"Sid, huwag mo kalimutan ang darating na binyagan ha?" Paalala ni Kevin habang naglalakad kami papunta sa parking lot.
Natigilan ako.
Kinalimutan ko talaga ang tungkol sa binyagan.
Ang totoo, I was hoping na nakalimutan niya rin dahil wala talaga ako balak pumunta.
"Ba't natahimik ka?" Tumigil siya sa tapat ng asul na Honda hatchback.
"Do I really have to go?"
"Why are you asking me that? Di ba umoo ka na kay Tita Marga?"
"I did but that was months before I broke up with Lee."
"Tol, this is not about Lee."
"I know that but I just don't want things to be awkward."
"It won't be awkward."
"Ba't mo nasabi?"
"She has a boyfriend."
This wasn't news to me.
Nasabi na sa akin ni Kevin ang tungkol dito.
"Just because she has one doesn't mean na hindi nga magiging awkward ang lahat."
"Magtapat ka nga sa akin," Sumeryoso ang itsura niya.
"Are you still not over my cousin?"
"Do you think a year and a half is enough to get over her? We were together for more than four years."
"Kunsabagay. Isa pa, Lee is hot."
"Ew. Gross."
"I'm saying that as a compliment."
"It's still gross. Pinsan mo siya and you sound like a pervert just now."
Binuksan niya ang passenger door at hinagis ang backpack.
"Basta. You and I are going to Laguna after work this Friday . Pupunta tayo sa binyagan and we are going to have a good time. Tsaka siguradong darating din si Tracy kasama ang mga hot niyang barkada." Excited na sabi niya.
I said goodbye to him and walked over to the red Toyota Corolla that was parked beside his car.
Somehow, I doubted that I will have a good time.
