Sigh.

I turned my phone off as soon as the call ended and put it back inside my pearl-beaded handbag. I blew a small breath that flew my curtain bangs. I started to fix my things while contemplating what should I do next, I recalled what my assistant have told me over the phone. Kaya nga siya yung pinadala ko dun sa event na pinagcateran nang restaurant namin so she could represent in my behalf. Pero mukhang hindi talaga tumatanggap nang hindi yung Dean namin at gusto talaga ako ang makita.

Without other choices, I stood up and fixed myself. I mean alam ko naman sa sarili ko na hindi ako pupunta. But I still needed to be ready incase hindi talaga mapaki- usapan yung Dean namin na hindi ako makakapunta. I took a deep breath while looking at the full-length mirror in front of me. I was dressed in a satin hot red lace-up backless, puff sleeves bodycon dress and paired it with Christian Louboutin silver strapped pump heels.

Contented with how I look, I left my office. Natraffic pa ako on my way to the venue. And my friends keep on bombarding me with questions kung nasaan na ako at kung pupunta pa ba ako. Kung sasabihin ko bang ayokong pumunta hahayaan nila ako? I ignored their messages and calls hanggang sa makarating ako sa event hall. Nang makapark na ako pinatay ko na yung makina ng sasakyan ko at tinignan ulit yung mukha ko sa rearview mirror. Sighing, I cheered myself and stepped out of my car. Typing in my phone to inform my assistant and friends that I already arrived- I locked my car and walked confidently towards the crowd of people.

I know I could slay this night like I always do. It's not like I didn't see them- him ever since everything that we've been through, kaya koto!! When I finally arrived at the entrance of the function hall I was stopped by a familiar voice calling my name behind me. I was about to ignore her at papasok na sana sa event hall para mapuntahan yung mga kaibigan at staff ko na kanina pa naghihintay sa akin when a petite girl in green velvet dress hopped in front of me. Mira.

Sa lahat talaga nang taong makakasalamuha ko si Mira yung una ko talagang makikita. It's been eight years since the last time that I go here. Eight years, and still I'm not totally over with this place. I'm still not comfortable to be with the people who witnessed my stupidity. Ang lugar na naging saksi nang masasaya at malulungkot na parte nang buhay ko. Mira cheerfully hugged me that made me halt out of surprise. Nang kumawala na siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin she was smiling widely making me smile awkwardly.
