CHAPTER FIVE
THE day before prom. Pauwi na sana si Alexandra ng mga oras na iyon ngunit naalala niyang may nakalimutan siyang libro sa kanilang classroom. Nagpahintay siya kay Keno sa gate at sinabi nitong bilisan niya dahil kailangan nilang mag beauty rest dahil bukas na ang Prom.
Ayaw na nga sana niyang dumalo dahil wala naman siyang prom date. Totoong maraming nag-aaya sakaniya pero ni isa sa mga ito ay ayaw niyang maka date. Paano kaya kung hindi niya tinanggihan si Michael? Pero naiinis talaga siya dito kaya dapat lang ito sa lalaki. Si Keno nalang ang date niya sa prom. Wala namang masama doon dahil wala rin naman itong ka-date.
Akmang papasok na sana siya pero napahinto siya nang makitang nasa loob ng classroom sina Michael kasama ang mga kaibigan nito. Nagtago siya at palihim na sumilip sa bintana.
"Guys, she's not pretty at all. She is really ugly." boses ni Michael. "It's only now that I really realized that she's not that pretty."
Is she the one he is referring to? Para bang sinaksak siya sa dibdib ng mga sandaling iyon.
"Eh paano yan? Didn't you say you invited her to the Prom?" tanong ng kaibigan nitong si Clark. "What's your plan now?"
"Now that I've seen how ugly she is, do you think I'll still like her? Never mind! Managinip nalang siya ng gising pero ayoko na sakaniya! I'm going to invite Claere instead of her!" napayuko n alamang siya sa narinig at tumakbo palayo. Nasasaktan siya sa sinabi ni Michael.
Nagkamali siya ng tingin kay Michael. Puro tawag ng laman lang pala ang kinailangan nito sakanya. Wala itong pinagkaiba sa daddy niya. Maling mali ang mahalin niya ito. Hindi siya karapat dapat na mahalin dahil hindi rin ito marunong magmahal ng tama. Plain sex lang pala ang nangyari sakanila.
That day, she started to hate Michael. For her, he was the lowest human on earth. An asshole!
***
10 YEARS LATER. It had been ten years since she last saw Michael since he graduated high school. She was having her favorite bacon for breakfast when the commercial for Michael's TV program immediately popped up on the television. He is already a popular TV host, catering to controversial issues in the field of arts and more.
"My nails! Be careful, it hurts you know!" Mangiyak-ngiyak na sabi ni Alexandra habang mariing nakapikit. Inaayos ng tauhan ni Keno ang kuko niya na nabali habang nakabantay naman ang kaibigan niya sa kaniyang likuran. "Patay na ba yang kuko ko?"
"Hindi pa dead yan! Naghihingalo palang. Why did your foot kick your table, that was pure hardwood. Look at your toenails. Goodbye to your French tip." wika ni Keno.
"It was Michael's fault! My day was so beautiful, and then he ruins it. He's really annoying!" gigil na sabi niya.
Michael's show ratings are high. She thinks she is the only woman in the Philippines who doesn't like him so her day is ruined when she sees him on TV. Pakiramdam niya ay sasabog ang mundo niya. Hindi parin mabubura ang nangyari sakanila sampung taon na ang lumipas.
"Huwag ka nang ma-high blood, okay? Just a few moments and your nails will be okay, mababawasan nga lang yung haba." ani Keno saka tinapik ang braso niya. May ari na ito ng isang malaking salon sa maynila at mayroon din itong patahian ng gowns. Fashion designer na rin si Keno. Marami na rin itong binihisang mga sikat na artista. "Alam mo girl, next time kasi, don't give in to your emotions. Tingnan mo nangyari. Maghanap ka nalang ng boylet para naman mabawasan ang inis mo kay Michael. Girl, ten years na ang lumipas oh! Moved on!"
