Pre-New Year update. :* Mamaya magu-update ako sa mismong Mega Noche. :)
Taura
Why is it so difficult to understand na I will never be like my cousin?
Nicca calling...
"Oh?" I answered her call. I was fixing my hair.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Fixing my hair. Why'd you call me?" I asked her.
"Are you going somewhere? I'm just gonna ask you something."
"You're already asking. Are you kidding me?" Sabi ko sa kanya. She laughed at me.
"How did it went?" Tanong niya.
"It was fine. She was asking for my favor so I also asked her a favor. Kaliwaan lang, beh." Sabi ko sa kanya. "And yes, I'm going somewhere. Kwentuhan na lang kita later kasi I have a date coming up." Dagdag ko.
"With who?" Tanong niya. "I never thought you'd date again."
"Not that kind of date. Family date."
"Wow. I'm happy for you. Is this a big dinner for the whole Delacroix clan?"
"It's more of a party. Kauuwi lang nung isa naming pinsan na lumaki sa Australia. See how they appreciate her a lot?" Sabi ko. "Hindi ako makapag-ayos. Bye na." I dropped the call and went to my closet.
Onti lang damit ko. Hindi nga kasi kami ganon ka-yaman. Pumili lang ako ng tank top na blue at shorts na white. I kept my make up simple para kahit papaano, magmukha naman akong good girl.
Bumaba ako at nakita ko sila mama at papa and they're getting ready. May sasakyan naman kami. Pero kotse lang. Buntis pa lang si mama. Oo ngayon lang ako masusundan.
"Halika na. Kanina pa sila naghihintay doon. Tayo na lang ata ang wala." Sabi ni Papa while Mama is fixing his polo. Wow sparks.
Kinuha ko ang phone ko at tanging yun lang ang dala ko.
Pagkadating dun, lahat naguusap na. Mukhang kami na nga lang talaga ang hinihintay. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako uupo or kanino ako tatabi kaya I just went inside the kitchen. Nandito nga pala kami sa bahay nila tita na galing ng Australia.
Sa gulat ko, nandito rin pala si Moira and she's filling her cup with water.
"Hi Taura. I'm not expecting you here." Sabi niya sakin. Aminin man o hindi, maganda talaga siya. Maganda lahi namin eh.
"Neither do I." Sabi ko sabay labas ng phone ko. No, I'm not going to take a selfie. Magttweet lang ako on how this get together sucks.
"Taura, can we atleast show Xoera na we have a nice relationship? Ayokong malaman niya na may gap sa atin. Ayokong may kakampihan siya sa atin." Sabi ni Moira.
"Sure, madali akong kausap. Wait... is Xoera still black? Hahaha." I asked her.
"Hmm, pumuti na naman siya hahaha. Grabe ka." Sabi niya sakin. We both laughed. After ilang seconds, naging awkward na ulit so we decided to head back to the dining room.
Moira smiled at me and I tried to flash a smile on her. And then I searched for Xoera. Hindi ko na siya maalala. Hindi naman kasi kami gaanong close kahit nung bata pa siya.
"Hi ate Taura!!! You are beautiful talaga." Sabi ng isang dalaga sa akin. This must be her. Chaka naman nito pero I just smiled at her.
Well, whatever.
