Chapter 8
"Aria, tapos mo na ba yung manuscript mo? Ms. Evangelista is asking for it already."
"Huh?" Napalingon ako kay Mark at balik sa screen ng computer ko kung saan nagsusulat pa ako. "I'm still working for the ending. Can I submit this next week?"
"I'm not sure. Ask mo nalang si Ms. Evangelista," Mark answered, shrugged.
Napasabunot ako sa aking buhok habang tutok na tutok sa screen. I'm currently suffering from writer's block. Bakit pa kasi ngayon pa? May deadline kaming sinusunod at ilang araw nalang iyon. I really need to finish this. ASAP!
Suddenly, my phone vibrated and lights up on my table. It's a text message.
Blake:
Come to my house. I'm throwing an exclusive party.
I gasped in disbelief. Is he commanding me now? I'm already struggling here and he'll add up to my struggles?! Ang hirap nga siyang harapin, e! Ang hirap kasi kapag kaharap ko na siya, yung puso ko ay nababaliw hanggang sa umakyat sa utak ko ang kabaliwan! Kung ano ano na ang naiisip ko. Baka mamaya pagsisihan ko ang susunod kong gagawin.
A minute later, another message arrived from same person.
Blake:
Don't ignore this message. Don't you try to ditch me, okay? Or else I'll come and pick you up.
Tuluyan na akong napa-irap. Iba rin talaga ang lalaking 'to, e!
Nag-tipa na ako ng irereply.
Me:
No need to pick me up. I'll come so stop nagging me.
Yeah, I'll come. No need to pick me up when in the first place, you can't catch me.
Later on, Blake replied but I did not send him another message.
Umuwi kaagad ako pagkatapos ng office hours. Supposedly, I'm about to have an overtime work but that Nagging Prince has been pestering me.
Once I'm done preparing, I check myself on my full-length mirror. Okay lang naman ma-late. Di naman ako ang highlight. Pupunta lang naman ako kasi kaibigan ko siya. Kaibigan lang. Sakit.
I'm wearing a Ronny Kobo Ada Crop Top, UO Silence + Noise Edith Skirt in Sky and a pair of Prada Peep Toe Slingback Sandals. I left my hair undone. I love the color of my hair. I, then, grabbed my L.K. Bennett Karla Shoulder Bag and went out of my apartment.
Pagkarating ko ng bahay ni Blake ay medyo naasiwa ako. It's an exclusive party as he say it, yet, there are many invitees. Well, can't blame him since his a well-known musician now. He's a celebrity and he has many friends in the field.
I immediately went to the kitchen to grab a beverage. I look around to see different classes of persons. Some are celebrities, bosses from his management, and an average people just like me.
"You came," I turned my head to my left to see Zac.
"Uh, yeah. Kulit ni Blake, e."
He chuckles at my retort.
"Did you see Blake already?"
Umiling ako sa tanong niya. Dumiretso nga ako dito sa kitchen, e.
"This is extravagant."
"It's actually a simple party," Zac retorted.
"The party is simple but the invitees are not," I heave a deep breath.
