Fifty-eight"Welcome home Moon Dashelle!"Hindi pa man kami nakakababa sa eroplano ay halos isiksik ko na ang sarili ko sa kinauupuan ko ng mabasa ang malaking placard na hawak hawak ng mga pinsan ko sa labas nang sumilip ako sa salamin. Nakakuha agad sila ng atensyon. Napatampal na lang ako ng noo. "Ate okay ka lang-." Hindi na niya natuloy ang sasabihin niya ng mapatingin siya sa labas. Namilog ang mga mata niya at tila tuwang-tuwa sa kanyang nakikita. Nag umpisa ng magbabaan ang mga pasahero, while I just stay at my seat unbothered. Pansin ko si Ella na patingin tingin sa akin, nag iisip ata kung magsasalita siya o tatayo. "Tell the pilot that I'll coming back to NY, right now!" I said impatiently as I closed my eyes and massage my temple. Narinig ko lang ang mahina niyang tawa at naramdaman siyang tumayo sa tabi ko. Nanatili pa rin akong nakapikit, iniisip kung paano ako baba sa kabali ng kahihiyang ginagawa ng mga pinsan ko. "Ate, let's go. They're waiting," ani Ella na bah
Fifty-nineHindi ako iniwan ni Ci noong mga panahong pinaka kailangan ko nang tulong. Siya ang naging sandalan ko sa lahat, nagsilbing iyakan ko, takbuhan sa tuwing pakiramdam ko wala akong kakampi at kasama sa lahat ng lungkot at iyak ko. Hindi niya ako iniwan kahit na pinili ko siyang talikuran at iwan noon. He stayed by my side even though I'm hurting him continuously with my presence."Ci, aren't you busy?" basag ko sa katahimikan. Sinulyapan niya lang ako saglit bago muling tinuon ang atensyon sa daan. "I am, but I can buy time for you," he said without breaking off the sweet smile pasted on his face. Nilahad niya ang kamay niya sa akin, nakangiti ko naman itong tinanggap. I intertwined our fingers as I took a quick photo of it. "Can I post this?" He chuckled. I smiled when he kiss my hand. "Yes baby." Akala ko hindi ko na masasagip at mahahanap ang sarili ko, but I'm wrong, because of him I found myself again. Nang makarating ako sa company ay agad sumalubong sa akin an
Sixty."You're so noisy!" I hissed as I throw the pillow to Clay's direction who keep on strumming his electric guitar while filming his self again. Gabing gabi na pero nandito pa rin sila sa unit ko para mambulabog. I want to rest peacefully because I'm too tired for these past few days. They started na to continue the rehabilitation of the gallery, and because of Chaster's not-so-good idea, I'm also at the site monitoring them as they go through. It's so annoying!"Insan, chill. Mag beer ka muna," Micky said as he placed a bucket of beer at the center table. Napapairap akong umupo sa gilid habang pinapanood sila. "Eto pag di pa sila naniwala na ako talaga ang nag i-strum ewan ko na lang," Clay snorted out as he placed his guitar besides him. I don't get them, why do they like to stay here in my place instead of stating at their own places? Like doh? We're just neighbors for petes sake. "Bakit pa kayo bumili ng place niyo here if you keep in staying in my place? What's your frea
Sixty-oneI simpered as I archeed a brow. "Too bad. I ain't your girl, and I ain't wishing to be one."I chuckled when he drink his glass of tequila in one shot and ordered another one. Salubong ang kilay niyang tumingin sa akin. He looks annoyed right now."Are you comfortable wearing like that?" he asked with his brow arched. I chuckled. "I'm more comfortable naked," I said "What? Stop staring as if you're still into me," I mockedDrunk or not, I still have courage to talk ill about him, not because I'm trying to sound rude to him, but because he deserves to be treated like this. I raised a brow at him while he looks frustrated right now. I sip onto my glass of tequila without breaking an eye contact at him. "Don't smile. It disgusts me. You look awfully ewys right now," pagtataray ko. "Why? Did I make your heart flatter?" Why does it sounds like this happened before? Deja vu. "Why did we end up like this? What just happened?" he asked seriously Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa b
Sixty-two "What do you want to talk about?" I asked with my brow furrowed as soon as I saw him sitting comfortably at the couch near the glass window of the restaurant. He smiled and wave his hand when he saw me. I just rolled my eyes. I placed my bag at the table and sat comfortably in front of him with my cross legs and arms. "Let’s eat first," he said instead answering my question. I flipped my hair beautifully with class. He started eating na as soon I sat down while me still busy showing my hates to him."Huwag mo kong masyadong titigan, baka mafall ka ulit sa akin." I chuckled sarcastically as I flipped my hair elegantly. "Excuse me? I'm not staring at you, it just happened that you're in front of me," I stated fiercely, baka isipin niya tinititigan ko talaga siya. "Fall my ass," I added. Doh? There's no hell way I do that. He chuckled as if he was so amaze on what I've said. "I'm just joking you don't need to be guilty." Agad nag salubong ang kilay ko dahil sa sinabi
Sixty-three"Ate," tawag pansin sa akin ni Ella ng dinantay ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya. "I'm so sleepy. The presentation is so boring," I said yawning. My eyes unintentionally closed, because I freakingly am so sleepy. I woke up early in the morning just to hear some boring presentations? O freaking come on. "Just wake me up when it's done," tamad na tamad na turan ko. Kinawit ko ang braso ko sa braso niya para mas maging komportable ako sa paghilig sa kanya. Hindi naman na siya nagreklamo. "Just go back to your hotel room if you're just going to sleep here."Nagpantig ang tenga ko dahil sa narinig ko, at tila nawala ang pagkakaantok ko. Taas kilay kong tinignan ang nagsalita, it's Chaster na nakaupo sa likuran ko, straight face at emotionless lang ang tingin niya sa akin na tumagal ng ilang segundo bago siya nag iwas nang tingin at tinuon ang atensyon sa harapan. "Conceited pathetic idiotic moronic sleazy freaking creature," sambit ko. Muli niya akong nilingon, ngayon ay ma
Sixty-four Last day na namin ngayon, maagang natapos ang convention dahil magkakaroon ng party mamayang gabi. Ella and I just spend our free time sleeping. Chaster is so persistent, he really never failed to annoys me. Ugh. Nagising ako ng tumunog ang phone ko. Half-sleep, I answered the call. "What?" tamad na tamad na tanong ko. Halos hindi ko pa maibukas ang mata ko dahil sa antok. (I love you—) Mas mabilis pa kay flash na inend ko ang call ng marinig ko kung sino ang tumawag. Binato ko sa kung saan ang phone ko. Narinig ko itong tumunog pero hinayaan ko na lang ito.Another way to pester me. He really knows his ways. "Saan ka pupunta, Ate? Akala ko ba hindi ka a-attend sa party?" tanong ni Ella na busy pa rin sa pag aayos niya para sa party. She'll going to attend the party. "Do I need to ask permission or report to you everything I do?" I asked with my brow archedHumaba naman agad ang nguso niya. Kinuha niya ang coat niya na nakapatong sa kama niya at sinuot ito. We hav
Sixty-five"Chaster and I, are dating," she happily announced at the middle of the dinner. Napuno ng tanungan ang hapag kainan habang ako ay patuloy pa ring kumakain. Ramdam ko ang tingin sa akin ng mga pinsan ko pero hindi ko na lang ito pinansin. "What? You and Kuya Chaster are dating?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Ella. "Actually po, I didn't expect din po that he'll asked me out, kasi I'm still rooting him with Dashelle."I sneered. I couldn't stop myself to glare at her. Is she for real? O freaking come on. "Ya. Being hypocrite doesn't have cure," I mocked as I sip onto my wine. "If you really dating him, you freakingly don't need to drag my name out. Halatang nagpapabida ka na naman," dagdag ko. I don't know what's her deal. O freaking come on. So they're dating? Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kutsarang hawak ko. "I'm just saying lang naman," she fake a smile. My brows furrowed. "So? Do I need to care with your relationship?"What's wrong with this bitch? O geez. So she wante
