"Sean? Long time no see !" Niyakap ko ng mahigpit ang pinsan ko.
Katatapos ko lang magpa enrol kaya humabol din siya. We are now both third year college with a different courses.
"Yo!" He hugged me back.
"What's new?" He look at me from head to toe"aside from your newly curly hair?" He even laugh at me.
"Well, just closed a five-million deal with the client. Not to brag but I will be having another client to meet tomorrow." Balita ko sa kanya.
He already knows that I can handle business well. From offering to closing deals. My parent's business is based on banks. We are handling an international banking system.
"Good to know that. Any good news other than that?" He ask again
I smirk for the fact that he is asking an obvious question.
"Shane cut her hair short---"
"I have to go now" putol niya sa sasabihin ko.
"Almost time to practice. See yah!"
I haven't said anything yet.
I smiled again. He is asking about his ex, who is actually my close friend.
Naglakad na ako papunta sa parking area nang mapansin kong may taong nkatayu sa harapan ng sasaksyan ko. The way she stands up I am pretty sure that is Stassy.
As I am about to call her name, she looked my way. My smile becomes wider and the excitement is pretty obvious in my eyes.
"Xaaaaillllha!"
"Staaaaaasss"
Sabay yakap ng mahigpit sa isa't-isa.
"How's your summer vacation?--"
"How's your summer vacation?--"
Nagtawanan pa kami ng magsabay kaming magsalita.
"I went to Palawan and then to Europe. I spend most of the time in Europe with my cousins and it was so effing fun!" Kwento niya saakin.
"I was in Norway with my parents but I have to spend most of the days doing nothing." Balita ko na.
"That is so sad, anyways, since you are already here, how about the others?" Pumasok na kami sa sasakyan ko.
"Shane called me last night, Carina is still missing hahaha." I started the engine.
"Yeah, I called Dino the other day, hindi pa daw siya uuwi muna ng Pinas."
I feel sad when I heard that.
"He told me, if he will have time he can visit us here" Stassy trying to cheer me up.
"Yeah?" Sabi ko nalang. We are heading to the nearest coffee shop.
Nkapag park naman agad kami. Umupo kami si VIP seat. Ever since we became friends hindi na ako nag iisang umuupo dito sa VIP seat.
Um-upo na ako at hinayaan na si Stassy nalang ang mag order para saaming dalwa.
Stassy Jean Santiago she is now 18 year old. Like me she is a 3rd year College student too.
Pagkabalik niya sa table namin ay agad siyang umupo.
"Where are the others?" Napalingun ako bigla ng marinig ang pamilyar na boses.
Agad akong yumakap kay Carina.
Carina Reñee Tyson. Siya ang babaeng hindi mu papangaraping maka-away. Her attitude might kill you. But since we have been friends for a long time, I somehow can manage to slap her mouth!
Haha just kidding.
"Shane texted me, on the way na daw siya." Sagot naman ni Stassy.
"So, how's summer vacation Cah?"
Cah, short for her Carina.
"I went to Cebu to do something." Bored na bored na sabi naman nito.
"So, what did you do?" Dumating yung order namin.
Nagtaka pa ako kung bakit apat na baso ng kape ang meron.
"Thanks" mahinang sabi ni Stassy sa waitress na nagdala.
"Nagbilang ng buhangin." Sarcastic na sagot ni Carina.
"Really???" May panlalake pa ng mga mata si Stassy.
"What did you do during your vacation?" Sabay higop sa kape si Carina.
Nagkwentohan lang naman kami ng mga pinaggagawa namin nung bakasyun. Walang masyadong excitement na nangyari sa aming lahat. Mas lalo na at si Carina ang nagke-kwento. Lahat boring sa kanya.
After a long day with them, ay ako pa rin ang naghatid sa kani-kanilang bahay.
How dare them!
Pagpasok ko sa aking pink na pink na town house ay napangiti ako.
This is the first thing I bought from being a business woman at the very young age.
Lahat ng bagay na gustuhin ko nakukuha ko nang walang alinlangan. But there're times that I can't insist when my parents is involve.
Haish
I blew a sigh. A disappointed one.
"Ang lalim nun ah?"
Napalingon ako sa nagsalita sa likuran ko. Hindi ko alam kung anu ang nauna kung reaction, either shock or ang pag angat ng mga labi ko.
Lumakas pa lalo ang heart beat ko nang ngumiti ang kaharap ko.
"Xaillha I've been hearing a lot of things about you--"
"Diiiiinnnnnnoooooo." Napatakbo pa ako para yakapin siya ng mahigpit.
Ohmo!
When was the last time I hugged this guy?
When was the last time I saw him smile?
When was the last time I smelled his scent?
When was---
Napasigok na ako sa sobrang tuwa na makita siya ulit.
"Ooy bakit ka umiiyak? " natatawang tanong pa niya saakin kahit alam ko na alam niya ang dahilan.
"It's been A long time Dino! Where the hell have you been?" Tanong ko sa kanya at kumalas sa yakap niya.
"I missed you so much! WE missed you much!" Sabi ko pa.
"Well I have missed you too. And the others."
Pinapasok ko siya sa bahay ko.
Marami rami kaming updates na gagawin. Kaya tinawagan ko na rin ang iba naming kaibigan.
Dahil I am not much of a kitchen person, kaya nag order na lang muna ako ng makakain naming lahat. Nakakahiya sa mga bwesita eeh.
Wala pang halos half hour ay nagdatingan na ang aming mga kaibigan.
Muntikan nga rin na magka iyakan din sila. Can't help it, halos isang taon na hindi nagpapakita saamin si Dino.
Tragic things happened that almost made him isolate his self from his environments. Even from us.
Since we have been together for a very long time kaya kahit kami ay nahirapan sa pag layu niya.
After a short conversation, we have decided na mag celebrate sa labas ng bahay ko.
Natuwa pa ako nang mag presenta si Shane na siya ang taya.
Pumasok kami sa paboritong bar ni Stassy, kaya naman dere-deretso lang kami sa pagpasok.
And the party just started!
