"Rese, nasan na?" tanong ko kay Rese pertaining to the guy he's dating.
"Wait ka lang pwede? papunta na daw" sagot niya sa'kin.
"Tagal naman kase bes" dagdag ni Luna.
Yes. Today is Friday. Ngayon ipapakilala ni Rese ang boyfriend niya. Himala at nagseryoso halatang tinamaan talaga.
Napalingon kami nang nakarinig kami ng busina ng sasakyan. Paglingon namin ay nakita ko ang isang Ferrari SF90 Spider. Cool isa 'to sa mga new models ng Ferrari.
Alam ko na kung bakit nagustuhan ni Rese.
Napailing ako at tumawa.
"Hoy gaga ba't ka tumatawa?" tanong ni Rese.
"Gaga ka rin, alam ko na kase kung bakit mo nagustuhan" sagot ko.
Inirapan niya ako at sinalubong ang kanyang jowa.
Infairness ha may taste.
"Guys meet Nicolai Garcia, my boyfriend" sabi ni Rese habang tinuturo si Nicolai.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Avrielle and this is Luna" sabi ko sabay turo kay Luna.
"Nice to finally meet you" he said then smiled.
"What school are you from ba?" tanong ni Luna.
"Oh, i'm from Enderun Colleges" he answered.
"So you took up Business Administration?" I asked.
"Yes, 1st year college ako" he answered.
"That's cool" Luna said.
"So anong nakita mo kay Rese?" tanong ko pa.
He chuckled.
"You know, she's fun to be with and ang sarap niyang asarin" he answered.
"Hoy kapal ng mukha mo! eh kung sapakin kaya kita?" singit ni Rese.
"And syempre amazona" Nicolai added.
Humagalpak naman kami sa tawa ni Luna.
"Tara na nga Nicolai!" singit ni Rese.
"Kj mo ngayon ah, takot ka lang anong sabihin namin eh" pang aasar ni Luna.
She rolled her eyes and pulled Nicolai.
"Bahala ka, Nicolai let's go na gutom na ako" Rese said.
Tumango naman si Nicolai at nagpaalam.
"Bye guys, it was nice to meet you. See you around" he said.
Kumaway naman kami ni Luna at tinignan silang paalis.
Matapos ang ilang sandali ay naaninag ko ang sasakyan na paparating. It was Luke and he's with Lukas.
"Bes, nandito na pala sundo natin" sabi ko.
"Yeah, right himala na pumayag kang sunduin ka" sabi niya.
Tumawa lang ako at binalik ang tingin sa sasakyan.
"Hey love, let's go" tawag ni Luke kay Luna.
"Bye bes see you tomorrow" Luna said then hugged me.
"Bye, see you!" I said.
Kumaway naman si Luke kaya tinanguan ko siya.
"Let's go Avi" Lukas said from behind.
Lumingon ako at sinalubong siya.
"Aight. Let's go" I said.
Habang bumabyahe biglang nagsalita si Lukas.
"Avi, 7pm kita susunduin bukas ha" he said.
"Okay Lukas" I said.
"By the way, I want to ask you about something" I added.
"About what Avi? is it bad?" he asked.
"Kase the other day, they asked me kung tayo na ba daw, I told them na hindi kase hindi ka pa naman nanliligaw" sabi ko.
"I mean gusto ko lang tanungin kung nanliligaw ka na ba?" I added.
He chuckled.
"I thought you'll notice na nanliligaw na ako. But since napag usapan naman na natin, I want to formally ask you na nanliligaw na ako" he said.
Awww my heart.
He stopped the car beside the road and looked at me.
"Avrielle Maxine Gonzales, can I court you?" he asked wholeheartedly.
"Ofcourse Lukas" I said then smiled.
My heart is full. Yes i'm inlove.
He hugged me and kissed my forehead.
"Thank you Avi, you made me happy" he said.
"What more kapag sinagot mo na ako, siguro magpapa party ako" he added then chuckled.
He held my hand while talking while i'm just staring at the masterpiece in front of me.
Mas lalo lang lumaki ang kagustuhan kong umalis sa organization.
Mabilis na ang naging byahe namin pauwi. Lumabas ako ng sasakyan at nagpaalam.
"See you tomorrow night Avi" he said.
"See you Lukas" I smiled.
-
I was wearing a black chiffon midi dress partnered with a black faux suede ankle heels. I put on light makeup and tied my hair.
Lukas told me that he's on his way here. I decided to wait downstairs.
"Sweetie, you look gorgeous" mom said from behind.
"Really 'mmy?" I asked.
"Of course. San ba punta mo?" she asked.
"Ah yes, sorry I forgot to tell you. Lukas' mom invited me and Luna to their family dinner" I answered.
"Is it okay? the last time we talked about them was months ago" she said.
"It's okay now mom. Things are going well with me and Lukas. I'm sorry sa reaction ko back then" I said.
"Don't worry about it, I understand" she said then hugged me.
The doorbell rang so Yaya Mae opened the door. A handsome man appear. Yes, my Lukas.
"Good evening tita" he said to my mom.
"Good evening Lukas" mom said the smiled.
He shift his gaze to me and froze.
"You look beautiful tonight, Avi" he said.
Gago alam ko naman. Charot.
"Bolero mo talaga" sabi ko sabay palo sakanya.
"Tita can I take Avi with me?" he asked.
"Of course. Please take care of her" she answered.
"Syempre tita" he smiled.
"Mom I can take care of myself naman" sabi ko.
"I know sweetie" she said then let us go.
Pagkapasok ko sa sasakyan ay mabilis na pinaandar ni Lukas ang sasakyan.
"Avi, pwede bang wag na tayong pumunta sa bahay? date nalang tayo" sabi niya kaya hinampas ko siya.
"Gago, mga iniisip mo talaga Lukas" sabay iling ko.
"But you're gorgeous tonight Avi" he said then smiled at me.
"I know Lukas, I know that very well" sagot ko naman.
Agad siyang sumimangot.
"Hangin mo talaga minsan" sabi niya.
Tumawa nalang ako at tumahimik.
When we arrived her mom welcomed me along with her dad.
"Hello hija, i'm so glad that you accepted my invitation" tita Avery said.
"It was a pleasure to be invited here tita" I said.
"By the way hija you look pretty in that dress" she added.
"Thank you tita, you're so pretty din po" I smiled.
"Let's go inside na, Luke and Luna is waiting there" tito said.
We nodded and followed him.
