II- His Birthday 1

Dedicated to my sistah theAmazingChardawn 🙂😘

April 7,2017

Today is a special day to a very special person. It's been 2 months since they last saw each other. It was in Hihintayin Kita sa Langit movie restoration premiere to be exact, yet there's an awkward silence that only them can distinguish.

Dawn is getting herself ready for her Marie France weekly body treatment and she asked Viv to accompany her.

Dawn is playing with her phone. This time, she tried her best to be calm but few minutes she glances up and out behind her as she waited for her best friend/ manager to arrive.

Why is it that I don't have the guts to greet him? Dati naman okay lang.

She told herself.

Why would I greet him? Ni hindi na nga ulit nagparamdam after the premiere.

She sighed and pouted.

"Dawn? You okay?" Kanina mo pa pinaiikot-ikot yang phone mo. Baka mahilo na yan."

"Oh hi Viv! Yes, I'm fine." She lied and faked a smile.

"Kanina ka pa dumating?"While making her beso.

"Mga 5 minutes pa lang naman."She smiled.

"Anong araw nga ngayon Dawn?."She added.

"It's April 7." While looking at her phone.

"Parang may Birthday."Viv teased.
"Kaninong Birthday nga?"

This time her brows met.

"Oh, bakit di ka makasagot? Di ba ikaw naman magaling when it comes to your friends' birthday?"

"Nang-aasar ka talaga Viv. Alam mo naman kung sino eh." Dawn pouts.

"Na?" While raising her hands as if she doesn't know yet the answer.

"Na birthday niya."

She immediately stood up of her chair and looked at herself in front of the mirror.

"Miss na miss ko na siya Viv. Kung alam mo lang."

Tears streaked down her cheeks.

"Alam mo Dawn, wala na naman tayong magagawa na, kasi he's tied up with his responsibilities. Being a mayor is not a joke and you know that because."

She walked closer to her to tap her back.

"Yes because Anton had gone through Politics and I'm glad that he's so done with it. I know Viv."

"Oh yun naman pala. Alam mo, kung miss mo na siya, edi tawagan mo." She smiled sarcastically.

Dawn looked at her like a child that begs for a favor. A puppy look to be exact.🐶

"I don't like the way you look at me."

"But Viv? Please? Ikaw na lang mag greet sa kanya at sama mo na lang ako.Please?"She begged.

Like the saying goes, "A true friend knows the sound of your heart even when you speak no words at all."

Viv immediately grab Dawn's phone and locked herself inside the wash room.

"Dawn, pahiram saglit ah."

She immediately dialed Richard's number.

Dawn didn't expect that to happen. She thought that she'll use a good alibi. But not on using her phone just to text him.
