CHAPTER FIVE

Deity’s POV

“Deity! Deity!”

What the heck?! Natutulog ang tao eh nanggigising pa!

“Deity! Ano ba?! Gumising ka na diyan! Seven o’clock na!” Mom shouted.

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon. Seven o’clock na?! Oh my God! Eight o’clock ang engagement party ko! Kailangan ko ng mag-prepare!

Tumingin ako kay Mommy. “Mom! Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?”

“I have been waking you up for too many times. Pero hindi ka nagigising!”

God! Mamaya na ang engagement party ko! I hurriedly get up from my bed and went to the CR. Nagmadali akong naligo. In just ten minutes, I’m finally done. Pinatawag ko na kay Mommy yung mag-aayos sa akin. Actually, pupunta pa sana kong salon para doon magpa-ayos. Pero syempre wala na kong time kaya dito na lang ako aayusan.

Minutes later, everything is okay. Ayos na ang mukha ko pati na rin ang suot ko. Tumingin ako sa wristwatch ko; 7:45 PM. Teka, bakit wala pa si Tyron? Ang sabi ko sa kanya, before 8 o’clock, dapat nandito na siya. Gumagayak pa rin kaya yun hanggang ngayon?

Lumabas ako ng kwarto at naabutan ko si Mommy sa sala. “Mommy? Wala pa ba sina Tyron?”

“Wala pa, anak. Maybe, they’re on the way,” sagot ni Mommy.

“Siguro nga.”

Lumabas ako and I noticed that visitors were started to pour in. Dumating na yung mga kapatid ni Daddy pati na rin yung mga kapatid ni Mommy.

I come back to my room. Then all of a sudden, someone knocked at my room’s door.

“Bukas yan,” I mumbled.

I saw Patch entered. “Hello, Deity.”

Wow ha? She looks stunning tonight. Talagang nagpaganda.

I flashed a smile. “Ang aga mo ha.”

“Of course. Where’s Tyron nga pala? Wala pa ba?”

I nodded. “Siguro papunta na yun.”

Fifteen minutes had passed by, yet Tyron is still out of sight. My God! 8 o’clock na! Where the hell on earth is he? Pati ang mga parents niya wala pa rin. Ugh!

I grabbed my phone and dialled his phone number. “The number you have dialled is unreachable as of the moment. Please leave a message after the beep.”

Ugh! Nasaan kaya siya? Bakit unreachable siya?

Biglang pumasok si Mommy. “Deity, where’s Tyron? Eight o’clock na and the party should start now!”

“I don’t know, Mom. Tinatawagan ko siya pero unreachable ang phone niya,” sagot ko.

“Baka naman na-traffic?” singit ni Patch.

Traffic? My gosh! Hindi naman siguro ganun katagal ang traffic. One more thing, puwede naman sigurong mag-LRT na lang instead of car, right? Kapag car kasi, naku, talagang matatagalan siya lalo na pag traffic nga.

“I’ll go ahead. Try calling Tyron. Aasikasuhin ko muna ang mga bisita. Nakakahiya na sa kanila.” Then Mom stormed out of my room.

I sighed. Tyron, nasaan ka na ba?

Tinawagan ko ulit siya but damn, he’s still unreachable. Napasilip ako sa bintana ng kwarto ko; marami na ngang tao. Nasaan na ba kasi sila Tyron? To tell everybody the truth, I’m fucking worried about him. Baka naman naaksidente na sila sa daan? O baka naman... Ugh! Ayokong mag-isip ng negative!
