Chapter 16
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Manuel Cillian Lopez" pinakilala naman ni Mommy si Macoy at nagpalakpakan naman yung mga guests. Bumaba na si Mommy sa stage with the help of my Dad
Tumabi lang ako kay Reid at kinakabahan ako especially when I see Macoy on stage holding his guitar. If Mommy pull some stunt talaga, I swear hindi ko na ulit dadalhin dito ang boyfriend ko
"Good evening po" Macoy said through the microphone, halata sa mukha niya ang kaba at hiya. Puro naman kasi matanda ang mga andito, I don't know what my mother is thinking. Macoy cleared his throat at bigla namang sumigaw si Yael sa gilid ko
"Whoo! Go Mac, best friend ko yan!" saad nito kaya natawa si Atticus at pumalakpak din at nakisabay. Nakita kong nahihiyang napailing si Macoy as he started strumming his guitar
"Imagine a house. Way up on a hill. Dog in the yard. The trees in the fields" napakagat ako sa pang ibabang labi to control kilig when he started singin na rin. Linibot ko ang tingin ko at and the people are enjoying it even Mommy. Maybe she's not really planning something evil
"I can't get you all that stuff. But I can give you all my love. Free love. Free love"
Macoy performed another song, it's make you mine by the public. Hindi familiar sa mga bisita ang mga kantang pinili niya but they enjoyed it. Pagkatapos nun the band which my Mom hired started playing again at bumaba na si Macoy sa stage
"Ang galing, I am so proud of you" salubong ko sakanya sa likuran ng stage
"Thank you, babe" ngisi niya saakin
Pumunta naman kami sa may mga pagkain to get us some food. Kanina pa pala gutom hindi nagsasabi saakin. Pumasok kaming dalawa sa bahay. We went to the kitchen and sit on the island countertop. Magkaharap kaming dalawa habang kumakain
"Grabe 'tong party ng mga mayayaman. Ang daming ganap, para saan pala ito?" kuryoso niyang tanong
"Wala lang, gusto lang talaga ni Mommy mag plan ng party"
Napakunot naman ang noo niya "Gara naman nun. Trip lang pala ni Tita Raquel yun"
Natawa naman ako sakanyang sinabi "She's just bored, wala naman siyang work at she's just here in the house. Tapos kapag sinisipag, sasama sa mga business trip ni Dad"
Tumango tango naman siya at tinaasa ang invitation na natanggap niya
"Wow you received an invitation?" gulat na tanong ko
"Pasado na ba ako sa pamilya mo? Sign na ba 'to?" nakangisi niyang tanong
"Yes! Oh my god, my parents like you! Lalong lalo na si Mommy? Grabe, iba ata talaga ang charms mo"
He boastfully shrugged his shoulders and chuckled softly
"Paano ba yan? Magmumukhang mayabang na ako nito"
I rolled my eyes at him playfully at bumaba sa upuan "I will get us desserts"
"Ako na lods" pag angal niya
"Stay there, you are our guest kaya stay put" tinalikuran ko na siya at kumuha na ng plato sa may gilid ng catering service. Kumuha ako ng cake, brownies and cookies. Sayang walang ice cream, Macoy would love that
Bumalik ako sa may kitchen namin at nakita kong seryosong seryoso siya habang nakaupo. He is folding something kaya napataas ang kilay ko
Linapag ko sa countertop yung plate at naupo na ulit sa harapan niya. Ngumuso naman ako
"What's that?" tanong ko sakanya
He is folding the invitation kasi at hinahati hati ito. Is he making a paper plane?
