Hindi ko mapigilang ngumiti. Everything makes sense. Kaya maaga kaming umuwi ay dahil may nag-aabang pala sa akin. Ang kaninang galit na nararamdaman ko ay tuluyang nag laho at napalitan ng saya.
I mean when I say I don't like surprises. It leaves me with awkward and tense feelings and gives me an intense urge to run away from it but what I felt today is the opposite, there's no awkward and Intense feeling. I don't want to run away, Instead, I want to stay. I love how it doesn't put me in jeopardy.
"T-thank you..." I whispered but enough for the wind to bring to every ear that is here.
Mabibilang lang ang mga taong naririto. The only present here is the significant people in my life. My family and Ramuro family, best friends, churchmates, and my man.
Some of these people judge me without reading my side of the story but I won't mind, as long as they believe in me again. Napatawad ko na sila.
Umupo ako sa engrandeng upuan na nakahanda para sa akin. Reni and Shaira went to the table next to my family's table while Yves smiled at me and went to the emcee area.
"A memorable debut celebration is every girl's dream... because it is only once in a lifetime. Girls can only experience this kind of celebration in just a day but the feels and memories will stay throughout their lives. Kaya nagtataka ako, bakit ayaw ng kapatid ko?"
Mahinang nagtawanan ang iba ngunit tahimik at seryoso lang si Tatay.
"We thought, baka ayaw lang n'ya talaga. She just doesn't want to celebrate her birthday and who are we to dictate her to enjoy her day?" she sighed, "But then, we realized... My sister deserves a memorable and a happy birthday celebration."
My family was silent, waiting for what my sister will say.
Sa totoo lang ay kinakabahan ako, she might spill out words that could make my family worry. O baka may sabihin siyang ikakaiyak ko naman.
Yves' eyes darted at me, "This woman has been through a lot. Nakatanggap siya ng mga salitang maaaring nakasanhi ng pag-iyak n'ya tuwing madilim ang paligid, yet we never heard a word from her... She never spoke about what she feels while we freely speak out our thoughts about her, not minding if we could break her heart."
I saw my mother wipe her cheeks. I looked away, it hurts to see her cry. Tumingin ako sa iisang lalaki katabi sa table ng aking mga kaibigan. He flashes a worried smile when our eyes met.
"Are you fine?" he mouthed.
Tipid akong ngumiti at tumango.
"Walang iyakang magaganap for today's video!"
Unti unting natawa ang mga manonood dahil sa sinabi ni Yves and I thanked her for breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"We should be happy for our strong lady is celebrating with us!"
They sang a happy birthday song for me that I really enjoyed. I never imagined that hearing a happy birthday song could make my heart jump out of ecstasy.
I am like a 7-year-old kid, enjoying her simple birthday celebration and I don't mind acting like a 7 years old kid. Kung ganito naman kasaya ang pakiramdam na umaktong maging bata ulit, walang problema. I am happy.
"Let's have the debutant's girl best friend to give her a special message."
My mouth awed. May ganito pa pala? I'm so innocent with this!
Shai kissed my cheeks before getting the microphone.
"Uhm, I'm not really good with words," she awkwardly uttered, "But for you, I'll try to speak my heart and mind."
