CHAPTER EIGHT

*9 years later*

This day is my day. I hope this will be a great day. My artworks will be shown in the City Art Gallery. Some of them will be for sale. My nag-sponsor kasi sa akin. This sponsor of mine bought some of my artworks. I will be meeting him tonight.

(Gwiyomi Ringtone)

"Hello-?"

"Congratulations Tara! This is your day. I'll be there by 4, ok? I'll bring the make-up artist. Bye," dali-daling sabat ni Yuri.

"Wait-"

Yeah. We're still friends. She's already married last year. Wala pa siyang planung magka-anak. Pinalago niya ang business ng parents niya for 5 years. Now, she has 4 restaurants all over the province. Ako? Single. Pero isa na akong pintor ngayon. I love what I am doing. Nagkakapera naman ako. I have my own house and car. Mahal kasi ng benta ng manager/agent ko sa mga paintings. Buti na lang may mga interesado din. There is one thing I want to achieve, iyon ay magtrabaho sa Venice.

Pumunta muna ako ng supermarket tapos naghanda na ako ng brunch ko. Tapos nag-update ng Facebook, Twitter, me2day at Instagram accounts. Then for 2 hours, nakinig lang ng ballads. After, I went to the bathroom and took my shower. At 5 minutes before 4, I was ready. Then, they came.

Hindi ko inakala na maraming tao ang dadalo sa lugar. Most of them were elites. I think, hindi naman nila gaanong kabisado ang arts pero bumibili talaga sila ng paintings for decorations. Sa party na ito, naghahanda din naman sila ng pagkain and mild drinks. I did have 4 shots to relieve my anxiety and nervousness.

"Tara, may ipapakilala ako sa iyo," biglang sulpot ng manager ko. "This is Alvin. Alvin Neri."

"Hi Tara..." bati niya sa akin.

"Alvin? Is that really you? You look... Wow," I hugged him tightly. "It's good to see you."

"I've been waiting for this day to come," sabi niya.

"Here. Have a drink," I invited him.

"So... How are you Tara?" He asked.

We tried to catch up but something is bothering me.

"You look... uncomfortable," he said.

"Uhm... hindi ko alam kung bakit. Oh yeah... Yuri's here. Remember her? She's in the CR, I think?" I said and searched my eyes for her.

"Tara!" biglang litaw ni Yuri. She looked surprised and doesn't know what to do. Parang nakakita ng multo. I wander what happen to her when she's away.
