Hi, Ako Si Clairina

Chapter 11

Sixteen

Andito ako sa bahay. Sa kuwarto. Bored. Tinitingnan ko ang mini chandelier.

Well, I'm not sure kung matatawag siyang chandelier.

Tomorrow is my day. Bongga ang celebration yet kaunti lang naman ang mga taong pupunta. Just me, mom, dad, Ella, and four of her friends.

I asked her kung pwede makipag kaibigan dun sa mga friends niya and she said yes. We hang out for some time for the past days. They're kind and so different compared to my friends in Japan.

Well, sabagay. Mas formal kami sa Japan. Mas mafeel ko ang freedom ko dito.

Kershey is a conscious friend. Madali siyang makonsensiya.

Arxine is madaldal. Well, not sure. Mostly kasi madaldal siya pero may times din na di niya gustong iopen ang bibig niya.

Felliesha is maarte. Pero di sya OA. Uhmm, maarte, as in mahilig sa make ups. Di rin makapal na make up.

Lahat sila, plus Ella, ay caring. They care at each other. Kahit di sila always complete, still close.

Kinabukasan...

Nandito na ako sa party room, wearing a mint green dress.

Well, sa bahay namin cinelebrate birthday ko. May party room kasi kami.

Dumating na sina Ella.

She's wearing a pastel colored orange dress, while Felliesha is wearing a pastel purple dress.

Arxine is wearing a light pink skirt with a white shirt, and Kershey is wearing an orange skirt and a white sleeveless top.

"Happy birthday Clairina! "

Sabay nilang sabi tas binigay ang mga gifts sa akin.

I gasped nung nalaman kong may sariling gift sila sa akin.

Sa Japan kasi si Miyu lang may gift sa akin habang si Naomi ay nakikikain lang.

"Wooaa thank you so much girls!  I really appreciate it"

"No prob. Ang ganda mo talaga! "

"Syempre Arxine! Wala namang panget sa mundo ah? "

"Sabagay Kersh"

Ayun. So, we chatted, played some games like spin the bottle, nag 369 game rin kami. May mga games na bago ko lang natutunan. Masaya. Tawanan dito, daldal doon.

Mom and dad left after eating. Trabaho raw. Anyways, sanay naman ako.

"Okay!  Time to open your present!  Mine's first! "

Sigaw ni Kershey. I opened it up and

Woa

"I love it!  Thanks Kersh! "

"No problem"

It's a wrist watch na parang bracelet with butterflies.

"Next is miiine! "

Sigaw ni Arxine

"Thank you for the purse Arxine! "

She smiled sweetly at me

"My turn"

Pagkatanggap ko ng gift ni Felliesha ay inopen ko yun agad.

"As expected X)  thanks Felliesha! "

"Sure! "

She gave me a lip tint, eye liner, mini mirror, and others.

And lastly...

"Hi Clairina... This is all I can give to you... "

She smiled and gave me the small box...

When I opened the box, inside of it is a necklace...

Wait.

I think it's a locket....

Oh, it is...

I opened it and a picture of me at the right side appeared. Walang nakalagay sa left side..

"Thanks Ella"

Natapos ang birthday ko. I was sooo happy. Dumating ang parents ko after an hour I guess?

"Hi mom! "

I greeted happily...

"Hello. So kumusta ang party? "

"It's good mom. We all had fun. They gave me gif--"

"Good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm still busy right now. If you need me, I'll be in the office. Happy birthday again sweety! "

She cutted me and could still talk formally. She smiled while saying those lines....

Oh well.

Bineso ko siya and dinala sa room ang lahat ng gifts.
