'La Magie'

DUH

7PM

Nasa venue na ng birthday si Bong.

He was busy socializing with the other cabinet members and some of the Uniteam senators.

Maya't maya din ang tingin niya sa phone niya.

Honestly he wasn't sure kung darating ba si Sara. 5pm pa kasi ng huli niya itong makausap and she told him na hindi siya sure kung makakapunta kasi inaantok daw.

At kahit namimiss na naman niya ang love niya, ayaw din naman niyang istorbohin ito kung nagpapahinga.

So he decided to just wait for her.

Habang nag aantay, Bong was all smiles chatting with the birthday celebrant.

However, not long after that, his facial expression quickly changed from happy to stressed when he saw someone coming.

It was Liza.

Oh God no! Not now..

Bong told himself as he stared at the approaching Liza.

As soon as Liza got to where Bong was standing, agad naman itong kumapit sa bewang ni niya at humalik sa pisngi.

Hi Hon! Surprise!! I'm back and I missed you.

Nakangiting bati nito.

Bong was so nervous na hindi na siya halos makangiti.

Pero para di mahalata, he tried to act casual and responded

Hey.. welcome back! Ba't di ka nagpasabing uuwi ka?

He asked.

Ay dapat ba? I wanted to surprise you.. I know kasi na you missed me. This was the first time in years we've been away from each other for a few days diba?

Nakangiting sabi ni Liza habang kapit na kapit sa braso ni Bong.

Bong definitely looked normal on the outside but on the inside, his heart was pounding.

To be honest, hindi naman siya kinakabahan dahil kay FL. Mas kinakabahan siyang makita siya ni Sara na very affectionate si FL sa kanya. Afterall, he invited Sara at that party tapos ganun ang makikita niya if ever.

Just like that bigla siyang napatawag kay Lord.

Lord please.. I changed my mind sana po hindi na dumating si Love please please.. I hope she's still sleeping at nakalimutan niya tong party na to.

He said in his mind

At mukhang effective naman kasi 8:30 pm na wala namang Sara na dumating.

Dahil dun, mejo nakahinga na siya ng maluwag. Grabe din kasi si FL that night halos ayaw na siyang bitawan. Bakod na bakod.

When he felt that everything was taken care of, tsaka lang siya nakapag relax.

At dahil party, syempre may sayawan so as soon as the music started, agad siyang inaya ni FL na sumayaw.

Actually ayaw niya talaga pero dahil sa kakulitan nito, wala na din siyang choice kundi pumayag.

Since the music was slow, it was a sweet dance.

Bong was just moving to the music while FL was hugging him.

In reality, kahit sumasayaw siya, his mind was somewhere else.

The dance was about to end when suddenly, something caught his attention.

May pinagkakaguluhang batiin sa may entrance.
