Kanina pa ang ngiti sa akin ng lalaki sa tabi ko at kanina pa din ako nagtitirik mata sa tuwing mahuhuli ko siyang nakatingin sa akin.
Evan seemed to be easy and energetic while I'm here at my fury of him almost making me date myself. And it made me wanna hate myself more for naming this damn thing as a DATE. What's happening to me really?
Nayari na ang buong program at maghahain na ng food sa mga guest. Everyone are lightened with each others conversations same here on our table.
"Kate diba ex mo yung naka striped polo shirt sa last table? Am i seeing it clear? Kaholding hands niya yung bading na kaibigan ni Kuya Chad." may pandidiri pa sa boses at mukha ni Chaze ng ituro ang tinutukoy na ex ni Kate na palihim na kaholding hands sa ilalim ng mesa ang production manager ni Chad sa mga shoot nito.
"Oh. Thats..." si Kate na pilit may iniisip maalala. "..never mind the name. But I remember him the day i cut seeing him. He's crying out saying girls are all 'men users' daw." she flipped her hair with eyes rolling remembering an irritating past. "E hello! Anong sinasabi niyang ginamit ko siya? Did i asked money from him? The hell would i do that? Did i used him for lustful desire? Kill me now. Over my dead body! I really don't get people drowning themselves from heartbreaks, dinamay pa ko sa 'men users' na sinasabi niya. Pag ayaw sayo, wag mong ipilit! Simple as that."
"Kate, puso mo!" pang aasar ni Kuya Chinu pero Inirapan lang siya nito.
"Kumain ka ng marami ah." biglang bulong naman ng katabi ko. Kinalikot niya ang meat sa plato ko using his own spoon and fork. Iyon pala, ipinaghimay niya ako ng meat. I looked around, conscious that they might see us this way but they seem so fond of their convos except to Von.
"That answers it." Jez nodded. "Siguro nabitter sa babae kaya nagchange gender.. E ikaw naman kasi, sinaktan mo naman yata e. And for the sake of manners, why not done it in a good way. Para hindi naman nadadamay lahat ng babae sa actions mo!" she rolled eyes, heavenwards.
"Hay nako. Wag nyo nalang pansinin. I can't even remember what kind of person that man is. But im sure that's the reason why i broke up with him. You know me. Im not good in memorizing reasons, as well as i don't remember their names." Kate added with a tone of boast. "Well, I call eveyone of them babe for a hassle free interacts." she added chuckles at the end.
Jez tapped her back as she mockingly sneered "You're a total bitch sissy."
"I know right!" Kate squealed in honor.
Napa face palm nalang ako sa kabaliwan nila. Chaze seem to be enjoying the topic. As well as everyone on the table. While the man beside me is seriously gazing on me wether i care or not.
"You want another serving? I'll get you some." bulong ni Evan ng makitang paubos ko na ang nasa plato ko.
Nilingon ko naman ito at tanging plain expression lang ang nakita ko sakanya.
"No thanks, Im full." simpleng sagot ko dito at iniwas na ang tingin.
Sa peripheral vision ko naman ay nakita kong nakatingin sa gawi namin ang kanina pang tahimik na si Von. Hindi ko nalang pinansin ang nakita at nakinig nalang muli sa usapan ng mga kasama sa mesa.
"Speaking of exes. Alam niyo ba na itong si Master Breezy, may ex admirer na nag disguise na lalaki at sumali pa sa basketball team to get closer to him?... I bet you don't." tanong ni Rod pero sinagot niya rin naman ng makitang nabigla si Chaze at Jez sa sinabi niya.
"Really kuya?!" manghang manghang tanong ni Chaze sa kapatid.
Nagpogi sign lang ang kapatid niya. Ano pa nga ba ang aasahan mo sa isang Chinu Guevarra?
