LOSTREGO SERIES #2: Twisted Fate

CHAPTER 10 part 2

The venue itself is on our house. Nakaayos narin iyon pagkarating namin ng bahay. Nandon nadin ang mga pagkain even the gigantic cake.

I could say that was fantastic and beautiful. I just can't wait to walk down to our staire case later wearing my red velvet satin off-shoulder gown.

My debut is in masquerade theme. And that was my mom Idea. And I also love that Idea kaya pumayag din ako.

But for now I want to call Lukas to inform him about it. Especially now.

"Hija, bilisan mo na mag shower may hinahabol tayong oras. Your make up artist as long as you hair dresser nasa kabilang room na. Mag half-bath ka nalang." mom shouted.

"Yes mom, noted."

Patakbo na akong nagtungo sa kwarto ko para agad na matawagan si Lukas. Pawisan pa ako all in all dahil kagagaling lang namin sa graduation ceremony kanina.

"Come on, Lukas. Answer your phone." I talk to myself.

Every rings on my phone makes me nervous and trembled.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang tagal tagal nyang sagutin ng tawag ko. Is he that busy? But I inform him yesterday na tatawag ako after my graduation. Nakalimutan nya ba.

Namissed nya ang call ko kaya tinawagan ko siya ulit. But after more minutes of ringing he doesn't pick it up. Oh god! What happened to you Lukas.

Nagulat nalang ako ng bigla akong pasukin ni mom sa kwarto ko.

"Hija, mamaya ka na mag phone you need to hurry. Padating na mga tito at tito mo even your cousins. Maligo ka na."

I bit my lips and nod to my mom.

Mamaya ko nalang siguro tatawagan si Lukas.

***

After an hour of hour of preparation my make-up, hair, dress are done. Pero hindi parin ako sinasagot ni Lukas. I tried to call him many times. Nagawa ko na ngang makapag send ng picture ko sa kanya na suot suot ang gown ko but he is not online.

Nasaan ka ba Lukas.

"You look really expensive. Gandang babae mo maam." compliment sakin ng hair dresser ko.

She got my hair look like a fishtale flourette updo which compliment my high cheekbones to pop out and makes me more to look matured.

My make up look is somewhat a vintage beauty which makes my eyes more intruiging and alluring because of the dark eye liner and faux eye lashes she's done. They also chose a bold lip-color faushia for the shades of my lipstick so I could stand out among the others when they see me.

And I love how my looks turns out, they make mo more matured, sexy and illegal. I gain a lot of confidence with this look. I am happy with it.

"Hija, the program will be start anytime soon. Be ready okay. I love you. You are beautiful." Mom said, and kissed my forehead.

I don't know kung ano ng nangyayari sa baba pero rinig ko na ang ingay ng mga bisita at ang hired pianist na tumutugtog na sa ibaba.

My make up artist already put my black lace masquarade mask on my face.

Bigla akong kinabahan lalo pa ng iwan na ako ni mom at may iilang tao nalang na nag aassist sa akin para makapwesto na ng maayos sa b****a ng hagdan.

My videographer is start recording me kanina palang habang inaayusan. Even my walk now he documented it all along. I am slowly walking through our stairecase and lowkey smiling on the camera.

I blew my breath as I hold my gown and to start walking down to our staires.

After I step one of our staircase the piano music starts to play. Nakarinig din ako ng malakas na palakpakan as I slowly walking downstaire.

Damn...that was a lot of people! I can't....Imagine how it works but...I have many visitor's now.

Parang kailan lanv namomroblema pa ako kung sino sino ang mga iimbatahan ko. But look at them now.

I hold my tears because of the too much overwhelmed feeling I got. Nakarating narin ako sa baba and Kuya Sandro held my pulse and he assist me walking to my throne.

Nabingi na ako sa malalakas na hiyawan, palakpakan at sobrang daming flash ng camera sa kinatatayuan ko ngayon. The MC start to high up the crowds before kuya succesfully escorting me to seat me infront.

Dad and Mom went to me and kissed my cheeks. Si Kuya naman binulungan lang ako.

"You look very beautiful Sienna. Magpakabait ka na. Please." Kuya Sandro tease me.

I hug him and lowkey pinching his hips because he ruin my mood. Okay na eh sobrang saya ko na tas aasarin nya lang ako. But still I love him.

"I am very proud of you my daughter. I love you hija." Dad said.

I almost got to shed tears on that. Lalo pa ng yakapin ako ni dad. Ganun din si mom na pinaulanan din ako ng magagandang salita.

After our short family moments. Sinimulan na ng MC ang program.

Nakangiti lang ako habang hinahanap ng mga mata ko sila Pauline at Sean.

Nakita ko naman sila Kalaunan kaya mas lalo akong nagalak sa tuwa.

Sinimulan nila sa pagpapanood ng debut introduction ko or should I say my debut presentation.

Tumili pa ako don lalo na ng nagsimula ng magplay ang video ko. Kinatawa tuloy iyon ng mga bisita at ganon din ako.

I feel embarrased to be honest because they will see me on the big screen doing my stuff I love while introducing myself to them who truly I am.

Buti nalang wala dito si Lukas dahil mas lalong hindi ko ata kakayanin kung mapapanood nya ito ngayon.

It was happy, fun and a lot of joy happened lalo na sa welcoming remarks, give aways and pati sa 18 candles ko.

Pauline has the chance to give a speech that makes me cry a little bit. The rest mga cousins at ang iba neighbor namin ang 18 candles ko.

Medyo doon lang ako naiyak sa father and daughter moments because dad give his heartfelt speech to me before he take the chance to dance me. At sa pagsasayaw namin umiiyak lang talaga ako at sobra sobra ang pasasalamat sa lahat ng ginagawa ni dad para sa amin.

Nagbreak muna ng almost 10 minutes after that. Inayusan kase ako ulit dahil iyak ako ng iyak kanina.

Pero nabawi naman sa 18 roses dahil hindi ko alam kung dati bang mga adik yung tropa ni Sean or talagang happy go lucky lang ang mga ito. They prepare a dance number bago ituloy ang ceremony. And a lot of my audiences laugh about what they did.

They prepared a sexy dance infront of my relatives and family. Akala ko magagalit sila mom but ended up alam naman na pala nila iyon at mas sila pa ang natuwa doon kesa sa akin.

"Okay, kumalma muna ang mga walang jowa. Sisimulan na natin ang 18 roses ceromony. In the first half of this program. Let's welcome Sandro Caleb Alcazar for the first dance!" MC announce.

Naghiyawan naman ang karamihan sa crowd at sunod sunod na nagpalakpakan after my kuya got called to dance with me.

Natatawa pa ako habang papalapit si Kuya sa akin dahil busangot ang pagmumukha nya.

He eventually held my left hand at siya na mismo ang naglagay noon sa kanang balikat nya bago nya kunin ang kanang kamay ko.

He pinch my waist also gumaganti sa ginawa kong pangungurot sa kanya kanina.

I chuckled on what he do lalo pa ng nagstart na ang mellow romantic song. Mukha kaseng natatae si Kuya na ano.

"Kuya, relax...gwapo ka naman e—"

"Shut up Sienna...I hate being center of attention. Let's just dance. Maganda ka din thanks." masungit nyang sabi while complimenting me sarcastically.

Jesus! That was funny.

We dance in a slow rythm we practice a week ago.

Lumipas pa ang ilang mga minuto na puro lang pang aasar ang ginawa ko kay kuya. Hanggang sa natapos ang turn nya at sunod naman na tinawag ang kasunod.

Mas naaliw lang ako kila Connor, Liam, Drake and Ashton dahil sobrang kwela talaga nila. Mga gwapo din tong mga to kaya sa tuwing sila ang nakakasayaw ko talagang naghihiyawan ng malakas iyong crowd.

Gosh! I know they are famous in our campus dahil kung hindi varsity, athlete naman ang iba. But I already linked to Lukas and I know they know it too. But still they can't help it to ship me with the other guys. Natatawa nalang talaga ako but still I appreciated their effort.

"Ay, ito na. Our very important person to be the last dance of this night. Let's Welcome Sean Klement!" The MC announce.

My visitors start to become wild and banging each other's table lalo na ng papalapit sa akin si Sean. Hindi din matigil ang hiyawan nila.

Nangingiti nalang ako habang naiiling dahil tawang tawa talaga ko sa reaksiyon nila kay Sean.

"Hi," Sean said, before held my waist abruptly on his body.

Doon palang naghiyawan na naman sila dahil sa biglang ginawa ni Sean. Isabay mo pa ng sobrang paghahype ng MC sa amin.

"Ayan na! Nakita nyo ba yon! Nag uusap din sila Ahhhh!" Tili ng MC.

Napayuko nalang ako habang tumatawa dahil hindi ko na talaga kaya ang mga ganap.

Even Sean holding me was chuckling on that scene.

The pianist start to play different song, mas sweet melody iyon na talagang nagpadagdag ng romantic feel sa amin. Even the crowds being so wild dahil sa music.

Gosh! I can't this is very magical.

"Shall we?" Sean said.

Tumango nalang ako habang nagsimula nya na akong isayaw sa mabagal na ritmo. Sinusunod kung anong napagpraktisan namin netong mga nakaraang linggo.

"You look beuatiful Sienna. Halos kabahan ako dito dahil naiintimidate ako sa ganda mo." sabi nya.

Nahampas ko siya doon dahil bahagya akong kinilig sa mga pinagsasabi nya sakin.

"You too Sean. You look handsome on your outfit. Hindi din kita lubos makilala."

We laughed and talked about happy things and teasing each others mistakes. Lalo na sa pagsasayaw namin dahil kahit ilang linggo na namin itong napraktis nagkakamali padin kami.

The MC starts to lament some jokes on us na bagay daw kami. Which is makes it more funnier. Even the crowds shipping us both but for me It is not affecting me.

May Lukas na ako eh.

Natapos naman namin ang sayaw ng matiwasay and he just hug me after that dance. Which is I let him be dahil talagang naappreciate ko ang mga ginawa nya sakin. For the help he is putting in this event is such a blessing to me.

Kung hindi sa kanya at sa mag friends nya pakiramdam ko hindi magiging ganito kasaya ang debut ko.

And I will treasured every moment of it with this happy memories.

After that 18 roses ceremony nauwi na iyon sa toast at kanya kanya na kaming angat ng glass of wine namin dahil after nito dinner nadin.

"Let's all have a toast for my daughter succesfully 18th birthday celebration and for her to start become an adult. And also Thank you all for coming. Have a wonderful night and let's party." Dad announce.

Sobrang saya lang ng crowd at kanya kanya ng banggaan ng wine glaas ang maririnig mo at malalakas nilang hiyawan.

We also hired DJ's na nag change ng atmosphere into a party type.

Matapos iyong sabihin ni dad nagpicture taking muna kami as a family, then to my others relative at sunod na ang mga friends and other visitors.

I feel exhausted but I am happy with the outcome.

Pinagpapalit muna ako ni mom ng light dress dahil dinner naman na at patapos narin naman na ang program.

Pagkarating ko sa kwarto ko gusto ko sanang ibalita ang lahat kay Lukas pero nagulat nalang ako ng mabasa ko ang text nya na bumungad sa akin.

Siya:

Meet me at the pool area. I'm waiting.

Happy birthday Sienna.

Halos tumigil ang mundo ko sa mga nabasa at hindi makapaniwala na nandidito ngayon siya ngayon sa Pilipinas.

So that means kaya hindi ko siya mareach kanina kase nandidito na pala siya? Oh my god!

Dali dali na akong nagpalit ng damit at patakbo ng bumaba para lang makapunta sa pool area. May iba pa sanang gustong kumausap sakin but I genuinely explain to them that I have very important things to do kaya baka mamaya ko nalang sila lapitan.

After they agree on that tuloy tuloy na akong naglakad papuntang pool area.

I almost gasped some air dahil kanina pa pala ako hindi humihinga. I look around but no shadows of Lukas will see.

Akala ko ba nandito nasaan? Is he joking me? But I though—

"Oh damn! hmmp—" I jolted to where I was standing because a warm calloused hand suddenly embracing me from the back.

And his hand is prantically covered my mouth to prevent me from shrieking.

"Happy birthday Sienna." Lukas whisper to my ears that gives me undiniably chills.

Kahit na nanlalambot ang tuhod ko nagawa kong umikot paharap sa kanya para salubungin ang mata nya.

"L-lukas." I trembled.

He smiled at me while sternly examining my whole body. After a month that we didn't see each other. I could say that he is become more so fit. Mas lalo siyang nagmatured and all.

He looks more intimidating and handsome. But it is okay! I am happy to see him.

He look away after, tila napaso sa lapit naming dalawa. He cleared his throat immediately at umatras sa akin ng bahagya.

What with this man problems?

Akala mo hindi kami vocal sa isa't isa ah.

"Your here! Akala ko hindi ka na makakarating. Thank you for coming Lukas." I said happily.

Tumango lang siya doon pero iwas padin ang tingin. Ako nalang tuloy ang lumapit sa kanya at sinalubong siya ng yakap.

"I miss you—" I cut my words not because of his groaning but because I feel a hard like-steel object poking on my stomach.

"f**k!" He cursed.

Bibitaw na sana ako but he just hugging me tight. Halos hindi na nga ako makahinga dahil sa higpit ng yakap nya.

"Let just stay like this for a while." He requested.

Natawa ako doon dahil alam ko naman na ang nararamdaman nya. Ganyan nya ba ako kamiss? His body is reacting to it. He just suddenly got an hard on damn it.

That was so funny.

"Grabe ka naman makamiss Lukas, ramdam na ramdam ko ang—"

"Baby, please...stop with your teasing. I am on my limit." mahina nyang bulong sa akin.

Mas lalo ko iyong kinatawa at hinawakan nalang siya sa magkabila nyang panga.

He look at me softly while holding my waist firmly. Ayaw nya ng bitawan.

"I miss you Lukas." sabi ko bago ko siya patakan ng isang halik sa labi.

Nagpakawala siya ng malakas na buntong hininga doon bago ako tuluyang pakawalan sa kanyang bisig.

"I wanna greet your parents. Let's go inside..." pag iiba nya ng topic bago ako hatakin papasok sa loob.

Wala na akong ibang nagawa kundi tawanan ng patago si Lukas dahil alam na alam ko kung ano ng nararamdaman nya ngayon.

I am in legal age now...baka pwede naman na right?
