The Closet Girlfriend (Chapter 17)

CHAPTER 17

(Pero hindi lahat ng bagay ay kayang kontrolin ni Sam gaya nalang ng Music video na ginawa nila ni Cheska. They had smack kiss kahit ayaw niya pero nagbigay ng approval ang kanyang mother-manager. Wala syang nagawa kundi sundin ang kagustuhan ng Director to have a better result. This cause another conflict between him and Devon)
DEVON: I can’t understand it! Bibinta naman ang kanta kahit walang kissing scene!
SAM: Devz, listen..it was just a smack one…it was nothing compared to what we always do…
DEVON: I don’t need that crap explanation Sam!
SAM: Bakit ba ang dali mong magalit at magselos? Please understand my work…
DEVON: Hanggang kailan kita iintindihin?! The way you’re flirting with that bitch on TV isn’t acceptable Sam!
SAM: Please…ano bang dapat kong gawin para hindi kana magalit sa akin?...
(she looked at him seriously)
DEVON: Mag cool-off muna tayo…(he was so surprised what he had just heard from her)
SAM: What?!!! Hindi ako papayag…
DEVON: Sige..mamili ka… cool off or break up?!
SAM: You can’t do this to me Devz, you’re unreasonable!
(He couldn’t endure anymore so he walked away from her. He went to Alex house. He couldn’t stand being in the house baka lumaki pa ang away nila ni Devon)
ALEX: Dude, what brought you here? Baka magalit si Tita Carmi it’s almost 11 pm.
SAM: I’m no longer a child para pagalitan ni Mommy…
ALEX: You’re just 17 baka nakalimutan mo…
SAM: Mayroon kang beer dyan?!
ALEX: What?!! Kailan ka pa natutong uminom Samuel Concepcion?
SAM: Bigyan muna ako…I know you and Aaron drink!
ALEX: Yeah uminom nga kami but not in my house dude…alam mo naman si Mommy sobrang strikto nun…
SAM: So I came in the wrong place….(he was about to go but Alex stopped him)
ALEX: So this has something to do with your fake sister-girlfriend Devon?
(nagulat naman sya sa sinabi ni Alex)
You don’t have to deny Dude…the first time I saw her with you, I knew right then that she’s your girl…
SAM: How did you know?
ALEX: The way you stare at her, you take care and that panakaw moment, you’re very much obvious to me.
SAM: Please don’t tell anybody about this one.
ALEX: So nag-away kayo kaya gusto mong uminom?
SAM: She’s angry dahil dun sa music video namin ni Cheska…
ALEX: Baka kulang lang yun sa paglalambing…well girls they want their boyfriend to be extra sweet with them.
SAM: How could I be so sweet with her gayong may mga mata palagi sa paligid namin sa bahay?
ALEX: Ilang months na ba kayo?!
SAM: We’ll be having our anniversary on Christmas…
ALEX: Kaya pala nag-iba na ang aura mo pagbalik mo galing bakasyon nun hah..
(napangiti na sya sa sinabi ni Alex)
ALEX: Seriously dude may ano na ba?...(hindi niya maintindihan si Alex)
SAM: Ano?! (kumunot ang noo nya dahil di nya ito magets)
ALEX: Ano ka ba? what I mean is nakascore ka na ba? ano may nangyayari na ba sa inyo?
SAM: What?!! Anong klaseng tanong ba yan?!
ALEX: Sa sagot mo palang..alam kong wala pa..Ang hina mo dude… Ganoon kagandang girlfriend, di ka man lang makascore? Nasa iisang bahay pa kayo, diba ang dali nun?!
SAM: Gago! Makahalik nga nahihirapan pa ako..tsaka masyado pa kaming bata sa bagay na yan.
ALEX: I know you’re too innocent dude and likewise Devon, why don’t both of you explore mas exciting yun sa relationship niyo…
SAM: Akala ko si Aaron lang ang may pagkamanyak na pag-iisip mas malala ka pa pala sa kanya.
ALEX: Enjoy life while you’re young dude… If you need my help, I’m just one text away.
SAM: You’re crazy Alex…naturingan ka pa naman na bestfriend ko.
ALEX: I’m just trying to help… You can spend time with Devon in our house. Mom and Dad will be leaving for San Francisco for a couple of months. Alam mo naman wala kaming mga katulong dito kaya masosolo mo yang girlfriend mo.
SAM: Don’t give me that stupid idea.
ALEX: It’s not stupidity Dude…I’m just helping you…
SAM: But your idea is nonsense…
ALEX: Be a man dude! Kung gusto mo na maging sayo si Devon habang buhay nararapat lang na maangkin mo sya. You’re her boyfriend kaya may karapatan ka sa kanya.
SAM: That’s insane!
(Alex burst out laughing)
ALEX: Huwag kang magpakaSanto Sam di na yan uso sa panahon ngayon.
SAM: Ewan ko sayo! Uuwi nalang ako sa buhay!
(umalis na sya at nagpahabol pa ang kanyang bestfriend)
ALEX: Think about it!…

(Sunday afternoon na nagising si Sam dahil sa kaiisip kay Devon. He went to the living room at nakita nya si Phytos na kausap ang kanyang Tito Dennis at Mommy. He saw flowers beside him)
SAM: What are you doing here? (tumayo ang kanyang Mommy at masayang-masaya na bumati sa kanya)
CARMI: Well Phytos is asking your Tito and my permission na ligawan si Devon…
(tumaas ang dugo nya sa narinig)
SAM: What??!!!!! Tito Dennis?!!! (he looked Devon’s Dad na para bang humihingi ng saklolo na huwag pumayag)
PHYTOS: Sam malinis naman ang intensyon ko kay Devon. Simula pagkabata gusto ko na sya…
SAM: Well hindi ako papayag! Diba Tito Dennis binigyan mo kami ni Enchong ng karapatan na kilatisin kung sino man maglalakas loob na ligawan si Devon?!
DENNIS: Yeah I gave you and Enchong the right pero naisip ko rin na dalaga na ang anak ko at oras na rin para ienjoy nya ang pagiging teenager and having suitors is part of it!
(tsaka naman pagdating nina Enchong,Yen at Devon from church)
ENCHONG: So may manliligaw sa baby sister ko?!! (he was relieved na dumating ang kanyang kakampi)
SAM: Bro mabuti naman at nandito ka na…(he looked at Enchong then to Devon na halatang galit pa rin sa kanya)
ENCHONG: Are you serious with my sister?!!!
PHYTOS: Oo naman…
DENNIS: Gusto ko ang ginawa ng batang ito, nagpunta talaga siya dito para kausapin kami ng Mommy nyo about Devon kaya I gave my approval…
(Dahil hindi nakatiis si Sam ay nagwalk out talaga sya, wala na syang pakialam kung ano man ang sabihin ng kanyang Mommy at Tito Dennis. He felt so bad na hindi man lang nagsalita si Devon para bang nanadya pa ito. He went straight to his room na galit na galit)
