"Do you have a reservation Ma'am?"

I'm here at Texas Roadhouse in BGC . May unexpected get together kami ng mga friends ko from Highschool.

"Yes under the name of Ms. Pelotin, Nashira" the crew took a while to check if meron ba talagang name na ganon sa reservation list nila.

"This way po ma'am" I gave him a small smile and he lead me the way.

Bawat tapak ng heels ko sa floor  makes a strong sound that makes people turn their heads towards me. I'm wearing a sexy silk tailored hazy gold dress that length is above my knees. On my right leg, it has a tiny slit and I paired it with my black stilettos. I let down my natural wavy hair and put some sexy but minimal make-up on my face.

I saw some of my highschool friends waving their hands, so i gave them a small smile while walking towards them.

"Oh my freaking ghad Hara! You're so beautiful! Iyan ba ang bunga ng Europe? You look so different. We can't recognized you kanina." Shela says, she one of the talkative person I now way back in our Highschool days. Lagi siyang napapatayo dahil kahit saan siya ilagay madaldal pa rin.

"I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you Shela, and by the way where's the one who planned this unexpected get together?"

We're eight here at the table and ang expected na darating ay twelve. Actually lahat ng nasa table na ito ay mga kaibigan ko noon,  but I used to cut them off for some reasons.

"Nashira and Kace are on their way na daw, nasa group chat ka na ba Hara?" I suddenly get frozen because of that, but after realizing the question of Shela, I instantly return to my senses.

"Not yet but there's no need, I don't usually check my messages at messenger." She just nodded and talk to our other friends.

A few minutes past and some of our friends are already arrived, ang hinihintay na lang ay sila Nashira. I excused myself for a moment kase feeling ko nahuhulas na ang make up ko.

While I'm heading to the powder room I saw my best friend and his fiancee at the reservation area. I just smile and continue to walk. Just like before. 

Pagkapasok ko sa loob tiningnan ko ang  mukha ko and I saw a small smile and a sad pair of eyes. It's been 5 year na rin pala. After kong magretouch huminga muna ako ng malalim bago lumabas.
