Tragic
Dark and red light, smell of smoke from a cigarette, different scent of branded perfume from girls, dancing peoples around the pole and in the stage, and loud music that can destroy your ear drum. This was the perfect illustration in club.
"Argh! I am tired!" Nicolas said. He went in the couch and sat beside Ailen.
"Hay nako! D'on ka nga Nic!" Pinipilit syang itulak ni Ailen pero yumakap lang sya kaya walang dahilan para umangal pa si Ailen.
"Kadiri! D'on nga kayo!" Asik ko sa kanila dahilan para tumawa sila ng ubod ng lakas.
"Naku kung ako sayo mag boyfriend kana. Puros Manalang kasi attend sa gig ng famous actor na yan. Nagsasayang ka ng pera no" Ailen said as she eyed the man in the stage. He's singing with a hypnotized voice that can attracted your heart and even your mind.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako habang nakatitig sa kanya. In the midst of crowd I am nothing to him. Never need to give an attention because I am only a supporter and I am not important.
"Thank you everyone for attending this small party" The man in the spotlight said as his precious eyes travelled the whole corner of the crowd.
My heart skipped a beat when his eyes suddenly stop in my place. The eye contact between us never cut as the intro of the music played.
Until the song ended he did not avert his gaze on my place. Should I assume? Did he...
"Aya! Tara na!" Ailen shouted from my back.
Napalingon ako sa kanya dahilan para maputol ang tinginan namin ng lalaki. Agad din naman akong napalingon pabalik ngunit wala na sa entablado ang lalaki.
Ilang araw lagi ako sa club ng lalaki pero hindi ko na sya nakita magsimula ng araw na iyon. Minsan napapadaan pa ako sa eskwelahan nila ngunit hindi ko parin sya mahanap.
"Shit talaga ang daming pinagawa ng teacher na yon! Kala mo naman sya lang nag-iisang subject natin this whole school year" Si Ailen. Naiinis dahil sa daming iniwan na activity ang Math teacher namin. Lunch ngayon at halos lahat ng studyante ay nasa labas para humanap ng restaurant, yung iba naman nasa cafeteria. Ailen together with Nicolas were sitted in the opposite side of the table. We are on the garden.
"Ikaw! tigilan mo nga ako sa kalandian mo Nic!" Ailen argue with Nicolas. Tahimik lang ako nag-is-scroll sa Facebook ng mga music video ni Harvey.
"Hoy! Nakikinig kaba?! Siguro kung nagpapatayan na kami ni Nic baka Wala ka pang pakealam" Ailen with her mad expression.
"Si Harvey na naman ba?" She ask looking into my cellphone's screen.
"Yeah" tipid na sagot ko.
"Balita ko ma'y concert sya sa Manila next week. Hindi ka manonood?" Nic said than glittered my eyes in happiness.
"Naku, naku, naku kayo talagang dalawa baka pag-untugin ko kayo eh. Pulos nalang Harvey, Harvey, Harvey,"
Ganoon nalang ang pinag-awayan naming tatlo. Basta titigil nalang kami pag umingay ang bell sa principals office tanda ng oras na ng pagpasok sa room.
"Diba may bagong transferee?" One of my classmates said as we entered the maindoor of the classroom.
"May bago na naman?" Ailen ask to him.
"Oo eh, balita ko nga famous. Avi? Avi ata yung name nya narinig ko lang sa mga kumpol na tao kanina"
Hindi ko na sila pinakialaman dahil pagod ako tapos kailangan ko pang magbasa nglecture dahil baka may surprise quiz na naman ang teacher namin.
