Masyadong malakas ang tugtog sa Horizon kaya halos magsigawan na kaming apat. Tinawanan ako ni Ace at Levi nang ikwento ko sa kanila ang nangyare. Katulad nga ng sinabi ko kanina, hindi na ito bago sa kanila.
Sinamaan ko silang dalawa ng tingin.
Hindi si Savannah ang unang babaeng inireto sa akin ng ama ko. She's the fifth in my father's list of wealthiest people who can make him put his name on his dream pedestal.
Inaamin kong dumating ako sa punto kung saan pinapatulan ko ang mga babaeng ipinapakilala niya sa akin. Hindi pa kasi ako seryoso noon. Nagbago lang ang lahat nang naging nobya ko si Aimee. Nag desisyon akong mag seryoso. Akala ko ay magugustuhan iyon ni Iñigo dahil katulad ng pamilya namin ay may ipagmamalaki din ito. Pero nagkamali ako. Nagalit maigi sa akin ang ama ko. He set me up with another girl and that is Savannah.
"Chill, man! We're just cheering you up. You're too serious." Saad ni Ace na humahalakhak pa din.
Levi placed his hands on the both side of my shoulder.
"Oh come on, Siege. Just think of it as one of the many struggles that will butt in to your relationship with Aimee. Magtu-two years na kayo, dude. Hindi ka naman siguro susuko dahil lang doon." Si Samuel.
"Syempre hindi." Pahayag ko.
It's true. Marami na kaming napagdaanan ni Aimee. Isa pa, engage palang naman kami noong Savannah na iyon. Hindi pa kami kasal. Kung hindi ko man ito matutulan, baka pwedeng siya.
They all barked out of laughter. "That's the spirit, man! Besides, it's Aimee Flaveria. The campus queen!" Pagpapalakas nila ng loob ko. Natawa na din tuloy ako.
The happiness that friends can give you is more than enough to lighten up your mood. Elementarya palang ata ay magkakasama na kami hanggang sa mag kolehiyo. Hindi tulad ko, walang nakaatang na mabibigat na responsibilidad sa kanila. Bagay na ikinaiinggit ko.
Ang oras ay mabilis na tumakbo. Ang mga inumin na in-order namin ay kulang pa. Agad iyong naubos kaya muli kaming humingi ng isang bucket at dalawang tower ng alak.
"Anyway, who is this one lucky bitch this time?" Bigla ay tanong ni Ace.
Inubos ko ang laman ng hawak kong bote ng alak bago ko siya sinagot.
"Savannah..." I answered him.
My mind is already in haze. I jogged my memory.
"Savannah....Dondiego? I guess?" I continued, struggling to recall her full name. I was really stupor. I wasn't even sure if what I said was right.
Mula sa aantok-antok na Ace ay parang nawala ang kalasingan ni gago. Ganoon din si Levi at Samuel. Nanlalaki ang mga mata nito nang marinig ang sagot ko. Para bang nagbanggit ako ng pangalan ng isang sikat na artista.
Samuel even dropped his beer while dramatically gaping his mouth wide open. Each of their faces was damn priceless.
"Anong klaseng reaksyon yan mga gago." Komento ko. Napailing na lang tuloy ako.
"Y-you...you mean Savannah Dondiego? THE Savannah Elysse Dondiego? What the fuck, MAN?!" Samuel gasped.
Tss. The way they reacted giving me hints that Savannah was really famous and very well known. Dad must really lay his winning card in the deck this time. Nevertheless, it wouldn't change the fact that the girl I wanted in life is Aimee.
"Have you seen her?" His eyes were narrowing like a sniper. I shook my head as a response.
I chugged down my drinks. Damn! I was hundred percent sure I would wake up late again.
"Good. Just don't try to look at her face. Stop that marriage as soon as possible. Ikaw din. Bahala ka." He advised me.
I laughed.
"Who is she? Medusa? Asshole! Nothing will change even I stare at her." I said coolly to them but he just gave me a challenging look as if he's daring me.
"Medusa?" Amusement was visible to his face. "Man, she's an APHRODITE." Si Ace.
Typical manwhores! Parang halos lahat naman ata ng babae nagugustuhan nila.
"Sayang wala akong picture dito. Wala din ako makitang picture sa internet. Tangina gusto kong isampal sa mukha mo. Tingnan lang naten."
"Good luck to you, man." Ang tatlong gago ay tinapik pa ang balikat ko.
Tss. After they uplifted my confidence, they dropped me in the hell hole down just like that.
Nice friends. Really.
Are they insinuating that Savannah would be my downfall? NO FUCKING WAY!
We ended up sleeping in Samuel's pad. Sa amin kasi ay siya ang may pinakamalapit na bahay. Gumamit na lang kami ng isang sasakyan dahil delikado kung magco-convoy pa kami. Lalo na motor (big bike) lamang ang gamit ko.
Somehow, with what they've said to me, my curiosity regarding her identity is bothering me. Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to know if what would be her role in our relationship. I tend to consider the possibilities that she's a threat. I have no idea about her character but knowing my dad, he would choose a person who's as atrocious as him. I must be very careful.
