CHAPTER 7
Party
I requested Eros to drive me to Tita Malene's spa and salon service. Akala ko'y diretso na siyang aalis, ngunit nabigla ako dahil sumunod ang kumag!
Nagpark lang pala.
Dali-dali akong pumasok sa loob, may kung anong tumunog na hudyat na may pumasok na tao. I saw some customers having hair treatment.
There I saw Tita Marlene who's busy on designing a vase with a pretty flowers. Tumayo siya at binati ako. Ganoon din ako.
"I just received your text a while ago, so just want to surprise you with a new set of flowers kaso narito ka na pala!" She giggled, then paused because she saw another shadow of a man beside me.
"And.. Boyfriend?" Humalakhak si Tita Marlene at kumaway kay Eros.
"Hindi po, Tita." I simply said but it's futile because she didn't hear it. Diretso siya kay Eros at binati ito.
"Good afternoon, Ma'am." Eros said in a formal tone.
Mas lalong humalakhak si Tita Marlene at hinampas ng bahagya si Eros sa balikat.
Aba!
"Cut the formalities, hijo! You're part of the family now so why not call me mom?" Tita Marlene laugh a bit, "Kidding. Just Tita, for me!"
Eros nodded, Tita Marlene offered the sofa for Eros to sit.
Umupo si Eros doon habang tumitingin sa mga magazines. Ako nama'y umupo na sa vacant seat para makapagsimula na.
"You didn't tell me your boyfriend is handsome!" Tita Marlene started to fix something on me.
"Hindi ko siya boyfriend, Tita." I protested, Tita only laugh.
I want to trim my hair and have some hot oil. Sinabi ko na rin sa kanya na siya na rin ang magkulay sa mukha ko. I just want a simple make up.
After an hour of having a hair treatment, I heard Eros' phone rings. Kaya napasulyap ako sa gawi niya habang sinagot niya ang tawag. Sumulyap siya sa akin saglit at tinuro ang phone, bago lumabas.
He didn't wait for my reaction!
Tss. I don't know why I suddenly feel angry at him. Wala naman siyang ginagawang masama.
"Do you have a dress already?" Tita asked. I just nodded.
I have one formal dress, pinadala ko kanina lang galing sa bahay. Mom even protested that I should go home so she could check on me before going for tonight's party. I thought Mom's on the Election campaign, hindi pala siya sumama sa Cebu.
