Waiting For Forever

WFF - 28

28.

Kathryn Chandria

4 months. 4 months simula nung umalis ang Parking 5 para sa World Tour nila. In the past 4 months, ayon sa press, break na kami ni Enrique Gil. Pero nagkikita pa din kami dahil sakanya ako ibinilin ng magaling kong boyfriend at pinsan. And guess what? They're official, him and Julia Montes! I know right! Didn't see that coming, did you? Sa loob ng apat na buwan, wala akong ginawa kundi mag trabaho at libangin ang sarili ko. From Studio, to photoshoot, to taping, to interview, to concert planning and so on and so forth. Sa loob ng apat na buwan, wala kaming disenteng schedule ni DJ. How can we have a decent schedule? Every 3 days, lumilipat sila ng bansa. At ako naman, halos umaga na umuuwi dahil sa trabaho at minsan tulog na lang ako palagi. But today's different. Why?

It's our first anniversary.

So here I am in Amsterdam, Netherlands airport with my baggage in one hand and a map in the other. I have a surprise for DJ. At yun ay, pumunta dito. Well not just to DJ but the whole Parking 5 as well. Si ate Celestine lang at si Ate Jackie, mga managers namin, ang may alam nito. Nalaman lang ni Enrique kasi nagpahatid ako sa airport. Here I am, though. I hailed a taxi and told him the hotel name. Pagbaba ko, kumuha agad ako ng kwarto, naligo at tinawagan si ate Celestine.

"Nasa isang floor lang sila. From 310 to 315. Huling huli yung kwarto ni DJ, which is 315. Sa third floor. If you need anything, I'm in 309, okay?" Ate Celestine asked. I huffed a quick thanks and fixed myself in the mirror. Sobrang excited. Bukod sa ito yung unang pagkikita namin ni DJ sa loob ng apat na buwan, eh anniversary din namin. I quickly made my way out of my room and ran upstairs para sa third floor. I walked and searched for 315. There was a lovely note on the mat.

Hey, Kath. Here's a spare key. – Celestine x

Sweet naman neto I grabbed the key and slipped the key inside the key hole. I turned the door knob when I hear familiar voices getting closer.

"DJ! MY MAN"

"KAMUSTA NA KAYA YON?"

"SIGURADO KNOCK OUT. PAGOD NA PAGOD."

"Swerte talaga ng Padillang to."

I turned around to see the other members of Parking 5 standing beside me. At lahat natahimik ng makita ako. Naka-nganga, almost scared. Nakita nila na hawak ko yung door knob at mas mukhang  natakot pa.

"Surprised?" I asked.

"Kath. Anong ginagawa mo dito?" Tanong ng pinsan kong si Kats na mukhang takot na takot din.

"Naki-tae lang. Ulol, syempre para isorpresa kayo at si DJ. Tara, pasok na tayo?"

 

 

"Ah, eh Kath—" Seth.

Before I can even turn the door knob, the door knob twisted for me. Napabitaw ako at nabuksan yung kwarto ni DJ. I gripped on the key para may kapit ako sa realidad. What I saw was a tall Netherlander with messy hair and messed up lipstick at mukhang kakagising nya lang. Her stockings were ripped off, and her corset was a bit ripped too, revealing her boob cheek. She smiled at the boys.

"Your friend was the best. Tell him I had to head out early." She said, her accent ringing in my head. She gave me a smile and left. Slowly, I walked in the room to see a naked DJ sleeping on his bed. Usually, I'd find this really gross. He was bare naked. But...

"Kathryn." I heard Katsumi's voice from behind. Pero nakatitig pa din ako sa figure ni DJ. His hair was a mess too and his clothes are all over the floor. "Kathryn." Kats, repeated. Pero wala. Naglakad ako papunta sa kama. My eyes forming tears. And when I looked closely to DJ, he had lipstick marks on his face, his neck, his body. At wala, bigla ko na lang siyang sinampal. Isang malutong, at mahigpit na sampal.
