Mr. Wrong (Mr. Series #1)

Chapter 25

I heaved a sigh as I got in the cab. Kinakabahan ako sa gagawin ko. It's like I lost my mind about what happened earlier, and here I am making the most of the opportunity to go to the party because there is a part of my heart that really wants to see Jhon Rey.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when I arrived at Jhon Rey's unit. My heart is racing like crazy. I looked at myself and saw the gift I had prepared in my hand. Ang dami kong pinagdaanan para lang makarating dito.

I smiled when I rang the doorbell.

It was only a few moments before the door opened. I was greeted by the noise inside as well as the colorful lights dancing in the void. I looked at the man who opened the door for me.

"Yes? What can I do for you?"

Kumunot ang noo ko sa lalaking bumungad sa akin. Matangkad at maputi. Maganda ang pagkakaayos ng buhok. Medyo chinito.

"Ahh...Nand'yan ba si Jhon Rey?" nag-aalangan kong tanong dahil hindi naman ako sanay sa maiingay na lugar.

"Oh, you were invited. Halika, pasok ka."

I followed him. I was surprised at how the whole unit changed because of this event. It looks like a bar. A lot of girls and guys are dancing wildly to the beat. Some are drinking and laughing together. Mukhang nag-eenjoy talaga sila.

"Drink?" He took a glass of wine and gave it to me.

"T-thank you," sagot ko bago ko iyon inabot. Hindi ko nga alam bakit ko kinuha. Sa hiya siguro.

"Cheers?"

"Huh? Y-yes."

I accompanied him to drink. Gumuhit sa lalamunan ko ang tapang ng alak. This is my first time drinking an alcoholic beverage, and it tastes awful. Para akong masusuka na mauubo. My head immediately hurts too, and I feel a little dizzy right after I drink that wine.

"You're looking for the birthday boy, right? He's upstairs or maybe in his room."

Tumango ako at dagling ngumiti kahit pa hindi ko siya masyadong maintindihan.

"What is your name?" tanong niya.

"Sheen," I simply answered. "Sheen May Velasco."

"Velasco?" Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng kaniyang mga kilay na para bang duda siya sa pagkatao ko. "I'm Paolo, by the way. Paolo Rod."

Ngumiti na lamang ako tsaka ko iniabot sa kaniya ang kamay ko para makipag-shake hands. Tinuro niya sa akin ang kwarto ni Jhon Rey na siyang alam ko naman dahil nakapunta na ako rito. Muntik pa nga akong tumira kung hindi lang na-cancel 'yong sociology project namin.

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang mapansing umiikot ang paningin ko. It's like my world is turning upside down. Nahihilo talaga ako. Maging ang init sa katawan ko'y lalong tumataas. Ultimo pawis ko'y nagsisilabasan. Ito na yata ang tama ng alak na nainom ko.

Napasinghap ako nang makita ko si Jhon Rey malapit sa pintuan. Hindi ko inaasahan ang makikita ko. He was wearing long black sleeves tucked into his black trousers. The two upper buttons of his clothes were open. He is wearing a rolex watch. Her hair is a bit messy, which makes him look so fine and hot.

Nakatitig lang ako sa kaniya nang matagal nang mapagtanto kong narito nga pala ako para ibigay sa kaniya ang regalo at batiin siya. I was about to say hi when someone approached him, and she immediately grabbed her nape and kissed her.

Nanglalaki ang mga mata ko habang nakaawang ang bibig. My heart beats extremely fast, louder than the bass here inside his unit. I gasped. Is that really the man I know?
