Chapter twenty-eight: Masquerade ball 3
Cassian's Point of view
All of them have personal problems na hindi ko alam kung bakit pa nila iniisip.
Pero hindi ko naman sila masisisi kasi maski ako meron ding personal problem. And it is still her. Since she left I've been just holding on to a fucking memory.
Minsan bigla ka nalang pumapasok sa isip ko, kahit pilit kong hindi ka isipin.
Bago ako matulog I would just day dream. Kung saan masaya tayo at natupad lahat ng pinlano natin.
"Dude, okay ka lang? Si Hailey ang topic hindi ikaw kaya wag kang makisama sa drama." Bulong ni Ryota.
"Is something bothering you?" Tanong naman ni Calyx.
"Let me guess, si Ravenna nanaman ang laman n g utak mo noh." Pangaasar ni Ryota at inakbayan ako nung dalawa.
"Tigilan niyo nga ako," inis na singhal ko at tinabig ang pagkaakbay nila saakin.
Nang layuan naman ako nung dalawa. Naalala ko yung babaeng tinawag nilang 'lady' kanina.
Call me weird pero yung scent niya, kay Ravenna yun eh. Pero wala naman si Ravenna sa pinas. Oh baka kalalapag niya lang at diretso casino siya. Is she gambling now? Ganun na ba kababa ang lifestyle niya at kailangan niyang magsugal ng pera?
Umiling ako magisa.
I am overthinking this too much. May nagabot saakin ng champagne at kinuha ko naman yun. I was about drink it when Riley spoked.
"Don't drink it Cassian. Nakita kong may nilagay yung waiter na nagbigay sayo niyan. Don't accept drinks, alam niyo naman na yun."
"Tss." Sabi ko at inilapag ang wine glass sa malapit na lamesa.
"Austin's status?" Tanong ni Kaede.
"Uh.." may narinig akong pagta-type niya. "He is currently speaking to some girls. Flirting rather. Yuck." Natawa kami da reaction ni Riley. Matanda na pero kung umarte malakas maka millennial.
"Bakit ang bagal niyang gumawa ng hakbang? Diba plano niyang nakawan yung lima, at kumuha pa ng recruit?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Maeve.
Austin is Austin. He's still a fucking jerk and a joker. But he's not stupid, for all I know he will make the people around him comfortable.
"Just live the hour, kahit alam niyong manganganib buhay niyo mamaya. Atleast have a little bit of fun. Don't be too hard on yourselves." Sabi ni Riley.
"Yes mom." Biro ni Ryota.
"Hindi porket 29 na ako pwede niyo na akong asarin bilang nanay niyo. Baka wag ko na kayong tulungan at hayaan ko nalang kayo mamatay. Sige ka." Naasar na sabi niya.
We chuckled, "sige mom. Gawin mo yan deretso patay ka naman kay Hendrix." Sabi ni Hailey.
"Please proceed to the dance floor in the middle. And form a circle. While the music is playing, find yourself a partner. We encourage you to come and dance with us." Sabi ng spokesperson.
Lahat naman kami sumunod doon.
"Kayong anim, wag kayo magdikit dikit. Wag kayong magalala di naman mangangabit yang mga jowa niyo." Sabi ni Riley.
Pumunta ako sa right side at sumama sa circle.
The music started playing, at yung mga tao diretso pumunta sa ibang direction para humanap ng makakasayaw. Me? I just stood there, because I don't know how to approach someone.
