04 - AWIE

Monday past like a wind. I am now preparing myself to go to the concert, that I am not sure if I really want to go after the interaction that happened to me and my ex's brother last Sunday. 

It was like opening my big wound again. Para lang gumaling dapat buksan ulit. I hope it will work, because I know if it doesn't baka hindi ko na rin kayanin.

Nagsuot lang ako ng mga damit na alam kong komportable ako. I just wore my black off shoulder and a maong skirt and of course my favourite shoes. Nakalugay lang ulit ang buhok ko and nagsuot lang ako ng bonet.

I make that wala akong nakalimutan and wala ng mga saksak na appliances. Lumabas na ako nung maicheck kona lahat.

I waited for the elevator and after some time dumating na ito. I remembered the last time na sumakay ako rito with 26, the basketball player. Hindi ko pala natanong pangalan non, but never mind "26" is better.

Nasa parking na ako kaya pumunta agad ako kung saan nakapark yung sasakyan ko. Sumakay na ako sa aking kotse. It is a black Lamborghini na binigay saakin ni dad noong nagdebut ako. 

Inilagay ko na ang aking small sling bag where I put my phone and wallet sa passenger seat at pinaharurot na ang sasakyan ko patungo sa malaking stadium dito sa city. Mga 20 minutes yung biyahe but it's okay. 

That place became one of my nightmare. I got to that place once and I thought na hindi na ako pupunta roon, but look at me now, nagdradrive patungo sa isa sa mga lugar na ayaw kong puntahan.

I got nervous noong makadating na ako roon sa parking lot. I wore my sun glasses ang a face mask  too cause it's 4 pm palang and mainit. Bumaba na ako and went to the elevator of the stadium pa punta kung saan nakahintay sina Lorry. 

I was walking and looking around. Maraming pinagbago dito, the last time I went here kulay white lang yung pader but now it's colorful. Like? Wow! They made this place a happy place, but nothing changed for me it's still one of my nightmare.

Habang naglalakad ako a little kitten ran to me. It was color white with black. It is so cute kaya kinarga ko muna siya and tumingin sa paligid. Wala akong nakita kaya hindi muna ako dumeretso kina Ava baka kasi mawala pa tong kitty, kawawa naman yung owner.

Mamaya pang 6pm ang simula ng concert but pinapapasok na ang mga aattend ng 5pm. It's 4:30 already and 20 minutes ko ng karga yung kitty sa kamay ko. 

My phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Sagot ko sa tawag.

"Where are you, Calista? Sure kabang pupunta ka?" Tanong ni Ava sa kabilang linya.

"Tanga! Diba tinext kita kanina na papunta na and nandito na ako ngayon sa parking lot. Wait for me there. I'll just use the comfort room in a minute." Sabi ko naman at pinatay ang tawag.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko rito sa pusang ito. Sino kaya nagmamayari dito?

I was about to let go of the cat, when i heard a manly voice calling someone.

"Awie! Awie! Come to Daddy, Baby! Awie asan ka na?" I heard him coming our way.

Nung naliko niya na kung nasan kame he run towards  us and grabbed the cat harshly. Does he think that I stole his cat? And wait parang nakikilala ko to? Have I met him somewhey? Or maybe napadaan lang sa harap ko.

"What did you do to my Awie?" He asked with his serious tone.

"I didn't do anything on your cat, mister. Besides, I was looking for her owner and I guess it's you, so goodbye take good care of your cat next time so hindi nawawala." I said to him and I was about to go when he suddenly spoke again.

"So, your saying that I am not taking care of her? Excuse me? I am a busy person too and yung yaya nito ang pabaya not me. And you should be careful next time cause hindi ko na ulit itotolerate yung ginawa mo sa cat ko. Imbes kasing hanapin yung owner, nagstay lang rito and wait for it. Hindi ka ba nagiisp huh? Miss? Kung hindi ako dumating? Dito ka lang hanggang may maghanap diyan?" Talak ng bunganga ng lalake.

"Kung ako sayo, you should be thankful cause ako ang nakapulot diyan sa pusa mo. My friends are waiting for me because we are attending a concert, but I am here waiting for someone to get this cute creature. Hindi ko basta bastang sinasayang yung oras ko, but today I just spend my 30 minutes to stay with this poor creature, kasi yung mga taong nasa paligid niya walang pake. Tapos anong nakuha ko? Insult from the lovely owner. Wow! Can't believe this!" Sabi ko at umalis na dahil I cant stand it anymore yung dugo ko umaakyat na sa ulo.

Pagkarating ko tuloy kina Ava nagmumura parin ako. They were shock when they looked at me furious. 

"Cali? We didn't forced you to go here, Huh? Ikaw yung may gusto." Sabi bigla ni Berenice.

Tumungo naman yung dala sa akin. I now what they are thinking, but hindi yon yung issue ngayon, ang issue is that that fucking man out there just fricking insulted me a while ago.

"That's not what you think. May nangyari lang habang papunta ako rito and it's not important anymore. Let's enjoy this night, with you idols. Let's go?" I explained.

"Let's go!!!!!!" Patalon talon pa si Lorry na parang bata habang sumisigaw.

Dumating na kame sa entrance and the guard check our tickets and alam ko naman na kinuha talaga ng mga bruhang ito yung malapit sa stage. Pumasok na kame at umupo. Marami talaga ang tao, but hindi pa crowded kasi malaki naman yung stadium.

Nung malapit na magsix, marami na talagang mga tao ang nasa loob and hindi ko alam kung anong mafefeel ko saya dahil once again nakaya kong pumunta rito or takot. Ganito rin kasi yung senaryong yon.A lot of people here in the stadium. Nasaksihan nung iba kung paano nagiba yung mundo ko sa araw na iyon.

Napabalik ako sa katinuan nung biglang nagpatugtog ng malakas na sound ang mga nagooperate sa sound system. Sign that the idols of my friends will come out already. Todo sigaw ang lahat pati narin mga kaibigan ko parang lalabas na yung mga lungs nila sa kakasigaw.

Unti- unting lumilitaw ang mga lalake sa stage cause yung entrance nila is yung middle part stage is tumataaas and bumababa. Pagkatapos nakatalikod pa.

Noong visible na talaga sila is mas naghiyawan ang madla. Nakakabingi. 

The boys turned around and I was shocked when I recognize the boy standing in the middle.
