Best Part of Me

12

"Madam nandyan na yung mga stylist at make up artist na mag aayos sayo." I looked at Jonas boredly.

"I told you I don't need that." Bored na sagot ko at pinagpatuloy ang paghiga sa kama.

"9pm simula ng ball niyo, 7:30 na. Baka naman gusto mo na maligo?" Pangungulit niya. I can't stop myself from crying since last night, that was very painful to handle.

"Look at your eyes! Grabe madam, daig mo pa zombie." Kumento ni Jonas. He suddenly went near me, marahas niyang inalis ang kumot sa katawan ko at hinatak ako patayo.

"I don't want to attend." I said. He sighed and stopped pulling me.

"Balita ko babagsak ka kapag hindi ka nagpunta." I sighed deeply. Ilang beses na rin ako tinawagan ni Zeph.

Tumango ako at dumiretso na sa CR para maligo, pagtapos ay bumaba ako dahil nasa baba na raw ang stylist at makeup artist. Inayusan nila ako, at pinagbihis.

I was wearing a black backless dress na may slit sa legs. They styled my hair in a messy bun style and few strands of hair at my face. It was pretty but I can't even smile. I don't have energy, and I don't even want to go.

"Let's go, madam?" Yaya sakin ni Jonas.

Sumunod ako sa kanya at nagdrive na siya papunta sa venue. Sa school grounds parin naman ang venue, but they managed to make it luxurious and elegant. Jonas told me that he would just wait for me, dahil 3 hours lang naman ang event.

I'm so pissed, annoyed and I felt very lonely. This wasn't the acquaintance ball that I was expecting. It shouldn't be this sad, and lonely. I was about to enter the gate when I felt someone held my waist.

Mabilis akong napatingin and saw Jordan. He was smiling at me. He was so handsome today.

"Can't let my fiance go alone." He said. I just smiled at him, kahit papano ay hindi ako mag-iisa ngayong gabi. I wasn't mad at him for calling me fiance in front of Ash, he doesn't have idea na may gusto ako kay Ash, he was innocent so I decided to forget what just happened.

And he was right, I'm his fiance, atleast for now hangga't hindi pa namin napipilit na wag ituloy ang kasal. I just have to deal with it, and Ash would not even go tonight and besides I was planning to stop this foolishness.

I can't just push myself to him when he clearly said he hates my existence. I set aside everything and I should enjoy this night atleast.

The venue was really loud, it was like a Valentines ball, red and black ang main motif ng ball.

"Zoe!" Napatingin ako sa gawi ni Zeph ng tawagin niya ako. I smiled at them, she was with Selena and Maxine.

"Long time no see girl." Nagbeso kami at sumunod sa kanilang table.

May mga drinks na sa table, merong beers, may cocktail and whiskey. Buti ay pinayagan iyon ng school.

"By the way, this is Jordan Chance my... Uh.. My.." napatingin ako kay Jordan, I don't know how to introduce him. They were waiting for me to speak pero inunahan na ako ni Jordan.

"Her fiance." I heard them gasp, maging si Zeph ay tila na bigla.

"I thought you were just friends?!" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Zeph.

"It's a long story and I don't think tonight's the right time to talk about it." They just nodded at me. Nagpakilala na silang lahat kay Jordan.

The event has started, wala akong pakialam sa nangyayari. I just wanted to go home right now. I saw Jordan, Zeph, Selena and Max enjoying the party but I just focused myself on drinking my cocktail.
