Too Late To Stay, Too Late To Say [ A BINI AU SERIES #2 ]

Chapter 37: The Unexpected Truth

Khali's Pov.

Everyone is busy on their own thing, yung iba umiinom ng wine, yung iba kumakain, yung iba naman ay nakikipag-usap at yung iba naman ay nakatayo lang sa gilid like me.

Hindi ko naman alam kung anong gawin and besides, kumain na kami nila Rhian kaninang-kanina pa. Kulang nalang ay lamunin ni Rhian yung buong nachos na nakahilera sa mesa.

" Gusto ko na umuwi, ang awkward," Sambit ni Gwy na kakabalik lang galing restroom.

" Tell me about it," Sabi ko and I chuckled. I'm watching Mali who's talking to her Tita Monique which is yung mother ni Nico.

" Botong-boto mama ni Nico kay Mali pero sayang naagaw mo pero okay na yun, lahat naman kami boto sayo," Sambit ni Rhian na may halong hirit.

" Hayaan mo na, hindi porket hiwalay na sila ni Nico ay kailangan iwasan niya rin si Tita Monique, Tita helped her through ups and downs kaya," Angal ko and Rhian chuckled.

" Khali " maamo kay Mali " Lim," Asar ni Rhian at sinabayan naman ng tatlo na nasa likod na kanina pa picture ng picture.

" Shut up, mga kupals,"

Mali's Pov.

Habang nag-uusap kami ni Kuya Cole at Tita Monique ay biglang nagtinginan ang dalawa and that made Kuya Cole ran towards the so-called stage nila ngayong gabi.

" Good evening, everyone! " Bati ni Kuya Cole na nakatanggap naman ng bati pabalik. All of them were raising their glass showing that they're greeting him back.

" I just wanna say thank you for coming sa sweet gathering or reunion namin, a big thank you to all of you," Sabi ni Kuya and it's his turn to raise his glass.

" By the way, special mention to you Mali Ricalde for giving us a chance to see you again kasi It's been awhile since our mom saw you, alam mo namang botong-boto si mama sayo when Nico introduced you to us," Sabi ni Kuya Cole.

Teka- ha?

" It feels like Mali Ricalde will be changed to Mali Vergara, huh? " Sambit nito and that made me frozed on my spot.
