CHAPTER 11

TIFFA’S POV @ the condo..

***It’s Friday, bukas na yung event namin sa company kaya nagshopping kami ni stef at liz. They are my BFFs kaya invited din sila. Kilala din ni grandma yung mga parents nila kaya parang part na rin sila ng family. Dito na nga rin pala sila mag-sleep over para maaga palang makapag ayos na kami and syempre sabay sabay kami magpunta sa venue.

Stef: tiffa, diba invited mo din yung mom ni kei, so baka sumama si kei?

Tiffa: Ne. [ne=yes]

Stef: so, any plans?

Tiffa: ahmm..wala eh.. bahala na..

Liz: do you regret na ininvite mo yung mom nya?

Tiffa: of course not, kahit naman pala hindi ko ininvite, si grandma naman ang mag-iinvite sa kanila eh.

Liz: oh.. magkakilala pala sila.

Tiffa: ahmm.. not actually, siguro because of business lang kaya sila kilala ni grandma.

THE DAY OF EVENT

***We woke up early, sa rooftop kami ng bldg. nagbreakfast, may resto kasi dun at maganda ang ambiance para kasing ginawa nilang garden, may mga palm trees and may pool din. After breakfast, nagpunta kami ng parlor, dito din yun sa bldg. namin, that’s one of the reasons kaya dito kami bumili ng condo, kumpleto na kasi. May resto, pool, parlor, at gym. Pina-style namin yung hair namin tapos nagpa-manicure and pedicure, then bumalik na kami sa unit ko. Gusto kasi namin kami na ang mag make up sa sarili namin. We enjoy making ourselves pretty eh. Nagbihis na din kami, we also matched our dress with jewelries. We wear the new collections, the ones tha we will be launching today in the event. I’m in a black mini dress, stef in beige and liz in purple. When we’re ready, dumating na yung sundo naming driver then hinatid na kami sa Resorts World, dun yung venue.pagdating namin nakaabang yung personal secretary ni grandma para iguide kami, papuntang eventhall, madami-dami na rin kaing guest ang dumating. Malayo palang natanaw ko si Kei. Wait! May kausap syang girl, nakatalikod kasi, hindi ko tuloy Makita yung mukha. Hmmm..  they look close…issshhh.. anu bang pakielam ko.. then habang tinitingnan ko sila biglang lumingon yung girl..

Tiffa: Omo! Ö.Ö

(The girl rush towards me, she almost jump to me.. she gave me a hug.)

“Tiff!!! I Mishooooooo!”

Tiffa: unnie, you’re here?!? [unnie=ate, yeah she’s my older sister, she is Cassie]

Cassie: yah! Aren’t you happy to see me???

Tiffa: I’m just surprised.. when did you arrived?

Cassie: yesterday, I just want to surprise you and I did it. Hahahaha..

(Muntik na naming makalimutan na may iba pa lang tao. The last time I saw her was.. hmmm.. I think almost a year ago, it’s when I had a vacation in korea and she happened to have photoshoot there.)

Tiffa: oh! Kasama ko nga pala yung dalawa..

Stef & Liz: hello.. unnie.

Cassie: long time no see.. you all look gorgeous..

Stef & liz: thanks..

Stef: you also look stunning, unnie

Cassie: of course! I need to, part of my career.. hahaha..

Tiffa: hindi ka parin nagbabago

Cassie: oh, si Kaien nga pala..

(Hinaltak nya to papunta samin para iintroduce )

Liz: ahmm.. unnie, we know him already.

Cassie: really?

Stef: schoolmates..

Cassie: oh I see..

Liz: unnie, how did you know him?

Cassie: we’re both models and nagkasama na kami before, sa Manhattan

Stef: what a coincidence

(Si kei tahimik lang, tumingin sya sa kin pero umiwas ako ng tingin, ako din tahimik lang kaya parang nakahalata si unnie)

Cassie: ahmm.. Tiffa, nandun nga pala si Mom (tinuro nya si mom at kasama naman sya ni grandma)

Tiffa: oh sige, puntahan ko muna sya. Girls, let’s go. (Inaya ko si Stef at Liz, .. yes!nakaiwas na rin ako kay Kei)

***Naging maayos yung event, nakita ko din yung mama ni kei, at natuwa naman sya kaya gusto makipagcollaborate kila grandma sa isang fashion show. Nagdinner nga pala ako kasama si grandma, unnie and mom, at nung pauwi may inabot sakin si unnie na maliit na paper bag, as in maliit talaga. Pinapasoli daw ni Kei. Nung tiningnan kung anu yung laman nandun yung flashdrive at kasama nun yung earring na pinahiram k okay Kei, nakalimutan ko na nga yung about dun eh. Nung tiningnan ko yung earring parang nalungkot ako, siguro naalala ko yung kulitan times nung filming namin, haixt, kahit papano nag enjoy talaga ako nun. Nakakamiss din pala.

AT THE CONDO

***Online na naman ako pagdating sa condo at kachat ko na naman ang dalawa kong BFFs. Matagal tagal ko na silang kachat nung maalala namin na bukas pala ipapasa yung powerpoint presentation, by group naman yung at sila kagroup ko.

Liz: hey, buti na gwa n nten ung ppt ng advnce. :D

Tiffa: oo nga eh..

Stef: i-email ko nlng sau tiffa, pa save s flashdrive J

Tiffa: sure, NP ^_____^

***Nung isasave ko na sa flashdrive yung ppt, may napansin ako na isang folder dun at ang file name pa eh “PLEASE OPEN IT” because of my curiosity, I opened the file inside it. It’s like a slideshow with instrumental na background music and between each pictures may captions. Laha t puro picture ko na stolen. It’s my picture everytime na may marereceive akong gift from him. Grabe, I really don’t know na kinukuhanan pala ako ng pictures. I continued watching it and reading the captions/message for me. “Tiffa, I’m really happy seeing your smiles, I’m thankful na kahit papaano your accepting my gifts that I’m sending to you kahit alam ko na you don’t want to accept my feelings for you. Sorry kung nagulat ka sa mga pictures ha, may pagka stalker na yata ako kaya lang gusto ko lang Makita at ma-treasure yung reactions mo kapag narereceive mo yung mga bigay ko”

***As I read it, I can’t stop the tears flowing from my eyes. I don’t know what’s the reason, maybe its because of guilty or conscience. Ipinagpatuloy ko lang yung panunuod. There are also pictures of us when we’re filming our project at of course may nakasulat rin sa baba nung mga pics.

“Eventhough we knew each other in a short time, the moments we share together seems priceless and I remember every single detail of every encounter we had. Thank you. Saranghae”
