I had no words to describe that night.
In just a matter of an hour or two, ang dami nang naganap and I didnt know how to prepare for what to come next. With the way this night has started, I knew I was in for one crazy ride.
I just picked up the stilettos I threw and wore the pair. I didnt wanna go back to the party not wearing them. Papanindigan ko na tong pagiging maganda ko tonight. Lumabas na ako ng men's room as soon as I finished freshening up. Buti nalang walang taong nakakita sakin kundi for sure pag-iisipan na naman ako ng masama.
Kief: You ready to go back in, babe?
Nabigla ako nung makita ko siyang nakasandal sa wall. Kala ko iniwan na niya ako pagkatapos niyang lumabas kanina ng cr.
Ly: Babe mo muka mo! Tara na nga!
Tumawa lang siya and grabbed my hand. I could really get used to our fingers getting intertwined. It felt like home.
Pagpasok namin, si Dani agad ang sumalubong samin.
Dani: Where were you guys? Kanina pa namin kayo hinahanap. Let's go!
Hinila na niya kami papunta sa dance floor kung asan andun din ang ibang members ng family nila. Pinakilala lang nila ako, and then went on to continue dancing. Habang ako, naupo nalang sa malapit na table while looking at them. Ang sya nila!
Bigla ko tuloy na miss ang family ko. Hay kelan kaya ako makakauwi samin?
The music switched to slow songs. Ano ba to para naman tong prom. I saw a couple people sit down while the others found partners to dance with.
Tita Mozzy and Tito Bong.
Jolo and Dani.
Thirdy and a cousin.
Kiefer and... Wait asan si Kiefer? Di ko na siya makita sa dance floor. I must have been so preoccupied to not notice him disappear. Sus baka naghahanap na yun ng partner.
I frowned at the thought. Ewan ko kahit alam kong wala akong karapatang magselos, nagseselos pa rin talaga ako sa lahat ng mga babae na napapansin niya. Tsk. I wondered when he'll see me in a different light.
Inenjoy ko nalang muna ang sarili ko by taking small sips of orange juice and watching the couples sway to the music.
A little while later, nakita ko si Kief na papunta sakin. He looked dashing as always. God knows how much I wanted to stare at him, but I couldnt. Baka tumulo ang laway ko. Mapahiya pa ako.
Nung sobrang lapit na niya dun ko lang napansin na he was wearing a pair of white hotel slippers instead of his leather shoes. Ano bang nangyari? I was confused.
Ly: Oy bat naka slippers ka na? San na yung shoes mo?
He smiled and got down on his knee. He motioned for my feet but I didnt budge. What was he trying to do?
Ly: Anong ginagawa mo? Tumayo ka nga! Baka isipin nila...
Kief: Give me your feet.
Ly: Bakit ba?
Just then he pulled out a pair of hotel slippers from inside his tux. Pano kaya yun nagkasya? Anyway, I just stared at him.
Kief: Ly, wag na matigas ulo. Akin na paa mo.
Dun ko lang na realize kung ano ang gagawin niya. He wants to remove my heels and replace it with slippers.
Ly: No Kief, akin na yan. Ako nalang magsusuot on my own.
Kief: Yoko nga. Akong kumuha kaya akong magsusuot sayo.
Tigas talaga ng ulo nitong tao to! But matigas rin ang ulo kaya I never gave the satisfaction he wanted. Tiningnan ko lang siya ng masama and crossed my arms. No Ravena, lagi nalang akong natatalo sayo. This time around, mananalo ako.
