Nayeli
She suddenly turned around when her friends Piper and Barbie arrived. Among them is Takoyama.
"Happy Birthday, Ayeng!" bati ni Piper sa kanya saka ito yumakap.
"Thank you" she said without enthusiasm.
"What kind of face is that, why carry the world on your birthday?"
"Hindi kasi makakapunta si Zayd, may trabaho raw siya. Hello, it's my birthday" she sulked.
"What? It's your special day."
"Exactly. He said he'll catch up if his meeting ends early, pero kapag hindi, he says we'll just celebrate my birthday tomorrow. Magcelebrate siyang mag-isa" she grumpily uttered.
"Huwag ka ng malungkot, we're here. Barbie and I bought a cake for you."
"I baked this" Barbie said while giving her the cake.
"Talaga? Wala naman tayong oven sa apartment echosera ka rin" she commented even though she was about to cry.
"Hahaha nahuli mo ako don. Anyway, happy birthday Ayeng."
"Thank you Barbie. Nandito ka rin pala Takoyama."
"Me? Makikikain lang ako."
"Hmp. Don't you even have a present for me?"
"Sa sweldo."
"Tsk. Whatever."
Alam niyang nagbibiro lang ito. He handed the gift to her.
It was fun celebrating her birthday but it will make a big difference if Zayd was there with her.
Nang makauwi ang mga kaibigan nagpaiwan siya. She wants to walk around the square before going home kahit ang totoo hinihintay niya si Zayd. Kaya lang napapaligiran naman siya ng mga magjowa doon, she felt even more sad.
Nayeli sat on a bench. She also played music on her phone. A few moments later, it suddenly started to rain heavy.
Happy Birthday to me, she sighed.
She hurriedly sought shelter. Fortunately, there was a pay phone in the plaza where she took shelter first. Sana umuwi na lang pala siya, kung bakit naman kasi nagpaiwan pa siya naabutan tuloy siya ng ulan.
Later, she saw a man coming, but she couldn't see his face because it was covered by an umbrella. She was startled when he suddenly grabbed her hand. She almost threw a punch. It's Zayd. Gosh!
"I'm sorry, I'm late" he said.
"You really... " the tears she had been holding back started to fall.
"Hey baby, don't cry."
"Paanong hindi ako iiyak eh pakiramdam ko kanina mas importante ang trabaho mo kaysa sa akin. It would be okay if today is just another day but it is my birthday, Zayd."
"Sorry. Anyway, we can still celebrate it."
"Hindi na, let's just go home. Just take me to the apartment."
"Nagtatampo ka ba?"
She didn't answer. He wiped away her tears.
"It's breaking my heart to see you cry, Nayeli" he kissed her forehead.
