Daji

I have to stay quiet. Everything I hear in the place where I was is getting louder every minute that I stay. Hindi natatapos ang gabi ko kapag hindi ko nakukuha ang gusto ko. I don't care how hard it is. The ending of it is more satisfying. I really can't stop looking at the bartender who was serving me my drink at the moment. He has perfect set of eyes and it was seductive. His nose was chiseled and created together with his perfect set of teeth when he smiles. I can't stop staring at him. He was waking my senses up. Nakakalibog para sa mga nagbabasa diyan na mahilig sa libog. Haha!

Seriously, hindi ako makadiskarte sa kanya. Hindi ko mabasa sa kanyang mukha na nakukuha ko ang kanyang atensyon. Then I suddenly felt someone holding my shoulders.

"Daji? Why are you here alone? Come on, join us.. Andun si Mark at George sa isang table." pagtataka agad ng pamilyar na boses sakin. It was Vernon. My college friend and he was with the gang.

Being Daji Lee is a very hard shoe to fit in.. Isa kang anak mayaman na nakukuha ang lahat ng gusto. You look very handsome that even old women will try to taste you. Gross! And above all that.. I am sexually hungered for guys. Handsome guys. And this bartender I am facing right now is the first one that I cannot land my appeal on. Hindi siya tinatablahan ng aking kagwapohan.. This is disastrous..

"Am I getting ugly now Vern?" bigla kong natanong kay Vernon na ngayon ay naghihintay parin na sumama ako sa kanya.

"Hahaha! Ang isang Daji Lee nagtatanong kung pumapanget na siya? Aba? First time ata nawala ang confidence mo bro?" pang aasar pa sakin ni Vernon.

"Hays! Tara na nga.. Kakabwesit naman.. Bakit ba kasi kayo nandito? Sa dami ng bar sa Metro dito pa talaga?"

Tumawa nalang nang tumawa si Vernon hanggang sa marating namin ang kinaroroonan ng dalawa pa naming barkada noong college.

We all live comfortably. Mayayaman din ang mga kaibigan ko. They are all successful in their own field. Engineer si Vernon. Architect si Mark at Hotelier naman si George. And I am the newly appointed CEO of CTRL Enterprises. Its a huge company that produces different softwares and hardwares for computers and other electronic products. And I still don't have that any interest of the business my father built 20 years ago.

"Tingnan mo nga naman.. Ang pinakagwapo ng barkada ay kasama namin ngayon." salubong agad ni Mark ng makita niya kaming palapit sa kanilang mesa. Lumaki na ang katawan ng kumag na dati ay patpatin at hindi halos kumakain kakagawa ng plates niya. He was starving himself for greatness at ngayon nga ay isa na siya sa pinakamagagaling sa buong bansa.

"And the gayest of all.. We all know about that." sabay hagalpak ng tawa ni George. Nakakaasar siya minsan kaya siya ang hindi talaga close sakin. He is only joining the circle dahil bestfriends sila ni Vernon since grade school palang kami. He owns a hotel that has 5 branches all over the country. He is a great guy though. And alam nilang tatlo ang tungkol sakin. But it is just between the four of us. I will have more time to tell about that story.

"Tama na yan mga bro.. We are here to enjoy the night diba?" pagpapaluwag ng atmosphere ni Vernon.

Kinuha ko ang isang wine glass at naglagay ako ng Bourbon. They ordered a very high class liqour na mabilis na nagpapalasing. I cannot go home wasted and without a score tonight.

"So how was the business of your Dad going now that you are the CEO? Ang bigtime mo na agad ah? Akala ba namin mag aartista ka? That was your passion diba?" sunod sunod na tanong sakin ni Vernon. He was looking at me directly. Hindi ko alam pero sa kanilang tatlo, sa kanya talaga ako naging close. But I always distance myself from him. He always try to do things randomly kaya ayaw kong masiyado akong nalalapit sa kanya physically.
