[JULIE]
Morning sunshine. Morning birds! Morning world!
"... MORNING BIRTHDAY GIRL!!" Sheems! Nagulat ako dun. This guy will give me a heart attack!
"ANO BA MOE! PAPATAYIN MO BA AKO SA ARAW NG PARTY KO?!? And besides, tomorrow pa birthday ko ah?"
"Di naman kailangan bukas pa maggreet ah. Basta I greeted you today! Sige na po. It's 11:45am. GO WASH YOUR SELF AND GO TO THE SALON"
Sinunod ko na lang sya. Took a bath, changed my clothes and brought my dress with me na. Sa party, ako lang yung di nakamask kasi nga it's my party. Pagbaba ko galing sa kwarto ko nandun si Elmo, nanunood ng t.v.
"Hindi ka ba sasama saakin?"
"Siyempre hindi. Why should I?"
Tumaas yung kilay ko. "WHAT? Akala ko sasama ka? Why not?"
"I'm busy. Sige na. See you later future! Bye."
Hindi man lang siya tumingin sa ako kaya nagsmirk na lang ako. Ugggh! Akala ko sasama sya. Mabobored ako dun. Wala ako mauutusan, wala akong maaasar. Hmph. Oh well, might as well leave.
Pumunta na ako sa parlor. Wala akong imik habang inaayusan ako. They polished my nails and all. Hmmm. After how many hours. PARTY TIME NA!
I wore a pink gown tapos nakacurl yung buhok. Hindi ganoon kaheavy yung make-up which I like kaya naman mas naging palangiti yung aura ko. I'm a woman for tonight pero kinakabahan pa rin ako.
Pababa na ako ng car, nung biglang binuksan ni Kuya Migz yung door, siya yung driver namin.
"Hija! You're very beautiful. You're blossoming already. Nandito parin ako ah. Ang tatay mo"
"Kuya Migz naman eh! Pinapaiyak mo 'ko." Pinunasan niya luha ko. And pumasok na rin ako.
Pagkapasok ko, ako ang nagulat. This wasn't the expected designs and all. Nabago lahat ng balak namin! What?
This is my fav. color and mas naging mabusisi yung ayos ng mga designs kaya naman mas naging pleasing sa mata ko. Damn. Who made this? I love everything about it!
Habang tinitigan ko yung buong lugar, Kris approached me.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! FOR YOU" Blinow ko yung candle sa cake as Jay instructed. Madami ang tao. Sobra! Ayun! Si Lexi, Lyka and other seniors. Sobra! Ang dami talaga. Si Kris din nga pala ang host. Wait, asan si Elmo? I wonder.
"Jay, where's Elmo?"
"Ewan ko. 'Di ba kayo magkasama sa parlor?"
Sagot niya. Sheeessh. Where is that guy?
Kris: And now, let us hear a song from the birthday girl.
What? ME? Wala 'to sa program na nakita ko ah?
Jay escourted me papuntang stage. Binigyan na nila ako dun ng gitara and all. God, wala naman sa planong kumanta ako. Anong kakantahin ko? Namaaan.
"Uhm hi everyone"
"Whooaa!! Go Julie!"
They started shouting tapos natawa na lang ako.
"So, hindi ako nainform na I'll sing tonight. I know how to sing a little bit. Don't be stressed with my voice! Haha"
I paused for a while saka nag-isip ako ng kakantahin ko. Hmmm okay. I'll sing that I will dedicate to a person.
🎶I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me🎶
Moe, bakit wala ka pa sa party ko eh kabadong-kabado na ako dito? Please be here already. Alam mo namang tuwing ninenerbiyos ako, ikaw ang nagpapakalma sa akin.
🎶And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me🎶
It's my party pero ikaw pa rin iniisip ko. Ang daming tao dito pero ikaw pa rin hinahanap ko.
🎶Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid🎶
I hope we could make things work out already, Moe.
They went quite and then applaused. Whew. I'm out of here. Pagkatapos nung kanta, kainan na! 'Di ko talaga mahanap si Elmo. 'Di ko rin naman matext dahil may rule nga na bawal ang cellphone kapag may party. Never turn on your phones in a party. Sila Kris nagpauso nyan no.
I received their gifts tapos nakipagsocialize ako sa mga tao doon.
Nakita ko si Ken na gwapong-gwapo sa suot niya but the feeling is not there anymore.
Dumating na kami sa highlight nung party. The dance. Nakamasquerade silang lahat at ako lang ang walang suot na mask. Nandito ako nakatayo sa gitna ng dance floor like in the movies, nageexpect ako na makita ko na yung loveko.
Nung tumalikod ako, may nagsalita.
"Don't you know your standing in the center?" Wait, sa tingin ko,kilala ko siya.Oo, I think I knew him. .
Lumingon ako pero in my disappointment nakamask siya. 'Di ko matandaan kaninong boses 'to. But he is one famillar voice. Gaah. "For that, you'll have my heart and inside my heart is only you and will always be you. Take care princess! Take care"
Inabot nya yung sulat, ang weird. Di ko talaga sya nakilala. Sino kaya yun? Pagtingin ko sa binigay niyang box, napakaunique. Kahit yung papel na pinagsulatan nya nung letter halatang gawa kasi personalized. And yeah. Whoever he is, he is one good lover.
Pag-open ko nung box, nakita ko yung pictures ko. Picture ng naka side view, naka smile ng parang bata at basta pictures ko! More than 50 din ata yun and then kahit madilim, I opened the letter.
May slow song ma tumugtog that time na feeling ko, background music ng binabasa ko. My heart skipped a beat.
Julie,
Hey. Happy birthday. Siguro iniisip mo kung sino ako no? I put so much effort on taking your pics but I shall put another bundle of effort for you to know me. I watch you from such distance and I wish for you to be mine. But as I know you, you are one far star and I have to kill lives for me to own you. You are not an ordinary girl. As I sit here under the stars, waiting for your hi and hellos, hoping for you to know my love and wishing for you to be mine.
-Malalaman mo din kung sino ako sa tamang oras, Love, MA.
Huh? MA? Who the hell?

When We Fall Inlove (Panalangin) COMPLETED
Fanfic"I never believed in love, until you made me feel butterflies. Ano nga ba ang love? A thing that makes you happy? Is it when you feel something special for some? Or is it the pain that teaches you? For me, it's not it. Actually love is when you can...
