Kamusta

Nakasuot ng croptop t-shirt, leggings at rubber shoes, nagsimula akong sumayaw. The music is hard and swaggy. Sinabayan ko iyon habang ngumingisi sa camera.

Sinayaw ko ang moves na ako mismo ang gumawa. Masaya ang music at sigurado akong mapapasayaw ang kung sino man ang makakapanood nito.

When I finished, I wiped the sweat off my neck and forehead. I picked up the camera and checked kung maayos ba ang naging pagsasayaw ko. As expected, maayos at naging maganda naman ang pagsasayaw ko.

I put the camera aside and sat on the floor. Tinignan ko ang cellphone ko at nakitang may text roon sina Savannah at Javier.

Savannah:

Hey! Are you free later? Maya wants to go to the bar. She invites us. I will come. Are you coming?

Javier:

Savannah and Maya wants to go to the bar. Are you coming?

Amora to Savannah:

Sure. Which bar?

Amora to Javier:

Yup. How about you?

Javier:

Yup. You will come so I will come too.

I smirked at that.

Sinabi ni Savannah kung saang bar kami pupunta. Pumayag na ako ng tuluyan.

I didn't reply to them and just changed my clothes in the bathroom. Nang matapos sa pag aayos, I turned off the lights of my dance studio and went out. Nakita ko agad ang sundo kong van kaya agad na akong nagpunta roon.

"A donde vamos, señorita?" My driver asked.

Where are we going, Miss?

"Vamos a casa," I said.

Let's go home.

The driver nodded and started driving. I looked at my watch and sighed. It's still early. I'm tired of dancing so I'll rest first before going to the bar. I crossed my arms and looked outside.

Our house is not far from here kaya sandali lang ang byahe. Naabutan ko si Mama sa sala, watching tv. Lumapit ako sa kanya at hinalikan sya sa pisngi.

"Mmm? Kamusta? Ipopost mo na yung bago mong sayaw? Nakapag video ka na?" Mama asked.

I nodded and sat beside her. "Ipopost ko na bukas. Excited na ako," nakangiti kong sinabi.

I looked at what she was watching and saw that it was a drama again. Napiling ako at tumayo na.

"Magpapahinga na muna po ako. Tsaka may lakad po pala ako mamaya," I said.

"Mmm? Saan?"

"Sa bar. Nag aaya sina Savannah at Maya."

Nanliit ang mga mata nya. "Bar?"

I know Mama doesn't want me to go to the bars. Hindi nga naman safe ang mga bar pero mag iingat naman ako.

"Saglit lang naman ako, Ma. Tsaka kasama ko naman sina Savannah at Maya kaya wag na kayong mag alala. Please?"

She sighed and nodded. "Sige na nga. Basta uuwi ka ng maaga. Darating ang Papa mo ngayon. Kailangan mong sumabay sa hapunan."

I nodded and kissed her on the cheek again. I said goodbye and went to my room upstairs. Nagpahinga ako sandali at naligo pagkatapos. Umupo ako sa kama at sinandal ang likod sa headboard ng matapos maligo. Pinanood ko ulit ang vinideo kong sayaw kanina.
