Ang dali lang talagang lumipas ng araw, hindi ko na agad namalayang sabado na ngayon. It should be our tutorial day this day but I cancelled it last night for a purpose. Nag-sorry na ako sa kanya dahil hindi ko magawang makipagkita sa kanya, hindi lang sa ngayon ngunit doon sa buong plano na rin namin. But we're cool, we should study during weekends or do something we cannot do during weekdays.
So when Lau asked me to go on a date, I did not accepted her offer, afraid that her cousin might find out.
But I remember, a friend of mine invited me yesterday for her birthday today. She told me before we are heading home if I have the free time so I can attend her birthday party. I guess she invited all of us, our classmates this year to come to her party.
We actually getting along with each other, kaya sino ba naman ako para magsabi ng hindi sa kanya? Hindi rin naman siya mahirap pakisamahan kaya paminsan minsan ay nakakapag-usap kami. Lalo na dahil birthday party iyon, paniguradong maraming pagkain.
A guy classmate of mine said that he will use their family car, kaya makikisakay nalang ako dahil hindi ko rin naman alam kung taga saan si Kaye so I grabbed the chance. I will wait for him or basically them kasi hindi lang naman siguro ako iyong kasama niya papunta doon sa isang waiting shed malapit sa main road para diretso-diretso na daw ang byahe namin.
Nang nakatayo na ako sa harap ng closet ko ay doon ko pa napagtanto kung anong susuotin ko, ni hindi ko man lang alam kung debut ba niya o ano, hindi na rin ako nakapagtanong sa iba niyang inimbita dahil gustong gusto ko nang umuwi at iniiwasan ko iyong isang kaklase kong sabi nila na may gusto sa akin na si Ashwin.
Since I don't have any choice, I opened my phone instead and was forced to greet her online though I like it when I will say it on her personally, so I could have the chance if she will have the theme on her party. She replied so I already took the chance to know what to wear for this day.
I heard that Kaye came from a rich family so I already expected that her debut will be elegant for sure. If it will be a simple party, I would go for jeans and sweater but since I will be going to a big party, I wore my pearl off-shoulders satin dress, thankfully thinking my likes for pastel colors.
Nakarating na nga kami sa venue at tama ang hinala ko. They actually rented the whole resort for her debut party. Nabanggit rin kanina ng kaklase ko na pwede daw na mag overnight kung sino iyong may mga gusto. Kaso, ilang oras lang ang ipina-alam ko kay Daddy kaya wala na akong ibang choice at hindi rin naman pinayagan iyong iba kong mga kaklase kaya mabuti nalang dahil hindi lang ako ang wala mamayang gabi. Maybe, I will go home before the sun would come down.
Sa dinarami ng mga lamesa ay hindi ko inaasahang sa amin ang may pinakamalaki. Marami ng nakarating na kaklase namin kaya hindi na kami nahirapang hanapin ang lamesa namin kaya nagulat kami na sa amin iyong may pinakamalaki. Talagang pinaghandaan.
Inilibot ko ang aking mga mata sa loob ng reception hall kung nasaan kami ngayon at nakikitang karamihan sa mga kaklase namin ay kumukuha ng magandang litrato. Maganda naman ang lugar kaya hindi na sila mahihirapang maghanap ng magandang background.
“Hey, you look stunning.” sabi ni Kaye nang naglandas ang aming mga landas. Pansamantala itong kinukuhaan ng litrato. Nakasuot ito ng isang magarang damit na bagay naman sa kaniya, mas lalo itong gumanda sa suot nitong make up at ibang accessories.
“‘Wag mo akong bolahin, mas maganda ka, impakta.” sabi ko sa kanya at dinagdagan pa ng biro.
“Naku! Kung alam mo lang, kanina pa ako kinukulit na ipakilala raw kita. Alam mo ba gwapo sana iyo kaso narinig kong medyo ano. Fuck boy,” halos mabuwal na siya sa pagka-sabi niya.
Agad akong napangiwi sa sabi niya. “Alam mo, iyong tunay na gwapo ay iyong mabait, matalino, malinis at mabango, sige isama mo na rin ang mahinhin para 5M na. Hindi iyong umaastang pakboi na akala nila nakakatuwa pakinggan at tingnan.” sabi ko sa kanya kaya napatawa nalang siya sa sinabi ko. Hindi rin naman ito nagtagal sa pakikipag-usap sa akin dahil hindi pa raw tapos ang photoshoot niya at kailangan pa niyang puntahan ang ibang mga bisita niya.
Patapos na ang programa nang makita kong may mensaheng umabot sa akin galing sa Papa ko nang tinignan ko ang cellphone ko. Ito ang nasa pinakataas na bahagi ng notifications ko kaya binuksan ko ito at magrereply na sana nang may bago na namang mensahe na umabot sa akin.
Unknown:
If I can't teach you face to face, I will keep on sending you chords from your favorite songs, I am currently watching at your spotify playlist.
You really like old song, huh?
I haven't gave him a name in my contacts baka makita ng kung sino at akalain nilang may namamagitan sa aming dalawa kaya pinanindigan ko na kung anong nakapangalan sa kanya sa messages ko. But, I am kind of bored and decided to change his name on my contacts.
Balance Inquiry:
Everyday, I love you.
Or Unwell?
Napaawa nalang ako nang makita kong may bago siyang message kaya agad ko na itong nireplyan bago pa makita ng katabi ko kung sino ang kinakausap ko sa cellphone ko. Mabuti ng maging maingat ako laban sa mga chismosa kong mga kaibigan. Though, hindi rin naman sila nakakapag-open ng cellphone ko.
You:
I'm not with my Uke baby.
Wala rin ako sa bahay.
Balance Inquiry:Sana lahat baby, diba baby?
Saan ka?
You:
Baby ur face.
I'm attending my classmates debut party.
I wanna go homeeeeee.
Buttttttt......
Balance Inquiry:Paanong may butt?
You:Hoy, hindi ko sinabing puwet.
Balance Inquiry:Kumain na ba kayo?
You:Yon nga ee. Ayaw ko muna umuwi nang hindi kumakain rito, feeling ko may shrimps haha.
Gusto ko kumain ng shrimps huhuhu.
I aaammm hungryyyy.
Kaso ang layo ng venue nila huhuhu.
Balance Inquiry:Saan daw kayo?
You:Di ko knows, sinundo lang nila Lyndon kanina.
Balance Inquiry: Then ask your friendssss.You:Kakatamad makipag-usap sayang hangin ko gutom pa naman ako huhuhuhu :>><<<<<<Akala ko lang pala na malapit na matapos kaso umabot pa ito ng isang oras kaya insaktong alas dose ng tanghali. Hindi na lang rin ako nakikinig sa sinasabi ng emcee dahil nalibang na akong makipag-usap kay Czesar. This guy! I am having fun with his sense in humor.
Balance Inquiry:
Tanungin mo na kasi kaibigan mo.
You:Waaaiiiiit.
As what have we talked, I asked Jamal, who's also having fun on his phone, about the location and send it to Czesar. Sabi pa niya malapit lang daw iyon sa kanila. Biglaan naman itong hindi nagtext sa akin at tumawag makalipas ang ilang minuto.
“Punta ka sa entrance ng resort.” utos niya sa akin kaya nagpaalam na ako kay Jamal at sa ibang kaibigan na sinundo na ako kaya wala na sila nagawa pa kahit gusto pa nila akong magstay roon kaya nakaramdam akong ng guilty dahil sa pagsisinungaling.
Naglakad naman ako hanggang sa makarating ako sa labas ng resort, nahirapan pa dahil hindi ko kabisado iyong daan. Nagtanong tanong nalang ako sa mga staffs na nakikita kung saan ang daan patungo sa labas ng resort. This resort is freaking big. Muntik pa akong mawala buti nalang at may nakita akong staff na siyang naghatid sa akin patungo sa labas ng resort.
The sun is still up kaya pinagpapawisan ako nang makalabas na ako sa resort. Paano ba naman kasi, aircon roon sa loob ng reception hall tapos paglabas ko sobrang init.
Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at tinanong kung saan siya baka pinaglalaruan lang niya ako. Dahil na rin siguro sa kakapanood ko ng vlogs kaya hindi mawala sa isip ko na prank lang niya ito sa akin. Hindi rin naman nagtagal ay may isang sasakyan na bumukas ang pintuan at inilabas roon si Czesar na nakasuot ng isang V-neck na white shirt at shorts. Bahagya itong nagbubukas ng kaniyang payong bago pa naglakad patungo sa akin.
“Bakit hindi ka nagdala ng payong? Ang init pa naman ng panahon, tingnan mo iyong pawis mo walang tigil ang pagtulo.” pambungad niya sa akin at inilabas ang panyo niya.
Bago pa niya ito mapunas sa mukha ko ay naamoy ko na agad ang mabango nitong pabango. Lalo na noong nagsimula na siyang magpunas ng pawis ko dahil malapit ito sa akin.
“Tama na, wala na.” sabi ko sa kanya bago ko pa maubos ang amoy niya, bago pa niya ako makitang pinagkakatuwaan ang kaniyang mabangong amoy.
“Tara na sa sasakyan.” pag-aaya ko sa kanya na parang ako ang nagmamay-ari ng sasakyan dala niya.
“Yes, bossing.”
“Where are we going?” I asked him when I am already seating at the passengers seat, comfortably.“You sound like Dora.” he laughed at me but did no answered my question. He even clapped his hands.This guy!“Can I turn on your AC or we'll just let the windows down?” I added when I really felt sweaty. Natatakot na rin at baka mangangamoy sa loob ng sasakyan niya dahil sa init kanina sa labas.“Do what makes you comfortable.” sabi niya at hindi na muli akong kinausap nagpokus na ito sa pagmamaneho hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang kainan.“Hala.” hindi ko mapigilang sabihin dahil sa gulat ko.I turned to him and he gave me a questioning look. I gave him a weird smile and pulled him so we can already eat. When we are done ordering our foods, hindi ko na
Napuno ng kantyaw ang loob ng silid. Nagsisigawan ang karamihan habang si Czesar ay nakangisi lang habang nakatuon ang kaniyang mga mata sa akin. Ashwin, on the other side looks surprised.“Alright, keep quiet!” paninita ni Czesar.When the room was already at peace, there, I started strumming, kahit na nanginginig ang kamay sa kaba. As I sang, the attention was all mine. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako o mas kakabahan. Sapagkat hindi ko alam kung ano ang takbo sa kanilang mga isipan. Seems like they knew the song considering that when I sang the chorus part when they sang with me. When I looked at Czesar, I saw him singing to while using their table as a drum.When I stopped singing, Clide starts to commend until all of them gave me a positive comment. Their comments are heartwarming. Ramdam ko ang kasayahan ko na abot-langit kaya nakangiti na akong nagpaalam hanggang sa makalabas sa silid pagkatapos nila akong
The event's tiring but it wasn't done yet, though I really wanted to go home. Kakasimula pa lamang ng Intrams namin kaya may dalawa pang araw bago naman matapos ito.Today's wednesday so probably it will end during fridays. So I was happy to have two days free from another class sessions despite the fact that this will be boring for us, who are not players.Alas tres pa lang ng hapon pero inaantok na ako sa sobrang pagod. Nagsisimula na ang mga green team sa pagpeperform ng kanilang yell at sinundan ng yellow team. Nang nagsimula na ang red team ay doon kami tinawag upang kami ay susunod na magpakita sa aming nagawang yell. Isa ito sa dahilan kung bakit mas lalo akong nai-stress dahil kailangan namin itong iparinig at ipaaral sa iba pa naming kagrupo habang tuwing uwian naman ay nagpapraktis kami ng banda.When we finished performing our yell, I decided to go
The whole week was more stressful. Finals is coming so I needed to study more. I have to ace my grades so I could have something to be proud of. Kahit para sa sarili ko na lang. Hindi na muna ako masyadong nag-abala pa sa kung ano anong mga bagay. I deactivated all my social media accounts at tinago na rin ang ukelele ko para hindi na ako matukso pa.Mas kailangan kong mag-aral ng mabuti.Sabado na ngayon at sa lunes na magsisimula ang aming eksaminasyon. Nagpapahinga lamang ako saglit at bumalik na ulit sa pag-aaral. Malapit na akong mag-college kaya kailangan ko ng magandang grado para makapasok ako sa magandang University.Pababa na ako sa hagdanan namin upang kumuha ng makakain ng may narinig akong tawanan sa aming sala. Siguro mga kaibigan ito ng kambal. Paminsan-minsan ko na silang nakikitang pumupunta rito sa bahay upang maglaro ng basketball dahil may half court naman kami sa labas. Minsan rin ay nakikita ko silang tumutugtog kaya patago a
After talking a lot with them and my bonding with Lau, nakatulog na kaagad ako. As I wasn't able to study by that night. I thanked heavens for waking me up earlier than I usually be awake so I had a little time to visit some notes.I opened my phone that has numerous numbers of calls and messages, totally unexpected. Worst, notifications from my facebook was much more uncontrollable. As I opened my facebook account and there! I saw Czesar posted a picture with me with a written caption 'meet my jealous girl, everyone. I love this girl so much! Love you bebekoh!'"Freaking hell?" I muttered silently.I deactivated my facebook account to stop myself reading comments at his post.I was furious as I sent him a lot of messages but I haven't receive a reply from him, even a single ones. So I decided to take a bath, atleast it would help me for now to calm.As I step unto the gates, students were al
"Hey." I heard someone called me while I was sitting on my chair, alone.According on the voice. I think I know whoever he is. Even his smell that automatically attacked my nose."What?" I asked him as my forehead creased.Is he planning to annoy me again?Nakita kong umupo siya sa isang upuan na harap sa akin at tinitigan ako. "Stop staring, I'm studying, idiot." dagdag ko pa sa kaniya at tumawa lamang siya.It was already our lunch break. Maingay doon sa classroom namin kaya napagdesisyonan kong maki-upo rito sa canteen, buti na lang rin ay may kaibigan akong tindera rito. Mabuti na lang rin dahil hindi gaano karami ang tao dito. Higit sa lahat, hindi maingay."Ilan pang subject ang hindi niyo pa natake?" tanong nito at binabati ang mga studyanteng bumabati rin sa kanya.Kahit pa mga junior high students, para tuloy siyang kandidatong
The next day, a woman stepped on our house likes she owns it. Everyone was busy including her, who's busy instructing the maids. Dad must have really prepared for this day.Instead of staying in our living room, I went to my brothers' room and saw that they are doing their workouts since the gym is far from our home. Tuwing sabado at linggo lang rin naman sila hindi nakakapag-gym.Naabutan ko si Namiel na nagpu-push up sa sahig kaya agad ko itong nilapitan at inupuan ang likod niya kaya pareho kaming bumagsak sa sahig na tumatawa. Habang si Rawl naman ay nagpla-plank rin. Rawl is the serious ones, kaya minsan hindi ko siya napapagtripan, sa takot ko lang na masigawan niya. Talagang hindi ko magagagawang mang-trip sa kaniya.After I stood up from falling and sat on a single bamboo couch. Their room is a bamboo themed so when you will look around, you will see bamboos everywhere. Their room has ship designs too
Months passed so fast. Done with my junior high year. Today is another year of summer in the month of June.I barely go out to my room and if I had to, I had to ask my brothers if they are downstairs so I will not be left alone with Falaviana. I don't know, I just do not feel comfortable with her existence. I don't feel good around with her. Good thing that Dad barely go home. Pakiramdam ko kapag naroroon kami sa isang lugar ay hindi ako mapakali dahil pakiramdam ko ay binabantayan nila ang bawat kilos ko.I sighed when I don't have any choice. The twins are attending their summer classes so I don't have anyone that I can talk to. After editing another video to upload on my channel, I watched another tutorial on YouTube and studied it. When I could feel the pain on my fingers, I stopped the video and stretched a bit.Since I was influenced by my brothers to workout, I did my usual workout routine and re
“Ga! The children are already here!” rinig kong sigaw ng asawa ko galing sa sala kaya nagmamadali kong inihain ang niluluto ko na lomi.It looked so delicious as I added more egg than my usual lomi ones. I even cooked them round grounded meat to make it more tasty.Ever since I tried cooking this recipe they wanted to eat this every Sunday after their musical practice.Czesar never came back on the band and years after that, their band were disbanded due to their personal happiness. I heard all of them are now happily married. We also attended Ashwin's wedding and settle the things and misunderstanding between us.“I'm here in the kitchen!” sigaw ko pabalik habang inilapag ang nga kubyertos sa lamesa.
When I was a child, I find love stories cliche. Until my parents broke up, there, I hereby hated love.I was still a little when I became bitter. Whenever I see young lovers, I picked something and throw it at them. Until one day, I eavesdropped. They were talking about my Dad and someone's Mom who are now happy with themselves and doing their illegal deeds.“So the Señor Marcil was left for that Chiongson man? 'di na baleng iwan ang lalaking totoong nagmamahal sa iyo para lang sa negosyong druga? Nakakaawa naman iyong mga bata, lalo na si Tamila, kegandang bata na iyon.”Tamila Marcil. . .Starting that day, I started to ask some people about that girl but the girl was nothing but a home girl. She was over protected by her father and her two older brothers which are twins.Years passed by quickly for me because I guess I had fun, I had fun on
Things between Czesar and I are getting better after he asked me to marry him. I actually got better too when I tried to put myself on my usual. Pero paminsan minsan ay hindi ko maiwasang makaramdaman nang pagkabalisa.I was also sad to think that I am one of the reasons why Czesar left the band. I knew that being on a band is his dream since he was a little. Hindi ko mapigilan minsang sisihin ang sarili ko kahit para na lang sa mga nakikinig sa kanila at sumusubaybay.As I looked at my reflection in the full-sized mirror. I can't help but to smile and feel pretty. We will be having our photoshoot for our wedding next week. I am here in my room with my make up artist and hair stylist. I am wearing a cream colored loose off shoulder long gown. The only detail of the gown was only at the upper part, it was like a cutted cloth from the same material that is used and the rest of it was plain. Inilugay lang ang maykulay kong buhok na
As soon as I stepped unto our house, I looked for Dad's presence."Auntie!" tawag ko sa kasambahay namin. Naramdaman ko namang nakasunod si Czesar sa akin. Dala iyong ibang bagahe ko.Kakarating lang namin galing sa aming mahaba habang flight, kahit na pagod ay hindi ko pa rin maisawala sa isip ko iyong anunsiyong may sakit ang ama ko."Ate!" tawag ko ulit nang walang ni isa ang sumagot sa tawag ko."Ga, how many cars are there in the garage?" I asked him despite of panicking I managed to deliver it soft."Four. Tito's car isn't there." he answered and I muttered him thanks.Our three helpers we're all not here. They must be out with Dad. Nang wala talaga akong makita ni isa bahagya akong kinabahan hindi dahil nakabukas lang ang bahay na walang tao kung hindi dahil pare pareho silang lahat na wala rito. Even if I feel my knees wobbling, nakaabot a
Hindi ko mapigilang magising dahil naalimpungotan ako nang may kamay na nakayakap sa akin at paa na nakatanday sa bandang binti ko. Insakto naman nang mapatingin ako sa bintana at nakitang may araw na.I unconsciously looked at his facewhen I heard him snore. I stopped myself from laughing and smiled. My hand went to his cheek until it went to his eyes and caress it.My eyes went down to his parted lips and touched it.I poked his cheek to wake him up but he didn't. Napagod siguro. Kaya imbes na gisingin ko siya dahan dahan na lang akong tumayo mula sa kinahihigaan ko ngunit bahagya naman itong gumalaw na tila bang hinahanap ako para may mayakap kaya hindi ko mapigilang matawa sa kaniya.And when he can't find me, I saw him panicked. His eyes opened quickly and when he saw me near on his feet, he sighed and gave me a warm smile. I am still covered with our
The next few days I got busier as I processed my ticket and as I have to be with Bella for three days because we are planning to surprise Rawl with a video presentation and to reveal the baby's gender for his birthday. Good thing that Bella accepted my request as I promised to have my schedule free for also three days for our vacation on a resort that messaged me last week."I am sure that Rawl will cry once he will see this," I commented as we watch the video that kept us busy for about three days."Just don't forget to film his reaction, Tami! I and baby with surely be mad." and touch her baby bump.She hugged me before leaving our house early so I could prepare for my flight tomorrow. She would also prepare her things because she will be living here next month. After all, she is living alone since she got pregnant!I was in the middle of putting my clothes in the luggage when Namiel called. I grab
My mouth hang open. "W-what?""Your order, Miss Gorg." he said again even if I heard him.My eyes automatically rolled at him and ask. "You are working here?""Yep." Popping the 'p'."But why?""So I could see you here from there." he pointed on the next building that I occupied as my office, where I spent most of my day.I frowned. "Idiot,""I know that you would not believe me but trust me, I am doing this for us. I'll probably kidding if I'd say I have no intention for us to get back together.""Oh. Trust me too when I'll say that you'll never get something from me. Tama lang na ibaon na sa limot ang mga nangyari noon. It wasn't worth any feeling from me, specially you." I said it with my eyes looking intently at him.I looked at their menu and chose. "Spicy
"Kapal pa rin ah!" I told him but it was more likely a joke."Ikaw pa rin ah!" he mocked.Tumawa na lang ako tapos kinuha iyong pagkain at nagsimula nang kumain. I was just feeding myself then I remember, I used to fed him foods when he was driving the car.Should I feed him?Wouldn't it be awkward?I hope so."Open your mouth idiot." that was I only said and fed him."At last! Yuho!" he celebrated happily.If we were still together, siguro nabatukan ko na siya dahil sa kaingayan niya. Binuksan ko iyong stereo niya kahit walang pahintulot. Wala pa ring nagbago sa sasakyan niya, even the smell? It still smells good ang manly. Kahit siya, hindi pa rin nagbago iyong amoy niya."Ah." he murmured and opened his mouth so I could feed him again.The next day after I got home I
“Wrong room.” sabi ko habang humihikab pa.I should be closing the door when he spoke again.“No ma'am. This is the room, room 108.” the delivery guy argued.I sighed before talking to him. “Sorry but I didn't order anything from your shop or resto. So please if you wouldn't mind, please leave because I still have a long hectic day. Thanks!” I told him before closing the door.Even if I am hungry, I wouldn't eat the food that I did not ordered, what if someone gave it to me and it has poison on it? Baka may taong galit sa akin, lalo na sa mga litratong kumakalat na iniidolo si Ash.I am planning to go on the shower room when I message arrived.Unknown:You kept me waiting hun, open the door and let's eat together..I looked at the ceiling, trying
