Chapter 48: Birthday

Chapter 48: Birthday

~*~

*Hazel's POV*

My face heated up. It's not really because of the surprise infront of me. It's not because of all the people shouting happy birthday for me.

It's because of Clash. Naramdaman kong huminga siya sa leeg ko habang sinasabi niya ang katagang happy birthday.

Those people infront of me continued to shout.

"dali na... pasok na tayo." Bulong ni Clash. At sa wakas binitawan na niya ako pero bigla naman niya akong inakbayan.

♪ You got that James Dean!

Day dream! Look in your eye...

And I got that red lip... classic thing that you like!

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.

'Cause we never go out of style!

I was smiling widely as Claire sang infront of the guests. Halatang nag-e-enjoy siya. Ganoon din naman ang mga taong nanonood sa kaniya.

"aren't you going to eat?"

Napalingon ako kay Kuya Roro. Kinasabwat pala siya ni Clash para maging successful yung party. "I'm fine Kuya. Kain ka lang."

"sus. Birthday mo kaya kumain ka. Nahiya naman kami." nagtawanan sila Francis at Kuya Andrew. And yes, it's my 20th birthday. Hindi ko lang napansin kasi hindi ko gaanong pinapansin yung kalendaryo sa bahay.

"oh sige, ganito, pangkukuha nalang kita ng pagkain. Stay here. France, i-entertain mo muna ang little sis ko ha." Tinapik ni Kuya si France. He walked out of our table at dumeretso na siya sa buffet table.

"nasaan si Clash-boy?" tanong ni Kuya Andrew. "nawala na siya pagkatapos noong sigawan kanina."

Napatingin naman ako sa paligid. "oo nga..." napaisip ako. Nawala siya nang nakapasok na kami sa loob.

"ah... hinihintay ata niya sila Daddy Rom sa labas eh." Sabi ni France. Tinatawag niyang Daddy ang Daddy ko. Ganoon sila ka-close sa family namin. "oh ayan na pala."

I quickly turned around para tignan ang entrance. And France's not wrong. Clash is here, with my family. I stood up nang nakalapit na sila. "oh... my daughter." Lumapit si Mommy.

I hugged her tightly. I really missed her. "I missed you, Mom." Pumupunta siya sa bahay namin ni Clash pero minsan lang... ngayon ko nalang siya ulit nakita noong huli niyang visit.

"me too sweetheart. Happy Birthday, Princess." She cupped my face and kissed me on my cheeks.

"oh... tirhan mo ako." tumingin naman ako kay Daddy.

"Dad." Sabi ko. He smiled and turned to hug me. I missed him so much. With everything that happened to me.

"Happy Birthday, Princess. Always know that we love you." Bulong niya habang yakap-yakap ako.

"me too, Daddy." Sabi ko.

"sorry na-late kami. We just attended something important." Sabi ni Mommy.

"okay lang po iyon." Sabi ko. Napatingin naman ako kay Clash. He's just standing quietly at the back. Ang gwapo niyang tignan sa formal attire na suot niya. Naka-black pants siya at suit and tie. Ang gwapo niya talaga... Napansin kong patingin-tingin lang siya sa mga guest. I can't describe his expression. Parang bored. Pero mukhang nage-enjoy naman siya.
