[align=center][b]My Girl is a Man[/b][/align]
Bestfriend
[b]* 5[/b]
The wedding ended, as well as the reception. Everything has ended.
I entered my room tapos hinubad yung belo ko.
Takteng kati, hirap na hirap pa ako maglakad kanina kasi nakaheels ako.
I stared at myself on the mirror.
Tiring.
I looked at my hand. I’m married.
The door suddenly opened.
“T-Topher.”
“Oy.”
He entered my room, like how he always did, and lied down on my bed.
“Ready ka na.” He muttered.
“Ano?” I asked him.
“We’re going to Honeymoon.”
“What?” I asked.
Naupo siya, mukhang nalugi pa rin e.
“Serious?” I asked him.
“There are already plane tickets to Aklan, mukha ba akong nagbibiro?”
Napangiwi ako, tapos napatingin sakanya.
“Bakit ang sungit mo?”
He just looked at me. Napailing ako.
“Sabi ko na e, wala pang isang araw, nag sisisi ka na.” I mumbled.
“Anong nagsisisi? May sinabi ba akong nagsisisi ako?”
Sinimangutan ko siya.
“E sa kilos mo pa lang alam na e.”
“Hindi kaya, Honey naman e.”
YUCK. That disgusted me.
“YUCK. Wag mo nang ulitin yan, kinikilabutan ako.” I told him habang nagiimpake na.
“Bakit naman? Come on, Babe, we’re married. We must call each other that way.”
“LUL. Wag mong dibdibin okay? Alam natin kung bakit tayo nagpakasal ngayon.”
“Because we love each other.”
Natigilan ako, napakagat labi.
You don’t love me.
I’m the only one who loves you and I have been loving you throughout my life.
“Stop kidding.” I whispered.
“AHAHA. Nagjojoke lang ako e. Ayaw ko kasing dibdibin lahat ng bagay ngayong gabi. Our first night.”
I looked at him, pero nakikita ko ring hindi siya masaya.
Tumingin din siya sakin, tapos ngumiti.
“Upo ka sa tabi ko, Babe.”
“Tigilan mo nga ako Topher, kadiri ka.”
Umupo siya bigla then he clicked his tongue.
“As if naman, arte mo. Pasalamat ka nga tinuturing na kitang babae dahil sa nakita ko kaninang may potential ka habang naka wedding gown, pero dahil balik ka na sa dati, forget it.”
“Well sorry for being such a disappointment, ang gwapo mo kasi sobra at wala ako sa kalingkingan mo.” Minata ko siya, pinandilatan niya rin ako.
“Aba mabuti at alam mo. Maswerte ka at isang tulad ko ang nagpakasal sayo.”
“Ang kapal ng mukha mo, feeling mo naman.”
“E totoo naman e.”
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.
“Ano bang pinagmamalaki mo? Kala mo ba lahat ng babae magkakagusto sayo? As if.”
“Aba umaas if ka, e linya ng babae yan.”
“Baka babae ako!”
He leered at me.
“O talaga? Sang part? Tingnan mo nga yang katawan mo, walang curve. Matagal na tayong magkasama pero hindi ko lang masabi sayo e. Wala ka ring dibdib at puwet, ano ka, poste?”
Nakakainis! Grabe na siya!
“Ang yabang yabang mo!”
“O talaga.”
Tinulak ko siya.
“Lumabas ka nga! Ayoko Makita yang pagmumukha mo!”
Tumayo siya na pangiti ngiti.
“Mag impake ka na Babe ah, aalis tayo mamayang gabi. Mwah.”
Then he left me.
I stomped my feet. Kaasar!

We arrived at the hotel in Bora. Yeah, ayun nagtyaga akong kasama ko siya, pero bad trip pa rin ako sakanya. I don’t feel like we’re here for a Honeymoon, parang nandito kami para mambabae siya at ewan ko ba.
We entered a room, nilapag ang mga bags.
One bed?
“We’re sharing one bed?” I asked him.
“Aba malamang, we’re married. Tsaka ano ka ba? Para naming hindi tayo natutulog ng tabi dati ah.” He said then pumasok sa CR.
Oo nga naman.
Bakit ganito ang epekto sakin? Dahil ba.. Sa kasal na nga kami?
Pero bakit sakanya parang wala lang?
Napailing ako. Why am I even asking a question with an obvious answer?
He’s still the same. Walang nagbago. Sa mata ng Diyos, ng mga tao at sa papel, kasal kami.
Pero para sakanya,
I’m still his old best friend.
Sumisikip ang dibdib ko.
Why did I expect anything will change when in the first place, I knew that he’s not in love with me and never will he?
--
“Hoy Dette, tara, labas tayo.” He told me, nanunuod kasi ako nun, it was already 6, gabi na.
“Lumabas ka mag isa.”
“Bakit ka nagmumukmok dito?” He asked me. “Tara na bestfriend.” He pulled me up from the couch, I struggled.
“Tinatamad pa ‘ko!”
“Ang korni mo naman e.” He muttered. “Wala ka talagang fun sa buhay mo, tingnan mo haggard ka. Ganyan ka pa rin manamit, Dette? Baguhin mo naman. You’re already a married WOMAN.”
Natatawang sabi niya at inemphasize pa yung WOMAN.
“Bakit ko pa kelangang magpalit? Sa tingin ko naman wala kang balak ipagsigawan sa mundo na kasal ka sa babaeng tulad ko.”
Ngumiti siya tapos parang umarteng nag iisip.
“Kunsabagay, may point ka.” Then he laughed. Kaasar, sana man lang nagpakasensitive siya sa pagsagot.
“Anyway, antayin kita sa lobby. Bye!” He told me tapos bumaba na siya.
GRR.

We walked around the beach. Ayun, like how we used to be. He bought some stuffs, mga burloloy para sa barkada niya, ako naman e walang barkada e, what’s the point na bumili ako?
Then we bought ice cream and continued walking.
Bigla kaming napadaan sa isang night club.
“This is my house babe.” He muttered to himself.
“Wag mong sabihing papasok ka?” I asked him.
“Oo, bakit hindi?”
Napailing ako.
“Iiwan mo ‘ko dito?”
“Anung iiwan, e di sumama ka.”
I glared at him. “I don’t enter such places, alam mo yan Topher.”
“Get a life, Dette.”
He told me sabay hatak papasok, I yelled in protest, pero wala na akong nagawa. As soon as we entered the club, he left me.
People were dancing and the music was too loud to hear anything else.
Nakakabadtrip, I want to go out.
I was pushed with anyone in front or behind me. Nagsasayawan sila, nahihilo na rin ako.
Then suddenly I paused in a moment, and got hurt.
Topher was already talking to somebody else.
A girl we’ve never seen.
Napakagat ako ng labi. Bakit ba kasi ako nagpunta dito? Bakit ako nasasaktan ng ganito when in the first place, alam ko na hindi niya talaga ako mahal di ba?
Pero WTF.
We’re married.
Pero hindi ko siya masumbatan dahil siguradong magtataka siya kung bakit ganito ang nararamdaman ko tuwing nakikita ko siyang may kasamang iba.
Then suddenly, somebody pinch my butt then whispered: “Hi Miss.”
Lalong nakapag init ng ulo.
I looked back and punched him in the face.
Nagkagulo.
The music stopped, pero wala na akong pakielam.
“LOKO KA AH! @#!?”
Topher came rushing to me.
--
He let go of me, nasa labas na kami ng club, hinatak niya ako palabas dahil sobrang nag iinit na ang dugo ko.
“Anung nangyari?!”
“That guy piched my butt!”
Pagkarinig niya, parang natawa siya.
“Serious? Grabe naman yun. May nakaisip pa palang babae ka.”
I can’t help but feel hurt upon seeing his reaction. Tagus tagusan na. Masyado nang masakit.
My tears started falling, then that made him look shocked.
“D-Dette?”
“Tama na, Topher. Sobra na.” I mumbled. “I’ve always told you to stop making me feel like this, to stop calling me man or anything. Kasal na tayo, Topher. Is it that not enough reason to treat me how I need to be treated?”
“Dette..”
“You just left me there inside tapos may kasama ka nang iba? Respeto naman.”
He clicked his tongue, as he faced me and stared at me.
“What do you mean, Dette? Alam mo naman di ba? You and I.. Wala naman talagang dapat mamagitan satin e. We’re doing this for the sake of business. We’re just best friends.”
Napatungo ako, and I wiped my tears away.
“R-Right, tama ka Topher.”
I looked at him.
“You can do whatever you want and so as I. Just like before, yun nga lang, we have to protect our images for the sake of our parents and the business. To avoid scandals.”
I smiled, forced.
