Chantall

"It's okay, Tita. I will bring this outside nalang." I told the Barangay Captain's wife to bring their pulutan outside because they have a chillnuman daw with Sandro and of course with the people in the neighborhood and barangay officials of Vintar.


Mama Meldy already go home, Hindi din sumama sina Tita Imee, Tita Irene and Tita Aimee. Because tomorrow morning Sila mamimigay ng mga Christmas ayuda dito sa Ilocos Norte.

I went on their place where they are drinking, there's Simon and Sandro, drinking. Vincent is inside the house of Tita Marie, the Wife of Barangay Captain.


"Hey! Why you da one get some puds for us?" They all laughed because Mang Nestor, the neighbor asked me kung bakig ako kumukuha Ng foods. I think his tipsy now.

Sandro and Simon are drinking San Mig, just a light drink lang daw kasi may schedule pa siya tomorrow.

"Nasaan ba si, Marie? Bakit ikaw pinapakuha?" tanong ni Kap kaya ngumiti nalang ako sa kaniya.


"It's okay, Kap. Nagaayos po kasi siya." I told him.


"Umiinom ba siya, Cong?" Mang Vic asked Sandro so he stared at me and drink his beer on the bottle.


"Hindi ko alam eh," sagot nito.


"I do drink Po, pero just a little. Wait, imma join you, I will get some more pulutan." I told them and went inside, and I saw Vincent sleeping on their sofa.


"Sabi ko sa kaniya sa kwarto muna siya, sa guest room. Pero ayaw niya daw. Nakakahiya naman, jusko!" Saad ni Tita Marie when she saw me staring at sleeping Vinny.


"Tita, where's the Dinuguan? Imma join them po muna," I told her and binigyan ako ng bowl with Dinuguan.

I went outside and sit beside Sandro.

"You want some?" he asked and I nodded. They get me some San Mig and a glass.


"Cong! MagTanduay naman tayo o Red Horse." Saad ni Kap kaya tumawa naman si Sandro.


"The wife will get mad, she's there. Binabantayan ang husband." saad ni Simon na kumakain ng pulutan sa tabi ni Sandro kaya napa-'ngi' nalang ako.


"Pwede din, pero konti lang." Sandro told them and nagsaya naman sila.


"Konti lang talaga, Ferdinand Alexander ha?" I told him and he just Pat my head.


"Yes, Darling." He answered and nagtilian naman yung mga tao sa mesa.


"Augh! I hate how corny they are. Jesus!" singit ni Simon and tumungga ng San Mig.

"I didn't know na tanggero pala kayo." I told Sandro and Simon and they laughed, some of their kainuman also laughed.


"Hahahah! Minsan lang naman, Chan. Don't worry. I know you're a nurse, and I won't damage my liver. " tumango nalang ako and ininom yung inumin sa baso.

"Oh and by the way, Vincent is sleeping inside." I told him and Sandro nodded.


"I told him a while ago to go with Mama Meldy so that he can sleep." he said and hinagilap si Vincent sa loob ng Bahay

They started drinking and talking, they are talking about life, politics, some events and their plans on their place. They've been talking for almost an hour na. Geez! I thought it's just a chillnuman but it turns out into a hardnuman? I always invent some words. But anyways

Everyone is now Tipsy, Sandro is also tipsy, I know because he laughs so hard, his face is flushing red, even his ears.

"Cong, kelan ang kasal ninyo?" Kap asked Sandro and he chuckles.


"Kung kailan ako magppropose. Hahahaha!" napangiwi nalang ako. Is he drunk? I stared at Simon and I know he's drunk. His eyes tell it all.



"Hahahahaha! Alam mo ba, Madam. Madaming manliligaw yan si Sandro dito." Saad ni Mang Vic na lasing na din. Kanina pa sila nagheheavy drink while Sandro and Simon are drinking light liquor.


"Sshhh! Mang Vic. Huwag mong sabihin yan.  Baka magtampo si Chantall. Eh! Hahahaha!" saad ni Simon na lasing na.


"We will go home maya maya okay? Is it okay, Kap?" I asked him and he nodded and gave me a thumbs up.


"Gosh! Good thing, Mang Paul is here. If wala. We're all dead." I told Sandro and he just hugged me.


"Cong? Lasing ka na ba? Pinapauwi ka na ni Misis, oh." Mang Nestor asked.

Buti nalang, when they're drunk, they are not doing some scene no. Like, oh my Gosh! They don't speak explicit words and anything.


"Hahahahah! Oo nga, eh. Ayaw ko pa umuwi pero baka magalit at baka hindi ako tabihan." Sagot ni Sandro kaya nanlaki yung mata ko.


"Ayieeeehh! Sana makabuo na kayo, Cong. Napagiiwanan ka na." Hoi! Harujusko Mang Wesley, nansusulsol kaya tumawa naman si Sandro.

"Wait, we'll go home after I prepare okay?" I told Sandro and Simon before I stood up.


"30 minutes more, Chan." lasing na sabi ni Simon kaya napa iling ako.


"Oh God! Imma sumbong the both of you to Atty Liza. Let's see." I told them and pumasok na sa loob. Tita Marie is sleeping na, I guess. She's not here and Vincent is still sleeping soundly.

Inayos ko yung bag ko, yung mga gamit ni Sandro and Simon. After ko mag-ayos I woke Vinny up.

I heard someone na naghiyawan sa labas. As I sneak on the window, it's Sandro na natumba. Omg!

"They're drunk. Your kuya's are drunk. Gosh! What should I do?" I told him while putting my jacket on.

Alam ko may tama na 'to. He stood up bigla-bigla eh.

"Hahahahah! Stupid." lasing na pang-aasar ni Simon at tumawa din ang hunghang.

Pinaupo na ito sa monoblock and he's still laughing.

"Okay! That's it. We're going home. You're both dead kay Atty Liza. " saad ko and nilayo na yung bote ng beer sa dalawa.


"No! I want more. It taste so goooood!" Simon said,


"Yeah! Let's go home." saad ni Vincent na dala na yung mga bag ko.

"Oh hi, Vinny. Do you want some?" tanong ni Simon and binigyan ng baso ng beer si Vincent.

"Oh, sorry! I don't drink." Vincent answered.

"Call Kuya Paul and tell him I need help. I can't carry this two. For sure they're so heavy." I told Vincent and tumango ito and umalis.

"Mahal," sabi ni Sandro and niyakap ako sa bewang, I am standing and he's sitting so his head are on my waist.


"Stop calling Channy Baby, Mahal." singit ni Simon.

"OoOoh! Channy Baby? Gusto mo din ba si Chantall, Simon?" tanong ng Lasing na si Mang Vic. Napangiwi nalang ako.


"Hahahaha! No way! We're not talo." Simon answered that's why sinipa ni Sandro yung upuan ni Simon.

This two, really.

"My head is spinning." he mumbled while his eyes are closed.

"I told you kanina na kaunti lang inumin mo diba? Chillnuman lang diba dapat?" sabi ko habang minamasahe ang ulo niya. Good thing he's not vomiting.

"I'm sorry, Mahal. Are you mad?" Omygod! Ferdinand Alexander Marcos! Ganiyan ka ba pag lasing? His 'Mahal' is literally heart warming ha.


"No, I'm not." I answered.

"Ay jusko! Bakit nalasing 'tong dalawang ito?" tanong ni Kuya Paul nung dumating ito at nakita ang dalawa sa kalagayan nito.


"Vincent! Come, I want to hug you too. Nang-iinggit si Kuya, eh." Simon told Vincent and spread his arm for a hug, I saw Vincent laughing while he's holding his phone. I know he's recording it.


"Shut up, Joseph Simon! We'll go home." I told Simon.

"I'm not your boyfriend ha, don't talk to me like that." I don't know if talking to a drunk people are funny or stressful. Geez!


"And don't talk to my girlfriend like that, Joseph Simon!"


"Hep! Hep! Stop na! Let's go home na. Kuya, can you carry Sandro?" I asked Kuya Paul and he nodded.

"Vinny, kaya mo ba alalayan si Kuya Si, mo?" I asked him.


"Hahahahah! Syempre." sagot ni Vincent and tinayo na si Simon.

Nilingon ko ang lahat na nasa mesa na yung iba tulog na, iba nakauwi at iba umiinom pa.

"Ingat kayo, Cong!" sigaw ni Kap.

"Salamat sa painom! Kap!" sigaw na sagot ni Sandro kay Kap.

"Hi, Kap. We need to go. It's already 3am na din eh. Thank you so much po. Hope we'll meet again, soon." I told them and slightly bow my head as a thank you.

"Salamat , Chan. Ingat kayo. Sorry sa pagpapainom ng malakas." Kap answered.

"It's okay Po. Pakisabi nalang kay Tita Marie. Umuwi na kami and Merry Christmas ulit. Everyone!" I greeted them and pumasok muna sa loob ng bahay nila para kunin ang jacket at wallet ni Sandro. Makakalimutan ko sana eh.


"Chan? Where are you?"malapit na ako sa Van at rinig ko na yung bunganga ni Sandro.

Is he talkative like that, if he's drunk?

Pumasok na ako sa Van and umupo sa tabi ni Sandro. He lay down and inunan niya ang ulo nito sa hita ko at inakap ako sa bewang.


"Chan? It's you?" he asked as I am getting some oil to massage his head.


"Hindi, naiwan si Chantall." singit naman ni Simon na nasa likod kasama si Vincent. Kanina pa tumatawa si Vincent dahil siguro sa mga Kuya nito. Dinodogshow mga kuya eh.


"Hahahahah! You look like a tomato, Kuya Si. Hahahahah!" hahablutin na sana ni Simon ang phone ni Vincent pero nailayo naman niya ito.


"Isusumbong kita kay Mommy, sige ka. Makita mo. Hahahahaha!" Vincent said kaya napabuntong-hininga nalang si Simon.


"You two, shut up! Especially you, Vincent! Your laugh." naiiritang saad ni Sandro kaya mas tumawa pa si Vincent para mas maasar ang kuya niya.

They are so noisy inside the Van, they teas each other, they do catfights. What will I do with this two drunk people.

I dm Gov Matt because I saw him active in IG to prepare Sandro's room because he's freaking drunk.

"Mahal, mahal, mahal!" pagkakalabit sakin ni Sandro habang nagttype at nagsscroll ako sa Instagram ko.


"Mahal!" tinignan ko siya at ngnitian ako.


"Yes? Why? Susuka ka?" I asked him and he shook his head.

"Kuya! Stop calling him, Mahal. It's so cringe." singit din ni Simon sa likod.


"Kuya Si, let them. They're so cute nga eh. So sweet. Hahahahah!" Vincent said with his iconic laugh and Simon 'tsk'


"Call me mahal too," pagrerequest ni Simon kay Vincent.


"Mahal!" pangangalabit ulit sa akin ni Sandro.

"Yes, MAHAL?" I answered him at diniinan pa ang word na 'mahal'. Wag pahalata na kinikilig ha. Gosh!


"Mahal? Are you the one for me?" nanlaki naman yung mata ko dahil sa tanong niya at napangiti.


"Hahahahahah! O my God! He's really drunk." Vincent said and laugh so hard.

A while ago, Vincent is sleepy and have zero energy but when he saw his Kuya's are drunk. His energy level ups


"Mahal! Mahal! Are you the one for me?" he asked me once again while his eyes are closed.


"Yes, I am. So sleep na." I told him and he giggled. Aacckk! Ang cute

"So cringe." Simon commented and Vincent laugh. Ayan ambag niya, tumawa at magvideo, also buhatid si Simon.
