo.
Pagkababa ko nakita ko sila Adrius na naggigitara parin. Now Patty is singing with them.
Lumapit ako para sana sabihin kay Tricia na maliligo muna ako ngunit ng makita nya akong papalapit, lumipat sya sa tabi ni Adrius.
Ngumiti ako at tumango. Nagtama ang tingin namin ni Jill na mukang alam rin ang nangyayari. Nginitian ko lang sya as a sign that everything's okay.
Is it really okay though?
I entered the bathroom and took a hot shower, I needed this.
After that lumabas ako only to see that they are still vibing, bukod kay Jill na mukang hindi na natutuwa. Ngumiti akong muli.
The same smile I'm using to hide my true feelings.
Inilabas ko ang Ipad at Apple pencil para sana magnotes while watching the recorded meeting na hindi ko naattendan kahapon. But I was too distracted to do my work.
Pumanik ako sa kwarto ni Tricia para kumuha ng jacket at yung wallet ko. Habang pababa ng hagdan nagsusuot na ako ng jacket.
"Where are you going?" Jillian asked.
"7/11, sama ka?" Yaya ko naman sakanya. "Libre ko."
Nagningning agad ang mata nya, the next thing I knew nakajacket na sya.
San nya nakuha yon?!
Sakto namang lumabas ng kwarto si Tita.
"Hello, Tita." Sabay naming sabi ni Adrius pero hindi ko sya pinansin. "Labas po kami ni Jilly, sa 7/11 lang po."
Inakbayan ko si Jillian, I must say matangkad naman sya sadyang mas matangkad lang ako, hanggang almost baba ko lang sya!
Tumango naman si Tita kaya lumabas na kami.
"You seemed off," She told me. "Do you have a problem?"

Ngumiti ako, I admire them na patuloy akong kinukumusta. "I'm okay...siguro?"
I laughed to ease the athmosphere, bumibigat kasi.
Hindi na muling nagtanong si Jillian, I'm sure she knows the reason. Matalino yon eh!
Nang makarating kami pumunta agad ako sa mga drinks. I bought a can of beer and nutriboost choco, next I bought 3 pocky different flavors. Bumili narin ako ng ice cream.
Nakasalubong ko si Jillian malapit sa may ice cream.
"Yan na sayo?" I asked getting ready to pay. Tinanguan nya lang ako.
Pumila kami para makapagbayad na.
"Do you have marlboro blue? Isang stick lang?" I asked.
Tumango ang cashier at binayaran ko na lahat.
"Are you stressed?" Jilly asked.
Kilalang kilala nyo na ako ah, medyo nakecreepyhan na ako. emz.
"Why would you think I'm stressed?" I asked hoping hindi nya alam ang habits ko kapag naiistress.
"You know I really hate when you answer my question with another question. Pero nakakasense na ako sayo, you bought your comfort food for gods sake! And you only smoke when things get out of hand!" Tuloy tuloy nyang sabi.
Natawa ako. Kilala na nga ako masyado.
Sinabihan ko syang okay lang ako kahit na alam kong hindi sya maniniwala. Umupo muna sya saglit dahil sabi ko I'll smoke. And I don't want her to be exposed sa sigarilyo.
Habang naninigarilyo naiisip ko na ayaw ni Tricia ng naninigarilyo ako. She says its bad for my health and alot more sermon.
Ngayon nalang ako nanigarilyo for what? Almost 2 years!
Habang naiisip iyon tinapon ko agad ang sigarilyo kahit na hindi pa ito nauubos. Inapakan ko ito at nagalcohol sa buong katawan.
"Lets go." Sabi ko at kinuha ang mga plastic ng mga binili namin.
Nang makarating sa condo naabutan naming naguusap nalang sila Tricia.
Putangina, ayaw pa umuwi inaantok na ako!
Pumasok ako sa banyo para magtoothbrush.
I sat sa lapag katabi ni Jill na kumakain, humarap ako sa coffee table at ipinatong ang Ipad ko to watch a movie, ayoko naman kasi sa TV nahihiya ako.
Kinuha ko ang ice cream at sinimulang kainin ito habang nakaheadphones. And I noticed na tumayo na sila Tricia at Adrius ang HUGGED each other.
Tricia was all smiles.
Hindi ko sila pinansin at nagpatuloy sa pagkain at panonood. Jillian was actually watching rin. Kaya tinanggal ko yung headphones para marinig nya.
Nagulat ako ng may tumabi sa left side ko, Jillian was actually sitting on my right side.
I actually expected it to be Trish pero si Ate Aiks pala.
Nakikain pa!
Then sumara na ang pintuan meaning nakaalis na si Adrius.
"Y/N, did you smoke?" Seryosong tanong saakin ni Tricia.
"Y-yes, I'm sorry." I apologized not looking at her.
"Didn't I tell you to stop that habit?" She asked galit na.
"Tricia, wag kang magalit. I know Y/N-" Sabat ni Ate Aika na pinutol ni Tricia.
"Eh hindi nga kasi maganda yon diba?! Kaya naninigarilyo nanaman yan eh! Pinagtatanggol nyo pa!" Galit nyang sigaw.
I don't know bakit bigla nalang syang nagagalit..
"I'm sorry, hindi na mauulit." Tumingin ako sakanya.
Galit parin ang tingin nya.
"Hindi mo ba kilala si Y/N, Ate?" Jill asked her, Trish looked confused naman. "He smokes when things get out of hand. Kapag nahihirapan na sya, it's his coping mechanism."
Nawala ang galit sa mata ni Tricia, napatilan ito ng guilt.
Napaiwas ako.
"Hindi mo ba narerealize yung ginagawa mo sakanya?" Sabat rin ni Ate Aiks, kalmado naman syang nagsalita. "You have been ignoring him because of Adrius. Sino ba talaga ang boyfriend mo?"
Napatahimik ako.
"Ni hindi mo nga rin napansin na kaya kami nandito sa tabi ay kasi cinocomfort namin sya. He's even eating his comfort food.." Jillian said humihina ang boses.
"Hey, Tama na. I'm okay, it's fine. Wag nang ganyan, ayokong nagaaway kayo dahil sakin." Ngumiti ako sakanila.
Marunong akong magpigil ng luha, lalo na pag kaharap sila.
"Tapos tayo parin ang iniisip nya." Dagdag ni Jillian.
"Shhhh," Saway ko, baka magaway pa sila. "Okay lang ako! I'm just bored."
Nginitian ko sila.
Napapagod lang ako, pwede namang magpahinga.
"It's getting late, matulog na kayo." Para akong nanay nila na pinapatulog sila dahil may pasok sila bukas.
They looked at me intently.
"Sleep, it's good for ya'll." I shrugged.
"You're not okay." Ate Aika whispered enough for Trish to hear.
"I am okayyyyyyy!" Hinabaan ko yung 'y' para hindi mahalata.
"Matulog na kayo, shoo away!" I told them before standing up para itapon yung mga basura na wrappers.
Nang makabalik, they are still there. Walang gumalaw ni isa.
"Bala kayo jan, hihiga na ako." I told them at humiga na sa sofa. "Uminom ka ng tubig Jill, matamis kinain mo."
I played the movie nakaheadphones na ngayon since ako nalang naman ang manonood.
Isa isa nang umalis sila ate Aika, but Tricia is still there.
"Sleep na, Pat." I told her habang pinapatay yung movie, antok na ako.
Nagulat ako ng bigla syang yumakap saakin.
"I'm sorry," Paulit ulit nyang binanggit.
"Don't cry, it's okay." Ngiti ko.
Nang tumahan sya pinapanik ko na sya para matulog.
I'm tired as hell, pero isang yakap nya lang okay na uli ako.
