"happy birthday princess!" bungad na sigaw saakin ni kuya na ikinagulat ko, pero napangiti din agad bago lumapit sakanya at niyakap s'ya ng mahigpit at gano'n din s'ya
"you don't go to work for this?" nakangiting tanong ko sakanya bago bumitaw sa mga yakap n'ya
"I already finished my work for your special day Princess, that's why I've been busy these days, and I promise you, didn't I? That I'll make it up to you?" nakangiting saad n'ya na mas kininalapad ng ngiti ko bago ulit s'ya niyakap
"thankyou kuya!" I exclaim
"my pleasure Princess" nakangiting saad n'ya
"halika na? I'll give you your present later" I nodded excitedly before we step out in his condo"kuya my friends are coming" nakangiting saad ko habang nag lalakad kami
"sure, ill ready everything for you" saad n'ya bago ako inakbayan
"susundoin kita mamaya, at dederitso tayo sa bahay dahil nando'n na daw si mommy" mas lalo naman akong napangiti dahil sa sinabi n'ya
"does your friends know where's our house?""yup! I already informed them 1 week ahead" masiglang saad ko na ikinangiti n'ya naman
"good to know" he simply said
We are now at kuya's car when I decided to open my IG account, and I smiled from the greetings that I got from my old friends in Mindanao, I thank every one of them. Napakunot ang noo ko ng makita ko ang conversation namin ni Cloud
cloud_the_ulap mention you in their story
It's say here that it is exactly 12:00 AM when he posted his story. My heart skip a bit because of that, I bit my lower lip before tapping his profile to view his story
It's a picture of me in the cinema! Side profile ko lang ang kita doon at ang hawak kong isang bucket ng french fries!
"Happy sweet sixteen Reina, baka pwedeng pa follow back naman d'yan" it's his caption! Damn it!
I bit my lower lip to stop my self from smiling dahil baka makita ni kuya!
itsaretha
"Sweet sixteen, seriously? Okay then, thanks!"
I reply at his story before turning off my phone, baka ano pang masabi n'ya na ikinagiti ko at baka mapansin pa ni kuya.
Nang maka rating kami sa gate ng NHU ay nag paalam na agad ako kay kuya bago pumasok sa loob school. And when I reach our building and step inside our room si Sage agad ang sumalubong saakin at ang maganda n'yang ngiti
"Happy birthday bebegurl!" masiglang saad n'ya bago ako niyakap ng mahigpit, natawa naman ako bago s'ya niyakap pabalik
"Thankyou Sage!" I exclaim
"Happy birthday pareng Arena!" Sigaw ni Bryle mula sa likod na ikinatawa ko na naman
"Happy birthday mads!" sigaw din ni Kenji na mas lalo kong ikinatawa, nag pasalamat naman ako sa kanila bago umupo sa silya pag katapos mag pasalamat sa iba pang classmates na bumati saakin
"Happy birthday Are" gulat akong napaharap kay Annalise nang dahil sa tinawag n'ya saakin, ngumiti ako sakanya bago s'ya niyakap, naramdaman ko naman ang pag balik n'ya ng yakap kaya mas napangiti ako
"Thankyou mads" natatawang saad ko na ikinatawa n'ya din ng mahina
"Happy birthday Aretha Analiya!" gulat akong napalingon sa pintoan nang dahil sa sumigaw, at napangiti agad ako ng makita ko ang magagandang mukha ni Ziara at ni Celine!
"Thankyou so much you guys!" masiglang saad ko habang lumalakad papalapit sa kanila na nasa gilid ng pintoan
"imbitado ba ako? inaya lang ako netong batiin ka daw kasi birthday mo" nakangiting tanong ni Ziara bago inakbayan si Celine, I didn't know they're friends
