Chapter 17
Zafira's Pov
"Uh wake up, Zaf!" I said as I slap my face hard. Today is already Monday and what happened on the party is still so weird!
Anyways, My monday seems to be more peaceful than the other days. I think I need to thank Kurt and Jc for this. Simula kasi nang naging mej close kami ay patuloy na nanahimik ang aking mundo.
And Jc seems to be more nicer to me because he always smiles simula noong party--
I suddenly slap my face hard again. Why do I keep remembering that party? It sucks!
"Zafira? hmm" Then he looked at Jc again. "Nice too meet you again, Ate Zaf"
He smirk at Jc once again before looking back at Gab who's drinking something. If Jc has that always cold look, His brother Justin has the smirking face always.
The speaker already started the party by introducing the couple who's celebrating their anniversary. They had slow dance in the middle.
I saw my Mom and my Dad walk their way towards the dance floor tohether with the others. The song played seems so romantic. Lahat siguro ng babae ay kikiligin kung may magaya sayong sumayaw.
Habang nadami ang mga nasayaw, Nakidalo na din ang aking mga pinsan na may mga kasama na din. They have dates? Woah.
The next thing I knew, A boy was standing in front of Gab, Asking her permission to dance with him but even before Gab say a word, Justin pulled her on the dance floor leaving the boy alone. How rude.
I felt his stares again, Jc's stare. He's looking at me.
He sighed before standing up from the chair. May isasayaw siguro siya. Okay lang naman ako na maiwan dito. Sanay na ako.
I was busy watching everyone having their slow dance when a familiar hand in front of me.
I-is he asking me to dance?
"Dance with me, Zafira" A thousand unexplainable feelings, I felt when he asked. I gladly took his hands then he walk our way towards the dance floor.
I put my other hand on his shoulders and the other one holds his hands. I didn't felt awkward when he place his hands on my waist. I feel that I already done this before.
Me and him dancing slowly--

"Yeah! Wake up, Zafira!" She slap me hard. Sarah slapped me hard and I felt mu cheeks on pain.
Nagulat na lamang ako ng makitang hawak hawak na ang dalawang braso ko ng dalawang alipores ni Sarah.
It was too late when I saw Sarah's hand kaya hindi ko naiwasan ang sampal niya sa kabila kong pisngi.
I badly wanted to cry already. Namamanhid ang aking pisngi at hindi ko mahawakan iyon. All I can feel now is pain.
"DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PRETTY ENOUGH DAHIL NAAYUSAN KA?" Sarah shouted at me.
Did I even say I'm pretty? I asked myself. Wala na akong ibang nagawa kung hindi ay yumuko para pigilan ang luhang nagbabadyang tumulo galing sa aking mata.
What's happening to me? Nakakadalawang sampal palang siya pero sobrang sakit na. Unlike dati na halos mabugbog na ako. It really hurts!
Marahas na hinawakan ni Sarah ang aking baba at itinapat sa kanyang mukha. Why do I see anger in her eyes? Ano ba ang nagawa ko sa kanya para magalit siya ng ganito sa akin?
"Bakit ba lagi ka na lang umeepal sa buhay ko?" kalmado nitong sabi. My eyes widen when I saw tears in her eyes. What's just happening!
"Don't act like you don't remember!" She said then slap my face again. This time, I can't help but to cry already. Hindi lang dahil sa sampal ni Sarah but the pain on my head. Gosh! It's happening again!
I felt my knees weakened kaya muntikan na ang akong mapaupo pero mas hinigpitan nila ang hawak sa aking braso kaya nanatili akong nakatayo.
"Stop acting like you don't remember me! Stop acting like ypur afraid!" Another slap and another and another. Sarah cried while she continue slapping my face. She didn't stop.
"You ruined my life!" She once again shouted but this time she didn't gave me a slap but a punch in my tummy. This is totally foul! She did this to me for the second time!
The next thing I knew, Isang kamao ang palapit sa aking mukha for the second time, I asked someone to save me like what happened before. I asked for help in my mind... But no one helped.
I cried so hard when her fist touches my cheeks. My knees weakened again but this time, they let me fall on the floor.
Funny how that savior of mine says he'll be my hero when in fact he doesn't save me at all times. So Hilarious that I think I really have an hero that will protect me. What happened Zafira? You never depend on anyone before. You never assumed.
But what happened now?
"Let's go" bakas sa boses ni Sarah ang pag iyak niya kanina. I wonder what really happened. Why is she blaming me for ruining her life kung wala naman akong ginagawa?
Nadinig ko ang mga yapak nila na papalayo na sa akin.I held my head nang madama ko nanaman ang sakit na nadadama ko palagi.
"Is Zafira, strong?" He loudly asked.
"Yes!" I said then I giggled that made him pinch my cheeks.
"That's correct! Matapang si Zafira kaya hindi ka dapat mag papaapi okay?" I happily nodded at him
"But You don't have to be so strong because I'm here. I'm your hero, right?"
I'm not strong. I never been strong. I'm the worst failure everyone knows. Sinikap kong buksan ang aking mga mata at tinignan ang dinaanan nina Sarah kanina. It feels like a de ja vu but this time my hero failed to save me.
