"Are you done?" Ae asked habang sinusuot ko ang half sleeve single breasted high waist casual pink dress and put a light make up.
I heard Ae chucked.
"Grabe nagpaganda ka pa talaga." She's teasing me
"Look who's talking." I smirked when she immediately blush. She's wearing off shoulder bandage sexy summer casual red dress.
*************
Memories flooded upon seeing the place we used to hang out after or before going to school years ago. The Cafe Bar
"Are you okay, joy?" Ae asked again at dahil sawang sawa ako sa kakatanong ni Ae if okay lang ako. I smiled at her and nod.
"yes. Ikaw, are you sure you're okay with this?" Mukhang nagulat siya dahil ako naman ang tanong. I knew it they've been together 7 years ago.
Umiwas siya ng tingin "You knew." It's a statement
Ae is the Ice queen in the squad, she's known for as the snob-cold hearted girl yet the most beautiful in the squad. She's been always on the top faces in our campus. However, Only one tamed her icy-attitude and that's him.
"Aciel! Joy!" Our heads turn around as we heard a joyful and chirpy voice. "I've missed you! We never see each other for years!" She never change. Still, she smiles everytime she talk. Her body matured, the figures and curves is shown in her fitted-silver long dress. Yelie, is still the Girly-Baby of the Group. I missed her.
"I miss you too, how are you been? Did you and Bam..." I chuckled as I mentioned her long term crush since high school yet the boy who always bully her.
I suddenly felt Ae pinch me at the back. "They've broke up years ago, silly." She whispered
"Aww. Sorry." I apologetically smile at Yelie but I was surprised when I saw the sadness on her face yet she smiled immediately when she noticed I was staring at her.
"Silly! It's okay to mention him, We're over years ago! He's happy married to his wife now!" And she laughed like she was really happy.
Nagkatinginan kami ni Ae. We knew that she is not yet over with him. "Bam's married?" I asked wow, I am really missing things after that happend.
"Don't ask me, I wasn't invited." Ae remark
Hinila kami ni Yelie sa Main table na reserve para saamin and there we saw them except him.
"Aciel! Joy!" Sandy hugged us as soon as she saw us "I missed you! Ang tagal nating hindi nagkita!" She cried
"Hindi ka pa rin nagbago, you're still a crying baby." Ae the Icy-queen has spoken the truth.
"Shut up! You all worth to shed a tear!" Sandy the ever so dramatic
"Hi!" We avert our gaze upon hearing a manly voice from our back
"Bam!" We hugged Bam as soon as we saw him.
"Tumangkad ka!" I laughed as I heard him groan
"Oo nga, buti naman at may improvement sa height." Ae has spoken again.
"and you two never change, still the Savage and always bullying me." Ae and I laughed upon we heard Bam's remark
Pinalo ko siya sa braso dahil sa may kasalan pa siya sa'kin. "Aww, amazona ka pa rin!"
"Hindi ka man lang nagsabi na kinasal ka na pala!"
His expression change when he heard my complain "Who told you?" His voice change from chipper to serious tone.
"Yelie," Ae replied. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin "What?"
Umiling si Bam "Yeah, sorry for not inviting you girls." He apologetically said
"Kami lang ang hindi invited?"
"Nope, All of you girls."
"Why?!" Sabay naming Sabi ni Aciel.
"Because I knew you all hate me for hurting her." Natahimik kami nang sabihin niya 'yon.
I knew he's still into her.
Pumunta kami sa table Kung saan nandoon sila. They look different but still familiar, they matured so much different figures than years ago.
"Matangkad ka pa rin, Fred." Natatawang ani ni Ae. She nevermind Fred's seatmate Darren. Kaya siniko ko siya
"Hi, Darren." But Darren didn't mind or even gave her a glance or pause he just continued fiddling his phone "Always busy, I'm used to it." I was surprised when Ae said that enough for Darren to hear. She's mocking him.
This Girl never change.
"My phone is worth my time than spending it catching up with you." Darren's remark made me hold Ae hands.
Umubo bigla si Gavie at siya niya ang nag simula ng tanong Kung anong ginawa namin sa mga nakaraang taon. "I'm currently managing a resto. my husband and I have a stable work, baby nalang ang kulang." Masaya kami sa sinabi ni Gavie. It's obvious that she's very happy with her life now.
"Mine was okay, I'm okay with my girlfriend though gusto ko pa nang mas stable job. I wanted to be promoted pero parang di talaga boto saakin ang boss ko," si Fred naman ang nagsalita
"Paano di boto eh, tinuhog mo anak niya." Natawa kami sa sinabi ni Yelie habang si namumula ang pisngi Fred.
"Sharp shooter pa rin," ani Bam
"Sana all, may bunga na kahit di pa hinog." Mas natawa kami sa sinabi ni Gavie
"Shut up," pulang pula na si Fred ngayon.
Ngunit lahat kami ay natigilan nang may umubo malapit saamin. My heart pounded so fast and hard that I think my heart is going out of my chest.
It's him.
Nanigas ako at parang hindi mag function ang systema. I thought he wound'nt come, a familiar feeling and pictures of memories of him flooded and in a heartbeat, I look at him.
And he was looking at me.
"H-hi..." ang tanging nasabi ko.
Still, He looks intimidating, those thick eyebrows and eyelashes his pale skin and pinkish lips, I missed.
"Nice to meet you again, Ligaya."
