God Make It Happen

CHAPTER 1

As I roam my eyes on the surroundings, all I can say is it is WILD.

People are wild. Ambiance is wild. Music is wild. Lights are wild. The whole place is literally wild.

I never imagined myself coming or even visiting this kind of place. But in just a snap, I'm now here.

"I can't hear you!" I loudly say to Jea, my blockmate who is saying something I can't understand.

"Sabi ko, wag kang lalayo samin baka mawala ka. Andami palang tao ngayon kasi Valentines" she leaned closer to my ears then almost shouting all the words just for me to hear it.

I nod at her and just ignore the surroundings until we reach the table Mark reserved for all of us.

Basically, we're all 7 right now at the table. 5 of us are interns in a food industry, and the remaining 2 are employees of the industry who became our friends. 

Today is valentines day, maybe that's why there's a lot of people partying here tonight in this bar. As Mark said, this is the famous nightclub here in Ilocos Norte that's why he brought us here.

It is the last day of our internship and as a reward, they all decided to go partying tonight and they didn't even let me protest. 

Jea and the other people in the table except me are already starting to get hyped. They were shouting and going along with the music while starting to drink while here I am, just watching them.

"Hey, try some. Ngayon lang naman 'to" biglang alok sakin ni Charisse sa isang bote ng alak kaya agad akong umiling iling.

"No no no, not gonna drink any of that" sabi ko sa kanya with finality sa tone para hindi na ulit siya mangulit sa akin.

"Nakakakonsensya naman tong si Rei, anghel na anghel ang dating oh" sabi ni Jea habang umaakting na tinatabi ang alak niya.

"Sa outfit pa lang, angel na angel na talaga" sabay halakhak ni David, ang palaging bumubully sakin since the first day we work in their company.

"You guys shut up, just drink and let me have my peace here" saway ko sa kanila para tantanan na nila ako.

Eh kung iniwan nalang talaga nila ako, edi sana naayos ko na yung mga nakakalat kong mga gamit sa hotel. 

At anong mali ba sa suot ko? I'm wearing a knee length white dress paired with a denim jacket and white sneakers. It's way decent than the other girl's outfits here in this club who seems wearing nothing already. Even Jea, Charisse, Rose and Kara are wearing revealing clothes.

"Waiter! Give that lady a juice nga" tawag ni David sa atensyon ng waiter tapos tinuro ako.

Mabuti naman alam nilang nauuhaw din ako.

The waiter gave me a blueberry lemonade so I thanked him and he smiled at me.

"Thank me too, i'm the one paying that" biglang sabi ni David sakin na nasa harapan ko lang

"Ayieee, dumadamoves na!" sigaw ni Jea.

Naging laman na kami ni David ng tuksuhan until the same waiter approaches me again and smiles widely at me.

"Excuse me po ma'am, may nagpapabigay po sa inyo" then he handed me a piece of magnum ice cream.

Napakunot ang noo ko sa binibigay niya. A magnum? Here in a club?

I've never seen someone eating ice cream in a movie while in a club. So why is he giving me an ice cream now?

"Sino po nagpapabigay?" Nagtataka kong tanong, even my friends on the table are curious as well.

"Bawal pong sabihin eh" nagdadalawang isip niyang sagot.

Does that someone know that ice cream is my favorite? Cause if he did, I would thank him. But it was impossible, I didn't know anyone here aside from this people around the table.

"Kung sino man po siya, tell him thank you po. I appreciate it" sabi ko nalang at tinanggap ang binibigay niya.

Agad kong tiningnan ang mga kaibigan kong nakatingin din sakin na may mga nagtataka at nang-iinis na mukha.

"Wow may napahulog na po ang ating anghel oh" pang-aasar ni Jea na tinawanan ko lang

"Sana all magnum in a bar" sabi naman ni Rose

"Dapat kinulit mo si kuyang waiter sa name, baka yun na si Mr. Right Reiiii" kinikilig naman na sambit ni Charisse

Tumatawa lang ako sa mga pang-aasar nila kasi it's actually really weird na makatanggap ng ice cream in a club. Kahit first time ko sa ganitong lugar, hindi naman ako ganun ka inosente sa mga kaganapan dito dahil narin sa mga pinapanood kong mga movies. Kaya kung iisiping kakain ako ng ice cream sa club, that would really be weird.

Itinabi ko nalang ang ice cream at sumali na sa kwentuhan nila. Tawa kami ng tawa dahil sa mga fail moment namin during internship. Tapos nag si-share naman sina David at Mark ng mga nakakatawang nangyari dati sa company at sa mga empleyado kaya halos maubusan na kami ng hangin kakatawa.

Halos umubo ubo na ako sa kakatawa ng bigla na namang lumapit sa amin si kuyang waiter at naglahad naman ngayon ng isang basong tubig.

"May nagpapabigay po ulit" yung ngiti ni kuya, sobrang lawak na kabaliktaran naman ng sakin.

"Sino po ba talaga ang nagpapabigay? Just tell me the name po or ituro niyo sakin kung sino para makapagpasalamat ako" sabi ko sa kanya na may pagtataka na talaga sa expression ko

Tahimik naman ang mga kasama ko na alam kong nakikinig lang samin.

"Sandro po ang pangalan niya, siya po ang DJ ngayong gabi" sabi nito sakin bago nilapag ang tubig sa tapat ko at umalis.

Agad akong napalinga sa paligid at hinanap kung saan andoon ang mga DJ, and there I saw a babyface guy smiling at me before focusing on the mixer again.

At that night, the answer came.
