Fuck!
Ywa mani kalibutana oi, Hindi ko talaga inexpect na sasali siya sa reunion na to.
Akala ko ba ayaw niya sa ganitong mga kaganapan?? I heard he found them tiring and a waste of his time.
"Livan!"
Rinig kong tawag sakin ng dati naming class president. Kumaway naman ako sa kaniya at nakipagyakap ng lumapit siya sakin.
Kakarating ko lang galing college, it was tiring but pinilit ko nalamang dumalo sa reunion. Every once in a while lang din naman toh eh.
It wouldn't hurt to attend one time.
She guided me to my seat at nakipag kamustahan ako sa mga naging katabi ko.
I know most of them so it wasn't really awkward. I only cutted off my communication with a few people.
"Nag start na kayo? Late ba ako?"
Pabiro kong tanong sa kanila. They all just looked at me for a minute.
"Nope, we didn't start yet. May hinihintay pa yung may pakana nito eh" sabay turo ng kaharap ko ss may stage ng venue.
Tiningnan ko naman yung tinuturo niya but i didn't recognize the one standing there. Kaya tumango nalamang ako at napag pasiyahang uminom.
I don't plan on staying long here. May klase pa kase ako bukas, even though it's a saturday.
I kept checking my watch. 40 minutes passed by at di parin nagsisimula yung reunion.
Everyone didn't seem to mind. But i do. It's already 10:40pm for God's sake! Malapit nang mag alas onse and they still haven't started this.
Naiinis na ako kasi kailanga kong umuwi ng maaga. Ywa oi, if it's like this, then buti pa sana at di nalang ako dumalo.
Inexcuse ko sarili ko sa table namin dala dala yung bag ko.
"Aalis kana agad Livan??" tanong ng isa kong katable.
"Papahangin lang saglit" sagot ko sakaniya pangiti.
I really was planning on going home and ditching this shitty reunion. Nakainom na din ako ng marami rami, hindi pa naman nag stastart yung party tapos nalalasing na ako.
"Our main star is here!!"
Biglang nag ingay yung loob ng venue. Pota? Ang timing naman. Kung kailan plano ko nang umuwi ay saka pa sila magsisimula??
May galit ba yung mga tao dun sakin?? Fuck! This is all that late fellow's fault.
Di na ako babalik. Bahala silang magsaya dun!
"Yhael! Come on bro, uuwi kana? Eh kakarating mo lang eh! Party na muna tayo dun, it's our fricking reunion tapos uuwi kalang?"
"You told me it was just a simple get together with some of our close friends from highschool, not a fucking reunion! You know i hate going to stuff like these." a cold baritone voice spoke calmly answering the other person.
The voice sounded irritated and annoyed. But it's somewhat familiar.
Di ko nalang pinansin ang nag aaway na mag jowa at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. I really need to go home right now.
"Huh? Oi Livan!" piskot.
Ywa oi gitawag pajud ta nga kaybawng kaulion na ang taw ba. Bastosa tawhana.
Di na ako huminto kahit narinig ko namang may tumatawag sa akin. I badly want to go home. Di naman kase worth it tong reunion nato eh. Pinahintay pa ako dun ng 40 minutes.
"Naligaw ka ba? Dun papunta yung reunion oh hindi jan" nagulat nalang ako ng biglang may sumulpot sa harap ko sabay turo sa pinanggalingan ko.
"Ah haha tama ka nga, sorry di kase ako magaling sa mga lugar dito eh" mahinhin kong sagot sa kaniya.
Ywa piste tawhana ni teleport sha? Geatay kailangan nalang nako moapil aning reunion bisag di ko ganahan. Lord tabang.
"Tara samahan nalang kita papunta dun. At ikaw-" sabi niya sakin tapos lumingon siya sa kabilang gilid ko.
"Sama kana din Yhael please? Madami kasing namimiss ka" gi ngilohan ko ani tawhana pero nipadayon nlng kog sunod niya.
"You know him man diba Livan?" biglang tanong niya sakin.
Tiningnan ko naman yung lalaking nakasunod sa amin at di ko talaga mamukhaan yung person.
"Ah yes yes" i lied nalang kase mag iingay na naman toh pag 'hindi' sinagot ko.
Bumalik ako sa inupoan ko kanina at mukhang nagulat yung mga nakatabi ko.
"Oh! Kala ko ba umuwi kana??" pabirong sabi ng nakaharap ko kanina.
"Nagpahangin nga lang ako, di ako umuwi" i answered him.
I sat in my seat and started to chatter with the people around me.
Hindi ko talaga inenjoy yung reunion. Most of my close friends didn't attend kase may klase daw sila.
I was about to take my second drink when biglang may tumabi sakin.
Tiningnan ko tong taong toh ngunit di ko talaga mamukhaan, familiar lang.
I proceeded to drink what's in my glass and didn't mind the person sitting next to me.
"Uy Yhael! Bat diyan ka umupo? Dito ka oh. Ang sikip sikip na diyan, mukha na kayong sardinas" sabi nung kaharap ko at bigla namang napuno ng tawa ang table namin.
"I like it here, ayos na ako dito" sagot naman nung katabi ko.
"Livan, right? Kamusta?" he began talking to me.
Nagulat naman ako kase di ko inexpect yun noh.
"Doing great naman. Medyo stress lang sa classes" i smiled at him tapos bumalik ulit ako sa pagkakain.
I don't know him enough for this conversation to continue.
"Wow kalmadong kalmado ah! Livan di mo ba kilala yang katabi mo?" tawang sabi ng kaharap ko.
Lamia batukan aning tawhana oi! Ganiha rajud ni gabula iyang baba ay. Samok kaayo! Mayta masudlan nag langaw iyang ilong ig tug niya oi.
"Yes sorry, I don't know him" seryoso kong sagot and continued to eat.
Pakan a ko ninyog tarong bi. Sige mn mog samok samok sa taw nga gakaon oi.
"Hala! Di ka daw kilala oh Yhael HAAHAHHA"
Gamay nalang jud diba paslakan jud ko ning baba ani niya ug kan on.
"Figures, it's been 5 years" the guy beside me chuckled.
I looked at my watch to check the time. 12:22am. I need to go home.
I stood up and looked around for the host or the class president.
"San ka pupunta?" tanong ng lalakeng katabi ko sabay hila sa sleeves ng polo shirt ko.
I looked at him. Medyo gwapo ang taong toh. And he's really my type. If only his hair was curly.
Curly?
Napa upo ulit ako ng bigla kong maalala kung sino tong tumabi sakin.
Shit shit shit! Bat siya nandito?? Akala ko ba ayaw niya sa mga malalaking parties na ganito?
I kept my head lowered. I'm fucking embarrassed to even lift my head up. Ywa! Why the hell is he here!?
"Livan?" he asked.
"Let her be Yhael, she just remembered you" sabi nung kaharap ko.
This time di ko na pinigilan yung sarili ko and kicked him from below the table.
"Shut your mouth Ain" i glared at him and he just laughed.
"So? Kilala mo na ako?" tanong ni Yhael sa gilid ko.
Fuck lord. Pwede mo na ba akong kunin?
