Gabi na ngunit heto ako't nakatitig sa kisame habang yakap yakap ang isang malaking unan, sinasariwa ang mga nangyari, maya't maya ang hawak ko sa aking labi at biglang mamumula, hanggang ngayon kasi ay ramdam na ramdam ko parin ang malambot niyang labi sa mga labi ko, napagulong gulong nalang ako sa aking higaan dahil sa labis na kilig.

"awww" daing ko dahil nahulog ako sa kinahihigaan ko, minasahe ko ang parte ng ulo ko na nasaktan at dahan dahang tumayo, pagtayo ko ay hindi inaasahang mapadako ang tingin ko sa tabi ng lampshade kung saan nakapatong ang isang pulang sobre, kahit nagtataka ay dinampot ko ito't naupo upan,pagkaupo ay hindi kona muna ito binuksan bagkus ay pinagmasdan na muna ito, kung titingnan ang itsura ng sobre ay talagang galing ito sa maimpluwensiyang tao dahil hindi biro ang mga nakapalibot dito, halatang pinasadya.
I gently removed the seal of the elegant red envelope, feeling a sense of anticipation mixed with curiosity. The smooth paper yielded to my touch, revealing the carefully written message inside. My brows furrowed as I read the words, a sudden realization dawning upon me.

"Oh, I almost forgot," I muttered to myself, a hint of disbelief in my voice. "Tonight is my father's 47th birthday"

After reading the invitation, I crumpled the elegant red envelope in frustration and tossed it aside, the graceful gesture now marred by irritation. My fingers clenched around my phone, dialing his number with an urgency that matched the weight of my emotions.
Minutes passed like hours before he finally answered, his voice curt and indifferent on the other end of the line.

"Oh" sagot niya na tila pa tamad na tamaad.

My irritation flared at the delayed response, and I couldn't help but leave a hint of irritation in my voice "Why does it take you minutes to answer my call?"

Nakarinig ako ng mahinang tawa mula sa kabilang linya.

"sus, miss mo nanaman ako" he answered

"papatayan kita!" banta ko

"luh?inaano to? bakit ka nga pala napatawag?"

"I need a partner " diretsahang sagot ko

"Anong klaseng partner ba iyan? partner in crime?oh baka naman partner in life?" pilosopong sagot niya kaya naman inis na natampal ko nalang ang noo ko dahil sa sobrang inis

"partner sa party, tonight is my father's birthday, please lang magsuot ka ng maayos na damit, yung kaaya aya naman!"

"yes boss! sunduin ba kita?"
