Gene has has a girlfriend

Naabutan ko si Star doing some typing on her laptop.

“Baby girl! Here’s your coffee. I know you badly need it.”

“Thanks bro! You really know me.” Sabi niya sakin.

Mabulaklak talaga ang bibig nang batang to. Even though she’s younger than me for just two years ay baby sister ang turing ko for she’s my one and only sister.

(Ring…ring…ring..)

Gosh another phone call. Ano ba tong cellphone ko call center?

He answered it anyway.

“Hello!”

“Hi, babe!”

Tiningnan niya ulit ang pangalan sa phone niya. The person calling him now is Taylor.

“Oh! ‘Bat ka napatawag?”

“Well, I’m good and well. Thanks for asking.”

“Sorry, I’m just tired. So, how was your work?”

“Okay naman. I just want to hear your voice.”

“Are coming home this weekend? It’s mama’s birthday.”

“Ohh! Next week napala yun? Sorry babe, tumawag ako to let you know that I will be extending my stay here for a month. We have a new project coming and we still have a lot of things to do.”

Bumuntong hininga sya. As expected of here so called girlfriend. Wala itong time sa kanya and his family. Kahit di alam ng mga ito ang tunay na relasyon nila ay naghahangad parin itong makasalo siya kasi idol ito ng mama niya. My mom was a model once when she was in her twenties. Kaya nang malaman nito na kilala ko si Taylor ay agad itong nag sabi na gusto niyang ma meet ito but because of her hectic schedule di matuloy tuloy ang dinner na matagal na niyang pinaghandaan. Parati nalang nadismaya ang mama nuya kaya everytime na birthday nito talagang inaaya ko si Taylor na dumalo. My mom is just a simple woman kaya every birthday she has she wants to spend it with us, her family.

“As expected! But it’s fine, I’ll just make an alibi just like every other year.”

“Babe naman eh, you know how busy I am.”

“I know kaya nga I want to understand your job as well as your career. O, sya sige I’ll go ahead. I have a full pack reservation tonight. Have a good day!”

Binaba ko na yung telepono because I know na away lang ang patutunguhan niyon.

“Star, I’m heading to the resto would you like to come?”

“No thanks, kuya! I have tons of things to do.”

I bid my goodbye. Habang nasa daan ay naalala ko ang oras kung saan na meet ko si Taylor.

(Two and a half years ago)

I was driving my motorcycle carefully when someone bump me. Luckily, walang ganong katinding damage ang napala ko kasi naka full gear ako ng suot. Nang tingnan ko ang kotse na naka bangga sa akin nakita ko ang isang babae na umiiyak.

“Miss, are you alright? May masakit ba sa iyo?”

Tanong ko sa kanya. Umiling sya bilang sagot tapos sinabihan ko syang bumaba muna at uminom ng tubig na dala. She seems in shock kay naiintindihan kong ayaw niyang magsalita.

“Blood! Blood!” she shouted in a scary tone.

“Nasan miss? Nasan ang masakit? Nasan yung dugo na sinasabi mo?”

I asked in panicky voice. Diko alam pano aluin to, even though I have a sister di ko alam pano mag alag akaya naman I don’t know how to calm her down.

“Miss, take a deep breath and then tell me kung okay ka lang ba o may masakit ba sa iyo.”

She took a deep breath just like what I’ve told her. Tapos sabi nya sakin that I have wounds on my head. Hinawakan ko ang noo ko at doon ko nalaman that I have a cut in my forehead at mukhang malalim. Kaya pala parang nahihilo ako.

“Okay lang ako.” Sa wakas ay sabi nito.

“I’ll take you to the hospital. The car has only a scratch and you need to be treated immiiately.” Dagdag pa niya.

Tumango ako to give my answer kasi talagang nahilo na ako. Pagkarating namin sa bayan ay nakita ko na inasikaso nila agad yung babae. Tapos ibang doktor din ang nag asikaso sa akin. After several minutes, natapos naring tahiin ang sugat sa noo ko ay inilipat nila ako sa ward for further observation daw.
