So What We Get Drunk Novels & Stories

"If you are going to stay or live here, ano ang plano mong gawin? Do you have something in your mind to make you busy while staying here? You need that, to make things to work." Nagkibit siya ng balikat. "Hmm... I know. I will look for a job, maybe. Find something to do to keep me busy and occupied. Hindi ako pwedeng lumabas halos araw-araw. Hindi rin ako dapat umiinom nang ganito kadalas. The truth is, I'm not like this. I am not used to getting out late and have a drink, getting drunk with a completely stranger. Like I'm a different person I was before."

Ramdam ko na naman ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ko ngunit hindi dahil sa kaba kundi dahil sa hindi ko mapangalanang emosyon. “M-Magkikita naman tayo buka—wait.” Suminghot ako. “Are you drunk?” He chuckled. “No. Niyaya lang nila ko sa isang shot and that’s it. Why would I get drunk when our wedding is tomorrow, hmm?”

Hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa din maalala kung ano ang nangyari ng gabing iyon. Nag-inom kami ng ilang business partners ko sa isang bar. Pagkatapos ay lumapit ako sa grupo ng mga old colleagues... Had a few shots and got drunk. Ang naalala ko lang ay nag-book ako ng cab para makauwi na. Inaantok na din ako noon.

"Yeah. No worries. Minsan ka lang naman mag-yaya uminom eh." We went to our favorite bar. Medyo marami na ang mga tao dahil palalim na ang gabi. We had our first, second, third, fourth, and now we are onto our fifth drink. Don't get me wrong, minsan lang ako uminom not because mabilis akong malasing but because I do not need to. Marami ako masyadong ginagawa para pasakitin lang ang katawan at ulo ko kinabukasan. But let me get it straight, I can drink. "So, what's bothering Calvin so much that he is drinking with me right now?"

sambit niya sa pangalan ko. "Y-yes, Zander?" "Do I look drunk?" "Medyo. Mukhang naparami ka na ng inom," sagot ko habang nagtititigan kaming dalawa. "I think I need some more. I want us to get drunk tonight, Callie," aniya pa. Lagot. Hindi ako umiinom ng marami kapag kasama ko ang mga kliyente ko dahil sila ang nilalasing ko at maglalagay ng pampatulog.

"O, tara na nga. Magsimula na tayo. Lasingin natin itong pinsan mo." Naglapag ng sampung bote ng soju sa mesa. Fan talaga ng Kdrama itong pinsan ko kaya iyon ang binili. Hindi naman talaga ako umiinom. Depende kapag napilit o may okasyon lang. And the last time I remember that I got drunk, 'yong birthday din ni tita at ito rin ang ininom namin. Nagsimula na nga ang tagayan. Inihaw na liyempo ang pulutan namin at unang shot ko pa lang, hindi na maipinta ang aking mukha.

asik ko pa. Avy sighed and sat on the couch. He grabbed my wrist and made me sit beside him. I just raised my eyebrow. “Ano?” tanong ko na lang. “Okay… As you know, we’re both drunk when that happened, right? We’re both under the influence of liquor. Kahit pa nasarapan tayo o anuman, pareho naman tayong nagsisi roon, ‘di ba? Kaya kalimutan na lang natin ang nangyari. Just see how I did it… I pretended that it didn’t happen. Right now, I’m in the process of forgetting it. Ganoon na lang din ang gawin mo… Okay ba?” paliwanag niya.

ngisi niya. Tumaas yung kilay ko. "Eh?" "Diba, baby? Aalagaan mo ako?" He asked Napapikit nalang ako. Ewan ko ba kung ano ang pumasok sa isip nito. Napatango nalang ako kasi ako lang yung hinihintay nila. The inuman started and Lev was true to his words. Siya yung uminom na dapat ay akin. I am thankful though. I could drink now but I'm not feeling like it. A few shots were made not until everyone got drunk, except for me.

Tanong nito na agad kong ikinatango. Besides, I need to get drunk tonight to para makatulog. Alam ko naman kasing babangungutin nanaman ako kapag hindi ako uminom at magpakalasing ngayon. I'm sure I'll going to dream of the death of my twin again. Huminga ako ng malalim at napatitig na lang sa labas.

"Palo ka Lowell!" The game continued and all of us are enjoying it. Some of my friends were already drunk and some were tipsy excluding me. I need to stay sober so I can take care of my friends. I didn't know how many hours we spent outside. My friends were half asleep and the bonfire was slowly dying.
