Walang Iba

Pain, Dance, Song, Anything Else For Tonight?

"Icen, start na tayo within 5 minutes."

"Ok. Thanks."

Within 5 minutes, tutugtog na kami but I don't wanna go out. Why? Simply because I don't wanna see Cielo with another guy. Ok, I'm jealous. So what?

Tss... Bad shot talaga ko ngayon. Nakakatamad. Imbis na lumabas, sumalampak pa ko lalo sa bangkuan. 

"Icen. Tara na pare, dami ng tao sa labas. Ganda ng chicks!"

"Ok ok. Susunod na ko."

Para saken, wala akong pake kung sino pang magandang babae ang iharap saken. I still like Cielo. Siya lang ang gusto ko, walang iba. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Cielo! You look stunning tonight."

"Thanks Ezekiel. Salamat nga pala sa dress na toh ha?"

"No porblem. Sayo na yan. Anyway, come on, dun tayo maupo."

Doon kami pumwesto sa may table katapat lang ng stage. Sa bawat paglakad ko, nakikita kong madaming naiinggit na tingin ang pinupukol sakin. Kung kutsilyo lang yun, baka dead on the spot na ko.

"Don't mind them Cielo. Just enjoy the night."

Bulong saken ni Ezekiel. Tama sya, wala ako dito para pansinin ang mga insecure na katulad nila. I'm here to  party so let's rock the night!

Ilang sikat na music pa ang pinatugtog hanggang sa magdilim ang paligid.

"Ladies and gentleman, this is the time that you're all waiting for. Please go to the dance floor. The real night is starting now."

Inalalayan ako ni Ezekiel papunta sa center.

"And now, presenting, our very own , True Soul band!"

Agad akong napatingin sa stage. Icen look dazzling in his suit. All the attention of the girls was in front and not with their partners.

"Too bad I'm not the one you're looking at.", sabi ni Ezekiel. Nahiya naman ako kasi kung sino sino pang iniisip ko samantalang siya yung kasama ko. I'm so unfair.

"P-pasensya na ha?"

"It's ok, I understand. Ganun talaga pag tinamaan sa puso."

"H-how did you -"

"I just know." , then he gave me smile. A smile that was so pure and from the heart. Hindi katulad ng smile ni Icen, yung parang laging nanloloko. Ganun. AAHHH! Si Icen na naman! erase erase!

The band started to perform and the people around us started swaying. I love the song. And the singer himself.

Once again, I laid my eyes on him then I saw him looking at us. Yes, to US.

Why are you doing this to me Icen? Why are you acting like you care? Like you're jealous? Like you love me? Oh I hate this night. May mas sasama pa ba dito?  ,</3
