STAY 5

I AM patiently waiting for his text. Altair Jenon Cyrus, my boyfriend. 

Bakasyon na at Senior High na kami next school year kaya sinasamantala na namin ang pagiging stress-free.

Unfortunately, his grandma passed away kaya kinakailangan nilang pumunta sa ibang lugar, and luck is not with us because the government declared to implement the enhance community quarantine or ECQ because of the pandemic at huli ko siyang nakita noong March pa and its already July! 

Sinabi niya rin saakin na magiging busy siya at gabi na makaka-text saakin. Pero ipinangako niya naman na mag-ttext siya saakin kung maka-tyempo kaya kahit papaano’y panatag ako. 

While waiting for him, I decided to open my gallery and the first photo that caught my attention was the photo of us wearing our attire for our JS promenade. I was wearing a sapphire blue cocktail dress and it has a beautiful sequins that hugged my body perfectly. I partnered it with my 3 inches’ sandals and my hair was in messy bun defining my cheekbones more. He was wearing a black tuxedo and his tie was also sapphire blue to match mine and he really looked like a man with principles while wearing his eyeglasses. Its true though. We were sitting so close at each other and we both know how we enjoyed that moment.

Nakaupo lang kami dahil sa kasamaang palad ay sumakit ang paa ko dahil sa napakataas na takong na aking suot. He stayed with me the whole night and I appreciated it. That time, I felt guilty because I felt that I was stopping him to enjoy with his friends because of my condition however, he still stayed beside me.

So, while the other students are partying and enjoying, we were sitting at the corner while comfortably conversing, eating bread rolls, and his hands intertwined to mine. 

And since I was in my “JS PROM” album, I stumbled in to another memorable photo. The situations rather. It was a photo of me, Dems, and Aviya, smiling sweetly. Pero hindi ko maisip kung bakit nakapikit si Dems at kung nasaang lupalop ang pag-iisip niya. But I admit. We’re cute. I’m much cuter though.

Natawa ako ng maalala ko ang sitwasyon naming tatlo sa mismong JS. We were in our 4th year high school at that time by the way. 

Before the prom, me and Aviya were annoying Dems to the core para sumama sa prom because knowing her and her KJ attitude, hindi siya sasama at matutulog lang sa bahay nila kahit sinasabi ng mga guro na may plus points daw. Kaya kinulit namin siya ng kinulit para sumama and luckily, we succeeded.

Kaso, sa sobrang kamalasan ni Dems ay trinangkaso siya sa mismong araw ng JS and she didn’t have a chance to back out dahil naka make-up na’t lahat lahat. But, we made her take a medicine.

Pero hindi ko alam kung nakanino ang malas dahil while the program is still going, and us students were sitting comfortably on the chairs—that the school had provided under the sun—ay biglang umulan ng pagkalakas lakas. 

Akala ko mga mag ex lang pwedeng mag comeback pero noong mga panahon na iyon, trangkaso ni Dems ang nag comeback. Making her shiver non-stop because she was wearing an off-shoulder dress and for the first time of our life, hindi siya dumaldal ng dumaldal. Trangkaso lang pala makakapagpatahimik sa kanya.

Not just that. Aviya also has her own experience. Nagka-pulikat lang naman siya at ilang beses kamuntik-muntikang madapa dahil sa 4-inches niyang takong. To sum it up, lahat kami malas. Mine was sweet though at si Dems ang pinaka malas. She was traumatized. Muntik nang hindi mag-attend sa party noong college kami but of course, something unexpected happened.
