Lumipas pa ang halos dalawang oras, natapos na ang lahat sa pagluluto at paggayak ng kung ano-ano. Marami na rin naikwento sa akin si Alyssa tungkol sa trabaho niya sa Quezon City. Hindi rin daw kasi sila madalas umuwi ng Bohol kaya kapag ganitong nagkikita-kita ang marami sa kanila, nagkakaroon ng ganitong celebration na parang reunion.
Nang tuluyan nang dumilim, nagsimula na rin ang inuman session nila habang may malakas na tugtog. Nobody had a proper dinner since sobrang dami namang pulutan. They encouraged everyone to just eat the foods while drinking and so, everyone did.
Kasama ko sa table sina Alyssa, Queen and her boyfriend Loki at siyempre, itong katabi ko na si Gray. Binigyan niya ako ng mga niluto nila kaninang inihaw na manok.
"Eat first, Summer. You're not going to taste any alcoholic drinks unless you eat."
Napabuntonghininga na lang ako habang pinakikinggan ko ang pang-aasar ng tatlong kasama namin.
"You're not that sweet to me, baby," nagtatampong sabi ni Queen.
Loki laughed and then he kissed her instead.
"What am I doing here, anyway? Fifth wheeling???"
She jokingly rolled her eyes before standing up and went to the other table since she said she couldn't stand being alone in a table full of couples. Napapailing na lang ako habang kinakain ang inihaw na manok na nasa plate ko.
Ilang sandali pa, dumating na rin si Hugo.
"Hey, everyone! I'm back!" sabi nito sa tono ng pang-aasar. "Iniwan ako ni Ruth and Gray! I got lost!"
"Wow, you sounded like a tourist, huh?" sagot ni Pau.
Hindi niya ito pinansin. Lumapit siya sa amin at hinila ang upuan na kaninang inuupuan ni Alyssa, saka doon naupo . . . sa tabi ko.
Fuck, I am—once again—in the middle of two flaming balls!
"Doon ka nga, bawal ka dito," sabi ni Grayson dito.
Hugo chuckled. "Wala akong nakitang sign na bawal, Gray." He smirked as he took a chicken leg with his bare hands and ate it.
Wala nang pumansin pa sa pang-aasar ni Hugo pero mukhang ako na ang maaasar dahil ako talaga ang trip niya! Busog na ako! I want to drink too! Everyone here's already drinking but these two idiots kept on feeding me!
"Tama na sabi, busog na ako," irita kong sabi.
Grayson took the plate in front of me. "Let me eat this." He turned to Hugo. "Thanks, Hugo!"
Hugo laughed at what Grayson did. Tumayo na lang ako at iniwan sila para maghugas ng kamay since we all ate barehanded. Masarap nga namang kumain ng gano'n nang nakakamay lang. Naghanap din ako sa kusina ng cold water since I really ate too much. I need a very cold glass of water.
