CHAPTER 6

LORAINE

I WOKE UP WITHOUT him. Umuwi na siya dahil wala siya kahit saang sulok dito sa condo ko, but there's a note na may kailangan siyang asikasuhin.

My work is done. Tinapos niya na lahat ng trabaho ko, so I could rest, but I'm done resting. I want to shop dahil mas gusto kong may bago akong damit lagi sa closet. I fixed myself at pumunta sa malapit na mall using my car.

Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pagso-shopping nang may text akong natanggap from an old friend. May party daw mamaya sa bar na lagi naming pinupuntahan dahil ikakasal na ang isa naming kaibigan. I said yes, dahil wala naman akong gagawin.

I bought a spaghetti strap dress na yumayakap sa kurba ng katawan ko. Maganda ito at kulay red, kaya binili ko na agad. Bumili din ako ng bagong makeups, especially pang highlights, dahil madalas ito ang ginagamit ko.

Hapon na nang makauwi ako, and I have enough time para makapag ayos. I quickly took a shower at nagbihis after maglagay ng lotion. Hanggang ibabaw ng tuhod ko ang dress. I applied red lipstick. Naglagay din ako ng manipis na eyeshadow.

"Walang text si Jackson? That's new." Nagkibit balikat ako at nagdrive papunta sa bar na laging pinupuntahan namin noon.

Neon lights are making me feel dizzy. Masakit kapag tumatama ito sa mata ko. I flipped my hair nang pinagtitinginan ako, especially ang hita ko. I know I'm beautiful. I got long, creamy legs, kaya hindi na ako magtataka. I just rolled my eyes.

"Loraine!"

"Hi!" I am grinning ear to ear at humalik sa mga kaibigan ko. "Oh my gosh, I missed you!" Nag group hug kami.

"Grabe! Ang sexy mo, Loraine! It's been five years, right?"

"Thank you! Yes. Where's Nikki, by the way?" Nikki is our friend who's getting married this year.

"Oh, nando'n." May tinuro siyang lugar kung saan may nag sasayawan.

"Puntahan ko muna." Ngumisi ako sakanila bago pumunta sa dance floor. I saw Nikki with her fiancé. "Nikki!"

"OMG! Loraine!" We hugged each other at kulang na lang ay tumalon talon kami. "Is this real?! You're here?! OMG!"

"I missed you!"

"It's been five years! Ano ba kasing ginawa mo sa France?"

"I was, and I'm still looking for my sister. Alam mo namang 'yon lang ang magpapasaya kay Papa kaya ginagawa ko talaga lahat just to find her." She pouted her lips. She knows Papa dahil matagal na din kaming magkaibigan.

"Still making it up to your papa?" Tipid akong ngumiti. "You know what? You should find a boyfriend. You're 26, right? Nasa edad ka na para lumagay sa tahimik." I shrugged.

"Not until I found my sister. She's my main reason why I came back." She arched her brow.

"So, not for your ex? Jackson Calin, right? Why don't you guys go back together? Hindi ka na lugi. He's handsome and so rich as fuck!" I laughed. "Did you guys do it back then?" Kumunot ang noo ko.

"What do you mean?"

"Did you guys have sex five years ago?" Feeling ko napunta lahat ng dugo ko sa mukha ko. My cheeks are burning!

"Of course not! Why would I let him if we're not yet married?" Nagkibit balikat ako.

"So, you're still a virgin?! I can't believe this!" Tumawa ito at halos mabilaukan pa.

"What's wrong with being a virgin? Dapat lang na pangalagaan ko ang puri ko. At isa pa, Jackson respects me so much. Yes, there are times that we're almost there, but he's the one who's pulling ourselves together." She pouted her lips.
