Hotel

"I am still here in the island on your grand opening day!" she exclaimed, lumabas naman siya sa banyo dala iyong mga makeup niya. I wore a skimpy little black silk dress. Nagbibihis naman si Athalia.

kwentuhan lang tungkol sa mga napagdaanan sa buhay at pag-aaral. She's a licensed architect now, umuwi lang saglit sa Isla para magpahinga.

"I cant believe that we're here together again! Ilang taon na rin ang lumipas!" i exclaimed and spray a perfume on my body. She's now curling her hair habang nakatingin sa salamin. I just let my hair down, tinatamad na kasi akong mag-ayos pa at medyo mataas na rin ang buhok.

"I didn't even see myself going back here in the island." she chuckled.

"What brings you back here then? I hope its me." i smirked and raise my brows.

"No?" i gasped, she shrugged and laughed when i fell silent all of a sudden. My jaw dropped when i realized something.

"Kaos?!" i exclaimed. Athalia groaned and tried to dismissed the topic.

"Kayo parin?!" agad naman akong lumapit at halos natawa dahil hindi makapaniwala sa mga nalaman. Ilang taon na ang lumipas, ah? Grabe! Talo pala talaga si Vale! Hindi ko maiwasang matawa dahil sa nakaraang biglang naalala.

"Let's go, Celene." pilit paring iniiwasan ni Athalia. Lumabas na kami ng hotel room niya.

"Grabe! Vale is such a loser, huh?" agad naman niya akong hinila papasok sa elevator.

"How's Vale?"

"Ayun! Asshole parin." natawa naman si Athalia sa sagot ko.

"Girlfriend?"

"Hmm... Meron? Not sure, eh." naguluhan naman ako kung ano ang isasagot, hindi ko kasi alam kung nao talaga sila ni Cici. They're both crazy! Hindi ko alam kung seryoso ba talaga silang dalawa o naglalaro lang?

Cici might look so innocent and fragile but that girl can literally set the whole club on fire. Kaya siguro nagkakaintindihan silang dalawa ni Vale? I dont know...

It's really not my story to tell.

"Damn! They're still playing, huh?" she smirked and nodded.

Clubs are usually located in the city, may ibang booze naman sa mga resort pero mas napili namin ni Athalia na pumunta sa City since malapit lang sa hotel.

We arrived just on time. Nagsisimula na ang kasiyahan sa club at marami ding mga tao sa dancefloor.

"You dont really have plans to go home conscious, huh?" biro ko, Athalia ordered some drinks. Nabigla ako sa dami ng alcohol sa mes, ano bang problema nang babaeng 'to?
Tumawa naman si Athalia, she handed me the glass.

"Cheers!"

"Gaga! I still need to drive back home." i reminded her, uuwi pa ako at susunduin pa ang anak. This will be the first time that i will be drinking and partying since i gave birth.

"Let's get drunk tonight, Celene!" tumatawa naman si Athalia habang binibigyan ako ng panibagong glass.

"You're crazy." i shook my head defeatedly and drink it in one go. Ilang bote na ang naubos namin ni Athalia pero hindi pa na kontento! She called the waiter again for more!

"Damn! This is obviously poisoning!" i murmur while holding the new glass that Athalia prepared for me.

Mabuti nalang at nakaupo lang kami kasi baka matumba na ako sa pagkahilo. We talked about life and college. Athalia didn't know about Rever. I am still thinking twice if i should tell her about it. She looked hurt and miserable kaya naisipan ko na baka hindi ito tamang panahon para magkwento.
