DEFYING GRAVITY

CHAPTER 4

Di na kami nag abala ni Jhamai na sumakay. Nasa kabilang kanto lang kasi. Naglakad nalang kami. It's not hard for me to walk with heels, nasanay na. Ewan ko kay Jhamai at nag ika ika siya naglakad. Nice though. The fresh breeze here calms me. Nakikita ko na ang lote. Ang raming tao.

"Zymith, nakikinig ka ba?" iritadong tanong ni Jhamai.

"Sorry Jhamai. Gusto ko nang mag back out. Nakakatakot yung aura ng lugar. Tara na" sabi ko tsaka tumalikod. Bigla akong ginapangan ng kaba at takot. Shit.

"Zymith, anong---" di natapos na sabi ni Jhamai.

"Hi Zymith! How are you? I didn't know you went home. Ba't di sinabi ni Adulfo?" sabi ng mama ni Carter.

"Hello tita. Biglaan po kasi. Ako din ang may gusto na pumunta dito" sagot ko.

Shoot. Kung andito mama niya, andito din siya.

"Saan kayo pupunta?" tanong niya.

"Sa party po" sagot ni Jhamai.

"Oh really? Sabay na tayo. Hintayin lang natin si Carter" sabi niya sabay ngiti.

Hintayin lang natin si Carter

Andito siya. Andito ang prince charming ko— ex prince.

And as I walk towards his mom to tell her sana na we'll go ahead. A prince in his black suit appeared. My eyes stared at his... I'm drowning. Nasira ang stare game namin ng umubo si Jhamai.

"I think we should go. Late na tayo" sabi ni Jhamai.

"Yes, I think we should" sabi ng mama niya.

Nasa una kami ni Jhamai habang ang mag ina ay nasa likod. Tumindig ang mga balahibo ko sa likod ng may kumalabit sa akin.

"I didn't know you're going home" saad niya.

"Oh. Should you?" tanong ko habang nakangiti— pekeng ngiti.

"Oo nga. Should you?" tanong ni Jhamai.

Di na sumagot si Carter. That's right biv. Keep your mouth shut. He's about to speak when Jhamai pulled me.

"Putanginang Carter yun. After all he have done, magpasweet sweet siya? He didn't even told you the truth tapos nagdedemand siya na makaalam kung pupunta ka dito? Putangina!" sabi ni Jhamai sabay upo sa tabi ko. Gigil na gigil siya kay Carter dahil kanina. After namin nakarating dito, di ko na nakita si Carter.

Dumating na rin ang anak ni Jessica which happens to be Daniella. Daniella is one of my childhood friend, pero nag out of the country siya for good. Ngayon, kumakain nalang ako ng cake na kulay dugo pero masarap. Si Jhamaila naman, lagok nang lagok ng red wine. Naku! Kung ito malasing ewan ko lang.

"Pwede umupo dito?" tanong ni Carter. Wait... What?!

"At sino ka para tumabi?" tanong ni Jhamaila.

"Nang iwan siya, Jhamai" sabi ko sabay tawa.

"You don't know the whole story, Zy" kalmado niyang sabi.

"Because you didn't explain it to me. Duh!" tugon ko.

He sat beside me then my heart skipped a beat. Pinaglaruan ko ang cellphone ko at nagkunwaring nagtetext.

"Who are you texting?" tanong niya.

"The hell do you care?" sabi ko.

Sasagot na sana siya pero nag ring ang cellphone ko.

"Answer it. I think your boyfriend wants to talk to you" sabi niya.

"O-of course"

I looked at my phone and it is an unregistered number. Okay, here goes nothing! I answered it.

"Hello babe!" I said as happy as I can be. See now biv? I'm happy without you— or not.

"Hi babe" the person on the line said...

Wtf?!
