Pa'no 'to ngayon? I can't break up with Gavin now that his family is expecting to meet me today.
Kasi naman. Why did I fvcking kiss him back in the first place? Eto ang napapala ko sa maling ipinilit na solusyon sa pagmu-move on ko from Dan. Malay ko din naman kasing babalik sya at malay ko din namang bibigay ako kaagad.
"Okay, sige. Lunch with them," pilit kong ngiti kay Gavin. Wala naman na 'kong magagawa. I can't break his heart now.
Obvious ang tuwa nya. His face lit up. "Yes! So dapat maka-uwi na tayo soon. Ang baho na natin. Ako, amoy alak tee shirt ko. Wait, sasabihin ko lang kay Maria," sabi ni Gavin na umalis at nilapitan si Maria.
Shet, shet, shet. Kainis Liana! Yan kasi pumatol-patol ka pa kay Gavin!
"Love," biglang bulong ni Dan na nasa likod ko na pala. "Put your number here," inabot nya sa'kin ang phone nya. I did what he asked. "Tonight, we'll sleep together."
Isa pa 'to. "Dan ang parents ni Gavin nandito," pagbabalita ko. "We're meeting them later."
"Walang we, walang kayo Love, kasi tayo. I'll tell Gavin about us if you're not with me by seven this evening in my hotel room."
"Don't be difficult Dan," irap ko sa kanya. I like us to be together pero ayoko ng mga pressure na ganito.
"I'm difficult now yes, pero you were gone for a year. Bumawi ka sa'kin. And this is how. Do this for me," diretso nyang sabi. "For the whole year I suffered."
Fine! "Okay, okay," payag ko na. Maningil ba?
"Figure out how, basta mag-aantay ako," huli nyang sinabi bago umalis.
Patakbong bumalik si Gavin sa'kin. "Okay na Ana. Alam na nina Maria," update nya sa'kin.
"Dan!" tawag naman ni Phil kay Dan habang hawak ang phone. Mukhang may kausap sya. "San na ang stag party mo tomorrow night?"
Tiningnan ko si Dan. Wala nang kasal so dapat wala ng stag.
Napatingin si Dan sa'kin. "Um, I didn't think- I haven't-"
"Want me to organize it?" prisinta ni Say.
"Yes dude. If you want, let Say do it. Kailangang matuloy. Our classmates are coming to this country tomorrow. I've announced it," sabi ni Phil.
Unsure ang hitsura ni Dan.
"Is that stag party jitters bro?" tanong ni Kearn kay Dan. "We'll maybe not invite strippers. Maybe. And if ever bro, it won't reach Liv that we did."
Nangiti na lang si Dan. Kabado syang napatingin sa'kin.
"Kasama kayo ah," sabi sa'min ni Say.
"I'm not sure. My parents will be here eh," sagot ni Gavin.
"Gavin hayaan mo silang mag-Disneyland bukas tutal naman magkikita kayo ngayon. Pupunta tayo," sabi ni Maria.
"Please, punta kayo," sabi ni Dan sa'min. Naka-tingin sya sa'kin.
So tuloy. Mababatukan 'ko 'tong si Dan. Sana stag lang ang tuloy at hindi pati kasal.
Bumaba na kaming lahat. Sinabihan ko si Gavin na mag-ayos na ng gamit namin while I stay behind para mag-picture picture pa sa rooftop. I wanted that to happen dahil gusto kong maka-usap si Dan ng kami lang. I also knew he would want to speak with me given na tuloy pala ang stag party nya.
"Stag? Pa rin?" confront ko kay Dan pagbaba na ng lahat. "Tuluy na tuloy pa ata ang kasal Dan."
"After this, it's over. Please, just let this one go. Ito na lang. Huli na. What can I do? People are coming over," dahilan nya.
