Be With Him

“CONGRATULATIONS, PERALTA!”

I immediately ran towards my buddies, Uno, Dos and Tres.

“Ah! We’ve made it!” I giggled and hug them “I LOVE YOU, DOS!”

“Stop calling me that! You witch!” Steve jokingly pulled my hair, it’s funny how I end up creating their nicknames, Thanks to their Abuela.

“Canaryyyyy!!!” After hearing her high pitched voice I immediately turn around to ran and hug her “Graduated ka na! Sana all!”

“Loka! You’ll graduate two-years from now na din!” I hugged Lynx tightly, After being with her for five years I guess I can call her my best friend?

“Still can’t believe you’re friends with the Amathews-Suarez heiress” Gelo whispered so Lynx immediately hit him “Arte mo! Inuman na!”

Five years. Five years with them wala na ata akong atay dahil sa kaiinom ko kasama sila, bakit kase ito pang tatlo pinadala ni Kino e.

“Picture?” We all looked to Fortune who’s now disguised as photographer, Well dati akala ko nagpa-part time Lang siya, may reasons pala siya

Mabilis kaming nag dikit-dikit dahil sa mas matangkad talaga ako kay Lynx at dagdagan pa ng heels na suot ko ngayon ay pumunta ako sa likudan niya at niyakap siya habang naka-patong ang baba ko sa balikat niya while the two idiots hugged me, Steve on the right, Gelo on the other side while there’s Ken who’s inches away from us like he’s a father watching his toddlers grew up.

“Papa, sama ka na!” We end up laughing, it’s funny to think na sa loob ng limang taon ganito lagi ang pose namin tuwing magpi-picture.

“Okay! I’m not the real friend here! So kayo’ng apat na” I just frowned at Lynx, lagi niyang sinasabe iyan e tuwing tatanungin naman laging sinasabe’ng ‘they’re my best friend, andyan sila through thick and thins’ Gaga’ng babae.

After a few picture taking, and few solo picture with Fortune ay napagdesisyunan naming dumiretso sa bar. I don’t know why they keep teasing me to Fortune like duh? I just see him as a older brother.

“Hoy! Magiinom ka ng naka-toga?!” Lynx laughed at me but I just raised my brow and smirked. I removed my cap and threw it to her face but unluckily before it can even hit her face, nasalo niya.

“Oh! Shit! Ready na ready ha!?” They all laughed after I removed my Toga, I was left with a black tube and high waisted shorts and yeah… my Stilletto.

mabilis kaming nagsi-sakayan sa kaniya-kaniya naming kotse, silang apat na lalaki ay may kaniya kaniya habang kami’ng dalawa naman ni Lynx ay iisa, Well ako may-ari ng kotse siya magmamaneho, walang tagapagmana-tagapagmana dito oy!

“Prepared na prepared ha!” Lynx laughed at me nang kuhain ko ang isang gold necklace sa pouch ko.

“Ako lang to, Louiese, wag ka mabigla” and we both laughed crazily.

Excitement suddenly welcomed my body when I saw the neon lights coming from the bar.

“Let’s get wasted!” I and Lynx hop happily out the car saktong sakto rin ang pag-parada ng sasakyan nung apat, agaw pansin talaga sa ibang mga nasa labas dahil limang luxary cars ba naman ang paparada sa harapan mo e.

Well, After Five years I can say that the triplets are really successful, bukod sa pinanganak na mayaman napa-angat talaga nila ang negosyo nila. Well, Si Ken ang namamahala e.

“Oh! Sir Fortune!” I smiled a bit remembering that I first saw Fortune as a driver and a bartender but I just heard na he really owned this whole bar. Another Scam of the Year!

Gaya ng naka-gawian ay uupo na lamang kami at aantayin ang ilalatag ni Fortune sa harapan namin.

After an hour, kita’ng kita ko ang kalasingan ni Lynx, siya ang napuruhan dahil dinuduga na naman siya ni Gelo by pouring a lot of alcohol sa shot glass kapag sa kaniya na nakatapat. Ramdam ko na rin ang kaunting hilo dahil sa mga nainom ko.

“Never have I ever!” Lynx groaned on Fortune’s sudden suggestion, alam niya kaseng bawal kami tumanggi o dodoblehin ni Fortune ang singil sa inumin.

It once happened when Fortune suggested na paramihan ng inom pero tumanggi kame tapos siningil niya kame sa inumin nabigla pa ako kase parang ang mahal tapos nalaman ko sa isang bartender na tinriple pala ni Fortune ang singil, Kupal.

“Never have I ever kissed a friend!” Lahat kami ay natawa ng si Gelo lamang ang hindi nag-angat ng kamay sa tanong ni Fortune, he grab the drink and drank it.

“Never have I ever….” Gelo looked at me making me chuckled, sheyt ako target ” Never have I ever fell in love with someone through chats!” Hindi ko napigilan ang malakas na halakhak ng biglang nawala ang matatamis na ngisi ni Lynx.

“Putangina niyo pala e” sinamaan niya kami’ng lahat ng tingin bago uminom. “Never have I ever!” This time nang tumingin siya sa’ken ay alam kong ako na talaga “Never have I ever… stalked someone from the past” I smirked and grab the drink but instead of drinking, inabot ko ito sa kaniya.

“Sorry ka, hindi uso stalk sa’ken” she rolled her eyes before drinking another rum.

“Ayoko na nito! Talo na ako e!” Then with a heavy heart she left us before going to the dance floor, kunyare pa may nakita lang na hottie yan e.

“Putangina….” Lahat kami ay napa-tingin kay Fortune dahil sa biglang pagmumura niya “Reu?! Adamson Asunscion ba yung ex mo?!” I looked at him before nodding, Hindi namin napagkwentuhan ni isang beses ang lalaki’ng iyon dahil pinagbawal nila Uno o Gelo.

“Yes, why?” I looked at him confusedly but he just sighed and slowly raised his two fingers showing the peace sign and smiled sheepishly.

“I didn’t know na siya y-yung ex mo–”

“Good evening”

W-what?

That voice. After five years ngayon ko na lamang ulit narinig ang boses na ‘yon.

Mabilis ako’ng lumingon sa likudan ko at tama ang aking hinala.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He’s here. Adam my ex-lover is here.
