Not His Type

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

The last time I was here I got my heart broken, so I wonder why I'm that brave to even come back here.

"Are you sure about this?" Liam asked me.

I arrived with Robin and Liam dahil hindi daw makakapunta si Natalia. She didn't want to go, actually. She's mad at Zade, I think. Anyway, ang family members lang na nandito ay si Zues at Karina. Tito David and Tita Camilla didn't want to go dahil puro bata daw ang pupunta ngayon. I think they already celebrated last night, with Gale.

"Yes." Sagot ko sa tanong niya.

"What will you do once you're already inside?" Seryosong tanong ni Robin.

I just smiled at him. To be honest, ako din, hindi ko alam kung anong magagawa ko oras na makapasok ako sa loob. But what I want to do right now is to be clear with my feelings. I might need a little help, though.

Nang makapasok kami sa loob ng condominium ni Zade, hindi agad namin nakita ang may-ari ng bahay. Maybe he's busy entertaining other guests. There were a lot of foreigners, siguro sila yung sinasabi ni Gale na galing France. Pumunta sila Robin sa mga kaibigan nila, habang ako naman ay hinahanap sila Karina. She texted me na nasa kwarto daw sila ni Zade nags-stay. Ayoko naman pumasok dun kaya lumabas nalang muna ako sa veranda niya pagkatapos kong kumuha ng wine.

Natawa ako bigla nang maalala ko kung paano ako pinagalitan ni Natalia kanina. She was so angry at me dahil bakit pa daw ako pupunta sa party ni Zade. She was so close at locking me up inside her house.

"So sinong tanga?" Di naman ako informed na invited pala ang asawa ni hudas kong kapatid.

"Bakit ka nandito?" I asked Sandra.

"Bakit, bawal? Excuseeee me, plus one ako ni Liam." Sagot niya. Oh my god, so nagtagal pala sila ni Liam. Anyway, I have no say sa lovelife ni Sandra and nasabihan ko na siya once about how much of a playboy Liam is pero mukhang ayaw makinig, fine, bahala siya masaktan. "Ikaw ang dapat tanungin, why are you here? Martyr? Anyway, what is that girl doing, acting as if she owns this place."

Based on where she's looking, mukhang si Gale ang tinutukoy niya. I couldn't agree more with what she just said. If I didn't know the two of them, I would've probably guessed that they're a married couple.

"That girl said she has an announcement to make." Then Sandra looked at me seriously and asked, "Are you prepared for it?"

"Why should I prepare myself? Am I going to a war or something?" I said to her.

She laughed, "This girl, nasasaktan na't lahat lahat, nagagawa pa din maging pilosopo. By the way, I kind of babbled a little to Mom."

Napatingin agad ako sa kanya, "Oh no you didn't."

"Yes, I did. She wants to see you real soon. You know, to comfort you and stuff."

"Ughhh, ang daldal mo talaga."

"Come on, let her be a mother to you. Di niya kasi nararanasan mag-comfort ng anak kasi alam mo naman ako, never pa na broken hearted." I just rolled my eyes at her. And here I thought she was really concerned about me, gusto lang pala mag-yabang.

Maya-maya, nakita kong hinihila ni Gale si Zade papunta sa gitna. Sandra and I went inside dahil mukhang ito na ang announcement. She called everybody's attention by hitting the wine glass. Lumapit si Liam and Robin sa'kin na para bang bodyguards ko sila.

This is it, after this announcement, malalaman ko na kung anong gagawin ko.

"Are you finally announcing your marriage?" One girl asked Gale. Napa-oh my god naman si Sandra, typical chismosa reaction. I kept my cool.
