I walked towards Yona. She's with her so-called friends. Her friends looked confuse why I'm there and Yona has her confidence again to look back at me.
Aba ang mag-iinom na ito, lakas ng loob ah.
I'm not good in intro so I let her talk first.
"What? You're not going to talk?"
"Sino ditong may alam kung kaninong party ito?"
"What you went here na hindi alam ang celebrant?"
"Huh? Bakit hindi mo alam?"
"Hey, did you tell her?"
"So. Anyone?" Nakatingin lang ako kay Yona
"Sabi ni Yona si Leo daw" may nagsalita sa likod ko
"Really, Yona? Birthday ba talaga niya?"
"Yes" maikling sagot nito habang halatang namang takot na pero nakatitig pa pabalik
"Today is November while Leo's birthday is on Summer. How the heck did it happen, Yona?"
Ramdam ko na tumahimik at pero madilim pa din. Agaw-atensyon kami dito. Tama lang yan, para alam nilang sinungaling 'to
"Today is his birthday! Right Leo?" Pinanlakihan nito si Leo ng mata.
"Silly. Check our gc kung may reminder ng may birthday. Hanapin niyo si Leo"
Kaunting minuto pa ay nakatingin na silang lahat kay Yona.
"I really thought it's his birthday"
"I knew it's not his"
"Who said to bring her here?"
"Yona. Yona. Wy did you lie?" Chant ko. "Hindi ba nila alam ang tungkol sa pang rereject sayo ni JC? May nagsabi kasi sa akin na isinama mo ako para pumunta din si JC." Nagbulong-bulongan naman ang mga tangang nakikinig.
"No! I didn't!"
"Aahh talaga? Kaya pala malapit na kayo sa bahay na ito pero sumunod ka pa din kay JC. Aww too sad. Nakaclose mo ba siya sa party na ito?" I make sad face for her.
"Yes! We talked!"
"No, we didn't" kinig kong sabi ni JC.
"Is this what you want? Huh?"
"Aww. You're gonna cry already? Of course, I'm so much happy because of this girl." I laugh. "Desperate much or.. insecure much?" I smirked.
"I know someday he will like me. Kontrabida ka lang talaga!"
"If he will like you, sana matagal na"
"Stop this nonsense. Go home Yona. You already embarrassed yourself to us. It's enough to know the real you." Tumingin ito sa akin. " And you come with me"
"Oh wait! Wait. Yona hahahhaa why are you crying? Does it hurts so much? Remember when you hit me from the back. Remember when you left me para lang umangat."
"Stop, Joyce"
"I didn't left you! I just chose her than you" pabulong na halos na bigkas niya.
"Oh and now your love didn't chose you." I make sad face para maasar pa siya lalo. Nakahawak lang si JC sa bewang ko.
"I hate you. I hate you!" She ran away.
I smiled. "I'm so happy." I looked at JC that is looking pissed. "Let's go?" Tumango lang ito at naglakad sa tabi ko. Mahigpit ang hawak sa bewang ko.
