BEA POV
PONGGAY: "Isabel right? Paano kayo nagkakilala ni ate Jia namin?"
I think of a possible way out to this chaos I get into. I need to make up a very convincing story. Or else we're both dead. Ayaw ko pang matapos ang kalokohan kong 'to.
JIA: "Galingan mo babe. Ginusto mo yan eh." Hahaha
Mukhang nangtrip si Jia. She is enjoying this part. Hindi ako magpapatalo.
BEA: "Well, we first met at the airport. The rest is history."
Then, they are all staring at me waiting that I will say more. But I didn't.
ELLA: "Wow, napaka romantic ng storya niyong dalawa. Naiyak ako guys. Tissue please."
She is acting like she is really crying.
PONGGAY: "Bravo. Bravo. That's the most romantic and epic story I ever heard of. Guys I'm so kilig."
And I know what they are talking is the opposite of what they are saying...
DEANNA: "Palakpakan naman diyan guys. Ganda nung kwento, The rest is history." Hahaha...
Jia is laughing so hard. That is why ganun ang reaction niya kanina. Mukhang alam niya mapagtritripan ako.
I know it was pretty lame, kaya nagkamot ako ng batok. Eh sa wala ako maisip eh.
Then I look at Jia asking for help, but it seems that she is enjoying my misery...
Ngumungisi na siya and restraining herself to laugh so hard. And seeing her right now wala talaga siyang balak na tulungan ako.
Gumaganti ang loko. I smirk at her, sending her a message that I know what she is thinking.
DEN: "Seriously, I'm not into lame excuses right now. So stop with that "the rest is history" crap of yours. I'm not buying it."
Yun lang, ang sungit. She was serious, nakakatakot siya. Even her teammates changed their mood. They all became serious. Kaya bigla akong natakot.
Lalo't nagsalita pa ang isa nilang teammates.
ELLA: "Patay."
Even Jia's reaction did not help. I know I'm in trouble.
But heck, what the hell. I'm Isabel Beatriz Paras De Leon.
BEA: "As what I have said, we first met at the airport. She is a stupid one na bumunggo sakin."
JIA: "Stupid one! Mukha mo! Ikaw nga tong hambog eh. And excuse me, hindi kita binunggo may bumunggo lang sakin."
BEA: "Excuse me rin. Stop with your lame excuses luma na yan. Style mo talaga yun para mapansin kita. And yes, you really caught my attention babe." (sabay smirk and kindat sa kanya na sinamaan lang niya ng tingin)
JIA: "Wow ah. Hiyang hiya naman ako sa self-confidence mo. Baka gusto mo namang mamigay. Siksik, liglig at umaapaw eh!"
BEA: "Ayaw pa kasi umamin babe eh. Kaya nga love na love mo ako eh dahil sa confidence ko at higit sa lahat dahil sa gandang gwapo ko."
Sabay tingin sa kanya at turo sa mukha ko. At nilapit ko ito sa mukha niya.
JIA: "Uso mahiya babe! At tigilan mo yang pagpapacute mo."
MADDIE: "Hmm. Hmm. Dito pa po kami. Kasali po kami. Baka lang nakakalimutan niyo."
BEA: "Sorry. Si Jia kasi eh. As I was saying, we met at the airport and it was not pretty good."
