I saw a hoe in her little red dress na may sinusuksok na papel sa bulsa ng jacket ng nalintikan kong boyfriend.
~MIKA
I felt blood rushing through my system. Literal na naramdaman kong lahat ng dugo ko ay umakyat sa ulo ko.
This is a different feeling. I kept on reminding myself that Kiefer is different from the guys that I know. He is miles different from papa and my ate's ex boyfriend.
Hindi ko alam kung praning lang ba talaga ako o takot sa sarili kong multo.
I was thinkging of not minding what I saw and told myself to just let it go. Pero hindi pwede e. Hindi ko ito kailangang palampasin. Mabuti nang alam ko kung ano ang nangyayare habang maaga pa lang at hindi pa ako lubog na lubog sa nararamdaman ko para sa kanya.
I sprinted from where I was to where Kiefer is standing, talking to the girl in a, i must say, cute and revealing little red dress.
I can feel every nerve in my system pulsating, the dash which only took seconds felt like hours.
I didn't know how to start the conversation with them.
I can't think of something sensible to say.
So I offered my hand to the girl who I am now face to face with.
I smiled my sweetest smile kahit na nagngangalit na ang mga ngipin ko sa bwisit.
Kiefer was by my side. Nakangiti lang din sa akin kahit na halatang tensyonado.
"Hi, I'm Mika." Tumingin ako kay Kiefer na ngayon ay katabi ko na. "Friend ni Kiefer."
She took my hand and shook it. "Hi Mika. Of course I know you. You are Kiefer's girlfriend diba? Sandali lang ha. My girlfriends are calling me na eh. Nice to meet you by the way." Tumalikod na siya sa amin nang hindi manlang nagpapaalam kay Kiefer.
Nakakaloko itong dalawang ito ah. Kanina lang grabe ang ngitian tapos ngayo parang hindi magkakilala bigla?
Nakakatawa pa na alam niya palang girlfriend ako nitong lalaking ito pero nakikipagharutan pa din siya.
Pagka alis na pagka alis niya, hinarap ko si Ravena at tinaasan ko ng kilay. I was waiting for him to explain nang may magsalita sa likod ko.
"Paps, ano na? Nakuha mo ba yung number?"
Bigla akong napatingin sa likod ko.
Si Pauly pala itong nagsalita. Mukhang ginamit pa na sangkalan ang Ravena ko.
Kinuha ni Kiefer ang papel sa jacket niya at agad agad itong inabot kay Pauly.
