CHAPTER 32
(Dahil na bored ay napilitang sumama ni Devon kina Tricia at Robi. Monthsary daw ng mga ito at feel nila na mag bar hopping. Devon never tried going in a Bar. Pero sadyang mapilit si Tricia na isama sya kasi miss na daw sya nito. Wala namang problema kay Robi dahil mas boring daw if sila lang ni Tricia. Pagpasok pa lang ay naiingayan na si Devon. Halata namang palagi tumatambay ang dalawa nyang kasama dahil may mga kakilala na ang mga ito sa loob. Laking gulat naman ni Devon ng makita nya sina Yen, Enrique, Jasmine at siyempre si Sam sa loob. Parang gusto na nyang tumakbo palabas pero maagap si Enrique at nahawakan sya sa braso.
ENRIQUE: Devz, glad to see you her. I know It’s your first time in this place.
DEVON: Ha? Sinamahan ko lang sina Tricia (she didn’t bother looking at Sam. Hindi naman nagustuhan ni Sam ang paghawak ni Enrique sa braso nito. He want to take her away from him pero wala na syang karapatan dito. Napansin naman ni Jasmine nabiglang nag-iba ang timpla ni Sam kaya niyaya nya itong sumayaw. Walang magawa si Sam kundi pagbigyan si Jasmine ayaw nya namang patuloy tingnan sina Devon at Enrique na masayang nag-uusap. Pero bago sya pumunta sa dance floor ay hinila nya muna patayo ang pinsan na si Robi at dinala malapit sa dance floor)
ROBI: Hey! Hey! Hey! I don’t know how to dance kaya huwag mo akong gawing tanga sa harap ng maraming tao.
SAM: It’s your plan, dba?
ROBI: Ang alin? (nagmaang-maangan na naman ito)
SAM: You called me awhile ago kung saang club kami…tapos pumunta kayo dito.
ROBI: So ano namang masama doon?
SAM: But why with Devon?!(napataas ang boses nito)
ROBI: Bakit naman hindi?
SAM: Stop talking me nonsense!!(napangiti nalang ng palihim si Robi kasi Sam can’t stand looking at Devon enjoying with other man)
ROBI: Give her time to enjoy herself Sam. You’ve hurt so much. Why can’t you allow her to be happy with somebody else?
(nag-init agad ang ulo ni Sam sa isinagot ng kanyang shipper na pinsan. Kaya hindi nalang sya sumagot pa, sa halip he went in the dance floor and dance. He just danced to release his anger. Jasmine is a wild dancer, she danced as if she’s flirting with Sam. Hindi naman maiwasan na masaktan ni Devon while she saw the way Sam and Jasmine were dancing. Enrique holds her hand and said)
ENRIQUE: Care to dance? Gusto mo talbugan natin sila?
DEVON: Ha?!! I can’t dance that way.
ENRIQUE: Then just dance according to how you feel. (bago pa nakapagprotesta si Devon ay nahila na sya ni Enrique sa gitna ng dance floor. She just danced the way how she feels. Naagaw naman ang atensyon ng iba pang tao sa kanilang apat. Devon and Enrique used to be a pair in the troupe longer than she and Sam. Naging pair lang sila ni Sam, when he started to befriend her. No wonder they already know each others move. Nagngitngit na naman sa galit si Sam ng makita nya how comfortable Devon and Enrique with each other. He just left the dance floor and went back to their table. He drinks and tries to calm himself down.
ROBI: Hinay-hinay lang baka malagot ako kay Tita nito.
SAM: I can manage.(he took another shot. He stared at Devon and Enrique at the other table. She saw how she smiles at him. Medyo na pa dami ang nainom ni Sam kaya hindi nya mapigilan ang sarili. He stood and went to the table where Devon and Enrique are occupying. Without any second thought, he held Devon’s hand strongly.)
