"May date kayo ni Ate Allison, 'di ba?" tanong ko dahil nabanggit niya sa akin kagabi na manonood sila ng sine habang hinihintay na matapos ang event ng New Classic. "You should wear something with―you know―color."
Kuya Zedrick raised an eyebrow at me, then pulled out a black plain shirt from his closet. I sighed and shook my head.
"Why bother asking me?" I sarcastically asked him.
After he wore the black shirt, he moved closer to me and gently pinched the bridge of my nose. "Sorry, princess," he told me with a smile on his lips. "I feel like wearing black today."
Sumimangot ako sa kanya. "Kailan mo ba hindi feel magsuot ng black?"
"Hmm..." He acted like he was thinking deeply, while tucking in one side of his shirt on his pants, before wearing a belt. "Whenever I feel like wearing white, I guess..."
Napa-facepalm na lang ako. Natawa siya sa reaksyon ko, halatang natutuwa kasi nabuwisit niya ako.
"Don't be sad. I'm just gonna treat you a nice medium rare steak later," he bribed me with food, then winked.
Tumayo ako mula sa pag-upo sa kanyang kama nang makitang mabilis niyang inaayos ang buhok niya gamit ang pomada. I stared at my brother's reflection on his closet, which has mirror doors. I couldn't deny how he's very good looking. Unfortunately, for other girls, he's already taken. But Ate Allison's very lucky for having him as his boyfriend. Though I had to admit that my brother's also lucky for having Ate Allison as his girlfriend. They complimented each other very well.
"Let's go. Allison's already on her way," pag-aya niya sa akin matapos basahin ang mensahe ni Ate Allison sa kanyang cellphone.
Hindi naman ako nagpatihuli at ako pa ang naunang lumabas ng kanyang kuwarto para makaalis na kami.
There was a slight traffic on the way to the venue, but I managed to arrive with an hour to spare before the start of the event. Sa labas ng concert hall ay mayroong malaking LED board kung saan pinapakita ang music video ng Always at mayroon ding speakers para madinig ang kanta.
I arrived at the part―in the music video―where each of them was holding the hand of the girl behind the camera. The concept of the music video would make you feel like you were spending it with them. It was shot through the point of view of a fan.
May mga iilang fans ang nasa labas ng venue para lamang magkita-kita habang sinasabayan ng kanta ang tumutugtog sa speakers. May nakita akong pumasok sa loob ng concert hall matapos ipakita ang pass at album, kaya naman agad akong tumungo roon at iniwanan na ang aking kapatid.
He just dropped me off, anyway. Nandoon na si Ate Allison sa pagkikitaan nila kaya nagmamadali na rin siya. He didn't want to keep her waiting any longer.
Kahit madami pang oras ay halos tumakbo na ako papasok sa concert hall. Medyo naging matagal ang security sa harapan. They were making sure that the album and pass were really mine. Tiningnan din nila ang laman ng aking backpack bago pinapasok ng tuluyan sa loob, pagkatapos ikabit ang wristband sa aking palapulsuhan at ibigay ang queueing number.
