CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Intruder

Gitatal ako sa harap ng hapag kainan, malalim na iniisip kung isa ba itong panaginip o isa lamang siyang aparisyon. Hindi ako makapaniwala, paano  ito naimbitahan ni Mommy para sa isang simpleng pananghalian nang hindi kami kinukuyog ng mga tao?

"We've met on one of the party's we have attended," si Mommy.

Tahimik na nagsalin ng inumin ang aming kasambahay, habang patuloy sa pag kuwento si Mommy.

"This is my daughter, Camila Asteria." Nagagalak na sambit ni Daddy. "She's attending shoots and runway shows nowadays."

Ang matang may linya ng eyeliner ay bahagyang nanlaki dahil sa galak ni Mrs. Ophelia Pattinson,

"Oh... I've seen you on teen magazines one of these days, you look exquisite. You have a bright future ahead hija." her voice was soft, her eyes show calmness, telling you, that you can run on her arms in the middle of the storm.

Nahihiya naman akong ngumiti. "Thank you po,"

Habang abala ang aming magulang sa kanilang usapan ay napabaling ako sa aking kaharap. Nahigit ko ang aking hininga ng maabutan siyang nakatitig sa akin.

Darius, His eyes were hooded, yung tipong aakalain mong may suot siyang guyliner kahit wala naman, his nose was pointed enough to recognize that he isn't pure Filipino, his square shape jaw and thin lips that made him suit to his career.

Ang suot na silver na hikaw ay bahagyang tumingkad dahil sa ginawang pagsuri sa akin, he had piercing on his nose too, and his sand brown colored hair makes him too obvious to look in the crowd.

Bahagyang umangat ang kaniyang labi ng mahalata ang aking pagsuri. Nang makasalubong ko ang kaniyang mata ay nakitaan ko ito ng kaaliwan at panghahamon. My face and expression were at rest, kaya nasisigurado kong wala akong ekspresyon ngayon.

"Darius hijo," tawag ni Mommy kaya naputol ang pagtitig niya sa akin.

Bumaling na ako ngayon kay Mommy na may halong panunuya ang tingin sa akin na ikinakunot ng aking noo.

"My Camila was a really fan of yours," she stated before she sipped on her wine.

Nanlaki ang mata ko. I heard Ma'am Ophelia small chuckle and Dad too.

"As I remember, she bought a poster and an album that your band—"

"Mom!" putol ko.

Humalakhak ang Mommy at umiiling na inilapag ang kaniyang wine glass.

"She's really found of you,"

"Mommy!" saway ko na.

Hindi ganoon iyon! Narinig ko ang pagtawa ni Darius kaya bumaling ako sa kaniya.

"She spend her allowance on your albums," si Daddy naman ngayon.

Halos mapapikit ako dahil sa kahihiyan na natatamo. Noong high school pa iyon! Lahat naman siguro ng nag dadalaga at nagbibinata ay may mga kinahuhumalingan, it's normal!

"I mean who would not?" si Mommy. "With that kind voice of yours, talented and skilled members. Sino ba naman ang hindi kayo iidolohin?"

Humalakhak si Darius. "Thank you, Madam."

Galak na galak siya ngayon dahil sa pagpapaulan sa kaniya ng papuri, little did they know. I have been a fan of his, Yes. Pero iyan ang mga panahon na wala pa akong alam kung paano umikot ang industriyang ginagalawan niya, I don't know why Mommy invited them, but whatever it is I hope it is for good. Darius' family was infamous on showbusiness. I don't want our family to stick nose on their businesses.
