Life Buoy 4

Few hours after the awarding ceremony, Sheena and Nicki decided to prepare for the victory party in Nicki's room.

"Beshie, I can't believe we did it! Back to back Champs tayo with our Men's team! Wow! At talagang kayo pa ni Joaqui ang MVP! Yieeeee!!!! Bagay na bagay talaga kayo!!! I'm so happy, Nics!"

She looked at her bestfriend who was currently putting some make up in front of the mirror. She looked like she was in deep thought but she's smiling from ear to ear.

"Huy! Beshie, ano nasiraan ka na dyan? Hahaha! Parang inlove na inlove ah."

It seemed like Nicki didn't hear her at all. So she walked closer and tapped her shoulder.

"Huy! Ano ba besh?!"

"Huh? Ano ulit yun beshie?"

"Ano bang nangyayari besh? Lutang na lutang lang ha. Hindi ka makagetover kay Joaqui noh?! Yiiieee!!! Double celebration ka besh!"

She suddenly frowned hearing that from Sheena. It was supposed to be a double celebration, but her heart doesn't feel like celebrating for the other reason.

"Ha? No! Wala toh, Sheens! May naalala lang ako sa game kanina..."

"Yieee! Ano bang naalala mo? Kung paano ka sinurprise ni Joaqui with bouquet of flowers after game? Kinikilig ako beshieeee! Talagang pinagsigawan niya talaga na mahal ka niya eh. And the crowd cheered for the both of you. Grabe nakakatuwa na nakakakilig! Kinikilig ako talaga beshie for you, grabe si Joaquin, hindi ko inexpect yung "will you be my girlfriend?" eksena niya in front of everyone! Syeeeeet na malagkeeeet!!!!"

"Huh? Nakakahiya kaya yun! Hiyang-hiya talaga ko kanina. Hindi kasi ako sanay ng ganun. Ang sabihin mo ang lakas mambakod nung makulit na yun. Feeling ko tuloy nabigla lang ako kaya ako napasagot ng yes kanina. Now I dunno how to take it back...hays! Pero hindi yun. Hindi si Joaqui ang naalala ko."

"Hala siya! Ano ba yan, beshie?! Wala ba talagang kilig factor besh? Yung ganung big gesture niya walang effect sayo? Grabe na nga yung tilian kanina eh. Halos lahat sa crowd parang pumupuso na yung mga mata tapos sayo wala pa rin?!"

"Ewan ko, Sheens! Ewan ko na talaga! Alam mo naman I really don't like to be put on the spot. Pero iba yata naging impression niya nung pumayag ako sa lunch date the other day. Tapos kanina napressure ako. Nakakahiya talaga pero ayoko rin siyang mapahiya. Ano ba toh Sheens?! Feeling ko maling mali eh. Tsaka unfair kay Joaqui, wala naman akong feelings for him eh."

"Naku, don't tell me sinagot mo tapos babawiin mo? Kawawa naman yung tao beshie. Tinalo pa yung Isang Linggong Pag-ibig. Yung kanya hours pa lang waley na. If I were you, hayaan ko na besh. Matututunan mo din yan eventually. Nandyan ka na din naman, give it a shot na. Mafifeel mo din yan in the near future. Hahaha!"

"Hmmm...i really hope so! Tara na nga!"

She was trying to drop the topic because she didn't know how to share to her bestfriend what's been bugging in her mind since she met that bedimpled guy named RJ.

"Pero teka muna, sabi mo hindi si Joaqui ang naalala mo. Eh ano? O sino ang dahilan ng pagiging tulaley mo, aber?!"

"Ha? Wala yun, Sheens! Tara na baka naghihintay na sila Joaqui."

She stood up, got her pouch and walked towards the door. But Sheena was quick to stop her.

"Teka nga muna ha, walang lalabas ng room na toh! Spill!! Dali na!"

"Ha? Wala lang yun beshie. Wag na natin pag-usapan. Let's go na!"

"Grabe beshie, parang hindi naman kita kilala nyan. Bat ayaw mo ba sabihin? Ikaw, nagsisecret ka na sa'kin beshie. It's hurt beshie. Huhuhu! It's hurt!"
