"Zsol Natasha! Over here!" Zamara’s voice reverbarates on the wide club, shouting like a macabre.
Dahil sa rami ng tao ay malamang, hindi ko sila mahahanap kung hindi niya ako sisigawan.
I flutter my hand on them, proclaiming that I’m coming. Malayo palang ay nakikita ko na ang namamagang mata ni Zahirayah. I know how heartbroken she is. She made an accident incest relationship with someone. Sino ba namang hindi masasaktan doon.
She’s the perfect example for an inginious and terrible chapter of an untold story. Na kahit gaano pa kaperpekto ang buhay na mayroon ka ay may darating paring kasinungalingan para baguhin iyon.
I sat beside Zahirayah as they welcome me. Si Zamara ngayon ang nasa harap ko at katabi si Zara na naglalagay ng margarita sa kanyang baso.
"I wish I was your her, Zsol. Ako nalang sana si Zin." Her shoulder was trembling while sobbing endlessly.
"Don't say that Rayah. You're too much better than anyone. Everything will be fine okey? Just move on. Accept the fact," I tell her.
Si Zara naman itong lumapit at naupo sa tabi ni Zahirayah para daluhan siya.
"Atleast, Zin had a chance. A huge chance for that and I know myself that I can't get that chance kahit lumuha pa'ko ng dugo." she cried.
"Hey, don't say that, okey? We love you," si Zara.
Isinuot ni Zahirayah ang shades sa kanyang mata at nagpunas ng sipon. As to show my warmest sympathy, I let her lean on me and cry on my chest. Marahan kong tinapik ang kanyang likod at hinaplos iyon ng paulit-ulit.
"Hey! Stop crying, Rayah. We're not here for drama. Akala ko ba magpapakalimut ka ngayon? I can find a better man for you," Zamara's voice halt us of what we are doing.
Itinungga nito ang isang shot ng margarita at ngumisi sa amin.
"Hush your mouth, Zam. Don't be garrulous or I'll kick you out of here." My b*tchy mouth suddenly uttered the unexpected words.
Zamara just rolled her eyes on me and began to trudge, going on the dance floor.
"Let's have fan. Wag na magdrama, b*tches!" pahabol niyang sigaw.
The atmosphere became more tenacious as the Dj began to play. The tumult became more louder as the dance floor filled.
"Yea, sorry. I think, Zamara is right. Maiwan ko na kayo a." And just like what I am expecting, pati si Zara ay nakihalo na din sa mga lasing na nagsasayawan.
"B*tch! Fake friends!" I yelled at them at them laughing. Kumaway lamang sila sa akin.
Well, they were my friends. Komportable ako sa kanila kaya kahit ganiyan sila, mahal na mahal ko sila. Zsol, Zahirayah, Zamara and Zara. 4Z forever.
From my peripheral vission, nakita kong itinungga ni Zahirayah ang isang vodka. Naririnig ko parin ang pag-iyak niya kahit pa napakaingay ng paligid.
I ordered a tequila for myself. Mas bet ko iyon inumin ngayon. Pinapanood ko lamang ang mga nasa paligid habang patungga tungga't pinapatahan si Zahirayah.
"You don't want to join them?" tanong niya sa akin.
"Hindi na. Sasamahan na kita dito." I smiled at her.
Lalo pa't lasing na siya. Di ko siya dapat iwan dito dahil baka mapagtripan pa siya ng mga lasing.
I was enjoying the view. Gusto rin sumayaw ngunit nanatili ako doon. But I was startled when I saw the vacant chair beside me. Wala na si Zahirayah. Damn! Saan naman pumunta yun?
I stand up and began to walk my feet to search her. Siguro ay nasa dancefloor lamang siya. I look around to search for her. Pero sa dami ng tao ay malabo ko siyang makikita.
Dala ang isang baso ng tequila ay nakihalubilo narin ako sa mga andoon. I found Zamara, dancing with another guy. Mukha ngang nag-eenjoy siya sa nangyayari. Si Zara ang di ko matagpuan. This party girls, ba't ba parang hindi ako nasanay? By the way, I'm not a baby sitter here. Bahala na sila sa mga
buhay nila.
Nang nasa kalagitnaan na ako ng crowd ay sumayaw nadin ako. I imitate some of their moves, I shout like an idiot too.
Maya-maya pa ay bigla may mga nagtilian sa likod. I covered my ear to lessen the clamor I supposed to hear. Sa lakas noon at parang masisira ang eardrums ko.
I ignore it and continue my business. I suddenly feel a warm body next to me. He's in my back, trying to glide his hands around my waist. I turn around to see him. Isang mestizo at matangkad na lalaki ang tumambad sa aking mata. He's mockingly smirking at me.
I want to punch his face. Para kaseng binabastos niya ako. Shit! Am I overthinking?
"What? What do you want?" I asked him. Looking at him like I'm insulting his features. Pinadaanan ko lamang siya ng tingin mula baba hanggang taas.
"I want you. Do you have a boyfriend?" I really don't like how he smirks. Pervert!
"Yea I have," I frugally answered and rolled my eyes.
Tinalikuran ko na lamang siya at lumayo ng kaunti.
"Hey! I'm not done yet.-" shit! Ba't niya ba ako sinusundan?
"I said I have boyfriend already!" pagmamatigas ko.
"I'm not believing on you. You don't have a boyfriend, right?" he said with a malice look.
Can someone halt me to punch this guy? Fvck! Ano bang gusto neto?
"I have a boyfriend, okey? He's just around. So, kung ayaw mong mamarkahan ng pasa sa mukha, you better leave me here bago ka pa niya makita." singhal ko't naglakad na palayo.
"No I'm still not believing in you. Show me your boyfriend then." he was following me.
Mapapamura ka nalang talaga. What the heck? Ba't niya ba ako sinusundan?
"Yea I'll send you on him. I'll give you the hell you're searching for." I confidently said.
Sa totoo lang ay wala akong maipapakitang mukha. Who gonna be my boyfriend? Where can I find a guy to pretend as my boyfriend?
C'mon Natasha! You're not going to trust guys for this shit. You can punch him!
Habang nasa daan ako'y ramdam ko parin ang pagsunod niya. Wala ba talaga siyang balak na tigilan ako?
A small amount of premonition suddenly crept inside me. What should I do? Nang malapit na ako sa dulo ng crowd at paalis na sa dancefloor ay mas lumakas ang kaba sa aking dibdib.
"Where's your boyfriend that you're saying?" I heard him chuckled.
Dahil narin sa kaba ay bigla kong nabunggo ang isang lalaking tila nagmamadali din sa paglalakad.
"What the f- " he's about to curse when I halted him and I kissed his lips.
Wala na akong pakealam kung sino pa siya o anong hitsura nang hinalikan ko. I want to scape out of here. If I have to use somone then I will, makatakas lang ako sa mukhang burat na lalaking ito.
I just brush my lips against the man's lip. Akala ko ay wala itong magiging epekto sakin. But when his familiar manly scent filled my nose, I suddenly want to stop what I am doing. I don't have any stregth to open my dizzy eyes. I know that I am not drunk or tipsy. Ikinagulat ko na lamang ng tumugon siya sa aking halik. Dahil doon ay agad akong tumigil at tumingin sa kaniya. I furrowed my forehead as I saw how he curve his lips for a mischievous grin.
Your face is really obnoxious on my eyes, Zad.
Zadkiel Magnus Mathadeus. One of the Mathadeus superior and grandson of the Great Mathadeus. Ang may-ari ng sikat University sa buong suidad at karatig probinsiya.
Nang tingnan ko ang mestizong lalaki ay nakatulala na ito't di maipinta nag mukha.
"You're searching for a punch right? Here! He's my boyfriend." I smirked at him.
He was shocked about what I've said. Agad na lamang itong tumakbo paalis at parang dagang nagtago sa kaniyang lungga.
"Zad, what's the meaning of this? You have a girlfriend?" A girl in a sexy gold turtleneck fitted dress came and cried.
At ngayon, ako naman ang nagulat. Who's this girl? I'm just saving myself of the pete's sake.
Mukhang magkakagulo pa dahil sa ginawa ko. Shit! May sabit.
