"Here's to the additional year!" We raised our glasses and bumped them to each other.
"Happy birthday, Krishianna and Kheiro!" napatingin kaming lahat sa bagong dating, it's Amy and Ard. Agad namin silang inasar, tumayo naman ang kambal para batiin ang dalawa.
Today is Krish and Kheiro's birthday. They decided to celebrate it in their restaurant at kumpleto kami rito. Even some of their friends are here.
"Ang pogi-pogi mo, Kheiro! Kailan ka magkakajowa ulit?" Kali asked, sipping on her strawberry shake. Agad na sumimangot si Kheiro, for some reasons ay napatingin ako kay Kia na katabi ko.
Kia is the one who initiated the huge fight. She gave Kheiro reasons to break up with Lav. At hanggang ngayon ay palaisipan pa rin asa akin kung ano ang rason o mga rason na 'yon.
"Why are you staring at me?" masungit na tanong ni Kia. Umiling lang ako at napaiwas ng tingin.
"Ang ganda kasi ng shade ng lip gloss mo." I reasoned out. I just heard her loud sigh.
"Oh, 'di sa 'yo na." I was surprised when she put something in my hand. Nanlalaki ang mga mata kong napatingin doon. It is a lip gloss, mula sa packaging obvious na agad na mamahalin. Tapos nakita ko pa yung brand kaya nanlaki ang mga mata ko lalo.
"Hindi, I was just admiring it, Kia. Bagay kasi sa 'yo, eh." Sabi ko at ibabalik sana ang lip gloss sa kanya pero tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.
"Don't you want it?" she asked. Umayos ako ng upo at tinitigan ang lip gloss. Red Velvet ang shade noon at aaminin kong sobrang ganda niya. Tapos bumagay pa sa fair complexion ni Kia. "Regalo ko na sa 'yo. Belated happy birthday." She rolled her eyes. Hindi ko naman alam kung tatawa ba ako o ano sa kanya.
"T-Thank you, pero sa February pa birthday ko." mahinang sabi ko.
"Edi advance," napailing na lang ako at natawa. "Why don't you try the lip gloss? I know it will look good on you."
"Huh?"
"Tss," kinuha niya yung lip gloss mula sa kamay ko at binuksan 'yon. She even took my hand and wiped the applicator there to try it. Ngumisi siya nang makita ang result kaya siya na mismo ang naglagay sa labi ko ng lip gloss. "Spread it." She commanded so I obeyed. Then she smiled again. "I'll admit, you're pretty. I just think you should put on some minimal makeup in order to highlight it more." Nagulat ako nang kinuha ni Kia ang pouch niya.
"Ano ba 'yan, Kianna?" saway sa kanya ni Nash.
"Shut up!" she rolled her eyes.
"Kia, hindi pa ata tapos kumain si Shanice." Ard said. He's looking at me concernedly.
"Ah, hindi. I am already done." I answered. Hinila na lang ako ni Kia papunta sa isang couch malayo sa kanila. Since kami-kami lang naman ang narito sa restaurant nila Tita Shanty.
"Is your boyfriend coming?" Gulat kong tiningnan si Kia na iniipit ang buhok ko.
"Wala naman akong boyfriend." Sagot ko. Umirap lang siya.
"Tss, si Blaze." Sabi niya kaya naliwanagan ako.
"Hindi ko pa siya boyfriend, Kia." Natatawang sabi ko. "I think he's coming, Krish invited him." tumango siya at nagsimula akong lagyan ng foundation. Mukhang mahilig sa makeup si Kia at ako ang ginagawa niyang model ngayon.
Maya-maya pa ay nakiusyoso na rin si Kali at Krish sa amin. Amazed na amazed sila kay Kia.
"It seems like Kia likes you, Shanice." Kali said.
