“May ipakilala ako!” hinatak agad ako ni Maria kaya lumingon ako sa likuran ko at napanatag nung sumunod lang si Zowen sa amin.
Halos napakunot ang noo ko nung saan-saan ako dinala ni Maria andaming mga tao ngayon at parang may hinahanap pa siya dahil kung saan lang dumapo ang tingin niya. Sa huli ay napatigil kami sa malapit sa stage at naka-kunot ang noo ko nung nasa harap kami ng isang lalaki.
“Reina, boyfriend ko. . .” she immediately hooked the guy’s arm. “Si Andrius.”
I looked at the guy intently. I panicked for a bit because I wasn’t ready about this! The guy looks like a soft version of Louis Partridge and he is so gorgeous — it reminds me of that one greek god. . . pa ’no ba ’to nabingwit ni Maria? He looked at me shyly and offered me his hands.
“Andrius Vega.”
Inabot ko ang kanyang kamay, “Reina Ashley Castillo.” pagkatapos nung pagkamay ko sakanya ay tumingin ako sa likuran ko at napanatag nung nakita na naroon lang si Zowen na nakasandal. I gestured her to come that’s why she have no choice but to come closer with me.
“She’s Zowen Nabiste. . .” I introduced.
“Nice to meet you. . .”
Pagkatapos no’n ay may kinausap na si Andrius kaya hinatak ko si Maria at bumulong ako sakanya.
“What the fuck Maria. . . saan mo ’yon nabingwit!” I whispered aggressively.
She immediately chuckled and fixed her micro bangs, “Secret. . .”
“Alam ba ’to nila Ezra at April?” tanong ko pero umiling agad siya. She smirked at me and was about to brag.
“Pogi ’no? Baliw na baliw ’yon sa akin,” she flipped her short hair.
I snorted, “Baka ginayuma mo?”
She immediately rolled her eyes, lumingon siya sa likuran namin at agad ko sinundan ang tinignan niya at nakita ko si Zowen na naka-sunod lang sa amin. “Angas naman bodyguard mo ah?”
Hindi ako umangal at kumuha ako ng pagkain sa table na ngayon ay malapit kami ro’n. Maria keeps pestering me because Zowen keeps following us.
“Ako lang ang kilala niya dito. . . what do you expect her to do?” I said pissed now.
She chuckled, “Galit ah?” I rolled my eyes while taking a bite at their cassava cake, siguro ay ang mga cook nila ni April ang kinuha nila dito dahil nalasahan ko agad ’yong specialty nila.
The program is starting the moment I finished the last bite. Si Maria ay hindi ko na nakita dahil lumapit na ito sa boyfriend niya at binalita sa akin na kasama ’yon sa eighteen roses. I immediately drag Zowen’s hands when I saw April on the the other table gesturing me to sit with them. She’s with Ezra’s other friends at siguro mga ka-block nila.
“Wow. . . i’m glad Zowen is here!” April said, she immediately surveyed Zowen and smirked right after, “You’re so pretty. . .”
“Thanks,” I said smirking.
She rolled her eyes, “I’m referring to Zowen.”
Hindi na ako umangal at nakinig lang sa program ngayon. The emcee is familiar, sa tingin ko ay ka-block lang ’to nila Ezra. Nung time na lumabas na si Ezra at pumunta sa gitna ay mabilis ko pinalabas ang cellphone ko at hindi pinalampas na i-capture ’yon lahat. April stood up and she showed her DSLR and took a picture of Ezra, she even looks emotional while looking at Ezra dancing Infront.
I immediately diverted my gaze to Zowen when she just quiet on my side while looking in front, I got curious a bit and offered her a cup of drink.
“Hindi ako umiinom n’yan.”
