CHAPTER 6: Mere Cover
Inaayos ko ang sariling buhok sa harap ng maliit kong salamin. Architect Pam texted me a while ago, she didn't mention anything about what to wear or the proper outfits for today, so I've decided to just let myself be comfortable with casual clothing.
Okay naman siguro ang ganito, lalo na kapag mamasyal sa mga mall at mag-shopping.
"Calm down, Anastasia. It's merely a day for stroll." I tried consoling myself in front of the mirror.
Ceasing the terrors of going out in the vast of people's center of entertainment will be the hardest. Though, it's never really an issue, I just don't want to ruin anyone's good day for bearing this grosteque figure. Lalo na't sariwang-sariwa pa ito.
Tumayo na lamang ako mula sa pagkakaupo at ginapang ang kamay sa buong damit. Sa lahat ng kasuotan ko dito, parang ito lang yata ang pwede kong gawin panlabas.
"Where are you?" Pam called again after ten minutes of me, getting ready.
"I'm on my way, saan nga ba ulit tayo magkikita?"
She sighed on the other line. "Tinext ko na sa 'yo, Tash. Ang init sa Pilipinas!" I can hear her cries on the other line.
Hindi ko siya masisisi, ang tagal niyang naghintay sa 'kin. Paniguradong buryong-buryo na iyon.
Sumakay na 'kong muli sa jeep at nagmamadali. I remember some time before, I was thinking of buying a new sketchpad and some books. Ngayon ko na siguro matutupad iyon. Magpapasama nalang ako papunta sa book store.
"Gosh, Tasha! Finally!" Agad na hinila ni Pam ang braso ko pagkarating na pagkarating sa mall. Wala naman akong nagawa kung hindi ang mapatianod.
"I've been waiting forever, nakakaloka ang init do'n." Hindi pa rin siya tapos sa pagrereklamo. She kept on fanning herself as if there were sweats forming. Awang-awa naman ako dahil kasalanan ko iyon.
Yumuko na lamang ako at nahihiyang napangiti. "Sorry, ang hirap kasi maghanap ng masusuot."
That's the truth. Ayoko naman sanang sumama na mukhang pinag-tripan. Pam would definitely deny me as her companion if she happens to see me that way. Look at her now, sporting some sexy outfit. A black fitted spaghetti strap with a heart-shaped neckline partnered with a knee length maong ruffled skirt and a black stilleto.
Hindi ko tuloy mapigilan ang mapatitig sa kan'ya...
Grabe, ang lakas ng dating!
Halos lahat yata ng mga nadadaanan naming tao ay napapatingin. She looks really sexy and enticing from her outfit, definitely a head turner.
If I were the one wearing that, people would certainly be horrified because they would probably think of me as a witch or a trying-hard bitch, strolling around the mall.
"Saan tayo pupunta, architect?" hindi ko na napigilan ang pagtatanong.
"Basta, just follow me."
The mall is quite busy. It's sunday, anyway. Talagang mapupuno ang building na ito dahil mainit na naman sa bansa, kailangan din nilang mamasyal sa mga air-conditioned estbalishments.
