You are the one

Chapter 8

It was my brother's birthday today that's why I am here entertaining some his guests. "Grandma, you should try this" I offered some dessert to grandma.

Yes! Some of our relatives came home just to celebrate my brother's birthday just like the grandparents and they are going to stay here until Christmas day.

"Isn't it too sweet?" Tanong niya pa syempre umiling ako dahil sakto lang naman ang tamis.

"Here grandma try it" inoffer ko na lang 'yung akin para ma-try niya muna iyon. "Uhm, grandma i'll just go there ha? I'll be right back"

"What's up Cali? Long time no see huh!" Binati agad ako ni Marco paano ang tagal na din nung huli naming pagkikita.

"Oh hi there Marco! Are you with someone?"

"Nah, still in my single era" natatawa niyang saad na ikinatawa ko rin.

"W-wow? Talaga lang ha" pang-aasar 'ko sakaniya. Nang biglang sumulpot sina Vaughn, Liam, at Ashton.

"That's for real, how about you? Single ka din naman"

"Hey, it's so happy to be SINGLE rather than to be in a RELATIONSHIP that will surely just HURT YOU" and yes may pag diin talaga ang bawat salita 'ko

"Well you have a point.. anyway! Let's just enjoy your brother's party"

"Alright! I mean yeah you guys should just enjoy it! It was so nice seeing you again, Marco"

"Ouch.. she just ignored us" rinig 'kong saad ni Liam kaya lumingon agad ako.

"Hahaha oh no! So sorry, well! It was so nice also to see you guys here!! Don't be jealous of Marco na hahaha"

"We missed you, Cali!!" Ani ni Ashton

"Miss asarin? Bwisitin?" I sarcastically asked.

"Both?" Malokong sagot rin nito.

"Uhm, I think i have to go na.. let us all enjoy the party okay? Bye guys!" Paalam 'ko dahil nandoon nga din si Vaughn sa tabi ni Ashton.

Nakakapagod din talagang mag entertain ng bisita 'noh? Nakaka-ubos ng social batt.

"Sis!!" Narinig 'ko ang isang familiar na boses mula sa pintuan ng venue kaya dahan dahan ko iyon nilingon.

"Aira? You're here!" Sinalubong 'ko ito at niyakap pa nga ako. "Akala mo naman ten years tayong hindi nagkita" pabirong saad 'ko.

Umirap ito at tinawanan ko naman "akala 'ko nga hindi na ako makakapunta eh"

"Bakit naman? You shouldn't missed my brother's party tutal humahanap ka ng pogi diba? Ayan! Manawa ka sa kapwa piloto at katrabaho niya"

"O-M-G!! You know me well talaga hehe!" Tili niya pero hindi naman iyon naka-agaw pansin sa mga bisita dahil may kanya-kanya rin namang ginagawa ang mga 'iyon.
