So Close Yet So Far (ON HOLD)

Chapter 39

I let out a deep sign at walang ganang tumingin sa harapan, kung saan may nagsasalita.

Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng meeting at kanina pa sinusubukan kunin ni Hugo ang pansin ko pero ni tingin hindi ko ibinigay sa kanya.

But my patience is cut loose and I want him to stop this nonsense kaya tumingin ako sa kanya para patigilin siya.

"Engr. Lardizabal, please... Just please give me a break." Nagmamakaawa kong sabi sa kanya as I give him a tired look.

I am really tired trying to understand why he is doing these stunts.

He looked surprised at mukha itong nalungkot pero mabilis rin itong nagpakita ng tipid na ngiti.

Tuwing nagkakasalubong kami sa hallway ay lagi itong bumabati pero hindi ko ito binabalik, kahit na may nakakakita. I don't want to.

Ngayun na araw din ang party na pinag planohan ni Mency. Matagal na din kaming hindi naka party dahil halos lahat ay busy, lalo na't lahat ay may pinagkaka-abalahan.

At si Diana naman na laging nag-oorganisa ng aming pagtitipon ay hindi makakapunta dahil sa nagdadalang tao na ito, so she won't ne able to organize party for us for now. Maybe it will take a long time because soon, she will have a little fingers to hold and her priorities will forever change.

We might not notice it yet but we are slowly changing. We are not the party goers anymore. Even Brie is not that interested in partying anymore but since it's a one time thing, kahit papano ay lahat kami excited because it has been a very long time since we have done this.

Mangyayari ang party sa function hall ng hotel nina Mency kaya naman marami rin ang imbitado.

I don't know whom else is coming because it's not just us friends because some relatives, business partners and other friends outside our group is also coming.

I brought Jax as my plus one kahit hindi naman na kailangan dahil na invite na siya ni Brianna.

I wore a backless light pink short strapped romper satin dress with cowl neck that complimented my fair skin tone. My mother designed this dress, I miss wearing her designs.

"Wow!" Gulat na sabi ni Jax ng nakita akong papalapit sa kaniya.

"You're so sexy." Sabi ni Jax na nakangiti. Kinurot ko siya sa gilid ng unti dahil nahiya ako sa sinabi nito.

Hindi naman ako naasiwa sa paraan ng pagkakasabi nito, in fact I even appreciated his compliment.

Madalang niya akong makita na nakagantong suot dahil sa mga business party ay usually long dress ang sout ko, kahit na minsan ay sexy ito. Today I am showing too much skin but I know that other girls will wear a much more revealing one.

This is the first time he has seen me wearing a tiny clothes kaya siguro gulat ito.

"You also look so good." Sabi ko.

He is wearing a white fitted long sleeve top that complimented his tight physique and a black pants with his Nike shoes.

This is a casual party kaya naman no one is gonna wear tux because everyone are probably wearing a casual clothes but since girls like to dress up, I bet all the girls that are invited are wearing clothes that shows their assets.

Nasa labas na kami ng hotel nina Mency. Nasa gitnang palapag pa ang function hall nila, kaya kinailangan pa namin sumakay sa elevator.

"Nervous?" Tanong ni Jax.

I'm fidgeting and it seemed like he noticed, kinabahan ako bigla. This is my first party after 2 years at hindi ko alam kung ano ang aasahan ko sa mga imbitado rito.
