News

I wanted to go and socialize on the after party of the event but my body wants to hit the hay. Kinalma ang sarili bago kami tumungo ni David sa mga kaibigan. Our mouth was both concealed by the heat of the flames made by our own bodies, we did not utter words but the brush of our skin as we walk give us connection. I bid my goodbye to him silently, there's no uneasiness yet, komportable ako sa mga natirang oras na mag kasama kami, but there this empty feeling, the kind of feeling, I can't explain.

"Ang harot!" si Jumi.

Nasa kaniyang condo ako ngayon, dito ko napili na ubusin ang oras para sa araw na ito. Today is my rest day, day off kung baga. The grand event yesterday drained us, both physically and mentally so Kevin did let me to have this day all by myself.

Nag angat ako sa kaniya ng tingin ng manatili siyang nakatayo sa harap ng kaniyang tukador.

"Why?" I asked.

Bumalik siya sa pagkakaupo sa aking harap habang nakangiti na nakatitig sa kaniyang cellphone. She's cleaning my nails right now, I was too busy and lazy these past few days that I forgotten to have my appointment in the salon.

"Check your IG! Dali!" she said and shrieked.

She has a big smile as she shakes the beige nail polish. Kunot noo kong inabot ang aking cellphone. I clicked the Instagram app, and there it is. A soft gasp escape from my lips as I incredulously stared on the top photo that have showed on my feed.

It was me, sleeping peacefully on my highchair as Ate Nikki do my hair, ang kaniyang kanang kamay ay nasa aking pisngi, inaalalayan ang aking mukha, but on this picture it looks like he's caressing my cheek.

@thethirdAngelus: My gift from Hera, My Aphrodite.

It was posted fifteen minutes ago and it gained almost four hundred likes. I check the comments and it almost consist of girls, envying the beauty of my man.

@Lolita: yung mas mahaba pa pilik mata niya kaysa sa pasensya ko. Huhuhu

@Jane040234: Suri Ser pang Minotaur lang beauty ko.

@Vangieramossss: Doc sino to?! Akala ko ba ako lang?! Ayusin mo mga desisyon mo sa buhay Cojuangco!

@_rltnobs: Doc pa mine po ako. Things hihihi.

@Lachimolala95: Turukan mo ako Cojuangco!!!

Napairap ako sa hangin at hindi na itinuloy pa ang binabasa. Puro lang naman iyon papuri at tanong kung ako ba iyong model sa isang brochure. As I stared once again on the photo it gives me the feel of what they so-called butterflies on my stomach, I scoffed, forget those butterflies when I'm with David he makes me feel the whole zoo.

Napalabi ako upang pigilan ang ngiti ng pindutin ang like button, I'll give you a call later just let me finish my business David Angelus. Bumaling sa kaharap na abala sa pagpinta ng aking kuko habang may maliit na ngiti sa labi.

"Ano kilig ka no?" Pang aasar niya. "Ikalma mo yang pempem mo!"

Nanlaki ang mata ko at humalakhak.

"What? Wala naman akong ginagawa!" natatawa kong utas.

Pinanliitan niya ako ng mata at dinuro. "'Yan! Ganyan Camila Asteria! You're obsessed!"

"What?!" asik ko nakangiti pa din. "No kaya! I'm just happy, what's wrong with that?"

"Iba ang masaya sa kinikilig boba!" aniya.
