Chapter 3: The Last Day

Victoria Abbel's Point of View

"You really wanted me to tag along?" Pangatlong beses na naitanong ito ni Elizabeth. Halos dumugo na ang tenga ko sa paulit ulit niyang tanong. Still, I tried to be more understanding. She was locked inside her own house due to some accident. Ngunit ngayon ay pinapayagan na itong lumabas.

She knew that I'll be staying in New York, so she wants to spend more time with me. Kaya naman naisipan ko siyang isama sa party isang party.

"Wow! This house is beautiful, is it okay if we go there?" I facepalmed.

"Just come with me Eliza, I promise you this is going to be fun, and just enjoy the night, okay?" Tumango siya sa akin kahit nararamdaman ko ang kanyang pangamba. I think it's normal to feel that way, she's been locked up all her life. I wonder how her parents will react to this if they will know that I brought their princess to a party. Sometimes, alam kong ayaw ipasama sakin si Elizabeth. I don't know why? Mabait naman ako.

Anyway, we're here in the house of Alexander Coben III. I don't know the purpose of this party but I'm here to enjoy my last stay here in the Philippines. I don't really know when will I come back.

"Ang daming tao dito, Tori." Humawak sa braso ko si Elizabeth habang nakatingin sa mga maraming tao. Hindi ko maintindihan kung namamangha ba siya o natatakot dahil sa kanyang nakikita.

"Of course, this is a party. What did you expect? Parang hindi mo naman ito madalas makita sa mga series na iyong pinapanood." I shrugged my shoulders like it isn't a big deal at all.

"But still, it's different if you're the one who'll experience it firsthand." Pinaupo ko siya sa isang high stool at hinawakan ang kanyang magkabilang balikat.

"Okay, let's make things clear first. I want you to stay here and get drinks whatever you want and don't let everyone come near you. May pupuntahan lang ako at babalikan din kita agad." I smiled at my beautiful cousin but she just pouted her lips.

"Where are you going?" Tumingin ako sa aking gilid to avoid eye contact. I'm really a bad liar and I can't lie with my eyes straight.

"Just...just do what I say, okay?" Tumalikod na ako bago pa siya may masabing iba. I think it's okay to leave her here. Puro studyante ang nasa loob ng bahay ni Alexander at mukhang wala namang may balak na kunin si Elizabeth.

Stay safe, cousin. I whispered in the air. Ang gagawin ko talaga ay hanapin si Trevor dito sa party. For sure, nandito siya sa party ng kanyang kaibigan na si Alexander. Minsan, pinagtataka ko na rin kung bakit nagkaroon pa ng kaibigan si Trevor. He's someone who doesn't talk much and doesn't socialize with people that well, I wonder how can he make friends? Unlike me, I really wanted to have a true friend but what did I have in return? A bitter love life and a two-faced backstabbing son of a bitch. Gosh! I really hate that girl now.

I'm trying to look for Trevor in the crowd. At wala pang limang segundo ay nakita ko na agad ito. No wonder why I really like him. He stands so much in the crowd. Naranasan mo na bang magmahal ng isang tao at sa tuwing maraming tao ay siya agad ang iyong hinahanap at nakikita? 'Yon kasi ang nangyayari sa akin. Everywhere I go, I always look for Trevor's presence. I used to do that. Siya agad ang aking unang hinahanap hanap.

He's there sitting on the round sofa, with his group of friends and they are drinking brandy. Naguusap ang kanyang mga kaibigan siya lamang ay tahimik na nagmamasid. Kung hindi pa naman ako nababaliw at nasisiraan ng kukote ay iisipin ko na nakatingin din sa akin si Trevor. But I know better.

I looked at him with full of adoration and affection. Do my feelings reach him? I wonder. Someone says that girls should always have their pride and self reservation. Girls should never be desperate for someone's attention. Girls should be like this, girls should be like that. I'm getting tired of that kind of function. Society always has standards for everyone and I'm getting tired of it.
