Reclaim The Game (COMPLETED)

Chapter 07

#RTG07 Chapter 07

Papa was convinced na boyfriend ko si Sean, and kahit ano'ng deflect ang gawin ko, convinced na siya... Kaya naman para matahimik siya, I promised him that the next time na luluwas siya sa Manila, ipapa-kilala ko siya si Sean... At kung by that time ay wala na si Sean sa buhay ko, sasabihin ko kay Papa na namatay sa aksidente si Sean.

"I never thought this day would come!" Clary exaggeratedly said when I sent a text asking to borrow a dress para sa party ng mom ni Sean. I looked at my closet and was immensely disappointed dahil wala akong damit para sa ganoong party. Binigyan kasi ako ni Sean ng invitation... and sa invitation pa lang, alam ko na kung anong klaseng party iyon.

Agad akong natawa nang makita ko na may mga naka-latag na na dress sa kama ni Clary. May mga boxes din ng sapatos sa paanan ng kama.

"You're really excited," I told her.

She nodded. "Yes! I told you; you'd make a great model!" sabi niya. Kapag kasi walang prof sa school, ako ang pinagti-tripan ni Clary kapag wala siyang maka-chismisan. She'd bring out her makeup at kung anu-ano ang gagawin sa mukha ko.

The next minutes, pina-suot lang sa akin ni Clary iyong iba't-ibang damit niya. I was really nervous pero ayoko lang sabihin. Ayoko naman kasing magkalat doon sa party mamaya... Alam ko na mayaman talaga si Sean. Ayoko naman siyang ipahiya.

"Where's your review center ba?" she asked while trying to find the right shoes to match my black dress. It was just a simple dress tapos manipis na spaghetti strap and flowy. You can never go wrong with a black dress.

"Villamor," I replied.

"What? Why?! I thought we all agreed with Salao?" she whined.

I feigned surprise... Alam ko naman talaga na nagka-sundo na sila na sa Salao iyong review center na pipiliin namin daw para sama-sama kami sa soro... Pero ayoko silang kasama sa review dahil alam ko na sa club ang diretso namin malamang.

Graduate na rin ako doon.

4 years na akong puma-party. Tama na 'yun.

"Who's with you there?" she asked after settling with the strappy red heels. Ngayon naman ay nilabas niya iyong lalagyan niya ng jewelry. Casual lang. Akala mo hindi diamonds iyong naka-lagay doon.

"Not sure... I think Niko and his friends are there, too."

"Oh... So, Sancho, too?"

"I guess."

"Too bad you have Sean na, no? Sancho's got a huge crush on you kaya," she said while making me put on the teardrop diamond earring.

"What? No," I replied.

"Yes kaya," she said. "You're just always too vocal about not wanting to date law student, so he backed off first year pa lang."

What? Absurd. Crush ako nun? Wala nga kaming matinong pag-uusap nun, e.

"Anyway, you have Sean naman na, so his crush's moot and academic already," she said, and then beamed. "Finally! Perfect ensemble!"

Tumayo na ako, but she shook her head.

"Prepare here, please? I'll put make-up on you and then I'll just ask Manong to drive you back to your condo," she said, clasping her hands together. "Please, sis?"

I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

She really jumped. "Yay!" she shouted. "There's towel in the CR. Feel at home," she said.

Dumiretso na agad ako sa CR niya. She's living in a 2-floor condo, so malaki talaga... 'Di ko alam if corrupt iyong tatay ni Clary dahil anak siya ng governor... pero galing din naman sa mayaman na family iyong nanay niya... So, really, who could tell?
