Then the guy walks away, his phone near his right ear.
"Oh sorry, I was about to introduce you to my son eh kaso may nag call nanaman. How old are you dear? Coz I believe he's as the same age as you." then I realized she was talking to me
"Oh! I'm 17 , be 18 at December 3"
"Wonderful! So what's the plan?"
Mama, Daddy and their colleagues look at me, expecting some bright answer but I think, was my 18th birthday really neccessary to celebrate that much? I'm getting older AGAIN but my height didn't increase even .5 inch T__T. So my birthday didn't excite me much. Habang tumatanda ako, lalo akong nawawalan ng pag asa na tatangakad ako. Buti na lang talaga babae ako haha :D
"Uhm nothing" I murmured
"She has no plans, may pasok kasi ang birthday nya" Mama answered for me
"Is that so" her tone was disappointed and I just nod "You know he turned 18 last September so ahead lang sya ng months!"
"Ah...."
At nung nag usap usap nanaman sila, I sneaked out of the circle holding a silver mask that I once wear a while ago coz I know it some kind of reminisce moments, being nostalgic and everything so I look for the nearest chair to rest my butt off.
Nung paupo na ko, may napansin akong scarf sa upuan and I pick it up. Bibigay ko na lang sa may ari ng upuan pag dumating sya.
"Hey! It's my chair" someone says behind my back
"Oh! Are you playing trip to Jerusalem or something?" I asked then stand, pull the chair and face him
"Here you go kiddo, I'm sorry I just want to take a rest for a bit" and I face him and smile. Yung eyes lang naman ang natatakpan ng mask so I believe he will see my sincerity. He smiles back coz he's wearing same mask as mine but gold.
"No I'm just kiddin! I just forgot my scarf so I tried to get back expecting my scarf to be here"
Then I realized, he was talking about the scarf I was holding to right now.
"Oh here you go" I gave him the scarf
"Thanks!" he said and accept it.
He smiles for a bit then suddenly pause. Analyzing something, he focused on me and nothing but me. Lumingon din ako sa likod ko baka may nahaharangan lang ako
"Uhm may problema ba?" I asked then he answered me by shaking his head
"Ok" then I leave
"Where are you going?" He said
"Try to get back on our table. It's hard to walk with this stupid stelletos na hindi naman ako talaga sanay"
"I can help you" he walk forward and offered his hand
"No thank you I can walk"
"Like a bride with sprains?"
"Yeah something like that. But thanks I can walk"
"No I insist" then he reached for my hands. Yup hands then his right arm wrap me behind my back and reach for my right hand. There's something familiar with his voice, physique and scent. He's wearing a mask so hindi ko talaga ma identify, but he reminds me of Kapre for some reason. But he's more gentleman compare to that jerk
We reached on our table and sit
"Thanks"
"Your welcome" and he take a bow
"Was that really neccessary?"
"Yes" then he stand and take a closer look at me
"what?" I gasped
