EYAH'S POV

Ey, let's start over

Ey, let's start over

Ey, let's start over

Here goes in my mind again, struggling to process what I'm hearing. Did Zel really said this in front of all the people here? Or am I just having the greatest and most realistic dream?

"Oh gosh. I never thought that waiting for someone to answer you will be this nerve-wrecking!" Zel exclaimed as she let out a tensed giggle which made the crowd loud.

"Hoy Eyah, ayusin mo isasagot mo dahil si Zella na iyan!"

"Nawalan ata ng dila si Eyah."

"I love you, Zel." It's the only words that I found myself saying. Lalong umingay ang mga students na nandito at syempre nangunguna doon sila Ayah.

"As I love you, my lav."

I wasn't ready planning to let her go yet but then she dragged me to the stage. She took her acoustic guitar and she gave me another mic.

"I don't sing." I whispered

"Nah, I heard you." Zel winked before she faced the crowd.

Nagulat pa ako na makita sila mommy Pryn sa may likod kasama sila Tita Zeki habang may mga ngiti sa labi.

"The more you hate, the more you love!"

~~

I groaned as I heard a series of buzzing from my phone. I didn't bother knowing who's calling because my eyes are still as heavy as heck.

"Ey?"

"Hmm?"

"Eyah!" Ayan nanaman ang galit na boses ni Zel.

"What?" I asked while yawning

"Where the hell are you? It's already past 10 in the morning!"

Oh, naalala ko ngayon ginaganap ang anniversary ng ASU kaya kailangan mag ayos ng booth.

"Papunta na." Nagmadali akong pumunta sa bathroom at naligo.

Ng matapos ay nagbihis ako agad at hindi na nakapagsuklay sa kakamadali ng lumabas ako ng bahay.

But when I went out, it was still dark!

Agad kong tinignan ang orasan sa phone ko at nakita kong 2:30 palang ng madaling araw. 

I immediately dialed Zel's number only to welcomed by a loud laughter.

"Nakakatawa iyon? Ilang oras palang akong natutulog, eh." Napafacepalm nalang ako.

Naprank ako doon!

"That's your punishment for allowing Olivia to kiss you!"

~~

"Change the plan. We will be resorting to the pay for a hug activity kaysa gawin ang horror booth." Sabi ng president namin sa dance club. "Since ikaw ang nakaisip nun, Iris. You'll be the first one to sell your warm hugs. At pipili pa ako and I think Luna, Olivia and Eyah can do the job. Magready na kayo dahil ipopost ko na ito sa page natin."

Magrereklamo na sana ako ng bigla itong lumabas ng classroom. Zel will surely kill me if it comes to her knowing.

"You made up? Together?" Via walked up to me.

"Yeah, last night."

"Good for you then."

I just nodded.

"Aagawin na sana kita sa kanya kung hindi pa siya umamin."

"Nah, you can't do that."

"Why?"

"Someone might get angry."

"Huh? Who?" Takang tanong niya kaya lumapit ako sa kanya at bumulong.

"Iris. I saw you making out in the dance practice room."

"You did?!"

"Yep. Kaya dapat sa susunod maglock kayo ng door lalo na kung gagawa ako ng kababalaghan." I said which made Via's cheek turn red.

"I can't believe you caught us!"

"You better go. Someone might die out of jealousy." I whispered when I saw Iris looking at us.

~~

"Ang dami naman." Reklamo ko habang nakatingin sa pila.

"They are crazy. Narinig lang nila ang name mo kanina kaya pumila na sila." Sagot naman ni Iris na kakatapos lang sa oras niya at naghihilamos na siya.

"Nagsasayang lang sila ng pera para lang mayakap ako."

"Like what I said, they are crazy." Iris left me dumbfounded.

Ilang minuto na akong nakatayo dito at feel ko ang lagkit ko na dahil kung sino sino ang mga yumayakap sa akin.

"C-Can I get a s-shakehand instead?" A cute girl nervously said

"Huh? Nagbayad ka for hug at hindi sa shakehand kaya halika na dito." I said as I tried to give her a comforting smile and hugged ger close. Mabilis naman siyang humiwalay at tumakbo na parang may nakitang multo.

"Free hugs, huh." That voice made me want to run away too. Feel ko isa akong magnanakaw at ngayon ay nahuli na ako.

"How long have you been there?" I tried my best to put up my sweetest smile ng lumingon ako sa kanya.

"Five minutes."

Five minutes? Kaya pala imbes na dumidiretso sa akin ang mga students ay lumiliko nalang sila at umaalis.

"Tinatakot mo yung mga customers namin."

"You're banned from hugging anyone right now!"

"P-Pero may oras pa ako. Kailangan ko pang mag stay dito ng 30 minutes."

"I'll pay for that freaking 30 minutes!" She said as she kissed me torridly in the open area. She gave me a playful smirk when our lips parted then she strongly held my hand driving me away from the crowded place.

Wala talaga siyang pake sa paligid.

"Where are we going?" I asked

"Daddylo called us."

"Si Don Zennon?!"

"Yeah."
