Beauty From The Pain. (On-Going)

CHAPTER 44

AMARA'S POV

From: Nathaniel Sanchez

7PM, you don't have to buy a gift for Sofia, just bring yourself. Ciao!

9:05AM.

Kanina pa ako minessage ni Nathan pati 'yong address, pero namomroblema pa rin ako. It is already one-thirty in the afternoon, but, Samuel's still not sure if he can go with me. Gusto niya akong samahan, kaso na-iipit din kasi siya sa schedule niya. They are not done yet with their movie. But, anyways, I already bought a gift for Sofia, even though Nathan said it is okay to not bring one. Duh, as if I'll do that.

Binilhan ko siya ng Sophia Webster high heels, since napansin ko noong party na parang sanay siya na nagsusuot ng gano'n. Well, I hope she would like it.

*Buzz* *Buzz* *Buzz*

I immediately run down the stairs and go in front of my door. Tumingin muna ako sa peep hole, to make sure that is was Samuel. It's really him, so, I opened it right away.

"Samuel."- I bit my lower lip.

'Sana pinayagan siya ni Manager.'

"Babe, she did not let me, though."- bakas sa itsura at tono niya ang pagka-dismaya at lungkot. Bumagsak ang balikat ko sabay simangot.

I let out a sigh, crossing my arms, thinking if who would I invite to go with me there. Nathan's circle of friends were fun to be with, but, I am still shy around them.

"But, don't worry, babe. Sasamahan pa rin kita, kahit sandali lang. Is that okay?"- he tried to cheer me up. Tumingin ako sa kaniya, naka-ngiti siya kaya ngumiti na rin ako.

"Sigurado ka ba? Baka mapagod ka naman kapag pabalik-balik ka sa set niyo?"- I asked him, concerned. Bigla na lang lumawak 'yong ngiti niya pati mga mata naningkit pa. Oh, really.

"Ang sweet mo na naman, Babe, ah! Hahahaha."- kunwari niya pa akong kinurot sa braso ko kaya inirapan ko siya. Ayan na naman siya sa kilig-kilig niya na 'yan. Argh.

His phone suddenly rang, so, he had to fished that out and answered the call. Puro oo at sige lang ang narinig ko sa kaniya bago niya binaba ang tawag.

"Pinapatawag ako ni direk, baby. Sunduin na lang kita mamaya, ah?"- he planted a kiss on my forehead as I nodded to him. I waited him to take a step inside the lift before I get inside my unit.

Kahit na masasamahan ako ni Samuel, nagtawag pa rin ako ng isa pang isasama ko para pag umalis na si Samuel mamaya, 'di pa rin ako loner doon.

"Hello, CJ?"

Siya lang ang naiisip kong tawagan, sa ngayon. Dahil wala naman na akong ibang choice, eh. At saka, close na kaming dalawa nito.

[Oh, Amara, napatawag ka?]

"Uhm.. Are you available tonight?"

[Yes, why? Anong ganap?]

"Do you want to come with me at the advance birthday party of Sofia Alonzo?"

[Hala, hoy! Seryoso? Madami pogi doon, girl! Saan 'yan?]

Basta lalaking pogi talaga, go na go siya. Hays.

"Well, I'll just fetch you. Para sabay na din tayo mamaya."

[Sure, sure! Pwede lumandi doon?]

"Oh, CJ, please stop. I will text you."

Bago ko binaba 'yong tawag, narinig ko pa siyang tumawa kaya napa-iling ako. At least, may makakasama na ako mamaya kahit iwan ako ni Samuel, 'no? Naalala ko 'yong sinabi sa'kin ni Nathan, tungkol sa pagbobonding nila ng mga kaibigan niya. He said, every time they are having a celebration like that, involving some celebrities, no matter how or what happens, they will act blind and not speak anything about it.
