Under Her Daydream (UNDER DUOLOGY #1)

Episode 64

Nasaan na iyong Chance na nagsabing hindi na siya marupok? Nasaan na?! Nasa pwet ng reader, nagkakape?!

Arggg!

I fucking hate myself right now!

THE next day came, Sunday, and I want to punch myself for forgetting that today is Alaia's birthday! Dahil sa pinagpatong-patong na stress ko sa OJT at sa nangyari sa amin kagabi ni Sebastian ay nawala talaga lahat ng plinalo ko last week!

Now, Alaia is acting like a kid. Ito kasi ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na hindi ako ang naunang bumati sa kanya. Great. Now, I have to stay on her birthday party longer just to make amends with her. And fucking great. The venue of the part is in PDYN's flat. Paniguradong nandoon si Sebastian! The only person na ayokong makita sa araw na ito!

I winced.

Buong araw ay na-stress talaga ako. Idagdag pa dito si Mylo na nag-a-alburoto. He doesn't want me to go to my best friend's party for pete's sake! That was my best friend's party and not anyone else's! I can't miss this one.

Doon ay nagkaroon kami ng alitan. Aniko, it's either he goes with me or I will go alone because he can never stop me now that Alaia is bitching me since I woke up this morning.

Sa huli ay wala talaga siyang nagawa. Sinabi niyang sasama na lang siya sa akin. And right now, I am waiting for him while wearing a pink silk dress with a decent showing of my cleavage and legs. My make up is just subtle, I want to look natural as possible.

Ilang minuto ang nakaraan ay dumating na rin si Mylo. He is just wearing an earth tone long sleeves and a black fitted trousers. As usual, he looks clean.

Pero ayon, ni pag-compliment sa akin ay hindi niya ginawa. Hindi niya ako kinausap hanggang sa makasakay na ako sa kanyang sasakyan. Well, I gave him the silence that he wants. I am just tired with his attitude. All I want right now is to just this day to end in good terms.

"Happy birthday, girl." I smiled at Alaia as I handed her my gift. I have to lean closer to her ears in order for her to hear me. Sa lakas kasi ng tugtog ng party song ay imposibleng marinig niya ako nang maayos.

"Girl!" Alaia flashed me her wide smile. Tila bang nawala na ang pagtatampo niya sa akin. She hugged me tightly. "Nako! Glad you came and— and you too, Mylo."

There is a slight roll eyes when she stared back at me again. "Basta get yourself a drink na lang, girl ha? I have to entertain the visitors for now."

"Sure, don't worry about us. Just go and do your thing."

Doon ay nagpaalam na siya sa amin ni Mylo. He is still not talking to me when we reached the food area. Kumuha na lang ako ng nachos at piniling kumain na lang.

Sa badtrip ko sa kanya ay hindi ko na rin siya kinausap. Ni hindi ko siya sinagot nang tanungin niya ako kung saan ako pupunta habang bitbit ang plato ng nachos. Hindi naman niya ako sinundan nang tumaas ako patungo sa balcony.

Gusto ko na lang talagang kumain!

Punyemas na 'yan!

Bahala sila diyan— wait . . .

Natigilan ako nang buksan ko ang pinto patungo sa balcony. My heart stopped for a moment. And then another moment came. I felt something painful on my chest.

It was Sebastian and Catalina.

Nakatayo si Catalina sa harap ni Sebastian. He is staring at her while his behind is leaning towards the terrace.

"Please, Sebastian." Catalina mumbled with her sophisticated voice.

Sebastian tore his gaze away from her. Hanggang sa bigla, napatingin siya sa direksyon ko. He blinked for a couple of times. He looks really shocked. It's as if I caught him while doing his favorite crime.

Isang malalim na paglunok ang ginawa ko bago ako muling pumasok sa loob. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinanggagalingan ng nararamdaman ko ngayon.

Teka nga, bakit ako nasasaktan? Bakit bigla akong nagselos?

Kami pa rin ba ni Sebastian?

As I swallow hard once more, I am shaking my head. Mali itong nararamdaman ko.

Nilapag ko ang plato sa isang center table. Nagmadali akong maglakad patungo sa hagdan. I want to go home now. I am confused and messed up to think right now.

Bakit ba kasi ako nasasaktan?

I was about to go down the stairs when someone grabbed my arms. Nang mapatingin ako sa kanya ay napasinghap ako. It was Sebastian's corncern asian eyes.

"Hey . . ."

I nudged his hand away. "D-Don't touch me . . ."

Hindi ko na siya hinintay pang magsalita. Nagtungo na ako pababa sa hagdanan. I know Sebastian is following me as I heard his foot steps from the wooden stairs.

"Chance, it's not what you think." I heard him say.

More than what he thinks I am thinking. I am more conscious to the realizations that slapped me.

He kissed me while he is still in a relationship with Catalina. He attempted to fuck me when he is still committed with someone else. Siguro sobrang baba ng tingin niya sa akin para gawin iyon. Does he take me as just an object for his sexual desires?

Well, fuck him!

My mind is flaming with uncontrolled anger right now. Hanggang sa bigla ay nakita ko si Mylo. He is sitting alone on one of the chairs in the dining table. I walked directly to him. Nang makalapit ako sa kanya, hinila ko siya patayo.

Then I glanced at Sebastian first before I do the thing that I never thought I would do in this entire lifetime.

I kissed Mylo infront of him.
