Faked Attachment (Syclups #4)

45

Annie's POV

       "At nakikita naman natin ngayon, oo, kung gaano kagwapo itong birthday celebrant natin. Manang mana sa papa oh!"

Natawa bigla si Stell sa sinabi ng MC habang panay lang ang palakpak nung apat.

"Mana sa akin!" biglang sigaw ni Justin na ikinatawa ko. Mga loko loko, kahit na sobrang daming business men dito na malalaki ang pangalan again panay pa rin ang laro nila. Sabagay, ang Santos, De Dios, Nase, Ajero, at Suson ay hindi rin nagpapahuli sa larangan ng pagne-negosyo. Pero sa kanilang lima, si Josh lang ata ang napilitang maging tagapagmana.

"Aba syempre naman!" sagot naman ng MC na patagong ikinatawa ni Josh na nasa stage rin ngayon.

Nagsimula na ang party, at hindi iyon katulad ng mga parties na nadalohan ko. Hindi ito tahimik, or formal. Para nga siyang kid's party, hindi lang dahil mapagbiro ang nakuha nila master ceremony, kundi dahil din andito ang mga Syclups na pinangungunahan ng mga baliw na si Stell at Jah.

It's just pity that we're not on the same table anymore, my dad is here and i need to accompany him on his table.

I stare at Josh who's currently standing straight in front of everyone with a dashing smirk on his face.

He look so special today, i mean...he's too handsome.

He only wears charcoal tshirt with a black slacks plus his...i mean, their legendary Syclups necklace, but he's totally dashing. Maybe it was because of the make up, but his appearance is really strong and charismatic. His hair is pushed back with few strands flying with a single peirce on his right ear.

He's holding a glass of wine on his left hand while the other one was on his pocket.

"Now, let's invite him on the center to express his message for all of us, kung may espesyal mang tao dito na kailangan niyang banggitin, 'di ba? Josh, larga!"
Anunsyo ng MC bago marahang hinila sa gitna ang tatawa-tawang si Josh at ibinigay sa kanya ang mic.

"Hala, espesyal na tao daw oh.." banggit agad ni Justin. Narinig ko iyon kahit nasa kabilang mesa dahil wala pa namang nagsasalita sa mikropono.

"Alien ka, kaya hindi ikaw iyon" wika bigla ni Paulo na ikinatawa ko sa loob loob ko. What a snap, Pau.

"Uh.." Josh started to test the mic.
"Hello everyone, good evening.." he said.

"I'm sorry, but i am no match of our MC's energy today so.." he said and laughed gently, everyone did actually.

"Okay lang, basta wag kang mag-straight english. Dudugoin ilong ko" sabi na naman ni Stell na obviously naririnig ng lahat, kahit si dad na natawa bigla sa tabi ko.

"Yeah, and i think our food can't shut you up" pabirong sabi din ni Josh gamit ang mic na ikinatawa ng Syclups.

At ayon na nga..Syclups is treating this event as a casual meeting kahit na ang daming outsiders na nakadalo, gosh. Their bonding is beyond my imagination. Napahawak nalang ako sa noo ko at napailing iling.

"Anyway, let's go back to the topic. He said, i shall give my message to a special persons... And of course i will"

"Unang una sa lahat, to my parents, to my loving parents. Kung wala sila, syempre wala din ako dito.." umpisa niya kaya naging tahimik na ang lahat para pakinggan ang mga sasabihin niya.
