It feels surreal.
The butterflies in my stomach is a manifestation of how kinikilig I am right now.
Totoo na 'to, diba? Wala ng pipigil? Gosh!
"Huy parang tanga, nangiti mag isa."
"Aray naman!"
"Eh ba't ka kasi ngumingiti mag isa jan?"
I jokingly rolled my eyes to Melissa and look at everyone who's happily drinking and singing.
Masama bang ngumiti kasi sa wakas makaka punta na akong Paris?
Today, our neighbors arranged a despedida party for me. Sa pangunguna ni Melissa syempre.
Noong una kong na kwento sa kanila, gulat na gulat din sila gaya ko. Some are even shock about my status in life. That's why I did everything to make them realize na eto na 'yung estado ng buhay ko ngayon.
I am not the Calla Amorett four years ago. I changed, and so does my status in all aspect.
I'm not an elite, but I can survived. I'm a mother already, but enjoying life as a single one.
"Mamimiss ko 'to," I murmur while smiling at the people around us.
Sobra-sobra ko 'tong mamimiss. 'Yung simpleng buhay dito sa tenement 'yung humubog sa akin ng buo. It teaches me lessons no school can give.
It simply molds me to smoothly face adulthood. From the simple chores to the problems that needs immediate decisions.
At lahat, lahat ng tinuro ng lugar na 'to sa akin, lahat 'yun babaunin ko saang panig man ako ng mundo mapadpad.
"Mars, makakabalik ka pa naman. Tsaka high tech na ngayon 'no! Isang click click lang makikita na natin isa't-isa." Melissa said before sipping her glass of liquor.
"Alam ko naman 'yun. Kaya lang iba talaga 'yung pag labas mo ng pinto, chismis agad bubungad sa 'yo. O kaya naman tawa ng mama mo."
Sabay kaming natawa sa sinabi ko. At ang gaga, talagang nang hahampas pa!
"Mangako ka sa akin!"
I curiously look at her when we suddenly forced me to raise my right hand, looking like I am pledging.
"Ano namang ipapangako ko? Oo na mag iingat ako 'ron!"
She rolled he eyes and cringe.
"Hindi 'yon, assuming ampota!"
"So ano pala?"
Melissa smiled sweetly and tuck her hair behind her ears. Nag pa bebe pa.
