Party
"So hija, how's the food?" Tanong ni Mama. Tita Lex is not here, umuwi na siyang New York. Papa is in the center, nasa kaliwa nito si Mama. Ako naman ay sa tabi ni Mama kung saan katabi ko si One, infront of us is Mans beside Yurki na hindi maipinta ang mukha at si Yurki naman ay mukhang nag-eenjoy. And the newly engaged couple ay nasa tabi ni Yurki, in my side is Mockne, Syren and Martina.
"It's okay naman, Ma" I said. "Girls?"
"It's delicious, Tita. Nakakamiss po talaga ang luto ninyo" Si Mandy. "Then, come often here, nagbabakasyon ka di'ba?" Bahagya namang nabilaukan si Mandy.
"Here" Alok ni Yurki pero hindi nakatakas ang pagtirik ng mga mata nito. "So anak, ano nga ulit ang sasabihin mo?" Si Papa.
"We're in relationship po, Tito" It was One, I saw my Mama face turn bright red at natitili rin ito na parang teenager.
"I told you, Istor! I am so happy to the both of you and cheers to our newly engaged couple!" Sabay-sabay naming itinaas ang wine glass.
"And, Ma. Can we have a party here? Promise hindi po kami mag-iingay ng malakas, sa pool side lang kami." I said. Mama smiled. "Of course, but, One, take care of this woman. Mataas man ang tolerance nito sa alak ay alam mong babae pa rin ito. I trust you, hijo"
One nodded.
"You can have my word, Tita. At meron po sana akong hihilingin sa inyo ni Tito" I can sense nervousness in his voice, kaya pasimple kung hinawakan ang kamay niya.
"What is it, One?" Si Mama. "Can I have your daughter for a month? I will bring her back on New Year's eve. We will be in Hawaii for a month" Buo ang boses nito. Hindi manlang nagbago ang mukha ni Mama at Papa. Para bang alam na nilang yayain ako ni One.
"It will not be my decision, if my daughter agress with you. We agree too" Si Papa. I cleared my throat.
"I agree to him, Papa. We will be gone for next week" I said.
"Girl, sama ako!" Sabat ni Mandy. "I thought you miss Tita's cooking?" Si Yurki.
Nangangamoy tutol. "I can go naman anytime here, di'ba Tita?" Mama nodded. "And beside I am meeting someone there" She declared.
I saw how Yurki expression change, Moncke is enjoying the scene, mukhang may alam ito sa pagitan ng dalawa.
"Really, Mandy? I can company you there, I have friends there." Moncke said. Mas lalong dumilim ang mukha ni Yurki.
Oh, cousins.
"Thank you, Moncke. I really appreciate it, but thanks no thanks. I have my ways" Mandy said politely. I saw how Yurki say 'tss'.
The dinner went well and after that we have our party. I saw how fluppy Eresia's eyes right now, pinainom ba naman ng loka-lokang si Mandy ng whiskey. Isang bote ng Whiskey, hindi pa siya lasing sa isang bote ng Vodka at limang shots ng Bacardi.
"Whoa! Party, people!" She's shouting like an idiot. Hawak niya rin ang mic nito at todo kanta ng Cornelia Street ni Taylor Swift.
" And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends I'd never walk Cornelia Street again That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend I'd never walk Cornelia Street again. Oh, oh, never again"
I am in well state, limang shots palang ng Bacardi ang naiinom ko. Iwan ko nalang kay Mans, mukhang may pinghuhugutan. Not to mention, Yurki boy 'nakaw tingin' towards Mans. Itong pinsan ko pakipot lang, e.
"Mans, stop drinking it's not good for you" Saway ni Moncke. Ngumiti naman si Mans at nagulat akong sumablay ang kamay nito sa leeg ni Monckne. "Sana ikaw nalang siya, kaso hindi, e. Hindi talaga" Aniya ng nakangiti pa rin. Pero mas nagulat ako ng kunin ni Yurki si Mans mula kay Moncke.
"Fuck off, cousin!" Yurki hissed. Moncke raise his hands, "Okay, hands off. Tss, possessive pero hindi naman tinali" I heard Moncke said. Yurki just glared at him, my other cousin are now asleep. Tanging mga lalaki lang ang gising.
"Baby, I'm sleepy.." Napangiti ako. Nakasablay ang ulo nito sa aking balikat. "Hindi mo pa nagagawa ang pabor ko" I said.
Akala mo matatakasan mo ako, no, no, Commander. Mabilis nitong kinuha ang mic, at tumugtog ang pamilyar na musika.
"Can I have this dance?" He asked. Isang kamay niya ay nakalahad sa akin at ang isang kamay niya ay may hawak ng mic.
"My pleasure"
Nakasabit ang kamay ko sa kaniyang leeg at ang isang kamay niya ay nasa aking beywang.
" Put your head on my shoulder Hold me in your arms, baby Squeeze me oh-so-tight.
Show me that you love me too
Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, baby? Just a kiss goodnight, maybe You and I will fall in love" He sung. Naramdaman ko naman ang hininga sa aking leeg. This is the first time heard him sing and dance with me.
"I love you, baby.." He said. "I love you, too, baby" I replied. After that we stay like that, in that kind of position. Hearing each other heartbeats.
Ala una y media natapos ang sinabing 'Party' kuno, na una pa ang nag-ayang natulog. Well, it's me, bawal tanggihan ang utos ni Commander. Si Mandy ay nandoon sa guestroom, doon ata siya hinatid ni Yurki kanina. Si Eresia ay kasama si Exequiel and I know they will have their privacy.
"Good morning," Bati nito. Sun is greeting us, a warm kiss greeted my cheek as well.
"Good morning" I said at napahikab pa ako. I cover my mouth because of that but he cupped my face and kiss my lips.
"One, I smell bad right now. That's disgusting.." Nahihiyang sabi ko. He let out a chuckle, my heart jump. Damn, ang pogi niya kapag umaga.
"I don't care, I will always kiss your lips whenever I want. Kahit isang linggo ka pang hindi mag-toothbrush hahalikan pa rin kita"
Shit! Sisihin ang party dahil sobrang aga pang magpakilig at bumanat ni Commander!
