Status: Pseudo Relationship

Part 26

[Lucille Ferrer]

I’m nervous of what may happen mamaya sa prom nila Louie. Kanina pa ako hindi mapakali.

I and Austin will cater the event while sila Dane naman ang hinire for documentary.

Maya-maya pa, I heard Austin sa living room talking with dad.

“Yes sir. I will po.”

“Ano kaba, no need to call me Sir, dad nalang—malapit na din naman kayong ikasal ni Lucille. 2 more years and magiging saon-in-law na kita!”

I saw him smiled saka nabaling ang tingin niya sa akin na pababa ng hagdan.

“There you are babe. Let’s go?”

“Yeah. The prom night will start few minutes from now. We’ll go ahead dad.”

You might be wondering bat babe. It’s part of the plan. To act as sweet couples in front of our family.

Pinagbuksan niya ako.

“Ready to take Dane back?”

“Is this the right thing to do?” Sinuot ko ang seatbelt

“If you really love him, then yes. It’s the right thing to do.” He started the engine.

8 o’clock ang start ng prom until mag 12midnight. There will be a fireworks display.

He suddenly hold my hand, naging dahilan para tingnan ko siya.

“I know you’re nervous. It’s normal. You get nervous when what you’re doing is important to you. Just let me do things later, go on with the flow. Okay?”

“Yeah—Okay.”

Hindi ko parin maiwasang mag-isip ng mga possibilities. What if mahal na nga talag ni Dane si Louie—and instead of winning her back, baka mas lalo lang siyang magalit sa akin.

“Anything wrong? Tahimik mo ulit.” Hindi ko narinig ang sinabi niya sa dami ng iniisip ko.

“It’s funny. Wala pa nga tayong ginagawa—kinakabahan kana.” He parked the car.

“Look at me. You look pale. What’s wrong?”

I looked away.

“Nothing. I’m just afraid of what I’m becoming.”

Inayusan ako ni Icy slash Isidro. Haha! Yung baklang kasama ni Dane nung pictorial ko for school magazine.

“Naku bakla! Ewan nalang kung hind ma-star struck si Dane sayo mamaya ha!” Icy said

“Siguraduhin mong maganda ako ha! Para ibigin!”

“Oo naman bakla! Wait---ihaharap na kita sa salamin ah—Naku! Naakaexcite Makita ang reaction mo bakla!”

Hindi niya kasi ako pinapatingin sa mirror, para daw surprise. Nakakaloka ano?!

“1….2..--” wala pang 3 tiningnan ko na pagmumukha ko-baka mamaya pinaglaruan niya lang diba? Haha! Pero may tiwala naman ako sa baklang to—aba! Si Dane ata nagpadala sa kanya dito.

“Ang ganda ko talaga.”

“May pagka conceited—pero tama ka naman talag bakla! Kabog na kabog ang beauty mo oh!”

“Infairness—Pasok sa banga ang pag make-up mo sa akin ha!”

“Syempre naman! Para san pa’t ang laki ng ibinayad sa akin ni Fafa--”

Binayaran?

“How much?” I asked

“Ah---ehh---10 kyaw bakla.”
