*POV ni KEVIN*
Papasok nako sa lobby when I heard someone yelling.
“Who the fuck gave that to you?! I want to have a talk sa kung sino man ang nagbigay sayo niyan! Asan siya?!”
Ellie? Oh God. >.<
Bakit niya sinisigawan si Anna?
Nilapitan ko sila para malaman ang problema “What’s going on here?”
Tiningnan ako ni Anna na parang walang alam sa nangyayari. Hinigit ni Ellie ang braso ko.
“Babe! Ba’t ngayon ka lang? I’ve been waiting for you mula kanina (pout-pout). By the way...look at this girl (turo kay Anna)! She copied my dress design! Pakulong natin siya!”
Napatingin sakin si Anna ng marinig niya ang word na ‘Babe’.
Inalis ko ang pagkaka hawak ni Ellie sa braso ko at nilapitan si Anna. Hinawakan ko kamay niya.
“Honey. I want you to meet Ellie, my classmate and thesis partner nung 4th year college.”
Nabigla si Ellie sa sinabi ko
“Honey mo siya (Turo kay Anna)?”
“Yes. Ellie this is Anna. My girlfriend.”
“What?! This (Tingin kay Anna from head to toe) copycat girl is your girlfriend?! Ako ang girlfriend mo Kevin not her!”
“Hey pare! Ba’t ngayon lang kayo?” Sabi ni Cedric
“Traffic (di man haha).”
“Anna! You look stunning!”
“Kilala mo siya?!” Tanong ni Ellie kay Cedric
“Of course! Girlfriend siya ng bestfriend ko.”
I looked at Anna at parang di parin siya makapaniwala sa mga pinagsasabi ni Ellie “Tara. Let’s go inside.” Sabi ko kina Ellie and Cedric
“I will not go inside hangga’t hindi magpapalit ng damit yang babaeng yan!
“Ellie, don’t make a scene ok? Pareho lang naman kayo ng damit e. Magkaiba naman ang kulay. Di naman problema yan.”
“The two of us wearing the same dress is already a scene! If you guys wear the same clothes ok lang sainyo pero saming mga babae...it’s an issue! (Lingon kay Anna) At ikaw gf ni Kevin? You’re kidding me di ka man nga mukhang marunong mag english tapos papatulan ka niya. Hahahaha cheap.”
Hinigpitan ni Anna ang pagkahawak niya sa kamay ko. Halatang galit.
“It’s true Cedric. Malaking issue saming mga girls if we’re both wearing the same dress in a party. Pero I will not change my dress just for you Miss Ellie...whatever your surname is. And let me tell you one thing, hindi naman sa mukha makikita ang kakayahan ng isang tao. I’m not just a stuffing for some eye catching dress. You called me cheap? You’re the one who’s yelling at the top of your lungs just because of an exclusive designer dress. So it’s you who looks cheap co’z you’re making a scene. And by the way, you want to talk to the person who gave me this? Kevin gave this dress to me and also this pair of shoes. Would my explanation suffice now?”
Woah! Scary. Tumakbo ka na Ellie AHAHAHAHA!
“What?!” Asar na sabi ni Ellie
“Di mo maintindihan? Oh well...I think you need to retake your English1 then.”
