Kiefer
"Manong, quit staring at yourself in the mirror. You're already late for Ate Simmy's party." It was my little sister Dani. She was in the living room with my parents and my brother while I was in my room.
"Wait!" I shouted back from my room. "Sandali na lang"
"Nak, you've been there for like hours. Tama na yan." Si mom naman.
"Manong, tama na yan. Ang vain mo talaga!" si Dani ulit.
"Andiyan na." I said then took one more glance to my reflection. "Ang gwapo mo talaga kief. Kaw na!" I laughed at my comment.
Kiefer Ravena, Kief to my friends. Basketball player from Ateneo de Manila University. They call me the Phenom or the Blue Mamba.
It's my bestfriend's girlfriend's, Simmy, debut today and I'm invited. I'm actually part of the 18 roses. Pero mukhang malelate ako eh. Nakatulog kasi ako. Akala nga nila Mom and Dani, nagpapaka-vain na naman ako kaya natagalan ako.
People think that I'm mayabang, vain and too confident. Di ko nga rin alam kung bakit ganun ang tingin ng iba sa akin. Stereo-typing. Tsk. Porket basketball player mayabang agad. Kaya minsan sinasakyan ko na lang. Eh yun ang gusto nilang makita eh.
I don't really care of what others say about me as long as the people important to me knows what I'm really made of. My family for example knows na hindi naman talaga ako ganun. Pero minsan tong pamilya ko, niloloko ako at inaasar.
"Ayan. Manang mana sa Daddy. Gwapo ng anak ko. Sinong date?" My dad said when I reached the living room.
"I'm going stag dad." I replied. My siblings and parents quickly turned their heads to look at me with amazement.
"Whoa! Ikaw? Parang hindi ako maniniwala sayo ngayon manong." My other sibling, Thirdy, commented.
"Eh di huwag. Alis na po ako Mom, Dad. Baka ma-late talaga ako nito. Sa Manila Shang pa naman yung party." I gave a kiss to Dani, Mom and Dad. Yes hindi naman ako nahihiya to show affection to my parents even to my Dad. I messed Thirdy. Kay Thirdy, ayaw ko magkiss, kadiri na yun. Haha.
"Take care Manong. Drive safely." Bilin ni Mom. Then I took my car from the garage then proceeded to the party.
When I arrive at Manila Shang, The party hasn't started yet. I thought I was already late but apparently it's Filipino time. I went directly to the hall assigned for Simmy's party. I was greeted by my friend/teammate, Chris Newsome.
"Paps, you look good. Gwapo talaga." He said then gave me a manly hug.
"Haha. You too, Paps. By the way have you seen Von?" Von is my bestfriend. We became super close when we went to college and got into the team together. Though I knew him way before. We were on the same basketball clinic when we were younger.
"Stage Boyfreind bro. Andun na kay Simmy siguro." Chris answered.
"Haha. Von talaga." I commented. Then the lights dimmed signaling the start of the party. Chris and I went to the table assigned to us.
The program of the party was the usual for debuts, 18 candles, 18 treasures and 18 roses. The host of the party announced that it's time for the 18 candles. Isa-isang tinawag yung mga taong assigned dun.
"Miss Martina Ynes Samantha Beatrice Villaraza." I heard the host called. Napatingin ako. Ang haba naman ng pangalan ng babaeng yun. Then my world stopped. O.O
Ang ganda. Sobra. Nakasuot siya ng skintoned backless long gown. Everything stopped. My heart skipped a beat. She looks like a star. No scratch that. She looks like an Angel. Scratch that again. She looks like a goddess.
Tulo laway na ata ako dito. I listened to her speech.
"Hello. Goodevening. I'm Sam.' She smiled. She's so beautiful at ang ganda ng boses. Bagay na bagay sa mukha niya.
"Hey Simmy..." She continued. Ako naman nano-notice lahat sa kanya. She speaks with authority yet sweet, firmness yet soothing. She's also tall. Great body.
I noticed everything that I didn't realized she already finished her speech. Then she walked slowly back to her seat. The host continued with the program.
"Kita ko yun Kief. Sarado mo nga yan bibig mo. Kakahiya ka." It was Chris Tiu, Ex-captain of ADMU Blue eagles, the King Eagle. He's a good friend of Simmy's brother kaya invited din siya.
After he said that I looked around to check if the others noticed my reaction. "Don't worry, ako lang ata naka-notice nun." He said with a naughty grin in his face.
"Ah.." I was cut off by him. "Huwag na mag-deny Kief. Kita ko na eh. Tama na muna yan. Kailangan na natin pumila, 18 roses na." I can't take my eyes off of her but I tried to concentrate sa program.
I danced with Simmy but I can't stop thinking about her. I kept on glancing to her table.
"Uy Kief, anung meron? May hinahanap ka?" Simmy asked while we're dancing.
"Wala. May nakita kasi akong maganda kanina, nawala sa paningin ko. DI ko tuloy nahuli." I joked. Jokes are half meant. Haha
"Naku Ravena! Ikaw talaga. Sabihin mo lang sakin papakilala kita." She said.
The dance was over. Then the dinner started. Lumapit sakin si Von.
"Paps! Stage boyfriend ah." I said ti Von.
"Kita mo naman ang ganda ng prinsesa ko oh. Dapat bakuran na yan." Sabi ni Von sabay tingin kay Simmy with that weird smile he always wear when he's talking about his girl.
"Oo na. Ikaw na in love." Sabi ko. "Paps...' Matanong nga to Si von kung kilala niya si MYSB. Short cut sa pangalan niya, ang haba eh.
"Oh ano?" He shifted to look at me.
"Kilala mo ba yung babaeng may napakahabang pangalan." He looked confused. "Sino?"
I pointed to MYSB.
"Sam?" And then I looked at her.
"Hoy Paps! Ba't ka ganyan makatingin kay Sam... Hoy Kiefer!... Ano yang iniisip mo ha!" I heard Von's voice. He seemed shocked? Alarmed? I looked at him.
"Bakit? Kilala mo?"
"Si Sam? Oo bakit?"
"Sam? Yung sam mo?" O.O
