MARK's POV
"Didn't know that you have a..." Ngumiti ng nakakaloko si Ten sa akin.
Her naturally long and wavy hair dances as she laugh. She's sitting beside Ian but he went to talk to the old long friends.
"Wag mo batiin, baka maudlot." Singit ni Johnny.
"Oh, please. You have a devil in that mouth of yours." Humalakhak ako.
At baka nga maudlot kaya itigil niyo ang pang-aasar. I want this night to be as smooth as possible.
"Damn it. I think I saw him somewhere..." Tasyo's eyes are gleaming as he stare to Ian's long legs, tan skin, and brown semi curled hair. His waist is thin and his shoulders were broad.
He's still amaze even though they already met before.
"He's not interested in modeling." Nguso ko.
Tumawa sila. "Damn, I was just saying!"
I am aware how he shines. With the perfect portion of his body, I can't deny that you'll definitely notice him among the crowd.
Naiwan kami sa table ni Calvin at Johnny. I glanced at other's table when the party continue its celebration. I greeted a lot of people and did some business queries. With my close friends, we talked about the party. How good the food and decorations were. Not trying to ruin anything good tonight.
Hinanap ko siya sa mga tao at natanaw kong nakikipagtawanan sa mga kaibigan.
"Binata na." Panimula ni Calvin.
"Binahay na." Dugtong ni Johnny.
"Pumayag?" I curse Yuta and his short black hair being the baddass that he is. Gusto ko sanang bawian ng asar kaso baka mabadtrip bigla.
Pinagmumura ko na lang sila kaya napuno ng halakhak ang lamesa namin. "Well, fuck. Guess what? He's my karma too."
As I scan the tables, I can't help but be nervous as well. Si Mom ay nakaupo kasama ang mga designers at ilang kaibigang artista sa kalapit na table. When she stood up, I watch her confidently walk with her glittery fitted dress to the family's table. Mom sat beside Dad. Tita Ance is sitting beside Zal, her daugher next to Vir and Tito Aurus. Tito Arius is talking to his brother beside.
Maybe Mom doesn't stay with them because Tita Esme, Vir's mother is not here. She's the closest to her after all.
"Let's go greet them."
Kabado siyang tumingin sa akin. Hinawakan ko ang mga kamay niya at naramdamang nanlalamig iyon. Kanina pag balik niya dito, nakangiti na siya. Napalitan na ulit iyon ng kaba.
"Are you nervous?" I spat.
"Gusto niyo sumama kami?" Tanong ni Johnny kaya mahina ko siyang sinuntok sa braso. Tumawa naman ng mahina si Ian at parang nabawasan ang kaba sa pagsuporta ng dalawa.
After a few more minutes of convincing him, we stood up.
He look constipated but still damn pretty. He can act very well. Well, he's good at pretending.
I glance in their table. Sakto ang dalawang upuan na iniwan ni Vir at Zal pero hindi muna ako naupo.
Binati ko sila at marespetong ngumiti.
Hinawakan ko si Ian sa siko at isa-isa naman silang tumingin sa kaniya.
"I need you to meet Ian. He's Tita Felicima's son." Panimula ko.
I watched Mom and Dad's reaction intently. In the corner of my eyes, Tito Arius is smiling widely. He was proud of something he did too in the past.
"Nice meeting you here..." Bati niya sa katabi ko.
