Pagkababa ko ng stage ay agad akong nilapitan ni Lily na mukhang tuwang-tuwa sa napanood niya. Kung hindi niya lang ako nilapitan ay malamang tumakbo na ako.
"Is this the competition you mentioned earlier?", tanong niya. "Congratulations. I enjoyed your performance, it felt real", dagdag pa niya.
"He..he..he.. Yes, thank you", wala naman akong kuto pero napapakamot ako ng ulo. Actually, hindi ito yung dapat sasalihan ko. Nasa kabila yung sasalihan ko dapat which is the street dance competition. Ewan ko kung paano nagkaroon nun dito.
"Violet, right? Haha-- your performance was quite haha-- original. May I ask if you have experienced it? It felt like it was based on real-life experience", lumapit na sila Gabriel at Noah.
Kung hindi lang siya yung crown prince, nasapak ko na ito. "Huh? No, I haven't experience it myself". Wala pa kaya akong nagiging boyfriend, even in my past life.
"By the way, what happened earlier? You suddenly got separated from us", Lily.
"Oh, I got carried away by the crowd and ended up here", sagot ko nalang.
"What are you going to do next?", tanong ni Gabriel.
"I think I'm gonna go home", I already shared one of my hidden talents. Bukas nalang ako makikipag-breakdance. "Really?", mukhang nalungkot si Lily na uuwi na ako. Well, your date with Gabriel shall continue without me.
"Well, it's been long a night. I'm afraid my father will scold me if I stay longer", palusot ko.
"Aww. I hope I can see you again", sabay yakap saakin ni Lily. Na-weirduhan pa ako dahil ang higpit ng pagkaka-akap niya.
"Well, I'm sure we'll meet soon", nagba-bye an ako sakanila at nagpunta sa parentahan ng mga carriage. "Mister, to the Glyn estate", sabi ko sa chauffer.
Nakauwi naman ako ng matiwasay kaya lang ay bigla along ipinatawag sa office ni papa.
==============
Napanood din pala ni papa yung acting ko kagabi. He's making a secret rounds on our food carts last night nang napadaan daw siya doon sa acting competition. Napanood niya yung pagwawala ko.
Kesyo buti raw walang nakakilala saakin. Huwag ko na raw gagawin sa susunod. Kung gusto ko raw magwala, dito ko nalang daw gawin. Kaya naman sa 5th day or last day ng banquet ay hindi na ako pinayagan lumabas.
Better luck next time. Next year na lang ako sasali sa dance competition. For sure, doon ako magwawala.
Humiga na muna ako sa higaan ko at gumulong-gulong. So bored.
"Violet, does when Lady Iris will come?", biglang pasok ni Cyan na mukhang hulas. Papasok nalnag bigla, hindi man lang kumatok.
