Mission 55

Mission 55

Napatingala ako nang biglang nagkakulay ang madilim na kalangitan. They had launch fireworks and it's so beautiful. I can hear the claps of the people mula dito sa taas. They are all on the deck while me here on the upper part staring down on them with my overwhelming eyes.

I think their presence is more wonderful to watch than these colorful fireworks. They are all busy watching the fireworks display while I'm busy watching all their amused expressions. Hindi ko mapigilang hindi mapaluha, they are all here for me. Mukhang nakalimutan ko na naman ang petsa.

Birthday ko nga pala. December 11.

"Happy Birthday Florence, napag utusan lang ako" nakangising sabi sa akin ni Jare. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko sa kanya ngayon. All I did is to smile back at him.

I'm so happy. Hindi ko na kailangan ng explanation because seeing all of them down there is an understatement. They all gathered here for me, so that's explaining my looks. Nagulat ako nang may yumakap sa akin mula sa likuran.

"Happy Birthday Bruha!" I heard her voice. When I turned around I saw one of my precious friend, Camilla. My friend from thick or thin, I still don't regret that I didn't inform them my whereabouts for months. I don't like them being involved with my mess up life. I think I'm being a bad influence for them.

"May kasalanan ka pa sa amin" nakapout na sabi niya sa akin. Same thoughts, alam kong ibabato nila yan sa akin kapag nagkita kami.

"Good job loverboy" narinig kong sabi ni Aira kay Jare. And I even saw her patted Jare's head. Are they close? Kailan pa?

"Tss. I'm not your pet" nakita kong hinawi ni Jare ang kamay ni Aira at mabilis na siyang umalis na medyo namumula. Natatawang bumaling sa akin si Aira. And I just glared at her.

"You like him right?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"No way" maiksing sagot niya, halatang nagsisinungaling.

"Tayo na sa baba habang busy pa sila sa panunuod, they've been waiting for you" hinila na ako ni Aira habang kinawit naman sa akin ni Camilla ang kamay niya sa akin.

"What's with your outfit?" nagtatakang tanong ko. Bakit ang weweirdo ng mga suot ng tao dito? They are both wearing an angel outfit with wings and halo.

"Duh? It's a costume ano pa?" I saw Aira rolled her eyes. Nagtatanong lang naman ako diba?

"You made my birthday like a children's party?!" gulat na tanong ko sa kanila.

"Para maiba naman" sagot sa akin ni Camilla. Oh great! I didn't expect that my 18th birthday will be like this punong puno ng weird outfits.

"Bakit hindi nakacostume si Jare?" tanong ko.

"Civilian siya na napadaan, ano ba?" natatawang sagot sa akin ni Aira.
