Chasing Love

* * *

"What the hell?" sigaw ng isang babae sa'kin. "Look what you did to my dress! Stupid!" napaka eskandalosa naman nito.

Tinalikuran ko siya dahil naiirita ako sa pag mumukha niya, ang arte niya hindi naman bagay sakanya.

"Hey you! Huwag mo akong tatalikuran! Kinakausap pa kita!" sigaw niya ulit pero hindi ko siya pinansin. "You stupid bitch! Bayaran mo to!!" sabi niya tyaka hinila ang braso ko. I face her with my bored look. Tinaasan naman niya ako ng kilay. "Look at my dress, you ruined it! Bayaran mo 'to! Mahal pa ito sa..." she look at me from head to toe. "iyo..." She's wearing a yellow bubbly dress paired with I think 2 inches heels, and I'm wearing denim shorts and shirt paired with sneakers shoes. "Oh? You can't afford it??" she said while smirking.

Gosh, who is this girl by the way? I'm so late! I'm sure my friends are looking for me right now!!

"Give me the price of that fucking dress." I said while looking at my wrist watch, I'm thirty minutes late. So nice!

"Are you sure you can afford my dress? I bought this dress from forever21! Wala kang makikitang ganito dito! This is limited edition." sigaw niya. Gosh, hindi ba siya nahihiya? Kanina pa kami pinag'titinginan ng mga tao.

"Just give me the fucking price!" iritado kong sabi, nagulat naman siya.

"Five thousand pesos!" matapang niyang sabi. Kinuha ko ang wallet ko at tinignan kung may cash akong dala. Kung minamalas ka nga naman, wala!

"Oh ano? Hindi mo kayang bayaran? Patanong tanong kapa ng presyo hindi mo naman babayaran! Nasira na tuloy ang damit ko! Hindi na ako makakapunta sa party ng mga Smith!" Tumaas ang kilay ko sa narinig ko, Smith.. Napangisi ako. "Anong ngini'ngiti mo dyan? Magbayad kana! Pinapatagal mo pa, letche!"

Pinunit ko ang papel at nilahad sa harap niya, "Ano yan?!" galit na sigaw niya. "Anong gagawin ko dyan?!!" gosh, nakalunok ba 'to ng megaphone?

"Kuhanin mo, pagkatapos..." ngumiti ako bago pinagpatuloy ang sasabihin ko, mukha naman siyang tangang naka kunot ang noo habang naka pamewang sa harap ko. "sunugin mo." napanganga siya sa sinabi ko.

"Ano?! Niloloko mo ba ako?!" sigaw niya habang nakaturo sa mukha ko.

"Hindi mo ba kukunin? Nangangawit na ako." bored na sabi ko, tinignan naman niya ang hawak ko at biglang nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa nakita niya.

"Ten thousand pesos?! Bakit, bakit meron kang ganito kalaking halaga?! Saan mo galing to?!"

"Hindi ko kailangan magpaliwanag sa'yo. Bayad na ako, higit pa sa sinisingil mo." malamig kong sabi tyaka siya tinalikuran.

"Finally! Dumating ka din!" Divya said, my friend.

"Long story." sabi ko at nagtawag ng waiter. "Kumain naba kayo?" tanong ko sakanila.

"Not yet, we're waiting for you." Avery said.

"Order na kayo, my treat. Sorry for waiting."

"It's okay, we will always wait for you because we love you." Kira said.

"I love you guys." I said then smile at them.

"What happened to you at ngayon kalang na late ng almost one hour?" tanong ni Avery habang kumakain kami.

"Well, nalate talaga ako because of traffic pero habang papunta ako dito nabangga ako ng isang babae. And then she said I'm the one who bumped her."

"What did you do?" Divya asked me while she's smirking, I know what's on her mind.

"Nothing, I turned my back on her but she grabbed my elbow so I faced her with my bored look. She wants me to pay, she also said na mas mahal ang dress niya kaysa sa'kin." tumawa naman sila sa sinabi ko.

"What? Omg! Hindi ka niya kilala?" takang tanong ni Kira.

"Obviously, hindi ka niya nakilala." sabi naman ni Divya habang natatawa.

"Judgemental." bulong ni Avery pero rinig namin lahat, kaya natawa nalang kami.

"And then anong nangyari?" tanong ni Kira.

"I checked my wallet if I have cash, pero sobrang swerte ko at five hundred pesos lang ang laman! Then she said, hindi ko daw talaga kayang magbayad, patanong tanong pa raw ako ng presyo. I didn't bother to answer her cause' she's so annoying. And then she even mention that she can't go to the party of the Smith's because her dress is ruined."

Napangisi naman ang mga kaibigan ko. I know guys. I know.

"You're so beautiful.." Naveen said.

"She's stunning!" Zachary added.

"Stop it, baka lumaki ang ulo ko." biro ko kaya natawa silang dalawa.

"Are you ready?" My mom asked. I just nodded.

"Let's go?" Naveen said then he hold my hand.

"Welcome to the world!" Kira joked. We all laughed.

"Welcome to the real world." Divya said. I know what she mean.

"We're always here to support you." Avery said. I smile.

"Group hug!" Kira said.

"Bakit hindi ako kasali dyan? Group hug!!" ani Naveen.

"Childish." bulong ni Avery kaya natawa kaming lahat.

"Hey! Shut up!" Naveen said while hugging me, yes only me.

"Ohh shut up Mister cold and heartless." Avery added. She's right, Naveen has two personality. Being Childish when he's with me and being cold or heartless when he's not with me. Well, we're just same.

"Stop it both of you!" someone said. "Dad's looking for you." Zachary said while looking at me.

"Hi Zachary!" ani Avery habang kumakaway pa sa aking kapatid.

"He won't look at you, cause' you're ugly." bulong naman ni Naveen kaya siniko ko ang tagiliran niya. "Hey!" saway niya sa'kin.

"Stop it Naveen." I said. "Wait for me, pupuntahan ko lang si Dad."

"Sama kami." Kira said. I just nodded.

Habang papunta kami kung nasaan ang Daddy ko, may napansin ako.. Lumapit kami sa may table nila pero hindi niya ako napansin.

"Who is she?" Avery asked. I just smile.

"Oh!" Divya reacted. Mukhang nahulaan na niya.

"Don't tell me?" Kira asked confusedly. Napatingin ako sa katabing table namin at saktong patalikod siya sa table namin kaya lumapit ako at..

"Gosh! Look what you did to my dress!" I bumped into her, intentionally. "You again?!"

"Look what you did to her dress!" her friend said.

"And what are you doing here? You don't belong here." she said. Tumawa naman ang mga kaibigan niya. "Umalis kana dito, bago kita ipahiya sakanilang lahat." ang hangin naman. Hmmm..

"Hey!" sigaw ni Divya, pero pinigilan ko sila.

"Look at your self, ang pangit ng soot mo! Hindi ka nababagay sa ganitong lugar! Get lost you ugly rat."

Lumapit ako sakanya, umatras naman siya. "Yes I will leave." ngumiti naman siya, tyaka ko siya tinalikuran, sumama naman ang mga kaibigan ko.

"Ma'am buti nahanap kita, magsisimula na po.." someone said..

"Now, may we all stand and give a round of applause for the heiress of the Smith. Let's all welcome... Zahara Smith!" naglakad ako papunta sa gitna ng stage. I looked at her, she's looking at me with wide eyes. I think it's my turn to smirk at her.
