Exihibit

Ng mag sabado ay kabado ako. I'm sure the media will cover it, naroon ang mga  beterang architect at paintor.

Susunod lang si Thorn at may meeting pa daw siya. He promised to come. Ang kasama ko ngayong gabi ay si Jainie.

"Beb, part your lips."saad niya at nilapit sa akin ang lipstick.

Sumunod ako. Pumikit ako nang lagyan niya ng powder ang aking mukha. I'm wearing a spaghetti straps deep V neck sleeves ruched bodycon fitted cami mini dress. Pinanatili kong nakalugay ang aking buhok at kinulot ito.

Sabay kaming lumabas ni Jainie at agad nagtungo sa hall. May nakasalubong pang kakilala. I only smiled at them.

"Dalhia?"

Nahinto ako sa pag lalakad ng marinig ang pamilyar na tinig. Nilingon ko ito at nakita so Dominic. His smile went wide and he walk towards me to give a hug.

I hug him back.

"Wow. You look very stunning."

I smiled. "Thank you. You look good too." I said and my gaze turn to Jainie. "By the way you remember Jainie?"

Nilingon niya si Jainie at agad tumango. Nakipag kamay siya.

"You have your work displayed here.?"

"Yes, and we are ruining late so we'll go ahead... "

"Sure, I'll see you later."

Kumaway ako at tinalikuran na siya.

"It's Dalhia Salazar." Saad ng isang report ng pumasok na ako.

Isa siya sa mga nag cover ng mga exihibit ko noon. Lumapit siya sa akin at nag beso sa akin.

"It's been, awhile... This is the first exihibit you did after five years?"

"Yup, but I joined a painting contest last month, didn't you hear..."

"Nope, cause if I did I would immediately covered you in a magazine... "

"Oscar, this is my best friend, my future sister in law..."

"Oh, his marrying, Kier?"

I laughed. "No his marrying my other cousin, Calix."

Namilog ang mata niya. She has been crushing on my cousin for years. Sinesetup ko nga sila but Calix is to upright and snobbish but dispite that Osmar still likes my asshole cousin.

Nasa bakuna na kami ng venue nakita ko na ang ibat ibang paintings. Nagtungo kami sa akin agad kong nakita si Dom tinitiganan ang mga painting ko.

"Anong gusto mo?"tanong ko.

Tinuro niya ang una. Ito yung inulit na painting ko noong babae sa contest. I look at my five painting and stared at the last one. It was a silhouette of a man wearing an army suit.

"Good choice."I mumbled.

Iilang oras na rin ang nagdaan at marami na ang napapa daan sa aking pwesto. Mom and dad went they greet me before going to their colleagues.

Nagtungo ako kay architect Abelle.

"Architect," tawag pansin ko dito.

Numiti siya at nagbeso sa akin.

"Dalhia, long time no see...your dad?"

"Nasa palibot lang po,  it's an honor to be here with you."

Nabaling ang atensyon niya ng may kamamusta na mga bussines man.

"Mr. Mercado this is Dalhia Lilian Salazar, Edmund Salazar daughter... She painted the canvas you bought. "
