×•× Blair's Point Of View

-- 3:38 pm --

It's been an hour since I got home

Earlier, I went to the bakeshop to get the cake I reserved, oreo flavored cake with three layers

Actually, paborito namin ni Dad ito, and for like my entire life, ganitong flavor talaga ang gusto ko

I was now in the Dining Table, kumakain ng mga instant na hinanda ko kaninang umaga lalo na yung cake,

As the Living Room was filled with pop music, habang kanina pa naka-on ang TV dahil nanoud ako ng Netflix

The house is very loud, at ramdam ko na solong-solo ko ang bahay

So just incase na may dadating, they have to ring the doorbell, kasi hindi ko talaga marinig kapag nandito ako sa loub

I check the time, and it is 3:40 pm, tinignan ko nalang din yung mga litrato'ng kuha ko kanina kasama Munchus

I called him as I was in the café after I got the cake I ordered

We went to different parks na malapit lang, like it's been hours na siya yung kasama ko, kasi hindi niya gusto na nag-iisa ako mamasyal

Like, going into somewhere, most of the time may kasama ako

Halos, medyo nagagalit siya sakin kanina kasi bakit nag-iisa na naman ako sa bahay, as my family is in Japan at hindi niya rin ako masamahan kasi mag New Year siya kasama yung family niya, so I didn't ask him to stay, masaya nga ako'ng naka-uwi na muna siya sa family niya.

As we were at the nearest park habang binibilhan niya ako ng bracelets, sout ko yung binigay niya na locket necklace

That really brought me to Zumra's image in my mind

" ..... Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone... "

"... I keep waiting, for you but you never come..."

Hindi ko nalang namalayan na ' Love Story ' na pala ang tugtug ng speaker sa living room

I just let out a sigh...

On the table, I grab the black envelope that thery gave me, as I open it with my sudden doubts

" Rosen Hideaway..."

Halos paulit-ulit ko ng binuksan 'tong envelope, and this hesitations is also coming back everytime I thought about this

Sa totoo lang, I only have 2 hours, to prepare

At who knows?

Pwede naman na hindi na ako susulpot, since I wanna spend this New Year Eve with myself

Like...

All of my life, I spend every moment with everybody else, when I realize I am slowly losing pieces of my self

So I chose this time..

Pero pag hindi ako susulpot...

At pagdadating naman din ako..

Okay!

Hinablot ko na yung cellphone as lamesa nang diritso ko ng tinawagan si Munchus

Yes, I wanna meet him again!

Why is there something that's holding me back?...

" Blair? How are you now? "

Agad ng sinagot yung video call ko, kaya dali-dali na ako'ng lumipat sa living room at agad ko na ding binawas-bawasan ang volume sa speaker

Inilagay ko na agad sa lamesa yung phone as it was leaning on the little vase on the table

" Munchus!... Are you busy?" I ask with my little bit tiring voice as I sit on the couch infront of it

" No... So what are you doing recently?" tanong niya habang nasa loub ng kwarto siya at naka-upo sa higaan

" Munchus, I just -- uhm.. I wanna ask you some quick questions, and I hope you won't tell my Mom, Dad and Elijah nor Cliffly about this, okayyy?"

My secrets aren't always that locked, because when he knew that it is really good to tell my parents about it, he will!

And the prize of keeping a secret, Mom's scold for the First runner up secret keeper named Blair!

" And what is this now all about? "

" Well.... I just have this feelings and questions that got into my mind right now..."

" Okay? Go on"

But before I start, hindi ko kinalimutang giminhawa at baka may ma spilled ako'ng hindi talaga dapat sabihin

Knowng the ' Dark World Age ', met Zumra and all of them, became a vampire with a seduct*ve scenarios, halos lahat! Hindi talaga dapat nila malaman yun!

So I ease my mind as I am about to proceed

" If someone was asked to meet this person AGAIN!---And that someone was hesitated because of the person's doubts-- though that --- let's just say that the girl was asked by a boy -- Though that she still love him but there's something that was holding her back......What should I do?.."

Nag-iisip na muna siya na parang ang lalaim ng iniisip, habang naka pouting lips lang ako with my arms crossed

" Wait! Did you say ' What should I do? ' ?"

Ay!...

" No! I said, ' What should she do ' ?"

Ngumiti na ako ng malawak ng naka-taas kilay siya sa akin na mukhang hindi talaga naniniwala

" I heard it correctly Blair, don't lie.." He said like I was really caught literally lying

Tumawa nalang ako at hindi na ako nagsalita kung na misheard ba niya o narinig niya talaga

" I know you Blair, and I notice you that you seem feeling bothered a little..."

I just nod a little with my eyes trying to look away

" Well, whoever made you such a feeling like that, I think...."

" You should follow your heart"

I suddenly stopped after he said it

Why didn't I think about that? For once..

" So... I think that's the answer that you've been looking for?"

I just smile at him with my eyes looking like I am now certain

" Thank you for everything, Munchus "

" You're welcome!--- But I am going to ask you about that man of yours.."

His voice is like warning me, so I just nod with my lip bite as I was trying to hid in the bush

I hope he won't remember this...

" Well, I don't know --- I think I have to -- uhm-- something, bye!"

He just wave bye with his smile, before he hang up the call

After we talked, I feel eased with my heart

It's 4:00 pm when I checked my phone for the lat time

I think....

I am finally certain

I quickly stood up as I hurriedly turn off the TV and the Speaker, dali-dali kong kinuha ang envelope at sinara ko na ang pinto Dining Hall ng pagkalabas ko

I only have ONE HOUR!

AND YES! Pupunta talaga ako!

Halos tumakbo na ako patungo sa itaas papunta sa aking kwarto para magbihis

I hope I won't be late, or never!
