The Truth Hurts

The Truth Hurts [8]

Then someone called all the models na for their final touch kasi the program is about to start.Kaya he said goodbye na and wished me luck. I just looked at him and smiled.

“Uhmm, by the way, you look gorgeous tonight.” Sabi nya then naglakad na xa palabas ng dressing room. I felt my heart jump once more, the way he said it and ung look pa nya sakin seemed so sincere.

 Then I realized that what I really feel for him is real. And from that moment on, I‟ve decided to tell him na what I really feel.

 “Pare,”

“Pare,”sabay kami na nasabi.

“Yes?”

 “Yes?”sabi din namin sabay

 “Uhmm, I want to tell you something.” Sabi nya

 “Akoh din eh..” sabi koh with my eyes in his.

 “Models, line up na! The show is about to start. C‟mon!” sabi nung baklang coordinator kaya naputol ung talk namin.

 “I‟ll just catch up with you later. Okei?!” sabi koh, habang hinihila ng isa sa mga bakla

“Okei.. After the show?!” sabi nya still standing there sa may door

“Yup, after the show.” Sabi koh na nagpahila na rin sa bakla kasi masakit eh. When it was my turn to walk I felt my knees tremble but then I saw doc cheering me and pare was there. Just the presence of pare gave me self -confidence.

So I walked that catwalk with pride and without taking my eyes off of pare. While walking down the runaway I kept on thinking on what to tell pare and how to tell him the truth. After that dreadful walk I felt relieved. Feeling koh natanggalan akoh ng isangmalaking tinik sa dibdib.

The show was very exhausting but very fulfilling.I have never felt that kind of rush for a very long time.Though it was very stressfull sobrang sarap ng feeling. Pumasok sa loob ng dressing room si Twinx. Picture taking kami to savor the moment and have something to remember that day by. After that nagpalit na koh ng clothes.

 I can‟t keep the dress naman eh, though I‟d like to hindi pwede eh. Sayang. Sobrang ganda pa naman nun. Sinalubong kami ni Twinx sa labas nung dalawa. I don‟t know pero it was awkward for me seeing them talking. Nagyoyosi sila tapos nag uusap, which is a first. Sobrang kagulat talaga, lalo na ngaung I‟m sure with my feelings na (I think…).

 “Hey guys.” Sabi ni Twinx. Dun sa dalawa na mejo nagulat yata

“Hey!”“Hey!”un lang nasabi nila kasi nakita nila akoh na nakatingin ng masama sa kanilang dalawa eh.

 “What do you think are you two doing?!” sabi koh dun sa dalawa na nakataas ang kilay

. “Well… kasi ano eh…”

“Well… kasi ano eh…” sabi nila na may balak pang mag explain.

 “Ano?! Speechless?!” sabi koh na naka pamewang na. And Twinx was just watching in awe.

“Diba sinabi koh na stop nyo na yan?!” sabi koh, sabay patay ng sigarilyo ung dalawa. Para nga silang mga bata na pinapagalitan ng nanay eh.

“Ikaw, doctor ka pa naman tapos hindi ka marunong mag alaga ng sarili mong katawan?!” sabi koh kay dok, tapos natawa si pare, parang batang natuwa kasi pinagalitan ung kapatid nya

 “At ikaw, anong tinatawatawa moh dyan?! Isa ka pa eh! Kelan pa kita pinagsabihan na wag ng mag smoke?! Diba nung college pa lang. Tapos ngaun ganyan?! Nag promise ka diba?!” sabi koh kay pare, sympre dapat sya din noh, para fair. Natawa si doc, para koh nga silang mga anak eh. Tapos napayuko na lang sila at nag sisikuhan. As if blaming each other kasi nahuli koh sila.
