San Vicente 1: Tenacious ✅

CHAPTER 15

SUBOK NA SUBOK and pasensya niya sa araw na ito. Andito siya ngayon sa reunion nina Kairos but she is having one of the worst days. It feels pathetic to be here kasama ng mga taong hindi naman din gusto na andoon siya. They are like a bunch of kids, malala pa ang immaturity kumpara sa kanya. It's as if they were all plotting to make her feel terrible. Gets naman niya na mukhang muse and escort ng klase ng mga ito si Bea at Kairos pero sana naman may kaunti lang respeto sa kanya kasi pinakilala naman siya ni Kairos as his girlfriend.

Mikee even bothered dressing up today kasi ayaw niyang mapahiya si Kairos when he's with her. Ayaw niyang maramdaman ni Kairos that she's not putting in any kind of effort anymore.

"I think hindi bagay yung dress ko ngayon. Tingin mo ba dapat iba ang sinuot ko?" Hindi mapakali si Mikee sa sasakyan habang inaayos ang damit niya.

She's wearing a blush colored off shoulder dress, it was a cocktail dress that ended just in the middle of her calf. Yung a-line cut ng dress ay nag-accentuate ng beywang niya. It was simple yet elegant, ayaw niya kasing masyadong umagaw ng atensyon kasi hindi niya naman party yun. Pinaresan niya iyon ng 4-inch silver strappy stilettos para naman madagdagan ang height niya kahit na papaano. She had her long hair up in a messy bun, with some of her natural curls loose around her face. For her make up, she kept it peachy and sweet, ayaw niya naman magmukhang mature, she just wants to look fresh and pretty. When she looked at herself kanina sa salamin ay natuwa naman siya sa hitsura niya pero bigla siyang kinabahan ngayon kasi bagong set ng mga tao ang makikilala niya.

"You look fine Mikaela," sabi sa kanya ni Kairos. It was a good enough compliment kaya natuwa na lang din siya.

"I'm kind of nervous, hindi ko alam kung bakit." Malapit na sila sa venue at parang may humahalukay sa tiyan niya.

"Why? They are just my former classmates. Hindi naman ganun kadami kasi hindi pa malaki ang classes noon sa university for my course. Siguro mga fifty lang na tao ang andoon. Give and take those people they bring over, siguro a hundred people will be there." Hindi alam ni Mikee kung inaalo siya ng nobyo o mas tinatakot. Ang dami kaya nun.

"Ito naman, mas tinakot pa ako." She shrugged.

"Don't be. When you feel uncomfortable, we'll leave." He smiled.

"No, siguro kasi hindi ko lang sila kilala kaya ako kinakabahan. I'm Miss Congeniality everywhere else." Ngumiti siya nang huminto sila sa driveway ng venue. It's go time.

Pinagbuksan siya ng pintuan ng isa sa mga valet doon and she immediately went down and fixed her dress. May hindi lang talaga mawalang kaba sa kanya. It may be her gut trying to tell her something.

"You look beautiful already." Nagulat siya sa sinabi ni Kairos. Nakatayo na ito sa tabi niya at nakalahad ang kamay. "Let's go?"

"Na-caught off guard ako sa compliment ah." She giggled as she took his hand.

Maganda ang pagkakaayos ng lugar. It was one of those quaint spaces that just shouts elegance. Naikwento sa kanya ni Kairos na ito ang nagrekomenda ng lugar na. He'd been here in the past and it was the vibe that his batchmates wanted.

"Ang ganda dito ah." She commented.

"Yeah, maganda ang naging ayos." He agreed.

"Kairos!" Napalingon silang dalawa sa direksyon kung saan nanggaling ang boses.

It was Bea in her absolutely head turning and body hugging dress. Jusme, lahat ata ng isuot sa babaeng to ay maganda kasi matangkad at sexy. Maganda din ito kaya naman lilingunin at lilingunin talaga.
