CHAP 57 TATTOOS

Harrison

Dalawang buwan na ang nakalipas and this is the day na makakalabas na ako, sa hospital hindi sa kulungan.

Most of my wounds are already healed, but some of them are still healing pa, and don't worry, binigyan naman ako ni Elliana ng mga gamot for my wounds.

May balak akong magpa tattoo for my wounds na ayaw ko, what I mean is pangit sa paningin ako. But, don't get me wrong, guys. Hindi ko pinagsisihan na may mga ganitong sugat ako, and hindi ko rin pinagsisihan na I protected someone who hurt my feelings before, because past is past, duh!

Speaking of her, you already know her. She's not here, Elliana said na umuwi siya para magluto, and I was like huh? May pagkain naman here. Hmmmm....maybe di niya bet?

Sarap kaya ng mga pagkain here. May menudo, kaldereta, adobo, sinigang, and many more! May mga kakainin, and may dessert.

Hindi kasi siya masyadong kumakain ng mga pagkain na kailangan ng kainin eh, ewan ko rin sa babaeng yun. But, there's this food talaga na favorite na favorite niya, but I forgot!

I'm currently taking a picture of my self right now, angas kasi ng datingan ko ngayon.

I'm wearing a white tank tops and I bought this from H&M sa men's section, and then some baggy jeans tapos naka Dior Alias Sandal basta ganun yung name niya, tas yung color is beige black.

"Poging pogi ah." Elliana amazingly said.

"Finally, tanggap mo na ako ang pinaka gwapo saating dalawa." I said to her.

"Nevermind." She said tas may pa irap² pa talagang nalalaman to.

"Cous! May kakilala ka bang tattoo artist? I have a plan to cover some of my wounds na pangit sa paningin ko. Me and my family already talked about it earlier kaya wag kana maging masungit." I asked Elliana and of course I reassured her na my family knows about it kasi pag hindi, lagot ako.

"Ako." She said, what? You?

"Eh?" I surprisingly said.

"Ako nga, marunong ako." She said.

"Ayaw ko, parang hindi ka professional eh." I said to her.

"Dika talaga mabiro. Laura, Laura is a tattoo artist, secret lang natin yan ha? Her family doesn't support that kind of profession kasi, even though wala namang problema sa pagiging tattoo artist." Elliana said.

"Oh, so sad. Let me know kung nasabihan mo na siya, okay? I'll also call you kung okay na tong mga sugat ko, deal?" I asked her.

"Okay, but you need to pay her the exact amount, or else." Pagbabanta niya saakin.

"Grabe ka naman saakin. I have enough money to pay her kaya." I said.

"Okay." She said.

6 weeks later...

This is the day! I'm gonna cover up some of my wounds. Elliana texted me last night so sa sobrang excited ko, I'm already on my way there, at Laura's place..I mean secret place.

I'm gonna text Veronica, cuz I want to.

Sungit! She doesn't care about me:<

I'll keep on chatting her maya, I'll update her kahit hindi ko naman siya girlfriend. She thinks na she's having her peace of mind, but ngayon yan lang kasi later babawian ko siya.

Few minutes later.

I'm here at Laura's place na! Napaka ganda, everything is organized!

Oh diba? Pagpasok mo parang gusto mo na kaagad lumabas, kasi ang ganda. Parang nakakahiya naman pag uupo ako sa couch dito, baka madumihan, char!

I'll text Veronica again just to annoy her.

Ang sakit magsalita ng babaeng to, hindi naman sa affected ako, but this woman is accusing me for something that I'm not!

"Excuse me, Harrison?" Someone is calling me, ay si Laura pala.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Please, take a seat. You look like a statue right now." She said.

"Nakakahiya kasi umupo diyaan sa couch mo, ang linis e, baka madumihan ko." Pabiro kong sabi.

She laughs.

"Grabe ka naman, you can seat there. Feel free to feel at home." She said with a smile on her face.

"Ah, thank you." I said.

"You came here para to have a tattoo right?" She asked.

"Ah, yes. Who told you that?" I asked her maybe Elliana?

"Elliana told me. Anyway, are you feeling better now?" She asked.

"Yes, super. Kaya nga gusto ko na magpa tattoo eh." I said.

"So what kind of tattoo do you want?" She asked.

"I'm thinking about Batman's logo, like this." I opened my phone and goes to gallery and shows her the picture.

That's the design, and I want it bigger since I'm gonna put it at my back.

"Oh, this is cool." She said.

"I know right, but I want it bigger. I have this sugat kasi sa upper part of my back. My skin got peeled by something sharp, noong na aksidente ako. I kinda don't like it, because parang nakakadiri tingnan." I said to her.

"Not gonna lie, parang damang dama ko yung sakit. Ini-imagine ko kasi." She said.

"Yeah, and this one." I said and I showed her my arm. "As you can see, malaking hiwa yan na pa slanting, right? Parang nakakadiri ring tingnan kaya ipapatattoo ko rin to. Here's the design.." I said, and showed her the picture.

"Ang ganda ng taste mo ha, when it comes to tattoo designs." Laura complemented me.

Ako lang to, joke! Galing Pinterest yan.

"It's from Pinterest, Laura. Ang ganda kasi, at the same time ang cool." I said to her.

"Yeah, I know. How many tattoos are you planning to get?" She asked.

"Hmm..around 5 I guess? Or less than 5. I want to get tattooed in my waist part." I said.

I pull up my shirt slightly for her to see my waist. I have this wound in my waist na malalim talaga and I don't like it.

"Oh, that hurts a lot!" She shockingly said. Disgust is controlling her right now, disgust from Inside out.

It already healed, but ang pangit kasi tingnan.

"I got stabbed from a broken glass that time, I think sa window ng car ko yun ng galing or sa truck. Then, ang laki nung glass, parang naka triangle shape and yung end point nun, yun yong tumusok sa waist ko." I said to her, and parang hindi na mapinta ang kaniyang mukha because nandidiri siya HAHAHAHA!

"I don't want to hear it anymore. Just give me the design!" She's screaming slightly.

Tinatawanan ko lang siya, she's so adorable.

"Here's the design.." I said and showed her the picture.

I showed her this pic.

"This is from Pinterest also. I chose this, because nung kaya ko pang i-open yung eyes ko, I saw a black cat who's very close to me, that cat was licking my blood from my waist and it was spreading kasi sa road. It looked at me with his/her beautiful yet scary eyes. This image reminds me of that cat, they look so similar kasi." Pagkwekwento ko kay Laura.

"Wow!" She exclaimed.

"And lastly this design, I want it to the bottom part of my collarbone." I said and showed this picture.

"It's V and S together, right? VS, means Veronica Salvadorez. The woman behind these scars that I got. She was the reason why I got all of this scars, but don't get me wrong. I didn't regret having these scars, because these scars, like for me, it symbolizes my love for her. I wouldn't do it if she was just a stranger to me." I sad to her, ang oa ko!

"You must really love her." Laura said.

"I really do, miss Laura." I said to her.

"I see, when should we start?" She asked.

"Maybe, next week?"
