~Yrah's POV
"Tonight's my birthday! Kaya pumunta kayo sa bahay, ah!"
Masiglang anas ni Astrid habang nag-uusap kaming apat nina Avon at Hera sa restaurant kung saan kami noon nagkita-kita.
Noonbreak niya ngayon at imbis na sa hospital magtanghalian dito na siya kumain, kasama ko, si Hera at Avon.
"Sure. Ngayon na lang naman tayo nagkasamang ulit, eh. Kaya dapat lang!" Avon seconded gleefully as she put her hands in the air.
Napainom naman akon ng frappe.
"Wow, that's nice. Pwede ba akong dumalo?" Hera asked.
Tinawanan siya ng dalawa.
"Of course you may come, Hera! You're a friend now, remember?"
"Hmm, I like that. Sige, dadalo kami, 'diba Yrah?"
Pinuna ako ng pinsan at nang hindi ako agad nakasagot pinagtinginan nila akong tatlo.
Avon's facial expression shows hesitation. Maybe she noticed that I'm a bit hesitant, too. I stared at her pretty face. She's white, tall, pretty and looking innocent. Her brown eyes attract men constantly because they were beautiful. If my memory serves me right, that's her suitor's own words.
She's so gorgeous, with right curves and good social status. Mahaba rin ang buhok niya, wavy at kulay brown.
While Astrid's face seems so excited that her eyes even glow because of joy. I stared at her as well and noticed some minor changes on her. She glow up more, not even looking stress in her work and still very sexy. Among us, she's the most popular one. She also has beautiful face, good body, brain, and a handsome husband.
Parang ako lang yata ang walang achievements sa'min. Medyo nakakalungkot 'yon pero gano'n talaga.
Hera arched her brows when she saw me keeping my mouth shut.
Nagbaba lang ako ng tingin at pakiramdam ko nahihirapan akong huminga dahil alam kong kung ano man ang sunod kong sasabihin ay wawasak sa kanila.
But I have to, it's better this way. They are maybe my friends but the fact still remains that they're always reminding me of the past. And...I guess it's not yet the right time. I'm still in the dark.
"Yrah? Ano, pupunta ka naman mamaya 'diba? 'Diba?"
Nahimigan ko ang lungkot sa boses ni Astrid kaya agad akong nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya.
And the disappointment in her face made me guilty. It hurts and it's sad seeing her with that face. And it's her birthday.
"I'm...not sure. Marami akong gagawin."
"Pero minsan lang naman 'to, Yrah. Dati nga kahit busy pumupunta ka talaga sa bahay para sa birthday ko. Why now?"
Hindi ako sumagot. Nandiyan na naman, iyang dati nga na 'yan, 'yan palagi ang nagpapa-alala sa'kin ng lahat.
"Oo nga, Yrah. Saka matagal ka rin kasing nawala...kaya...pero kung busy ka talaga..." Avon also made a face.
Parang bigla suyang nanlamig at hindi makatingin sa'kin ng diritso.
"But it's my birthday...you should come after being missing for years..." Astrid added, malumanay ang pagkakasabi niya at napasimangot.
She's right. I've been gone for years and I just came back. Normally, I would surely attend her birthday party. But everytime that I am with them, I would always feel nostalgic. And I have a feeling it's not good.
"Couz. I suggest you come," singit ni Hera na may seryusong mukha.
"No, it's okay if she can't. Busy siya, Hera. May next time pa naman," si Astrid.
