"A promise. If it's not fulfilled... then it is not a promise."
'The words kept popping in Hailey's head over and over again when she heard the name Ricci Rivero. It was because she tried to confess her love for that man before. But, it did not agre...
Weeks have passed and I can say that Ricci became cold to me. Cold as an ice. No texts, voice messages and he's not waiting me na in my condo. I know, I'm sad right now. But somehow, it was something refreshing. Siguro diba, ito yung time for him to think about all the things he have done and also for me.
Siguro iyon ang kailangan namin para sa isa't isa. Time and space para makapag isip sa mga bagay bagay. Well, siguro nga nag kamali rin ako at some point. Kasi I've expected too much from him. Ni hindi ko man lang naisip na mga bata ba kami nun. I realized din na mali ako.
Fans are still speculating that there's going on between us. Dahil nga diba, may mga nag cocomment na they saw us daw sa La Salle dati na laging mag kasama.
Then na triggered pa yun lalo dahil one of the person na nag video nung performance ko nung presentation eh, nag viral. Edi lalong umingay. Na isama pa nila si Juan kasi they saw na naman us daw sa isang resto. Sa isip isip ko, anong masama dun? Eh kumakain lang naman kami! Bawal magutom teh?
Last last day, inaya ako ni Juan sa isang party. Formal party daw ng mga UPMBT before UAAP starts. At first I was so hesitant. Kasi naman, hindi naman ako close sa UPMBT then add mo pa na nandun din si Ricci with his family. Yes, kasama families. Kaya triggered ang ate niyo hailey.
Nandito ako ngayon sa mall. Namimili ng simple dress that I could wear sa party bukas. No pressure naman daw so ngayon lang ako namili. Pero I feel anxious. Kanina pa kasi may mga group of girls na sumusunod sakin. Ewan ko, ang creepy lang.
I saw a dress. Wow. Ang ganda niya. Simple but elegant ang labanan! I was captivated by the dress look. I think this would fit me. Kinuha ko 'yon at dinala sa counter.
Pag dating ko sa counter ay inabot ko ito sa sales lady. "Hi! I'm gonna get this." I said while smiling. I used to smile to others. Ewan ko, para kasing wala ako sa sarili ko pag hindi ako ngumiti sa iba.
Tapos ko ng bayaran at naibalot na rin yung dress na binili ko. I smiled and wave to say goodbye to them. Patalikod na ako ng tawagin ako ng sales lady na nag assist sakin.
"A-ahm, Ma'am Hailey. P-pwede po ba magpa picture?" She asked while shuttering. Hala? Nakakatakot ba ako? Hindi ako nag-dalawang isip na lumapit ako sa kanya.
"Sure. Pero why are shuttering? Hindi naman ako nangngain ng tao," I said and laugh a little. They also laugh din.
"Nahihiya po kasi ako. Baka ho hindi niyo po ako payagan," nahihiyang sabi niya. Umiling ako. "Ay, grabe naman 'yun. Tara, let's take a picture," I said and kinuha yung phone niya para ako na yung mag capture ng photo. At first, ayaw niya. But I insisted.
When we're done taking photos I finally bid goodbye to them. Pero the group of girls approached me.
"Ate, Hailey. Pa picture po."
"Please po ate hailey."
"Kahit isa lang po ate hailey."
Sabay sabay nilang sabi. I smile formed in my face. They are so adorable. Ang cucute nila.
"Okay. Tara. Let's take a photo one by one and then follow up natin yung group photo, okay ba?" I asked them. Sabay sabay silang tumango.
Finally, tapos na kami mag picture. One of them spoke.
"Grabe. Ang bait niyo po talaga. Bagay na bagay po talaga kayo ni kuya Juan."
"Oy, hinde kaya. Sila ate Hailey at Kuya Ricci kaya ang bagay, no!"
"Oh, sige. Hatiin niyo nalang yung katawan ni ate Hailey tapos bigay niyo kay Juan at Ricci."
Natawa ko sa mga pinag sasabi nila. Inawat ko na sila bago pa sila mag away away dito.
"Wag kayong mag alala, pag meron na. Sabihan ko kayo," I said and winked to them. I waved goodbye to them. They were all speechless. Nag titinginan lang sila sa isa't isa.
I'm currently doing my make up right now. This is the day. Grabe, kinakabahan ako. Juan said he will pick me up at 7. Okay, 6 palang. So I still have time. Grabe yung paligong ginawa ko ngayon. Triple sa ginagawa kong ligo araw araw. Si Juan, Javi and Ricci lang naman yung kakilala ko dun. And the rest, they are all unknown and vice versa.
Juan texted me na that he is already here. Inayos ko na ang mga gamit sa isang gilid. I just bring one pouch. Pag kababa ko ay nakita ko agad si Juan na nakasandal sa kotse niya.
Wow. Ang gwapo niya! He's so freaking handsome in his suit. Parang hindi ko siya agad nakilala!
"Juan!" I called him. He looked at me and didn't even bother to blink.
Lah, anyare?
