*frustrated smile*

I’m lying.

Though hindi talaga ako heartbroken, naiinis ako sakaniya. HOW DARE HE! Sino nagsabi sakaniyang di ako pansinin ha?

What a beautiful birthday present.

*sigh*

My birthday is 5 days away and my mom is freaking out like crazy. Sinend niya na lahat ng invitations ko a week ago. My birthday gown and shoes are ready. The party planner, si Nadia, ay lagi nasa bahay. Always giving my mom the updates on location, food, whatever, who just RSVPed or whatever. Like my dad, relaxed lang ako. Not giving an eff.

I wonder if Daniel RSVPed na.

“Kath?” may katok sa pinto ko.

Nagbuntong hininga ako at clinose ang libro kong THE BADBOY’S MARIONETTE. In which Tory Winslet, ang main character, ay nainlove kay Edgar Hartington, the school’s bad boy, but ends up heartbroken and used when she was freshman in highschool. Tapos biglang nagbago si Edgar nang maging Senior na sila and wants to have her back but Tori’s dating Jack O’ Connor, ang kaaway ni Edgar. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

“Yeah?”

“Pwede pumasok?” Kilala ko yung boses.

“Sige na.” sabi ko.

Pumasok si Nadia, dala dala yung clipboard niya. Halatang stress na siya dahil naglilip-bite siya at inaayos ang buhok niya with a pencil.

“I have bad news..” sabi niya.

“Hmmm?”

“May hindi nagRSVP..” sabi niya.

“Oh?” sabi ko at napakagat ng labi. Sana hindi si DJ. “Sino?”

“Si Mr. James Ricafort.” Sabi niya

Thank the Lord.

“It’s okay..” sabi ko.

“Kailangan natin ng kapalit..” sabi ni Nadia. “We can’t let anyone know about this. What would other people think?” nagtataptap siya ng shoes niya.

I shrugged. “Try to invite Polly Ann Guzman.” Sinend ko sakaniya yung number via phone. “She’s a friend of mine and Julia’s.”

“Okay.” Sabi ni Nadia at nagsulat sa clipboard niya.

“Okay.” At binuksan ulit ang libro ko.

“And Kath, btw.” Sabi ni Nadia bago niya isara ang pinto. “This came in the mail for you.” Binaba niya ang isang maliit na envelope sa table katabi ng pinto.
