Kabanata 27

Confusing

He matured a lot. Ang estilo ng kanyang buhok ay buzz cut meron naring tumutubong balbas sa kanyang mukha. It made him look dangerous and veil. His shoulders become more boarder. His t-shirt hug his body well making him more hotter. His mestizo skin attracts because of his black shirt.

Nag iwas ako ng tingin ng maramdaman ang pag dagungdung ng aking puso.

Your over him, Dalhia...

You're long over him.

Get it together...

Nilibot ko ang paningin at may ibang babae napapalingon sa amin. Mostly girls gawking at the man beside me.

Nakita ko agad si Jainie sa may dance floor. I went to her with my trembling knees. Troy was behind me following and protecting me from the crowd.

"Jainie."tawag pansin ko sa kanya ng makalapit.

Nakangiti ito ng lumingon sa akin.

"Dalhia!"she yell. She looks drunk.

"What a great time to be here."she said and smiled.

Yeah, now I'm regretting being here.

"Happy birthday."

"Happy birthday, Jainie." Saad ni Troy.

Biinigay ko ang regalo sa kanya. She excuse her self when her father called her. Ako naman ay nilingon si Troy. Blanko ang mukha nito nakatingin sa malayo. He keep on looking everywhere being aware for danger. When he senses me staring at him he looked down at me.

He placed his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him. Marami na kasing tao ang nag si datingan. Medyo sumisikip na dito sa loob.

Bumalik sa akin si Jainie at hinila ako patungo sa table. To my horror nandoon rin si Thorn.

Now I concluded destiny is my mortal enemy. I sit uncomfortably when I sat down in front of him. I placed my fist hand on Troy's thigh, I keep on pressing my fist on his thigh. Naramdaman ko ang paghaplos niya dito.

"Dalhia, it's good to see you again."saad ng pinsan ni Jainie. "You look prettier."

"Thank you... Same goes to you."

Nilapat ko ang tingin sa aking harapan. Madilim niyang tinitigan ang bote ng beer sa kanyang kamay habang pinapaikot ito.

"Bigla ka nalang nawala."commento ng pinsan ni Jainie na kaklase namin noon.

"That's her forte..."malamig na saad ni Thorn.

I held my breath. And everyone on our table fell silent. Nilingon ko siya at nakita ang nababagang mata niya. Nag iwas ako ng tingin. Now his waving the victim card. How ironic.

Walang nag salita sa amin. They sense the awkwardness kasi alam naman ng buong school noon na may gusto ako kay Thorn. Our relationship, whatever you called that is the talk of the town .

"Beb, anong gusto mong inomin?"

"Cocktail..."

Nag tawag siya ng waiter.

"Five glasses of cocktail, and also five glasses of margarita."

"That's too much." The man beside me commented.

"Nilingon ko siya. "It's fine."

"It's not. You have to get ready for tomorrow."

"Troy, hindi tumatalab ang limang baso kay Dalhia. It would take ten more glasses to make her drunk.." inabot niya sa akin ang baso. "Believe me..."she said.
