2022-02-13 00:03:19The long wait is over, the day of the comeback has finally arrived. The whole HD team was busy, so are the social medias, because fans had been so excited for it na umaga palang ay nagpapa-trend na ang mga ito. The music video would drop at twelve noon, the same time they’d be guesting at a noontime show to perform their title track; and later at seven, they would then start their anniversary concert special.
Everything was going smoothly and as planned, she made sure that nothing would go wrong today or she would definitely going to fvcking riot. Awa doubled the security: stricter, tighter. Ayaw niya’ng masalisihan at mauli na naman ang panibago’ng inside job. Although, she would have to apologize to all the employees after this.
She didn’t want to risk this, so better safe than sorry.

Sabi ng matatanda, kapag daw nangati ang palad mo may pera o blessing na darating sa’yo, of course, Asia believes it. Her family is huge on beliefs. Pero ngayon, iba’ng pangangati ang meron sa palad niya: nangangati’ng manampal. Her day had been okay, considering how she had prepared and waited for today to finally come. HD’s comeback was a success, so was the concert. Now the boys are busy with promotions and guestings here and there. Hinabilin na niya ang mga ito sa manager nila at kay Rara, so she isn’t entirely worried. So for that day, though, she had all the time to calm her mind and condition herself. Baka kasi mamaya ay maubos ang pasensya niya at ambahan nalang niya bigla si Laura the moment na makita niya ito. She tends to be physical when she wants to, masakit pa naman ang suntok at sampal niya— sa dami ba naman niya’ng na s

Having watched the trailer of Judy Sta. Maria’s ‘The Broken Marriage Vow’ trailer, it was as if she could hear her lines, and I quote, “Papunta palang tayo sa exciting part.” (Verbatim.) And indeed they were. Ganito siguro ka boring ang buhay niya lately, that catfights are starting to exhilarate her. But maybe, it’s only possible if Laura’s involved. Lalo pa at may atraso ito sa kanya. Sure, hindi natin hawak ang batas, at wala sa mga kamay natin ang hustisya kundi nasa hukom, but the country’s justice system is biased toward those who can and have the power to tamper with the truth. Hindi siya utak kriminal but she could unders

“Sorry I’m late, babe.” The guy whispered softly, wala siya’ng nasabi pabalik. Awa’s too stunned to even react. Bumaling ang lalaki sa kaharap. “I would like it if you won’t lay a hand on her again.” Awa blinked. Looking back and forth between the guy who was holding her and Laura, who was as much surprised as she was. Ang bruha, nag-stutter pa nung sumagot. “H-how… dare you say that t-to me?” “Please contain and handle your temper, Miss. This is, after all, your engagement party, isn’t it?” Laura flushed crimson, unable to answer. So her mom stepped in for her instead, gigil na nagta

“So what happened?” inilapit ni Mia ang mukha nito sa kanya, eyes sparkling, anticipating for her news. Or rather, chika. “What’s supposed to happen.” She replied, bored. “Tingnan mo nalang sa internet.” “That’s the problem!” maktol ng kaibigan. “Wala’ng tungkol dun sa internet.” Since what happened three nights ago (ngayon lang nang-usisa si Mia dahil busy ito with work), she hasn’t received any message from Troy, nor did there any videos or pictures or articles circulating around. No news about what happened that night, that could’ve been a huge scandal and, by now, that should’v

There’s this word, schadenfreude, which translates to the pleasure or satisfaction felt from learning or witnessing one’s misfortune, humiliation or troubles; that’s what Asia was feeling as of the moment. Masama man pakinggan but the look of horror and confusion on their (Laura’s mom and Laura herself) faces was refreshing to her. Nasanay na rin kasi siya’ng lagi’ng naka-irap ang dalawa sa kanya. Seeing them like they’re about to piss their pants was something Awa could use to see once in a while. Prente lang siya’ng nagpapa-ikot ng pasta niya dahil mukha’ng plano ng mga kasama niya’ng magsayang ng pagkain. Well, not her. “B-but… she’s Asia Davis.” Laura&r

Dalawa’ng beses pa niya’ng nakita ang lalaki: sa coffee shop at sa grocery, pero hindi man lang siya pinansin nito. Or maybe he just didn’t see her. It bothered her, ‘yung hindi siya pinansin ng lalaki. But then she realized and asked herself kung bakit siya nito papansinin in the first place. They had said their thank you’s, what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas, ika nga nila. Tiningnan niya ang screen ng phone niya nang magliwanag ito. Ella sent her a message. Ella Wp: hi, Awa! hru??

Busy siya’ng mag-masahe sa kamay niya’ng kanina pa namamanhid nang may maglapag ng isang bote ng mineral water sa harap niya.

It wasn’t the first time she’s going to be late for their Sunday family day, but this time it’s a little different because she’s not meeting up an investor or will be doing some business, instead she’s going to a meet-up with the operators of the accounts she’s been talking to as Carmela Cole. Friday night when Rafa sent her the date and time and place for the blowout plus meet-up. Of course, excited naman si Awa, medyo kinakabahan lang. She’s finally going to meet, well, them. Questions like: what would they be like? Would they like me? What do I say to them? Should I start the conversation first? Flooded her mind for the whole Saturday. She wasn’t able to sleep properly, she was feeling jittery. So when Sunday came, Asia was up way too early.&nb

Kanina pa pa-ikot-ikot si Awa sa higaan, samantalang ‘yung tatlo’ng katabi niya ay ang hihimbing na ng tulog. Slowly and carefully, she slipped out of the bed and tiptoed her way out of the room.Naabutan niya si Europe, naka-upo sa high stool sa may kitchen island, may hawak na isang can ng beer. Hindi pa ba lasing ‘tong lalaki’ng ‘to?Tumikhim siya to announce her arrival. Lumingon si Europe sa direksyon niya, nginitian niya muna ito bago siya dumeretso sa fridge, buti nalang at may stock ng gatas sa fridge ni Europe. She grabbed the carton and poured herself some before making her way to the island and sat comfortably at the other stool. There was a moment of silence between them, hindi niya na makayanan ang katahimikan, so Asia decided to break the ice.“Do you think it was my cousin, Raf, that Rafa was talking to earlie—““Did you mean it?”“Mean what?”“What you said earlier,” Europe answered. “Did you mean it?”“I said a lot earlier, Europe, alin sa mga ‘yun ang tinut

The game went on for a few rounds, the questions and dares got a little harder than she expected. Questions such as: ilan na ang naging boyfriend niya, to which she answered three, na hindi sila gaano’ng convinced so she drank two shots of alcohol. Also questions like: who was her first love and how she moved on from her exes, and with whom was her longest relationship with and if she ever had sex before. “The longest relationship…” she mumbled. “I’d say… Troy? Probably Troy, yea.” “Troy? As in, Troy Cruz?” gulat na gulat ulit na tanong ni Kian sa kanya. “Mm-hmm.” “You were exes?!” “Yep.” sinamahan niya pa ng tango. “But he’s married now so… and wer’e still friends, too, so everything’s well.” “Diba you did a project together just recently?” “We did, yea, special request kasi ng photographer friend ko from New York, di ko matanggihan. He was basically the reason why I survived living independently abroad.” “You lived abroad?” “Yep, my whole career as a CEO basically start

After maka-ikot at makabalik na ulit sa kanya ang tanong, Kian excitedly asked, na mukha’ng kanina pa talaga nito hinihintay. “So, Awa, which entertainment company do you own?”Shaking her head and smiling, she replied, “You take a guess.”There was excitement in Kian’s eyes at the thought. “Imposible’ng Joy kasi hindi mo aura ‘yung ganun. OT?”Still smiling knowingly with her lips slightly pursed, she kept herself quiet. Rafa at the other end was chuckling quietly to herself. Lumipad ang tingin ni Kian sa kaibigan at nanungot ang noo nito.“You know something, don’t you?”Everyone looked over at Rafa who just kept herself quiet. “You do know something, Rafa.”“I might but it’s not my question to answer, Kian.”“WA.” she suddenly blurted out. Agad-agad lumingon si Kian sa kanya, nanlalaki ang mga mata. Kahit si Niel ay nilingon siya, unblinking, shocked, speechless. Mahina siya’ng napatawa dahil sa reaksyon ng mga kasama. “For real?” halos panabay na sigaw ni Kian at

The answer to that was to be expected, but of course, hindi pa rin nila mapigilan hintayin ang magiging sagot ni Izza sa tanong na iyon. So when Izza finally replied, “Of course, Rence, I will.” with such glee, they all cheered for them, umulan bigla ng throw pillows. “Wow,” Richard muttered under his breath, a little shocked. “Holy shit!” natatawa’ng sabi nalang ni Greg. For a few moments, the whole living area was filled with clapping and cheering, of Congratulations and Thank you’s. “Gagi, hindi kami ready sa proposal mo, Rence!” na-iiling na bulalas ni Kian. “Pero, potek na ‘yan, bakit ang romantic pa rin?!” “Girl, inggit ka lang, iinom mo muna ‘yan.” tukso ni Niel. “Congratulations ulit sa inyo’ng dalawa,” bati ni Awa sa dalawa. To which they both replied in unison with, ‘thank you.’ “Siya, we’ll celebrate it again later, for now…” nakangiti’ng anunsiyo ni Niel at tumingin sa dereksyon niya. “it’s finally Awa’s turn to ask.”Since si Rence ang huling nagtanong, ito na

After dinner, she tried staying away from Europe. Emphasis on tried. Dahil after nila mag-dinner, they decided to watch a movie, totally random picked, at talaga’ng sinadya silang pagtabihin ng mga kasama nila. The movie was… not entertaining enough to them. Laging kinu-kontra ni Niel at Kian ang mga scenes althroughout the movie. “Bakit pa ba natin kasi pinanuod?” maktol ni Greg. “Lalaitin niyo lang naman pala.” “Constructive criticism ang tawag dun.” depensa ni Kian. “Aling banda doon ang constructive, ha?” “Lahat, duh!” Actually, talaga’ng nilait lang nila ‘yung movie. Minsan tinatama pa nga kasi hindi naman daw ‘yun ang nangyar sa libro. And she completely understand; nabasa na rin niya kasi ‘yung libro, in fact one of her favourites, and they totally ruined the whole story. After watching, since maaga pa sa kanila ang ten o’clock, they moved the table to the side and they formed a circle in the carpet. Niel decided for them to play: truth or dare. They have this rule:

Nakakunot ang noo ni Awa nang magtanong siya. “Why? Aren’t they friends with her?” Iling ang naisagot ng binata sa kanya. “Not really.” “Can I ask why?” “For reasons that are: one) we’re more like an arranged couple.. or something like that, two) they didn’t entirely like her personality.. and to quote Niel, “she’s a bitch.” “And three) because she took us for granted.” “Wait…” she paused, her hand hanging halfway out of the ecobag, “what do you mean arranged couple?” “You know how in corporate families, arranged marraige is a common thing.. to further expand the company and the connections, right? So both our parents wanted the same but since we were still in high school then,they settled for us to become a couple.. for the time being. “I was friends with Rence, Enzo and Greg, then. So they know all about that deal. Aya was, then, my first and only girlfriend. I admit, I didn’t like her at first but eventually I came around. “Himala nga at natagalan namin ang isa’t isa at

“Wait,” Last urgently said, she could swear she’s making this sniffing sound. And knowing Last, kinakabahan na siya dahil sa talas ng memorya at amoy nito. Sigurado si Awa na may ideya na ito kung sino at kanino’ng amoy iyon. “I know this smell…” “What?” naguguluha’ng tanong ni White. “This smell is familiar,” “Baka si Raf lang,” dinig niya’ng sagot ni Ember sa background. “Nandito siya, e.” “No,” mabilis na sagot ni Last, “I know how Kuya Raf smells…” “The fuck?” natatawang sabi ni Raf, “And how exactly do I smell, Last Alaine?” “Amoy malandi at playboy.” mabilis na sagot ng nakababatang pinsan, na tinawanan nilang lahat. “Totoo kaya!’ “That was rather harsh, Huli.” “Truth hurts, Kuya, suck it up.” “Para’ng hindi tayo mag-pinsan, ah, need I remind, you that we’re all basically carved from the same wood.” “True, but you were carved first, so there might be slight differences here and there.” Last retorted back quickly. “Anyway, as I was saying, Ate Awa… sinong nagnakaw sa

Chapter Sixty Eight “You, guys, are always heavy on food,” Asia commented as she swallowed a spoonful of baked potato casserole she ordered. “And alcohol.” She added before chewing her food, to which her eyes bulged and darted down her food. “Holy Hera!” she softly exclaimed. “This is delicious!” That earned a laugh from her friends, probably starting to get weirded out with her. Sue her, it was her first time eating a baked potato casserole and it automatically hit her top fave food. She fished her phone from her bag and took a snap before she continued to savour heaven in a form of potato. Nasa isang food park sila malapit sa, as usual, bahay ni Europe. Hindi ba niya alam ba’t trip ng mga ‘to lagi tumambay sa bahay ng binata. At, oo, mag-o-overnight na naman sila mamaya. According to Kian, libre raw ng manliligaw ni Rafa ang lunch nila ngayon. They actually got to meet them earlier, kaso may biglaang lakad ito kaya umalis

“San ta’yo?” was Kian’s question after the event. May iilan pa’ng libro’ng tinatapos na pirmahan ni Rafa, kaya hinihintay nila ito sa may tabi. “Nag-aya si Rafa, e. Libre niya raw.” “Tapos deretso overnight?” umaasa’ng tanong ni Greg. “Oo yata.” “Saan tayo mag-o-overnight?” asked Niel and everyone’s eyes flew over where Awa and Europe were standing. Mukha’ng napansin ito ng binata kaya agad ito’ng lumingon sa kanila at pinagkunutan ng noo. “What?” “Overnight daw,” “Geh,” was his only reply. Binalik ng binata ang tingin niya kay Asia. “Coffee?” Asia turned to face Europe, a wicked, teasing smile on her lips. “Ikaw, ha, are you low-key trying to ask me out on a coffee date?” Europe shrugged and looked at her straight in the eyes, “Maybe.” For a brief moment, they held each other’s gazes, as if they were in their own little bubble, like everything around them turned into a blur. “Absolutely,” Asia beamed, “pero pwede ba’ng iba puntahan natin? I know a place.” Tumango lang n
