DETECTIVE FILES (A FANFICTION)

THREE

AMBER

              It turns out na kasali rin sina Gray sa upcoming dinner namin nila mommy dahil naikwento daw ni Ryu na ihahatid ako ni Gray when mom asked. Eventually, napagdesisyonan nalang na gawing party with friends ang dinner so she can bond with people that surrounds me daw, and here we are waiting for the boys sa same shop na binilhan ko ng dress, after naming kumain ng ice cream. Mukhang nagtatalo pa sila kung sino ang pinaka 'gwapo' daw habang suot suot ang kanilang suits na sinusubukan. Well, both of them are good naman.

"How do I look special A? Bagay ba'to sa suot mong silk dress?" Khael said and winked at me. He's wearing a pearl-white suit, and not going to lie, he look dashing with those fit. But I won't say it. I  frowned at him, bakit naman kailangang maging bagay ang suot namin.

"It's not like we're attending a prom night, Alonzo. So why with the matching outfit?" singit ni Gray. He's wearing a jet black suit. He look really manly with black suit. Honestly speaking, these two buddies are head turners. Kaya hindi nalang ako magtataka na marami ang nakikiusyoso sa fitting ng dalawa. Kanina nga ay may pasimpleng kumukuha ng litrato sa dalawa and most of them are juniors at may nagpapacute na mga sales lady.

     Pagkatpos nilang mapagdesisyonan na bilhin ang mga napiling suits ay diretso ay umalis na kami sa mall. Hinatid kami pauwi ni Gray with his Porsche. Math and I are at the back seat while Khael ang nasa passenger seat. Nagtatalo pa nga sila about kung sino ang ihahatid muna sa amin. Hinayaan ko na lamang ang kanilang bangayan at sinalampak sa tenga ang earphones ko. Napaidlip naman ako dahil sa pagod kanina habang namimili sa mall.

"Hey, Amber. We are here." Math whispered while slightly tapping my left cheek. Napabalikwas naman ako ng bangon at inayos ang sarili. Pagtingin ko naman sa front, Khael was still with us, akala ko ay naunang siyang hinatid ni Gray since mas malapit naman ang place niya compared sa dorm namin. I could imagine both of them quarreling kung  ihahatid muna kami ni Math sa dorm before sa bahay ni Khael.

"Ah oo nga pala, everyone, Ryu texted me. He said 6:00 pm daw yung start ng party." I announced.

"I'll pick you up Special A!"

"Sunduin nalang kita maya."

   Nagpalitan naman ng masasamang tingin si Gray and Khael. While Math turned her gaze at me. Her face is like telling me to decide already. I swallowed hard not knowing what to say.

"A-ah e, p-pupwede namang isang sasakyan lang yung gamitin natin papuntang mansion diba?" I suggested.

"Sabagay, mas maganda kung sabay sabay nalang tayo, right? Gray and Khael?" Math said, grinning and waved to both Gray and Khael's faces. Nagsusukatan parin sila ng tingin at kulang na lamang ay magsuntukan kung wala lang kaming dalawa ni Math ngayon sa likod nila.

"S-si Jeremy nga pala, n-nasabihan niyo na ba?" pag-iiba ko ng usapan.

"A-ah yes, I mean hindi pa. Pag nagkita kami sa dorm, I'll tell him about the dinner." Gray said slightly breaking the death glare he's throwing to Khael.

....
  

        "Hindi niyo manlang ako tinawagan." Jeremy said while sulking in the corner. Nasa cafeteria kami ngayon for lunch break. Kanina pa siya ganyan dahil lang nalaman niyang namili kami sa mall without him, he's jealous na hindi siya nakapag ice cream at shopping ng susuotin.

"I can lend you some of my suit. Stop bugging Amber, puns." Gray said.

"At isa pa biglaan lang yon. Hindi ako sinabihan ni Ryu. He just texted me the time, and don't worry I'll treat you ice cream after class." depensa ko. I forgot buying gift for mom and mamamaya papasamahin ko nalang si Jeremy just like what I have promised. Anyways, sinadya bang hindi ako pinaalam ni Ryu? That devil.

"Oo na! oo na! Pinagtutulungan niyo pa akong dalawa eh 'no? Kailangan talaga by pair? Anyways, talaga Abo? You will lend me your Prada suit?" Jeremy said with glowing eyes. Ignoring my peace offering.

"Anything, puns." Gray agreed lazily. Para lang matahimik si Jeremy. Gray doesn't really care what brand he has in his closet. Not a big deal for him. Maybe it's a gift from Cronus or anyone from the mafia group.

"Yehey! Ice cream date with bestie-- ouch!" Jeremy said cheerfully. Akala ko nasilaw na siya sa peace offering ni Gray.

"Ano ba Abo! I know you stepped on my brand new shoes!" pagprotesta ni Jeremy.

"Y-you can't just accuse someone without presenting e-evidences" Gray countered while biting on his burger.

"Really? You are stuttering just now, isn't that enough evidence? But whatever you say, Gray. You are just jealous na mag a-ice cream date kami ni bestie while you-- OUCCCCHHH!" Jeremy dramatically winced in pain while covering his left arm, inspecting if nagkaroon ba ng wound don, and huh? Bakit naman mag seselos si Gray. We already have ice cream yesterday and I supposed he's not craving for it anymore. Not unless, he wants to treat Jeremy ice cream too! If I were him, I would not do that. Knowing Jeremy, he would make Gray buy ten pieces of Magnum.

"How about you Zywon?" pag-iiba ng usapan ni Math. She pinched Jeremy's arms causing Jeremy to flinch.

"What the hell Mathilde!" Jeremy said now facing Math and at the same time interested on Zywon ang Math's conversation.

"Oh, ba't nagtatanong may ipapahiram ka ba? May Luis Vuitton?" sabat ni Jeremy.

"Of course I can ask dad to lend you guys one of his Luis Vuitton suits. He has a lot of spare designer clothes in his walk-in-closet. Since every business trip ni dad blah blah blah..." Math said with her furniture shop.

Pinagpatuloy ko nalang ang aking pagkain, alam kong mag babangayan nanaman sila. Hindi na nga nakasagot si Zywon because this two are already bickering. We finished our food while the too are still having a debate.

      
        After the class, me and Jeremy both went to a jewelry store to buy a present for mommy. It's not like it's her birthday, gusto ko lang magbigay ng gift. Hindi ko man masuklian ang mga ginawa nila sakin, I just want to let her know how much I am forever grateful for having her as my mom. I will forever treasure our moments together. I have thought of giving her necklace pero sigurado akong marami na siyang ganoon. But necklaces really fits on her, so I decide to give her a locket with our picture together. It was customized. May naka engrave na pangalan namin sa likod ng pendant. It's not that expensive though. I just hope that she will like the style and its  features.
