Fragile Heart

Chapter Three

Nasa function room parin kami ng buong team dahil hindi pa kami makakalabas kung hindi pa dismissal. We had 30 minutes more left and we were all busy with our phone playing games waiting to 5 pm.

It's all set for tonight. Lahat raw makakasama sa after party ni Isaac sa resto nila. It was suppose to be few people only pero dahil maingay itong Marvin na to Isaac had to ask his mom to prepare a lot of food.

I also told my mom about it at gulat akong pumayag siya agad. My mom doesn't usually agree with get together at malls or other places lalo nanpag walang susundo or kasama f kakilala niya. But shockingly she's fine with me going dahil kakilala niya raw niya ang may-ari ng resto. Me and my brother also made an agreement na kapag sabihin niya uuwi na kami at uuwi na dahil siya ang susundo saakin. I have no problem with that.

I'm a bit tired remembering the tiring game we had this morning. But ayoko maging kill joy sa mga kasama ko. I sometimes want to be out there than isolating myself from having fun. Teenager na din ako kaya I think its okay to have fun but not too much fun.

When the bell rung, kanya kanya namin kinuha ang mga bags namin and went out of the function room. Susunduin daw kami ng driver ni Eunice para ihatid kami sa La Quintos kaya we decided to wait outside the main gate para mabilis kaming mahanap ng driver niya. Nakisabay na din saamin sila Isaac at Marvin para raw di na sila gagastos for taxi. Its Eunice's choice kung ipapasama nila at pumayag naman siya.

Maingay, yan lang ang masasabi ko sa buong byahe namin. Marvin is the clown of the group. Aasarin niya ang kahit anong napansin niyang nakakaasar.

"Babe, aso ka ba?" He pokes marg on his shoulder. Agad naman need to a pinalo ang kamay ni Marvin to stop.

"Babe, aso ka ba?" He repeated. Inirapan siya ni Marg pero sumagot parin siya.

"Bakit?"

"Bakit aso ka? Aray!" Binatukan siya ni Marg sa joke niya. Tumawa kami dahil nag simula nang mag suksuhan ang dalawa.

Marvin always targets Marg with his jokes. Hindi ko alam kung may gusto ba to kay Marg dahil parati niya itong tinutukso more than he does with Eunice.

Our conversation the whole ride to La Quintos was about ourselves. Studies, basketball, family, friends. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit parang isang barkada kami kung umasta. Like we've know each other for so long. We felt comfortable with each other kahit ngayon lang sumama si Isaac saamin. Bagay silang maging kaibigan ni Marvin. Mga feeling close.

Hindi din nagtagal ay dumating na kami sa La Quintos. The first thing I notice when I went down the car was the structure of resto. Its gives a mexican kind of aura just by looking at it. Its exterior shouts what they're famous for. Of course its Mexican food.

Nang pumasok kami sa loob ay mas namangha ako sa ganda ng interior design ng resto. From its walls to its decorations. Kulang nalang ang mariachi band. Ilang minuto kaming nag hintay sa labas para sa kasama namin pero hindi pa dumadating ang mga kasama namin. Natraffic siguro or nahirapan makahanap ng taxi.
