"Madi, kailan ko ba talaga pwede puntahan sila?" That's Farrah. Ex ni David na kasama ngayon ni Beatrix. At bakas na din sa kanya yung inis.
"Can you please calm down? Let's wait for the right time." I said.
Yes, we're in Shangri-La. Just four tables away from their table.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? My stupid ex is dating that girl. We just broke up and eto may ipapalit na sya agad sa'kin?" Parang naiiyak na sabi nya.
"And why are you helping me again?" Taas kilay nyang tanong. Ang bilis mag shift ng mood nya ah.
"Who says I'm helping you?" Simpleng sagot ko sa kanya.
I wasn't doing this for her, I was doing this for me.
I was busy looking at the two people who's enjoying their little chitchat at the moment.
Beatrix looked so beautiful tonight. She always do, but she looked extra pretty right now. I hate and love it at the same time.
Ano? Pinaghandaan nya talaga yung date nila ngayon? I hate the idea of her dating another person that's not me.
I even tried to stop her from going out with that jerk but ayaw nyang makinig. David is a playboy and I have this sudden urge to protect Beatrix from him.
No, ayaw kong may kasama syang iba.
I like her. I hate that I like her. Kaya these past few days, pinilit kong umiwas sa kanya. But my heart has a mind of its own. I just found myself kept coming back to her.
And here I am now with David's ex, waiting for the right time to come para maisagawa yung plano ko.
"Hey!" Pukaw ng kasama ko sa'kin.
Tiningnan ko naman sya. "What?"
"Why are you helping me?" Ulit nyang tanong.
"I already I answered that question." Sabi ko sabay inom ng wine na inorder namin.
"No, you didn't." Nakangisi nyang sabi. Parang tanga din to eh. Kanina lang halos mangiyak ngiyak na, ngayon nang-aasar na.
"It's none of your business. Anyway, just stick to the plan." Iwas na sagot ko sa kanya.
"Okay, then. But gosh! Ni hindi nga ako dinala ni David dito, but sya.... urgh!!!" Nanggagalaiting sabi nya.
Napatingin ako kay Beatrix. She looked uneasy. May nangyari bang hindi maganda?
Ayosin lang ni David yung buhay nya. Wag si Beatrix.
Nung bumalik ang tingin ko kay Beatrix ay nakita kong nag-excuse sya kay David.
It's about time.
Tumayo na ako at kinausap si Farrah. "You know what to do."
She nodded and I excused myself.
Sinundan ko si Beatrix papunta ng comfort room.
Fck! Why am I trembling?
Dahan dahan kong pinihit ang door knob at pumasok sa loob. Nasa loob pa sya ng isang cubicle kaya sumandal muna ako sa lavatory, patiently waiting for her.
Nang narinig ko ang pag unlock ng door ay hinanda ko na ang sarili ko.
And seeing her right now, being this close to her again, gives me so much feelings I haven't felt for a very long time. And that frustrates the shit out of me.
Especially ngayon na parang hindi nya talaga inaasahan na makikita nya ako dito sa loob ng cr. Sobrang gulat na gulat sya at hindi makapagsalita. Kaya dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa kanya.
