[ Chapter 34: Deep ]
Selene | Selvy
"Kumusta naman 'yong date niyo?"
Iyon talaga ang unang bungad ni Frencia nang magkita kami. Her mischievous smile is all over the place. Even if she has a cute bunny hairband on her head, her face shouts teaseful intent. She's the first person I spotted when Valan and I arrived at the Plaza to watch the fireworks display at close range.
"We didn't date," I said, shyly. I glanced at Valan to see his reaction but the punk wasn't paying attention to what Frencia said. Nasa harapan ang tingin niya kaya bumalik na lamang ang tingin ko sa dalaga. "Stop teasing me, baka gusto mo pag-usapan natin 'yong relasyon niyong dalawa ni Elliot."
Saying that name always made her face sour. "We are not dating in case you got wind of a rumor. Just to clarify, I will never fall for a man who only did was to ruin my day by just his mere presence."
"The more you hate, the more you love!" Miracle said as she suddenly arrived with the General. Her gaze turned to me and scanned me from head to toe. "Looks like someone did hate the dress."
"Don't force her to wear that kind of dress again, Lady Miracle." It seems like Valan's attention immediately directed to the new arrival. "Selene has a different style, and wearing your style is making her uncomfortable."
"Grabe ka naman, Valan," saad ni Miracle. "I don't wear those types of dresses unless necessary, right Dion?"
Dion didn't respond but his face shows it all. I had a moment to give him a respectful salutation that he deems unimportant to receive at the moment.
"Don't be too obvious, Miracle," Frencia interrupted. "Respeto naman po sa single dito, please. Manonood tayo ng fireworks, hindi maiingit sa pagmamahalan niyo!"
Naunang naglakad si Frencia pagkatapos niyang hablotin ang dinalang pagkain nina Miracle at Dion. Nagkatingin lamang kaming dalawa ni Miracle at bago paman ako makapagsalita ay hinila niya ako palayo sa dalawa.
"May nangyari ba sa inyo?" mabilis niyang tanong nang makalayo-layo na kami. Gusto ko siyang sapakin dahil sa uri ng tanong niya pero maraming tao.
"Wala," simpleng sagot ko.
"Bakit iba na ang damit mo?" agad niyang tanong.
"Kasi ayaw niya na hindi ako komportable," sagot ko naman agad.
Napansin kong nag-usap ang dalawa nang iwan namin sila, at bahagyang sumulyap si Valan sa gawi namin. I end up giving a weird awkward smile. My attention went back to Miracle when she pulled me closer.
"Valan is supposed to go back to the Palace as Dion said, but he said he won't go. Mukhang may mangyayaring maganda ngayong gabi," nang-aasar na saad nito sa akin habang mukha naman siyang uod sa kilig. Halatang ginaganahan siyang asarin ako ngayon.
"Tumigil ka," pagbabanta ko.
"Want some advice?" she said as if this conversation is truly good to even prolong. "Do it in bed, preferably his bed."
Kinurot ko ang tagiliran niya dahil sa hiya. "Umayos ka."
"Maayos ako, maganda nga ang suot ko ngayon eh," sagot niya na parang iniwasan ang ibig kong sabihin. "Huwag kayo mag-comdom para sumabog sa galit si Fate-"
I pulled her braided hair to stop her from nagging more. Ako 'yong nahihiya sa mga pinagsasabi ng babaeng 'to, mas malala pa siya sa dating Miracle. I gave her a glare as an indicator for her to stop furthering her speech. In exchange, Miracle just gave me a mischievous smile.
