37: that leave me with no choice
#DWTDWP

RYU

I throw my backpack on the backseat bago padabog na sumakay sa sasakyan.

"Do not get acquainted with my mom. I don't want her to be friends with psychos," sabi ko habang inaayos ang seat belt.

She started the engine without even looking at me. "Ops, her choice not yours plus I am really easy to get along with, you can't blame her. I'm also very likeable."

I smirked at her. "So, where are we going?" I asked.

"Somewhere."

This is making me pissed. How am I supposed to know where the hell is that somewhere? Plus it is irritating to see she doesn't even take a single glance at me. I know it's safer to drive and focus on the road pero kalalabas lamang namin ng bahay, the road is  clear and she won’t get us dead if she will take a glance or two at me.

She doesn’t even seems like the hyper titless that I knew.  Yup, she’s still titless and annoying but she’s not that titless and annoying lemon that I knew.

“May problema ka ?” tanong ko.

“Wala.”

See? There is something wrong here.

“Come on Titless, I know we’re not close pero kung may problema ka, you can say it to me,” wika ko. That if I am even willing to listen which seldom happens at isa ang pagkakataong ito sa mga ‘seldom moments’ na iyon.

Hindi ko mapigilan ang ngumiwi sa inis nang nanitili pa rin siyang tahimik at nakafocus pa rin sa daan. Now this is really pissing me off. I hate it when people don’t talk to me. Ayaw ko sa mga taong nagiging pipi o di kaya ay bingi nang biglaan. Like hey, people decided to talk to you, do not be a bitch! Who the hell are you to treat people like trash as if they don’t exist just because you are having a bad day?

I do not even think she had a bad day to start with. Hyper pa siya kanina, tapos bigla na lamang ganito? What the hell happened?

“You know titless I hate it when I’m being ignored.”

“Ah okay.”

Damn, gusto niya yata akong magalit.

“Look, ikaw ang nagyaya sa akin, ni hindi nga ako pumayag but you used my mom and that leave me with no choice but to tag along. Ni ayaw mo ngang sabihin sa akin kung saan mo balak pumunta. Now you’re not talking nor glancing at me, what the hell is wrong with you?”

She scoffed as she stepped on the brakes with force.

“Ang ingay mo, alam mo ba?” nakataas ang kilay na wika ko.

“That is not the point here!” hindi niya ba maukha ang pinupunto ko? Now it’s seriously making me more pissed than I was before.

“You’re not going to shut up, aren’t you?” she asked.

My eyes met her cold ones. “Not unless you will tell me--”

She rolled her eyes as she cuts me off. “Then that leave me with no choice.”

Mabilis na kinuha niya ang kanyang purse at may hinigit mula roon. It was so fast that i didn’t know what’s going to happen next. All I see is a syringed stabbed at the side of my neck.

I woke up with a headache and the first thing I noticed is that I was in a huge bed.

In a refreshing room with a refreshing air. Mula rito ay naririnig ko ang alon ng dagat. Agad akong napatingin sa suot kong relo. What?! it’s been six hours already since we left? And where the hell am I?

Bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Pi na nakasuot ng apron. Her hair was tied in a messy bun and she has crumbs on the side of her face.

“Oh you’re awake! Sakto malapit nang maluto ang niluluto ko!” she greeted me with a smile.

Thank fuck, she’s not that silent titless anymore. And that reminds me!

I smirked, “You drugged me to sleep again!”

She slowly pout. “So what? It’s not like it’s your first time duh.”

Natampal ko na lamang ang noo ko. This woman! Is she even a woman?! and oh... “How did you get me off the car?”

She looked at me seriously. “I carried you.”

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. She what? “Seriously?!”

Ngumisi siya nang malaki. “Of course no, what am I, strong woman?”

I scowled. “So how?”

She pouted her lips and pointed towards the side kung saan may wheelchair. Fucking hell, she used a wheelchair to bring me here. She is really a psycho. Napahinga na lamang ako nang malalim at ipinahid ang palad sa mukha.

“Come on Rocket, alam mo ba kung gaano ka kahirap isakay sa wheelchair? You are one buff devil, no wonder you’re heavy. Hey hey your dick’s big don’t you think it contributes to like 25% of your weight---”

Moron! “Shut up.”

“Survey lang. Don’t you think I’m right?”

“Shut up Pi.” Ah, what mess did I put myself into? I have never met anyone as crazy as her before! Tito Cool is crazy but Pi is on another level!

“That is a compliment devil, not everyone is blessed in the dick department,” sagot niya.

“Yeah, like how you were not blessed in the tit department right?”

Napalis ang ngiti niya at ngumiwi sa akin. I know I’m a second away from getting a beating using the ladle that she’s holding. Nakipagsukatan ako ng tingin sa kanya ngunit mayamaya lamang ay may naamoy akong nasusunog. Her nose twitched and then her eyes grew impossibly wide.

“Shit!” bulalas niya at tumakbo palabas ng kwarto.

Napailing na lamang ako at tumayo sa kama upang sumunod sa kanya sa kusina. Pagdating ko roon ay hawak na niya ang fire extinguisher at ginamit iyon upang patayin ang apoy sa kalan. Wala akong ginawa kundi panoorin siya sa kanyang katangahan.

Titless is smart at times, that’s given but someone so smart can also be so idiot. She is the living example of that. Nang mapatay niya ang apoy ay ibinaba niya ang fire extinguisher at bumuntong hininga nang malalim habang nakatitig sa sunog na hotdog.

Hotdog?! For dinner? What the hell?

She sighed again, heavier this time. “Goodbye hotdog, you will be missed.”

“You look like an idiot.”

“I am a murderer, I killed the hotdogs,” wika niya at hindi pa rin inaalis ang tingin sa sunog na hotdog. Don’t tell me she really feel bad to those ?

“You’re a crazy.”

She bite her lower lip, looking guilty as hell. “I burned the hotdogs do I even realize kung gaano karaming bata ang hindi nakakakain ng hotdog? They see it as luxury food yet here I am, burning them to crisp. I am a worthless human.”

Oh shit, what kind of creature did I trap myself with in this unfamiliar house?

Hinila ko siya palayo sa harap ng kalan. “Who even told you to use the fire extingusher?”

She rolled her eyes. “Haller, there’s a fire and I used the fire extinguisher to extinguish it. Duh.” Ilang sandali lamang ay napalabi siya. How are we supposed to eat now? It's dinner time and I'm hungry. I want hotdogs."

I sort of stared at her.

She stared back.

Then it seemed like a bulb lit up on her mind.  "I can eat yours!"

What the hell!

Tinitigan ko siya ng ilang sandali bago napailing sa sarili. "Get out of the kitchen."

She looked at me, looking confused. "Why?"

"Narinig mo ako titless, leave or we're not getting dinner."

She looked scared about that thought. Mukhang gutom na nga yata siya kaya mas napadali ang pagpapasunod sa kanya. Okay. I need to clean her mess and at the same time, cook dinner.

Damn, is this why I was dragged here for?
