Chapter 7: Chemicals
Tonight's going to be Kuya Vince's birthday party. And it will be held at their elegant mansion. Kanina pang umaga pumunta dito sila lola Feliza at lolo Julio para magbigay ng regalo at makasama kami. They even gave us a basket of fruits and vegetables freshly picked from their small farm. Pero nang maghapon na ay nagpaalam na rin sila. Kuya Vince drove them safely back at their house.
My grandparents are not fond of parties. Hindi naman matampuhin si kuya Vince and I know that he understands them. Hopefully I'll have a chance to finally meet his girl.
Around 7 pm, the guests are already getting many. Padami nang padami hanggang sa hindi ko na mabilang. Some of those are the well-known and influential people of Dalux, famous models and hot bachelors in town and even the son of the mayor is here. I didn't know kuya Vince was so friendly.
Napaayos ako ng medyo nagulo kong damit. I just wore a yellow off shoulder dress, an inch above my knees exposing my beautiful legs and paired it with a beige t-strap peep toe d'orsay. I put on a light make up as well. Sina Amielle at Diana pa nga ang nagkumbinsi sa akin na kulutin ang dulo ng mahaba kong buhok. Pumayag nalang ako. Besides they were both too persistent... I can't say no to them.
"You're stunning tonight, darling." A voice behind me said.
Mariin akong napapikit. Hindi ko na kailangang tingnan kung sino iyan. Alam ko na siya 'yan. Pagmulat ko ng mata ay nandyan na siya sa harap ko. Nakakaasar ang ngiti niya.
"Sunflower for you..." inilahad niya sa'kin ang isang tangkay ng sunflower mula sa likod nya.
Saglit na nanlambot ang puso ko. Napakagat labi ako para pigilan ang ngiting gustong kumawala sa aking labi. I immediately changed my facial expression and raised a brow on him.
"So? What's that for?"
"It's for you, darling. Sunflower is your favorite flower, right?" Mas lalong lumapad ang ngisi nya.
"How did you know?"
"I saw you smelled that flower yesterday. Sa hardin na minimintina ko. So, I assumed that you like it. At tama nga ako dahil kinumpirma iyon sa'kin ni lola Feliza." I gave him an eye roll.
Alam nya na pala ba't pa sya nagtanong? Kaasar talaga!
"You are fond of doing that, darling..."
"It's Suenella.. not darling." I glared at him.
Akala ko matitinag sya sa masama kong tingin. Pero akala ko lang dahil wala pang ilang segundo nang mahuli nya ang kamay ko't magaang hinalikan ang ibabaw niyon. Pakiramdam ko bumaliktad ang sikmura ko't bigla akong nanghina sa ginawa niyang iyon.
"No. You are my darling." He winked at me before he left and vanish at the sea of people.
Nang makaalis sya ay tuluyan na akong nawalan ng panimbang. Na ang akala kong sahig ang sasalo sa akin ay napalitan ng brasong maingat na umalalay sa'kin.
"Nahulog na..." saad nya.
"J-Jaxtyn? Ano'ng ginagawa mo dito?" Pinagmasdan ko lang sya. At kagaya ni Gadiel ay nakaputi rin syang damit.
Gadiel wore a white long sleeves halfly rolled up on his arms, three of his buttons were unbuttoned and a white pants. While Jaxtyn is wearing a plain white shirt and a gray pants. Bakit kahit simple ay nag-uumapaw pa rin ang kagwapuhan nila?
I mean I got boy friends too, the nerds. They're handsome too but in a different way of charm.
"Suenella you're still rude. Wala man lang 'thank you'...?" He said in a joking way but his eyes were offended. Truly the eyes can't lie.
