In Denial Mistress

CHAPTER I

I want to introduce a girl, a girl that could be every man's dream but she's more than a beautiful dream. Let us begin with her chinky dark eyes that spark every time you look into it, her chubby cheek bones that you always wanted to pinch so hard. Sexy red lips that you always desire to kiss and her smile that melts you every time. Long black silky hair that makes her more beautiful and her sweet voice you always wanted to hear. A very intelligent girl and down to earth, how could someone hurt like her?

Cosette Sy de Azur, yes, that's me! An overwhelming introduction, I guess.

Have you ever been so in love with someone who just broke your heart? That's painful. How can you forget someone that is everything to you? How will you going to handle the situation. Let me share my story.

I was only a college student when I met him. I was still an innocent girl who doesn't know how to figure out if it is true love. How will you know? Well I think you need to take a risk to see the results. I didn't know that I really come this far, I thought I will just die from having a broken heart.

I want to introduce my friends first. Si Anika, na laging gustong maging maganda sa paningin ng lahat ng tao. Well, she's indeed beautiful. I also have this friend Fate, ang napaka talinong nilalang sa buong mundo. At syempre si Miggy, obviously he's my gay friend.

We were actually from nursing department but being a nurse was not for us. So we decided to shift. Anika decided to shift in engineering department, Miggy decided to shift in I.T department while Fate and I decided to shift in education department. Actually, nursing was not my choice it was my parents' choice. Teaching will always be my first love that's why I decided to shift and pursue my dream to become a teacher. Boring right?

Let's begin.

[Summer vacation]

Dahil naiinip kaming lahat sa bahay, nag kayayaan kami para mag coffee. The typical killing time ng mga taong walang magawa sa buhay. Kahit na di na kami mag kaklasi nila Anika, Miggy and Fate, we still have a solid friendship.

Habang busy pa ako na nag bu-bubble bath suddenly nag ring ang phone ko and of course I answered it.

"Girl, where kana?" sabi nung girl sa other line and that's Anika.

I do not know what to say. I am so dead. Feeling ko nasa coffee shop na silang lahat, so I decided not to tell the truth.

"Oh well. Ah uhm, papunta na.."

"Okay, we're all here. Gonna wait for you. Ingat!"

"Yap. See you!"

Grabe. Ang aga naman nila, or late lang talaga ako. Nag madali na akong mag prepare baka ma bad vibes pa sila ng dahil lang sa akin.

Paalis na ako ng bahay then Dad saw me rushing.

"Cosette, nag mamadali ka ata?"

"Yes Dad, late na kasi ako e. Kanina pa ako hinihintay nila Anika sa coffee shop."

"Do you want me to send you there?"

"No Dad, it's okay. I can manage it. Mag aabangan nalang ako ng taxi. Thanks. I have to go."

Ewan ko ba bakit di nalang ako nag pahatid kay Dad para mapabilis ang pag dating ko sa coffee shop, sya na nga itong nag yaya. Nung makasakay na ako ng taxi nag ring na naman ang phone, syempre I need to answer it. This time it's Miggy.

"Girl, feeling ko nasa planetang Mars ka pa sa sobrang tagal mo."

"Sorry heavy traffic kasi sa dinaanan ni manong driver e. Pero super lapit na talaga ako."

"Dapat lang girl na malapit kana, kasi konting konti nalang iiwan ka na namin."

"Like seriously? I'll see you, pababa na ako, bye."

I cut the conversation at sinabi kay manong driver na ibaba nalang ako sa gilid at para di nq sya mag u-turn sa kabilang planeta. So, kailangan ko pang lumipat ng daan para makadating dun sa coffee shop. E sa lawak kaya ng daan na to at paano kung mahagip ako ng mga sasakyan dito, edi ayun 10 hours akong lumilipat sa daan na to.

Pag pasok ko sa coffee shop parang gusto na akong pag sasasaksakin ng mga kaibigan ko at feeling ko gusto na nila akong baralin sa sobrang inis nila sakin.. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung paano ko sila iaapproach.

"Wow! Congratulations! You made it here!" sabi ni Miggy.

"Finally! Heavy traffic? Luma na yan girl!" sabi naman ni Anika.

"At least nakadating sya." sabi naman ni Fate.

Oh Fate thank you for saving my life.

"Exactly, at least I made it here! Hmmm, anyway... order na tayo. Let's watch movie after this?" I said.

Tinawag na ni Miggy yung waiter dun sa may left side nya, pero napansin ko yung guy na kasama nung waiter na kanina pa nakatingin. Waiter din ba sya dito or what? May kasalanan ba ako sa taong yun bakit parang galit sya sakin? Galit din ba sya sakin dahil late ako? Ganyan?

Lumapit yun waiter samin.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am and Sir. Can I place your order now?"

Nag order na sila and syempre ako I ordered my favorite cake.

"Uhm, one oreo cheesecake and mocha frappe."

"Is that all Ma'am?"

"Guys, do you have additional orders?" sabi ko.

"I guess that's all." Sabi ni Fate.

While waiting for our orders, syempre nag share ng mga experiences sa mga bagong courses namin. I think mas nag eenjoy kami sa ginagawa namin. Mas masaya kasing gawin yung mga bagay na gusto mo talaga, yung di ka napipilitan.

Dumating na orders namin at syempre tuloy parin ang walang katapusan na kwentuhan at bigla naman isiningit ni Miggy sa usapan to.

"Girls, may napansin ako. Yung guy dun na naka color black na damit.."

"Which guy?" sabi ni Anika.

"Ayun oh." Sabi ni Miggy habang patago nyang pinopoint yung guy.

"Huh? Like? Hello? Naka black lahat sila girl. Hahahaha" sabi ko.

"Like? Yung guy na naka long sleeves." Sabi ni Miggy.

"Ahuh? Yung gwapo na guy? Napano? Type mo?" sabi ni Fate.

"Hmmmm gwapo sya! Pero kanina ko pa napapansin na parang may tinitignan sya dito. Parang tinitignan nya si Cosette?" sabi ni Miggy.

Bigla akong nabulunan nung sinabi ni Miggy na yun.

"ehem!!!!! Ha? Nakatingin sa akin? Bakit naman nya ako titignan?" I said.

"Baka bet ka nya girl. Ayeeeee!" sabi ni Anika.

"Tse! Baka si Miggy tinitignan nya!" I said.

"Cosette, actually kanina ko pa napapansin na kanina pa nga sya nakatingin sayo." Sabi naman ni Fate.

I tried to look dun sa guy na naka long sleeves. Nung tinignan ko sya nakatingin nga sya sa akin. Bigla naman akong nahiya.

"Hmmm. Actually, kaninang pag pasok ko nakita ko na nakatingin sya sakin. Take note girls, ang sama ng tingin nya sakin.." I said.

"Uyyy baka naman crush ka nya." Sabi ni Anika habang pabiru nya akong kinukurot sa may tagiliran ko.

At dahil kalikutan netong si Anika natabing nya ang baso ng frappe at alam nyo na kung ano nangyari. End of the story.
