Tita Celeste's birthday celebration was all over magazines the next day. They're one of the wealthiest families after all at sa sobrang engrande ba naman ng selebrasyon niya. She's also a retired actress kaya maraming media kagabi.
There was also about the engagement between the Callante Corporacion Naviera's heir and DLT Holdings Inc. heiress. If ever that would happen, the DLT Holdings will become the most valuable asset of Callante Naviera.
I almost winced after reading the article. Kaya ayaw kong mamahala sa malalakig kompanya eh. Napaka hassle. Hindi naman sa tinatakbuhan ko ang responsibilidad ko bilang anak but I really don't want it. At hindi naman ako pinipilit ng mga magulang ko.
I pursed my lips as I looked at the photo for that article. It was me smiling at Tita Celeste while Giro's hand is on my waist and his eyes were all over me.
I like this one. I took a photo of it.
I spent the whole day in Treecup at umuwi lang nang nag alas sais na ng gabi. I took a bath and wore a cream spaghetti strap mini nightdress. It's a satin cloth with a lace trim kaya magaan sa pakiramdam.
It's past eight at hindi pa ako nakakapaghapunan. I was about to order food nang tumunog ang buzz.
When I opened the door, si Astrid ang sumalubong sa akin na kasama si Nite na pulang pula ang mata.
"What the hell happened?"
"We broke up." Si Nite ang sumagot at nagsimula na namang umiyak kaya tinahan ni Astrid.
Tangina.
"Pasok kayo." Sabi ko at sinarado ang pinto nang nakapasok na sila.
We sat on the couch and I watched Nite crying his heart out.
"Bakit ba hindi ako sapat kahit kanino? Putanginang buhay 'to." He laughed but there's no humor in it.
"What happened?" I mouthed Atstrid.
She just shrugged her shoulders at umiling, mukhang hindi rin alam kung anong nangyari.
Tumayo si Nite kaya nag-angat kaming dalawa ni Astrid ng tingin sa kanya.
"Let's drink! It's on me!" Sabi niya na may pilit na ngiti sa labi.
He just ordered and cried again as we waited. Nang tumunog ang buzz, tumayo siya pero pinaupo ko ulit.
"You look horrible. Dito ka lang, ako na." Sa pagtayo ko ay pinaupo naman ako ni Astrid at siya ang tumayo.
"Mukha kang mang-aakit sa ayos mo. Baka anong mangyari sa delivery man kapag nakita ka. Jusmiyo, you're not even wearing a bra. Dito lang kayo, ako na." Si Astrid at umalis na.
Akala ko kukunin niya lang mula doon pero tumaas ang kilay ko nang pinapasok niya ang delivery man at tiningnan ko ang paglapag niya ng iba't-ibang inumin sa counter.
"Hoy bakla, inuman ba 'to o patayan? You ordered all of that?" Hindi makapaniwalang baling ko kay Nite.
"Inuman. Wala akong balak mamatay hanggang hindi nauuna ang lalakeng yun at ang kabit niya."
I fell silent. Puta. Was he cheated to over again?
Binayaran ni Nite ang mga inumin at umalis na ang delivery man. Naghanda naman ako ng mga shot glass at pagbalik ko, pinipigilan na ni Astrid si Nite na inumin ang buong bote.
Oh god.
"Nite! Ano ba, hinay-hinay lang putragis ka!"
Inilagay ko sa table ang mga shot glass at tinulungan si Astrid sa pagbawi ng bote kay Nite.
