Party
"Nakuu, bilisan na natin, Ivy." salubonbg ni Erich isa sa aking blockmate sa isa kung subject. "May registration pa raw." nag mamadali niyang sabi and she pulls me.
"Ay naku, rich." natatawa kung ani.
Patakbo kaming pumunta sa Hall, at sakto naman na isa nalang ang andun, kaya agad kami pumila at nag register.
Hinintay ko si Erich sa pag registration niya at sabay kaming pumasok sa Hall. Tinawag naman siya bigla ng kanyang Boyfriend kaya nag hiwalay nalang kami.
Nag hanap ako ng table at sakto nakita ko si Mona na kumakaway. Lumapit ako sakanila at kumaway.
Umupo ako sa tabi ni Yeo. At ngumiti, he smiled back. "Buti nalang at nakaabot kayo. Mag C-close yung registration by 10:30." he said.
I look at my phone at 10:28 na. I sighed at natawa. "Kaya pala madaling-madali si Erich." sabi ko.
He chuckled. "Uy, Keio.... Dito ka." tawag ni Mona kay Keio.
Lumingon ako sa likod at nakita siya sa Likod. He was wearing white polo na nakabukas at sa loob nun ay black shirt he was wearing navy blue pants.
Lumapit ito saamin at parang may biglang malakas na hangin ang dumaan sakanya, dahil sa buhok niyang lumipad at tila huminto ang oras. He was slowly walking towards me with straight face.
I shook my head at dali-daling lumingon kay mona at uminom ng tubig.
"Shit." inis na bulong ko saaking sarili.
Umupo ito sa tabi ko. I was in the middle of two guys. I smiled at Yeo at uminom muli ng tubig.
My hands, feet was shaking. I can't even handle it. Para akong chino-choke.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMENS. WELCOME TO OUR YEAR END PARTY. I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAVING FUN, BECAUSE THIS NIGHT IS OUR NIGHT TO HAVE FUN!!!! WE ALL DESERVE A HAPPY DAY, AFTER ALL THE STRESS AMD PRESSURE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED FOR MONTHS NOW WE ALL DESERVED, A PARTYYYYYY! " Malakas na sigaw ng MC at nag patugtug ng sobrang lakas na Music.
It's currently 10:30pm. Maraminbg tao at nag sasayawan sa Hall, nasa gilid ang mga table at chairs at mistulang nasa bar kani dahil sa iba't-ibang kulay ng mga Ilaw.
Pwede naman ang Beer dahil na rin College Night ito. May nag serve samin ng Beer at agad ko naman iyon ininum. My throat feels so dry.
"Ivy, tara dance floor." pagaaya saakin ni Mona. I shooked my head.
"Later, Mona. After natin kumain." I said.
"Sige, basta aki mag p-party ako." she said at pasayaw-sayaw na umalis sa table namin.
Naiwan kaming Tatlo ni Yeo, Keio, at Ako. Keio was drinking his beer while Yeo was talking.
"Dapat sulitin natin 'to kasi by next year, bugbug na tayo sa mga activities." Yeo said.
Tumango ako sakanya. "Yup, We should really have a long rest after those stressful happenings." I said.
"Kaya, naman I can't wait to go to Baguio." He said at tumawa.
Ilang minuto pa kaming nag uusap then, the song suddenly stop. "EVERYONE! LET'S STOP THE PARTY FOR A WHILE. ALAM KO YOU GUYS ARE ALL STARVING. SO YOU MAY EAT WELL GUY." the MC said.
Marami agad pumunta sa Catering at pumila. Mahaba yun kaya nag hintay kami hanggang sa kaunti nalang pero ilang minuto na ang nakalipas marami pa ring estudyante.
I look at keio, tumayo ito at nag lakad paalis. I was just looking at him hanggang sa hindi ko na siya nakita.
"Tara, Ivy. Baka maubosan tayo ng pagkain." Yeo said.
"Mamaya na Yeo. Hindi naman tayo mauubusan." sabi ko.
"Sige, you can stay here. I'll get our food nalang." He said. At tumayo.
"Keio, don't bother na. I'll just wait here." sabi ko sakanya while shooking my head.
"No worries, I insist."he said and ran.
Hindi ko na siya napigilan dahil mabilis itong umalis. Hinilot ko ang akin sintido at huminga nang malalim.
Nag hintay ako ng ilang minuto, I was drinking Coke that was served to me. Nadito na rin si Mona at iba pang pumunta sa dance floor kanina. Kumakain na sila at nag tatawanan.
"Ivy, kumuha ka na ng pagkain." Gerald said.
Tumingin ako sa banda kung saan kumukuha ng pagkain at kaunti nalang sila. Akma akong tatayo, ng may dalawang plato ang pumigil saakin.
I stop and look at the person holding two plates. I saw keio from my right side holding plate and Yeo Holding plate.
I swolled hard at tumingin sakanilang dalawa. Dahan dahan akong Umupo at nakita ko si Mona na nakangisi saakin.
Sabay nila iyon nilapag. Keio's plate has Carbonara, Cordon Blue with sauce and Beef steak. Yeo's plate has another dishes, It has rice, chicken, Pizza and little chocolate cake.
I smiled at them awkwardly. "T-thank you, but y-you can have it guys." I said
"Yku should eat. I have food here." Keio said at tinuro ang pagkain sa harap niya.
"Me also, At diba sabi ko sayo na ako kukuha ng pagkain mo." Yeo said.
Napakamot ako sa ulo ko at tumingin kay mona. She was grinning, i rolled my eyes at kinuha ang utensils sa harap ko.
Keio at Yeo sat at nag simula na ring kumain. I sighed at hindi ko na sila muling tinignan.
Dahan-dahan akong kung kumain. Inuna kung kainin ang binigay ni Yeo saakin. I wasn't planning to eat the food that Keio gave to me but, he was looking at me.
Mona left, Yeo, left. People on our table all left and went to the dance floor.
Tanging kami nalang ni Keio ang nasa Table at kumakain. Kinuha ko nag pagkain na ibibigay saakin nj Keio at dahan dahan na kinain iyon.
I LOOK AT HER. Dahan dahan itong kumain ng pagkain na ibinigay ko sakanya.
"Do you feel awkward?" I ask her. She look at me quickly at mabilis na tumingin agad sa pagkain niya
She slightly nod and I sighed. "Kumain kana, don't feel awkward." I said at tumayo.
Nag lakad ako palabas sa Hall at umupo sa bench.
Nasa hrap lang ng Hall ang field kaya nakita ko agad ang mga puno na sumasayaw kasabay ng Hangin.
Madilim na ang langit, may mga bituin na kumikinang. Kinuha ko ang yosi ko at sinindihan yun.
"Nag yo-yosi ka pala?" biglang tanong ng isang Pamilyar na boses mula sa likod ko.
Lumingon ako at nakita ko si Ivy. Lumapit siya palapit at umupo sa tabi ko. "Mm." maikling sagot ko at humit-hit ng yosi.
"Bakit? Dapat di ka nag yo-yosi" she said.
"Minsan lang naman." i said at tinapun ang yosi.
"Still, not healthy."she said. And we eefd surrounded with quiet. Tanging bulong ng hanging ang naririnig sa kapaligiran namin at ang tugtug na nag mumula sa Hall. "Sorry." she said.
"Why?" kunot noo kung tanong sakanya.
"Kasi, na f-feel mo yung awkwardness. Kasi pinapa-feel ko sayo yung awkwardness." she said mahina ang boses nito at puno nang lungkot.
"You don't have to worry anything, ivy. It's fine."i said and tap with head. " I have to go." I said and left rhe scene.
BAGO AKO TULOYAN NA UMALIS, NAKITA KO SIYANG NAKA TINGIN SAAKIN. HER BEAUTIFUL EYES WAS LOOKING AT ME.
I SMILED SECRETLY AT UMALIS NA NANG TULOYAN.
