"Teka lang ano klaseng party ba 'to? Bigla bigla ka nalang nag aaya," I was clearly panicking. Sino ba naman ang hindi mag papanick hindi ba? Bigla bigla ka nalang dadalhin sa isang party.
He chuckled before answering, "Relax. Anniversary ng company namin. You don't have to worry okay? Kasama mo naman ako, "I sighed and nodded.
We arrived at Courtyard by Marriott and he parked his car. My hands were trembling. Hindi ko din naman alam kung bakit ako kinakabahan. He looked at my hand and wrapped it with his. I looked at him and he showed me his gentle smile. The smile I fell in love with.
Sabay kaming nag lakad papasok sa ballroom pero napatigil ako para tignan ang nag text sa akin. It was Elisaria kaya hindi ko na nireplyan. I was about to walk towards Tadahiro when I saw Shontelle in front of him, basically clingin her arms around him. Napa taas ang kilay ko nang may biglang lumapit sa kanila, they were around 60 years old.
"Aba! Kayo pala ang partners ngayon," the old lady said.
"Ano ka ba naman mahal, ever since sila naman talaga ang mag partner sa event na ito," sabat naman ng matandang lalaki.
I felt out of place already. I was about to leave when Tadahiro called my name.
"Oh there you are!" napa tingin din sa direction ko ang matandang mag asawa. Tadahiro went near me and grabbed my waist. Inalalayan ako papunta sa mga kausap niya.
"Mr. and Mrs. Moore, I want to introduce my girl friend. This is Dr. Celestine Eliana Vazquez," he proudly said. My heart jumped when he said I was his girl friend. I wanted to correct him but seeing Shontelle's face right now, I'd rather not.
"Good evening, Ma'am and Sir," I politely greeted.
"Oh my! I am so sorry hija. I thought Shontelle was his date for tonight," she apologized. I smiled at her.
"Don't worry about it, Ma'am. Seeing how she clings unto him, kahit ako din siguro. I will think the same," I looked at Shontelle.
After a few minutes of talking we excused our selves para puntahan ang table kung nasaan ang mga magulang ni Tadahiro. His mother stood up at sinalubong kami ni Tadahiro.
"Oh my! Celestine! I missed you so much!" she hugged me tight.
"I missed you too, tita."
I was sitting beside Tadahiro, habang kaharap ko naman si Shontelle. I noticed 2 vacant seats beside her kaya nag taka ako kung sino pa ang makakasama namin sa table.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Shontelle began waving her hand.
Tita Leora and the woman hugged each other. She was about to sit down but I guess she noticed me kaya bigla siyang nag salita. "Oh. We have someone with us. Hija sorry pero can you sit somewhere else? This table is for our families only." Napayuko na lamang ako. Nahiya sa nangyayare.
"She's my girlfriend tita," Tadahiro spoke.
"Akala ko nililigawan mo si Shontelle, hijo?" tanong ulit ng ginang. Tadahiro laughed at her question and he looked at Shontelle kaya napa iwas ito ng tingin. The lady faked a cough to ease the tension.
"Tita, Shontelle and I are just friends. This is Celestine Eliana by the way," he introduced me to them kaya wala akong nagawa kundi ngumiti kahit irap lang ang sagot sa aking ng mama ni Shontelle. Her dad on the other hand smiled at me.
"What a beautiful girl you have there, hijo."
The woman scoffed. "Tadahiro, saan mo ba nahanap ang babaeng ito?"
