EH HINDI NAMAN TALAGA EH! (JanellaSalvador&MarloMortel)

CHAPTER 8 : Best Friends. Heart breaks.

HERSHEY'S POV

Everyone's having fun. Even me. Even though my date bailed.

Haha. Galing no? Ako na walang partner. Inindyan ako ng magaling na Louie na yun! Ampfff! Kainis much!

Hahaha. Nevermind nalang! Baka kung nandito din kasi si Louie, baka kawawa naman kasi iiwan ko din lang para magawa ko yung dapat kong gawin. You wanna know what my plan is?

Secret na muna! Abangan!

Im actually nervous. Pwew! First time ko tong gagawin! Hahahay!

Nang dumating kami kanina dito sa venue, nakita ko si Ash pero umiwas muna ako. Kasama niya kasi si Kes. Masakit po kaya sa mata. Nakakabulag. Charot! Hehehe. Joke lang po. Hindi naman po ako meanie ee.

Gusto ko kasing mag-gain ng strength para sa plano ko mamaya. Kaya iwas iwas muna. Lalo kasi akong kinakabahan pag nakikita ko siya lalo na pag maiimagine ko yung gagawin ko mamaya. Huwaaaaaaaa! Inhale! Exhale! Inhale! Exhale!

Pero pwera biro masakit po talaga sa mata. Hahahahaha!

I am currently enjoying the party with my two best girlfriends in the middle of the dance floor. Ang init! Feeling ko lahat ng energy ng mga taong nakapalibot din samin na sumasayaw, nagraradiate samin.

Hayyy. Nakakainis naman! Ako yung babae. Bakit ako yung gagawa ng move! Kung di ko lang siguro talaga mahal yung best friend ko, baka tatahakin ko nalang ang buhay Single Blessedness.

Then I heard my cue.

AINRIJ'S POV

"Mahal, anong iniisip mo?" -Josh

Biglang tanung saakin ng boyfriend kong si Josh.

Yep! May boyfriend na ako. Almost 2 months na din kami pero di ko pa sinasabi kay Hershey at kay Tine kasi its complicated. Hohohoho! Mamaya ko na sasabihin kina Hershey kasi marami pa silang iniisip lalo na sa plano ni Hershey mamaya. Ewan ko kung ano gagawin niya basta may plano daw. Nakooooo! Sana naman magwork!

"Inaalala ko lang si Hershey kasi bigla nalang siyang umalis at hanggang ngayon di ko pa siya nakikita."

"Saan daw ba siya pumunta?" -Josh

"Di ko rin alam. Baka ginagawa niya na yung plano niya. Mahal, ayaw ko masaktan yung best friend ko. Sa tingin mo kamusta na kaya siya?"

"Di ko rin alam. Pero isa lang ang alam ko. Kahit anong mangyari, hindi niyo siya papabayaan. Kahit masaktan man siya, walang mangyayaring masama sakanya dahil nandiyan kayo ni Tine para sa kanya." -Josh

"Oo naman. Parang ikaw. Lagi kang nandiyan para sakin kahit na lagi kitang kinukurot, pinapalo, kinakagat."

"Oo naman. Handa akong maging battered boyfriend para lang sa ikaliligaya ng mahal ko." -Josh

"Grabe ka naman! Di naman ako ganun ka-sadista ah!"

"Anung hindi? Tignan mo! Hindi pa gumagaling yang pasa ng kinagat mo nung isang araw. Tapos hindi gaanong sadista?" -Josh

"Yan lang naman ah."

"Anung yan lang! Gusto mo ipakita ko pa yung pasa ng isa pang kinagat mo? Yung pasa nung hinampas mo ko, nung pinalo mo ko. Alin gusto mong unahin ko?" -Josh

"Okay fine! Ako na sadista! Sige, okay lang iwan mo na ko. Nasasaktan ka lang pala ee."

"Mahal naman, joke lang yun no. Di po kaya kita kayang mawala ka sa buhay ko. Kahit na ilang beses mo pa ko kagatin ng kagatin, hindi ako aangal. Promise. Gusto ko ngang kinakagat mo ko eh. Parang yun yung paraan mo ng pagiging sweet. I love it." -Josh

Dahil sa sinabi niyang yun, kinagat ko siya. Sabay sabi,

"I love you."

He kissed me.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero sa tuwing hinahalikan niya ako, it feels just like my first kiss.

His kisses were of a gentleman that knows how to make a girl feel special, protected, and loved.

As we danced, holding each other I heard the Emcee introduce the band that would be playing tonight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Phantom strings."

There I saw, my best girl friend.

Holding the microphone.

Then the band started playing. OMGEEE! I think this is her plan!

Hinanap ko si Tine sa aking peripheral view (wow nosebleed).

Pero hindi si Tine yung nakita ko.

Si Ash.

Kasayaw si Kestrel.

Well normal lang naman siguro yun kasi sila ang partners right? Well ewan ko nalang kung hindi pa mainlove si Ash kay Hershey sa gagawin niya.

The band started to play, then Hershey started singing.

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid

To fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt

Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday

waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty I know she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything

Take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath,

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday

Waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid

I have loved you for

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

And all along I believed

I would find you

Time has brought

Your heart to me

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

Fight for him Hershey. You deserve to be happy. He is lucky to have you. Take care of your heart.

As I was about to clap for my best friend, she suddenly ran out of the stage.

OMY! What's happening.

Tinignan ko kung nasan si Ash.

I was dumb-founded.

I saw Ash kissing Kestrel.
