And Then He Cheated

6

Hindi namin namalayan ang oras dahil sa aliw at aliw kami sa mga kwento ni Aling Mely tungkol sa pagmamahalan nila ng asawa niya. They both became to a family who can't afford everything. Pangawalang beses na pala ang pagkaka stroke ni Manong Jojo. Sa pagkakataong ito malabo nang makapaglakad pa siya uli pero kahit ganun ay kailangan pa din niya ng therapy. Lininisan ko pang muli yung sugat ni Daboy bago kami nagdesisyong umuwi. It's dark outside. Cold breeze started to caress my skin.

"Uuwi na kayo agad? Maaga pa naman ah, wanna go party?" Dianne smirked.

May ilang nagpaalam saamin dahil may mga family dinner sila. Habang ako, si Dianne at Amy ay nanatiling nakatayo.

"Don't tell me pati ikaw Aviane ay uuwi na din? Come on don't bore your life just because you're single" she rolled her eyes.

"Did i say something like that?" Pinandilatan ko siya ng mata.

"Omg! Should we text Derrek and Rose?" She excitedly pulled me towards her.

"It's up to you, how about you Amy? Makakasama ka ba saamin?" liningon ko siya, nginitian naman niya ako.

"Hindi ko pa naman curfew kaya sige pero dapat before 12 nakauwi na ako"

"Great! Tara, mag grab nalang tayo kapag tatawagan ko pa yung driver namin baka abutin pa tayo ng ilang oras" hinila kami ni Dianne sa braso. Nailing nalang ako bago ko pinadalhan ng mensahe si Ate para ipaalam sakanyang male late akong uuwi. Wala naman akong natanggap na reply sakanya. I just shrugged my shoulders, maybe she's busy.

"Where should we go? Sa dati ba?" tanong ko kay Dianne habang nakamasid sa labas ng bintana. Street lights are dancing in the dark.

"Hindi, may nasearch ako kaninang bagong open. We should try there. Maganda yung place and puro positive yung mga comments tungkol sa bar na yun. Tsaka sayang din yung free cocktails ngayon" Dianne chuckled when she said the word free.

"How about Rose and Derrek? Makakapunta ba sila?"

"Hindi daw. Okay lang yan tatlo naman tayo tsaka hindi naman tayo magtatagal" i looked at her, trying to read her mind. "SANA..." she gave up. I knew it! Basta talaga partying si Dianne ang pambato namin.

"Do you guys always go out?" tanong samin ni Amy na kanina pa tahimik.

"Nah not every time, minsan lang kung may time kami at walang masyadong requirements sa school" Dianne answered.

"Honestly i always admire your friendship.. that's the kind of friendship everyone needs to have" mahinang sabi ni Amy.

"You can join us sometimes if you feel like you're suffocated with your circle of friends" pinisil ko yung kamay niyang nakapatong sa kandungan niya.

"Thanks Aviane.." ginantihan niya ng isang marahang pisil yung kamay ko.

Hanggang sa makarating kami sa sinasabing bar ni Dianne ay tahimik lang kami. Siguro ay kumukuha din sila ng enerhiyang nawala kanina sa ginawa namin kanila Daboy. That kid. He's an amazing kid, its just sadden me the fact that he's not that lucky in his life.

Nang makarating kami sa mismong lugar ay agad kaming namangha sa itsura nito. Outside was dark but you can eventually hear the loud music inside. It has this black and red exterior design, having the name of the bar engraved in the top of the building. Planet G. Matapos kaming masuotan nang wristband nung bouncer ay nakangiti kaming pumasok sa loob.

Smokes. People. Liquor and dancing people blocked our sights. Compared to other bars we went before this bar is more alive. Every second is not wasted because of its busy services and i can say that people are enjoying.
