A/N: listen to Dancing On My Own by Robyn for more feels (:
Alyssa
I sat down from the dance floor kasi napagod ako ng slight from dancing. We're here sa isang boutique hotel, it's Den's bridal shower. She's getting married in a week, with LA.
We actually organized this event for her. Yes, including me. Sila Ella and Kiwi talaga yung pinakanagorganize neto with a little help from us. Don't bother asking gaano katagal ako pinilit nung dalawa para tulungan sila.
I'm in the corner,
Watching you kiss her. Oh oh oh
I'm right over here,
Why can't you see me? Oh oh oh
At bakit naman talaga eto pa yung kanta ngayon?
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own
I looked at Den and she looks genuinely happy. Tumingin din sya sakin and smiled at me. She is lovely as ever. Sinong hindi mai-inlove sa babaeng yan? She is nothing but perfect.
"Besh, bawal ang drama. Tara dun sa dance floor! Party party!" Sabi ni Ella sakin habang hinihila ako patayo. Sinunod ko nalang din siya kasi nga bawal magdrama. Moment ni Den 'to di pwedeng sirain.
I'm just gonna dance all night
I'm all messed up, I'm so outta line
Stilettos on broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
If you're gonna ask me kung anong plano ko, wala. Wala akong plano. I can see it in her eyes na masaya siya at mahal niya si LA, mahal na mahal. At mahal na mahal din naman siya ni LA.
So far away, but still so near
(The lights go on, the music dies)
But you don't see me standing here
(I just came) to say goodbye
Ako? Makakamove on din ako. Someday siguro basta ang sure ako is not anytime soon. Whatever, sabi nga ni Ella, party party!
I'm in the corner watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
"Pagod ako besh!" Sabi ni Den. This time lahat kami ngayon umupo na sa table. Sa wakas napagod din itong mga 'to. From party music bigla naman naging chill yung vibes namin dito.
"Besh, you know how happy I am for you. Grabe how time flies right? We were just playing volleyball and in an instant one of us is getting married already" Amy started her speech. "I just wish you all the happiness and love Den, you and LA." She ended and they both hugged.
"Besh if you need anything you know I'm only one call away! I know you don't know how to cook and as a soon-to-be wife, I gotcha always!" Bea Tan. We all laughed naman.
"Ako besh? Ako nalang titikim ng mga pinagpractice-an mo sa pagluluto. Willing ako basta libreng food alam mo yan!" Si Ella naman. Na kahit kelan talaga mukang food at libre.
"I can be all besh! Charot basta isang tawag lang din ako besh alam mo na 'yan. May chika ka? Go call lang ganon. Busog na si Ella kakatikim ng mga luto mo? Ako naman besh!" Synj naman. At syempre tumawa nanaman kaming lahat.
Tunatawa pa ko dito ng mapansin kong nakatingin na sila lahat sakin. Parang inaabangan yung sasabihin ko. "A-ako ba?" I asked at pinanlakihan lang nila kong lahat ng mata. "Uhm besh, basta ako...uhm..." Oh goodness gracious I can't find the right words to say. Think Alyssa, think.
"Besh, I will always, honestly, truly, completely love you" I started. Nagulat naman ata lahat ng kasama namin sa sinabi ko. "Like a sister loves a sister and a friend loves a friend. I'll always stay in guard of your dreams, Den. No matter how weird or twisted they get." I ended it with a bittersweet smile. Hinug niya naman ako which made me tear up a little.
"Cheers? For the bride and the bridesmaids." I put up my glass of wine when Dennise and I broke our hug. "For the bride and the bridesmaids" they all responded while each of them tapping my back.
