Days passed, and I was just a few days away from leaving London. Our brothers asked for presents, so I spent a few days shopping for them. I'd already informed Daphne and Jeoff that I'd be leaving on Saturday this week.
"All right, would you want to have a farewell party?" Daphne said, seemingly out of nowhere. I wrinkled my brows and tilted my head. Where did she get that?
"What? That's unnecessary, Daphne. We don't have to do that," I remarked, taking a mouthful of my flatbread.
We're at a café in Regent's Park, where the university I'm supposed to attend is located. Sayang, I'm not going to take my first year here. The location is surrounded by nature, and I felt completely at ease here. For example, right now.
"Internet. Just stumbled onto it when searching for things Filipinos do," she said as she ate her Caesar salad.
"That's unnecessary, okay?"
"Oh, come on! I know you love parties, and we both love parties! Let's just do it, okay? It'll be unforgettable since that'll be your final party here in England, isn't it brilliant?" she exclaimed. No, it is not. Gagastos lang.
"If you're worried about the expenses, don't worry, I'll take care of it." She said, grinning.
"Bahala ka," I rolled my eyes to her.
She gave me a glance as she leaned in. "I told you not to speak a foreign language to me! What if you're already cursing me?" she complained. "Besides, this celebration is for your brothers because you're leaving with them, right?" I nodded.
"You do whatever you want, but don't expect me to show up to the party, okay?" I finished my flatbread while she merely glared at me.
"I hate you," she said in a low voice at tinarayan ako.
Kuya Erice video called with us much too early the next day. He's been contacting us nonstop since 10 a.m. Oh my goodness, I'm still sleepy!
[Shay, come on! You should go to the party!] Kuya Erice said as he walked down the street.
[Worry about yourself, Erice. Don't be so tanga, baka mabundol ka.] Kuya Topher said while on his break from a photoshoot.
[I am not, okay?] Kuya Erice assured us at maya-maya ay may narinig kaming busina.
I can't help but laugh. Hindi daw? Oh my gosh! Haha!
[Damn it, Kuya Michael!] He said and I looked at Kuya Michael's screen, he's on his car. I think pumasok si Kuya Erice sa sasakyan ni Kuya Michael kaya binaba niya yung tawag. Maya-maya ay si Kuya Erice na ang may hawak ng phone ni Kuya Michael. [Fuck you!]
Kuya Michael could be heard laughing hysterically. They like teasing one other.
