The One that Got Away

TOTGA - The Party

We are almost complete. Magkasabay dumating si Maccoy at Elisse.

"Edward!!!" Sigaw ni Elisse with matching tili. "Kamusta ka na?" And sabay yakap sa akin.

"Ehemmmmm.. " and Mccoy give a ma fist bump. "Wazz up bro?"

"Okay lang ako. Kayo kamusta na? Ano sakalan na ba? I mean kasalan na ba? hahaha. Asaan ang forever third wheel niyo?" Sabi ko.

"Sino si Nikko? Naku isusumbong kita don. Baka magulat ka may girlfriend na yun." Sabi ni Elisse. "Oo nga. At mukang seryosohan na. Kasi ayun na sila oh." Dagdag naman ni Mccoy.

"Hey! Kamust na kayo mga Fafa!" Si Nikko with matching gay accent. "Wala pa rin pinagbago kahit na may girlfriend na. hahahah" I teased.

"Naku parlorista ko yan. Joke lang." Sabay akbay niya sa gf niya.

"Hmmmmm by the way highway, this is Mary. Walang Dale ha. Mary lang. " Sabay tawa at kindat sa akin.

"Loko ka talaga Nikko, ang galing mo talaga mang-asar." - Maccoy.

"Hi Edward, nice meeting you." And Mary and I shake hands.

"My pleasure. So anong pambobola ang ginawa sayo nitong si Nikko at napasagot ka?" I joke.

"Excuse me, ako ang niligawan niya." And all of us laugh.

"Kuya Nikko!!!!!" Tili ni Kisses at siyempre kasunod niya si Yongskie.

"Hellooo bebe. Kamusta ka na? So si Yong na talaga ang date mo ha? Eh ikaw Edward sino?" Tanong ni Nikko.

"Opkors Kuya. Hahanap pa ba ako ng iba? Siyempre inunahan ko na sila kay Seski.

Seski. That's the pet name given by Maymay to Kisses.

"Btw, ako ang date niya ngayong gabi. Hindi ba obvious?!" Singit ni Heaven with raisng of one eyebrow.

I almost forgot her. But I hate the tone that she used for Nikko.

"Oh, Hi Heaven. So it's you. So it is true after all?" sabi ni Mary.

And Heaven just smiled and grab my arm for us to sit down.

"What does she meant by that? Did you tell her something?"

"No I didn't." Then she look away.

I know there is something wrong.

Someone yanked at me then I saw Tanner in front of me. "Cora, you will ruin his clothes." Then I look at my back to see her. "Oh KJ ka talaga kahit kailan. I just missed this lil bro of us." She said.

"Hey, so how are you? Don't tell me he is your date?" I asked.

"Watch your tone bro. Ano ibig mo sabihin hindi ba ako karapat dapat na maginng ka-date ni Cora? Sorry to disappoint you bro but she is not my date. But I guess she is not yet here."

"Ay grabe inunahan ako ilaglag ni Tanner oh. Pero totoo hindi siya ang date ko. I have my own date." Then she flashed a wide smile and her ring finger. "My fiance."

"Wow! Congratulations!! Really? So where's the lucky man?"

"There he is." And when I look up I saw a man in a dashing suit. I guess he is also a model.

"Hon, this is Edward my brother from different parents. Edward, this is Eric my fiance." - Cora

I offer my hand and said "Nice meeting you Eric. And congratulations. You are one of the luckiest guy in the world for having her."

Eric grab my hands and said "Thank you. So who is this pretty lady beside you?"

"Hi, I am Heaven and I'm his date."
