Chasing After You

Chapter 6

I'm in the mall with Kuya Caleb right after Kuya Liam go ay umalis narin kami para mamili ng gamit and my purpose is to give him a gift.

"Kuya, do you have gift for Kuya Liam already?" I asked him not knowing what to give to him. Hindi ko naman alam ang mga gusto niya.

"Yes a used socks." I was shocked with what he said. "Kuya!" Pagsaway ko sa kaniya.

"Kidding a new one."

"Why socks?" Nagtatakang tanong ko. "To pissed him." Lokong sabi ni Kuya Caleb. They're friends kaya pwede niyang ibigay rito ang mga ganon but me we're not even friends to begin with he's just my acquaintance kaya hindi ko alam ang ibibigay kong regalo sa kaniya.

"Just give him watch you're fine." Napanguso ako sa sinabi niya. "But what if he doesn't like it? He doesn't even like being around me." Nagrereklamo sabi ko nangiti si Kuya at umiling sa sinabi ko. "If only you know."

"Ang alin?" Nagtatakang tanong ko.

"That he likes watch." Tumango ako sa sinabi niya.

Kumain kami sa foodcourt and after we bought some needs at the grocery at dumiretso naman kami sa bilihan ng relo I ended up giving what Kuya said to me I bought the rolex one.

"This look nice right? Will he love it?" Tanong ko kay Kuya at ipinakita ang relo. "He will don't worry." Ibinalik ko ito sa box at naglakad na kami palabas sa mall.

"Parker's will be there right?" I asked habang nagmamaneho siya tumango siya saakin tinutukoy ko ang pamilya ni Valery. "Navarro?" Umiling si Kuya. "Not a chance." Tinanong ko kung bakit ngunit hindi na niya ako sinagot.

Pagkauwi namin ay pumasok ako sa kwarto ko at binalot ang regalo ko sa kaniya kumuha rin ako ng card and I put a note in it.

'This is give my gift for you, hope you like it. Enjoy your day!'

- Tiffany.

Tumayo ako at pumasok sa dressing room I choose a long dress of mine. I ended up choosing the dress with full of sequence in it. Its silver coated dress and sleeveless style sinukat ko muna iyon to make sure it suits me tsaka ko ito ibinalik sa lagayan kumuha na rin ako ng silver hills ko perfectly fit for my toes and the dress I'm going to wear. Naghanap na rin ako ng perfect head accessories I choose the rhinestone flower with leaves look design.

Tinignan ko ang nails ko and it doesn't look really good if it's plain kinuha ko ang nail kit ko and I started painting it with minimalist gray color and put some glitters on top.

Kinuha ko ang phone ko and look at my Instagram account nagnotif saakin ang paglike ni Elias sa post ko at pati si Valery ay nilike ito. Maya-maya pa ay tumatawag na siya saakin I knew it.

"Oh my! Who give the flowers? Is it Elias? Huh?" Excited na boses niya sa telepono ko. "Yes-" I didn't get to finish my sentence. "Im so proud of you!" Kinikilig na sabi niya nangingiti-ngiti naman ako sa reaksyon niya.

"Oh my gash! We're going to have a double date."

"Not yet. Hindi pa kami."

"Doon din ang punta nun Ms. Monteleon."

"You're invited to Kuya Liam's Birthday Party." Pag-iiba ko sa topic namin. "Uh-huh mawawala ba naman ang mga Parker sa ganon no." I know that.

"Kumusta ang date with Jerome?" Pag-uusisa ko sa Anniversary nila kahapon.

"He was the best Tiffany! Grabe ang kilig ko kahapon. Pumunta kami sa Restaurant and he give me a promise ring." Napakagat labi ako sa sinabi niya kahit ako ay kinilig I could feel her emotion. "Im happy for you Valery. Jerome really loves you."
