JOHNNY's POV
Sobrang ingay at halo-halo ang amoy ng alak, sigarilyo at pabango. I couldn't care less dahil sanay na sanay na ako. Naghiyawan sila nang tumutok ang spotlight sa stage.
Dumating naman ang order naming drinks at wala silang sinayang na oras. Isang lagok ni Clavin sa tequila ay paniguradong hapon na naman sila gigising bukas.
"Everyone! Are you ready for tonight?"
Dumungaw kami sa railings. Isang lingon ko sa kanan ay may naglalampungan. This place is wild!
"Anyway, here's what you've been waiting for! Since the festival has begun..."
The host talked about incoming performances and dates. It seems that this place always has a big crowd. Maya-maya, nagsimula na ang performances. It was a distinct night and I got excited dahil nagbabago ang mga performances.
Kinabahan ako nang makita kong mga nakamaskara ang sunod na sasayaw.
Shit!
This is exactly how I saw her for the first time.
"Dude, what's your plan?"
Yuta was so lost as he watch the stage. People are cheering and going wild.
"I don't know..." I said.
Tumango siya. "Do what you want. So you won't regret again."
As soon as the music changes, people become louder. Pero mas malakas ang tibok ng puso ko. Parang lalabas na sa dibdib ko.
A woman with a slender body is now sitting on the table. Wearing a lion costume, she slowly dance in a jazz music.
Interesting...
I thought it was a peaceful performance but the music changes after a few seconds. She then agressively removed the outfit revealing her body.
Naghiyawan ang mga tao.
Tinitigan ko ang katawan niya at napamura ako. Kahit malayo, nakilala ko ang paru-parong tattoo sa braso niya.
She was just wearing a red lacy bralette and a piece of cloth down there. Hindi niya pa tinatanggal ang maskara ay sumisikip na ang dibdib ko.
Nagbago ulit ang tugtog at mas maging agresibo ang sayaw niya. Dinig ko ang sari-saring mura at papuri.
I recognize those body art.
Tumalikod siya at bumalandra ang malaking pakpak na tattoo sa likod. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang una kong pupunain.
Tasyo didn't told me a thing. Not even a single detail.
Ito na ba siya ngayon?
Kumuyom ang kamay ko at hindi ko maiwasang tumawa ng pilit.
At this point, I'm so close to giving up. I feel like I can never reach her. She's way too far now.
Fuck.
You are so unfair. You are so out of my league. Should I just go home and ignore my peace of mind? Kasi pinapanuod pa lang kita, nanghihina na ako! Anong gagawin ko?
Hindi ko mabilang ang tattoo niya pero malakas ang kutob ko.
Napapikit ako sa kabang nararamdaman.
Pagdilat ko, hinubad niya ang ulo ng lion. Sumabog ang mahaba, kulot at pula niyang buhok.
Ngumiti siya bago hinagis iyon.
The moment my eyes drifted on her, I knew it was a person with a body work of art.
