Velasquez 1:Runaway Girl

"Happy New Year!",Ayesha let out a laugh after the toast.

I brought her with me on my here,London.

All of us in our section,reunited,Zacheus as an exception of course.

"How are you guys doing?",bungad agad ng kaka-upo pa lamang na si Mira.

She was calm and corteous,so unlike her half-sister,ate Almira.

Yeah,I'm getting myself used to calling her that.

"I'm not fine...There's this stupid man who keeps on budging me! Ugh!",Coleen let out a frustrated shout before taking a sip on her wine glass.

"Care to share who's the lucky guy?",natatawang saad ni Oshin.

She was just quietly sipping on her wine glass too.

"I...I can't.It's too private kase eh.",she shrugged.

"Wews,people! Happy New Year!",Jacy hugged my neck from the back.Kakarating niya pa lang.

At imbes na umupo ay tinungga niya ang bote ng margarita.

"Whoo! Cheers to a healthy new year break up!"

Umiling-iling ang lahat dahil sa inasta niya.Maging ako ay nagulat din.

It's been months since we last saw each other,at ito agad ang bungad.

"Who's the fucker who broke your heart?"

Agad lumamig ang paligid.What the fuck?!

"You know him!He's a damn classmate since fourth year!"

"Boo....

I need to escape this place.

"Omy-she's wasted guys,I-I need to bring her hom-"

"Aguy! Tumatakas kana naman,Tonette!",kinagat ko ang ibaba kong labi ng marinig ang sigaw ni Ayesha.

Tumingin ako sa likod at nasalubong ko ang tingin ni Zacheus.

"H-Happy New Year.",saad ko habang nakayuko.

"I uh..about the investment..."

"Yeah.I heard about it,and I don't want to ruin my moment today,so get out of my way.",I glared at Ayesha kaya kumaway na siya sa iba pa.

We were staying at a five star hotel so we had condo's.Ayesha and I were roommateso both of us went there together.

"How's it feel? Seeing him again?",she suddenly blurted out.

Nakayuko lang siya,hinihimasmasan ang sarili.Hindi naman ako masyadong uminom kaya hindi ako nalasing.

"It feel so surreal.It's like...I want to embrace and kiss him,but I feel the anger.",umiling-iling ako.

Hindi ko maintindihan.

"By any chance,will you go back to him?"

Tumango ako.

"I thought you didn't like comebacks?",she stared at me,nakakunot ang noo.

"Walang kami,Yesh.Hindi naging kami."

"I-"

"If your going to ask why...wala eh,mixed signal siya.He's a no label enjoyer,pero pinutukan ako!"

Masama niya akong tiningnan.I know why,sermon na naman.

"Eh,bakit ka nagpapukot? Anong akala mo sa sarili mo? Imvinsible,na hindi kana tatablan? Ha?",sarkastiko siyang tumawa.

"Akala ko ba 'There's no man that can achieve my standards this high' ka beh?"

Umiling siya kaya napanguso ako.
