III. And Im here to make you dance tonight. I don't care about my guilty pleasure for you.
Days passed, ganun pa rin ang routine ko at kasama dun sa routine na yun si Stephen, twing dismissal siya lagi kong kasama, at sa routine naman na yun, may nawala.. si Ana. Im feeling really guilty for not having our quality time, iba naman yung sa classroom iba rin naman yung sa labas diba?
I don't know how to make up to her though we're not officially best friends I already consider her as one. Pano ba `tu. Tsk.
Nagdidiscuss si Sir ngayon about the upcoming High School dance daw, wala naman talaga akong interes sa mga ganyan e di ko sana balak pumunta kung di lang...
"...you must participate in this event dahil this is a regular class day and aside from that, kasama`to sa clearance niyo. To make it short, You basically have no choice." just as my luck. Shimay.
"And this will be held on 16th of this month." Oh-kay.
wait. Did he just say
16th?! OH GREAT. Saktong sa pagdating ni Ralph! Physically pa lang yung nachchange ko tapos idadagdag pa ang
pagsayaw? Ayoko namang mapahiya noh, gusto nga niya ng loud na babae so dapat makikita niya yung babaeg yung stand out sa floor! Really, Really, Really, My Luck.
Natapos na rin ang class, break naand syempre sino pa bang kasama ko? edi si Ana. ^^
"Let's go?" She asked as she grabbed her wallet out of the pocket of her bag.
"Tara let's." I smiled tapos umunta na kaming cafeteria.
We bought the food we want tapos sat on the table at the corner.
"Namimiss na kita Jai.." Muntik ko ng maibuga yung Orange Juice ko sa kanya. Never pa kasi siya nagexpress ng ganyan e. I mean, nahihiya siya pagdating sa ganyan. Natatawa nga ako eh, pinipigilan ko lang.
"Ako din. Pero alam mo naman na I have to spend time as much as possible with your crush kasi diba baba---" naiwang bukas yung bunganga ko nung may figure akong nakita sa likod ni Ana.
"Ano ba, kadiri ka! Para kang natatae! Eee. " "Oo nga Jaira." Si Ana naman ang nagulat this time at naobvious pa yun dahil nabilaukan siya. Hahah.
Pinandilatan niya ako ng mata at binigyan ako ng look na humanda-ka-mamaya
"May kailangan ka?" Ganyan na yung way ko sa pakikipag-usap ko sa kanya, close na rin kami niyang lalking yan e. Ikaw ba naman araw araw mo makasama.
"I just want to inform you na absent ako today." HUH?
"Absent? Ayan ka nga oh. Present. natawa naman kami ni Ana nun.
"Slow mo! Wala ako mamaya so wala tayong teaching lesson.." Loading..
WALANG TEACHING LESSON? Bakit..?
"May gagawin ka ba??" Kasi first time niya `tong masskip eh. Ngayon lang walang teaching lesson, kapag wala yun..
parang kulang yung araw ko.."Yeah. And this is very important." May mas imprtante siyang gagawin keysa sa lesson namin.. I know I don't have any right to feel sad.. he has his ow life to live.
"Oh.. Okay.." Tumango lang ako.
"Um. Ano.. Kasi..--Okay then. Tomorrow then?" Parang may gusto siyang sabihin pero biglang ayaw niya na sabihin?
And again, tumango lang ako. Well maybe this is a sign na I should spend quality time with Ana.
Nung umalis na si Stephen bigla akong sinapak ni Ana sa kamay.
"Aray ko naman!""Di mo sinabi sakin na nanjan pala siya!!: binato niya ako ng kung ano man yun, kanin yata. Mahilig talaga siyang mambato.
"Pano ko sasabihin eh nanjan na nga siya??""Che. Pero anyway, wala kayong session mamaya!! Yey!! Jaira. This means magkasama ulit tayo!!" Halos yapusin niya na ako kung nasa same seat lang kami. Buti nalang nasa harapan ko siya at kamay ko lang ang minamaltrato niya.
Oo nga, quality time with her.
"Bakit mukhang hindi ka masaya?.." Ayan, Jai ngumiti ka naman kasi.
"Ano ka ba, naisip ko lang bigla si Ralph. at kelan pa akong natutong magsinungaling kay Ana?
I'd be lying even more If I say Im happy.
-
Uwian na ngayon at talagang di ako sanay na di ko kasama si Stephen ng uwian. Deym.
I shouldn't be thinking about him! This is wrong.
"Alam mo ba Jai.. si Dino kinausap ako." with that para akong binuhusan ng mainit na tubig at bumalik ako sa senses ko.
"Anong sabi?!"Wla, nangamusta lang. Ewan ko ba dun." Buti naman, kala ko nakipagbalikan na eh. Phew.
"Sigurado kang yun lang?""Huh.. ah. Oo." Why do I feel that she isn't telling the truth?
ang lakas ng loob kong mghinala samanta lang ako, big liar!"Tss. Sige na nga."Nagring bigla yung phone ni Ana and a sudden twist on her lips was evident. Sinong nagpapangiti kay Ana ng ganyan? May bago kaya siyang boyfriend?
"Teka lang, I have to take this. 
" She stood and wallked away.
Something is smelly here. Since when did she learn to walk away while on the phone, never niya pa akong pinakaitan na marinig yun. haha. WellI guess, privacy takes place here.
Mga siguro 30 mins. na siyang nasa phone so I decided to leave with out informing her, mukha naman siyang busy e.
FINE. Masama bang magtampo paminsan minsan?
I decided to go home, wash up and go online.
Pagkasign in na pagkasign in ko pa lang biglang nagIM si Stephen at sabay pa talaga sila ni Ralph!
`Stephen: Hey!! hindi naman yata siya Hyper?
`RalphRox: 1 more week Jai! 1 more week and Ill see your face again! that was enough to paint a big smile on my face.
Una kong nireplyan si Ralph since sa kanya yung last kong nabasa.
`Jaira: I know! Im so excited! dapat daw kasi iexpress ko yung feelings ko lalona pagkausap ko si Ralph. Instead of the boring responses I used to reply, mejo jolly naman daw ngayon.
Nireplyan ko naman si Stephen after that.
`Jaira: Hey! ^^`Stephen: Ayan. I like it more that way. eh ano naman? hahah. I mean, Im not doing this for him so why am should I care whether he likes it or not? and why am i even spending my 1.123 second of thinking about it?
`Jaire: Like I care. Blehblehbleh. Akala ko mag-aasaran na naman kami but he got my jaw dropped with his reply.
`Stephen: Can you come over please?`Jaira: What for? Okay ka lang?I glanced at the side of my windows where the time is located. 8:12. No chance, kahit subukan ko pa my parents wouldn't allow me to step outside even for 2 seconds at this time.
`Stephen: Ayaw mo bang magprepare? Theres 1 week left and we've covered just a bit about Ralph!`Jaira: Sino kaya ang nagskip satin? Hm? 
`Stephen: Kaya nga babawi diba? Tsaka today is your exam! If you pass, we're done.. Those words made me shiver for no reason. Pano na yan? Parang ayoko yung idea na wala ng magaantay sakin twing dismissal.We just missed class for 1 day yet I feel like I missed teaching session for 1 whole week! Masyado na yata akong nasasanay sa presence niya. :|
`Jaira: Ayoko pumunta.`Stephen: Why not? =( what's the sad face for? I guess he really wants this to be over.
`Jaira: Ill try..`Stephen: Yown. Loveyou! was that for real!?
`Jaira: HUH?`Stephen: Wrong Send! Kbye! WRONGSEND?! Baka naman tinotwotyme niya si Ana (kahit hindi pa sila.) ?! Nyeee. Bago ko pa siya mainterogate nagsign-out na ang loko.
Bumaba na ako para makapagpaalam kina Mommy. Lahat na yata ng santo pinagdasalan ko na sana..
wag silang pumayag.
Ayoko talaga e. Call me selfish pero.. ganun e.
"Mommy: Oh Jai, done your homeworks?" Sabi ni mom habang nakacuddle sa tabi ni Dad sa couch. YAAAK.
"Yes Mom. Um, Mom.." I said with a hesitated tone.
"Mommy: Need something sweety?" Sabi ni Mommy habang inayos yung eyeglass niya.
"Pwede po ba akong.. lumabas? I just have to drop something at.. at.. Jecka's house." Man! Jecka yung kaklase ko pa nung Kinder ako! Impossibleng kilala nila Mommy yun so di nila machecheck kung pupunta ba ako dun.
"Mommy: What? 8:30 lalabas ka?!" I knew she won't allow me!
"Okay Mom. Underst--""Dad: Wait, on the second thought, why don't we allow her? Matanda na si Jai Hun.""Mom: But Hun. Baba--""Dad: Let's spend sometime for ourselves. " Dad? Are you thinking of what Im thinking? OMG. Can I excuse myself? I need to vomit!
"Mom: FINE. BUT! You have to be back by 10! Understood?" I just nodded.
DEYM. Why do you have to agree dad?! Tsk.
I got dressed as slow as I could tapos I asked the driver to drop me sa kanto lang ng subdivision nila Stephen, if you're wondering pano ko nalaman ang bahay niya, he texted it just now. By the way, he asked me to wear a cocktail dress, the ones we bought para dawmas mafeel ko yung last lesson which I have no Idea what it is.
I sighed then pressed the doorbell.
Agad naman niya akong sinalubong and to my ever delighted expression
naka Tuxedo talaga siya.
As I went inside I asked him what's with the dress code but he replied with just an air from his nose. Pfft.
He opened the door for me.
May party ba?
What the hell are these for?
Eto ba yung important niyang gagawin kanina?...
"You did all of these?" The room was in a dim shade of light. Amplifiers in each corner of the room. A red carpet at the center which I assume the modified dance floor.
What surprised me more was when he was knock down his knees with a reaching hand..
"Think of me as Ralph and not Stephen just for tonight. Will you dance with me, pretty?" I felt teardrops on my cheeks.
And I know it wasn't because of that.. It was because of the banner I saw before he did that..
Congratulations Jaira Enriquez! You're now officially Ralph's Ideal Girl. Our lesson ends here.
And I know,the moment I take his hand..
It will be the start of something new and end of something old. So tell me, Should I take it or not?
Ralph will be on the next chapter na!!!
