Chantall

I was here at the back of Tita Liz, eating some desserts when I saw Sandro heading somewhere kaya kinibit balikat ko nalang ito,

"Hahahahaha! Your family is so blessed to have a new member ha. How are you nga pala hija?" Governor Singson asked me so I smiled at him and bow my head, he's the Governor of the Ilocos Sur and they are a good friends with them.

"I'm okay, Sir. I'm more blessed to be part of their family nga po eh." I answered him and he tapped my arms. Nahagip ng mata ko si Jillian na patungo din sa daan kung saan pumunta si Sandro and my eyebrows met as my heartbeat skipped a beat.

"Wow! You really are in good hands. Do you already have plans of getting married?" I was just keeping an eye to Jillian until she's gone. I feel like there's something that will happen. My instinct told me,

"Chan? You okay?" I was taken back to reality when Tita Liz asked me so I looked at her and Governor Singson and nodded.

"Ahm! About getting married po Gov? Hmm, I don't know po eh. Si Sandro po kasi may hawak ng singsing. Hahahahaha!" I answered them and I excused myself, sabi ko di ko na kaya talaga pigilan.

I went on Cara's table and I left my heels there, nagmamadali akong naglakad patungong comfort room kasi papuntang cr lang naman yung daan na ito.

I carefully went on the ladies room and I checked each cubicle. My heartbeat are palpitating thrice at it's needed.

"Love me, Sandro. Love me back please and I will give everything. Anything to you." I gasped some air when I heard Jillian's voice on the other room. Masyadong napalakas. She's with Sandro. Oh God! Lord, please make the situation na naaayon sa gusto ko.

I slowly went on the other comfort room and there, I feel like my world stopped, my heart shattered and it made my knees felt weak. Jillian pulled Sandro's head to deepen the kiss and I was just here, looking at them, I can't even move. I want to stop them but how? My feet are eve stuck where I am standing. My tears began to fall and the pain stung in my heart that went through out of my body.

I heard a group of girls going here so I wiped my tears and I walked away, I went on my shoes and wear it,

"Hinahanap kita, saan ka nanggaling?" Tita Imee said so I tried to act normal and flashed my smile.

"Comfort room tita. Why?" I asked her and she shake her head. She gave me a Mango Graham so I get it.

"None, I just want you to taste my Mango Graham. I made this." My eyebrows raised and my smile widen as I get a spoon to taste it.

"Chan, masarap!" Cara appeared in my back while holding a plate of Mango Graham.

"Wait lang ha. Hindi ko pa natikman. Kalma." I said and I laughed, I took a one spoonful of Mango Graham and my eyes widen because of its taste.  Oh God!

"How was it? Masarap? Masarap ba?" Tita Imee asked me cheerfully so I nodded my head cheerfully, she clapped her hands and flipped her hair like she's so proud of herself.

"What's the tea here?" Tita Liz went on us and comb my hair with her fingers so I looked at her and smiled.

"Tita Imee's mango graham, Tita. You want?" I asked her and she get a spoon and kumuha din sa plate ko.

"Masarap 'no? Hahahah! Ako lang ito, okay?Good cookerist," we laughed on what Tita Imee said. I am looking for Sandro and he's on his way papunta sa amin and my heart felt heavier than a while ago. I breathe in and I smiled at him as he walk on us,

"Love," he said and he hugged me so I closed my eyes and hugged him back, will he say it to me?

"Hey? What happened?" I asked him and Tita Liz faced us with her worried eyes. He shake his head and kissed my forehead.

Baka he'll tell me about a while ago, I saw Jillian walking towards her Mom and she took us a glance first so I smiled at her and she gave me a smirk.

"None,I'm okay. Hm. What's that?" Sandro asked as he pointed the plate that I am holding so I smiled at him and handed him the plate.

"Do we have a Mango Graham na dessert?" He asked me and pinaupo ko na muna siya.

"Meron na. I brought it. I made. Come on, taste it." Tita Imee told Sandro so he taste it and nodded his head.

I am just staring at Sandro, as my eyes began to tears so I looked at the side and wiped it casually, like nothing happened. I just hate it when I look at Sandro, the scene a while ago flashes back to my memory vividly and it made me want to cry. It's so heavy, I am trembling in my place and I began breathing heavily.

"Love, you okay?" He asked me so I pursed my lips and smiled at him,

"Yeah. CR lang ako." I excused myself and get my purse when Sandro stood up and held my hand. I look down and ipinikit yung mata ko ng mariin.

"I'll come with you. Or you want to go back on the room, muna." he worriedly asked me so I shake my head.

"Hija? Are you okay? I feel like you're not." Tita Liz asked me worriedly, I sighed.

"Nahihilo lang ako, Tita. I'll go drink my Motion Sickness meds nalang po sa cr." I told them without looking at them first because my tears began to fall.

"I'll come with you, come on." Pamimilit ni Sandro but I held his hands on my arms and squeezed it.

"No need, Love. Mabi.."

"Congressman! Happy birthday!" i took his hands on my arm and I excused myself.

I walked faster towards the Ladies room and there I let out all of my tears fall. As I arrived on the comfort room, good thing na walang tao so I cried there, I let out my sobs and the heaviness that I felt in my heart, itinukod ko ang dalawang braso ko as I am crying. It's so painful, the pain is like killing me. The scene a while ago is flashing back in the back of mind, detail by detail. The way Jillian pulled him, the way they lips moved. I can vividly see it. I saw everything. I saw how they shared the moment,  but mas tanga ako. Mas tanga ako.. kasi, wala akong ginawa doon kundi tignan lang sila. Wala akong ginawa. I just let them and now I'm the one who's suffering. How I wish I can slap her face and pull her hair but, it's already done. And I can't even move a while ago as I saw them. I hate myself, so much.

"Mommy!" I muttered as I am trembling in pain and I let my knees fell down.

It hurts, so much. It freaking hurts. There's no words can explain how much it pain it caused me. Did he even think of me while he is kissing her? Did he?

I sighed and I closed my eyes as I shake my head.

No, no. I know. He did not like that, ayaw ko muna magassume. I don't want to assume first, Jillian just set him up. I'll just wait for him to open that up to me, I trust him. He'll say that to me.

"Chan, kalma. He loves you, he loves you so much. Trust him." I told to myself as I stood up but the pain didn't stop, the memory are still in the back of my mind.

I sighed once again and I washed my hands.

"Hi? You're crying?" I looked at her from the mirror as she gets her lipstick on her bag, so I stared shake my head and get a wipes on my purse. I cleaned the mess on my face and I rinse my face with the water.

"Hey, Doctora Tricia. How was the party?" I asked her as I am wiping my face with a dry tissue so she stared at me with a smirk on her face. I know she knows, she knows what her sister did and that made her a proud ate.

"It's fun. And we can go home now. Jillian is so happy na eh. We attended Sandro's birthday celebration for Jill eh." I smiled at her as she puts her lipstick back on her bag.

"Wait, pakibantay. I'll just go to the cubicle muna." she said at inilapit sa akin ang bag at inirapan ako and I just smiled on her. I rolled my eyes and sighed because mali yung pinabantay niya ng bag niya.

Ohhh! Gucci. Mukhang mamahalin. I took the trash bin and put the trashes inside her bag, and if the universe is really in favor with you. There's a lizard who appeared from the back of the mirror. I smirked and I bravely took the Lizard and put it inside her bag and closed it. Serves her right, sorry nalang na ininis niya ako. I'm not an angel as what they think.

I tapped her bag and smiled at it. I washed my hands and I applied lipstick and powder on my face as she went out of the cubicle.

"Thanks. Practice mo na 'yan because soon.. I will hire you as our kasambahay pag nakuha na ni Jillian si Sandro." I will make a face nalang sana when I realized that will make her happy. So I raised my eyebrows and flashed my sweetest smile. Remember, smile can make your hater more annoyed.

"As if. Hindi naman po siya pumapatol sa ugaling basura and sa basura mismo." I answered her and get my purse as I walk pass by her.

I bit my lower lip and sighed and put a smile on my face because I'll act that I'm okay. I can't ruin this day, I can't ruin his day, his celebration. Because once na lumabas ang tungkol doon 'yun ngayon.  Mas lalaki ang issue and worst, ayun ang magiging rason kung bakit matatalo si Sandro.

"Love? You okay? What happened?" I should be the one who's asking him that 'what happened' to him. I tried my best to look at him without thinking of what they did in the men's bathroom. But it all flashes back.

"Love," he worriedly said and held my both arms. I smiled at him and nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm okay." I answered and I wrapped my arms on his waist and I went with him to entertain and talk to his guest.

"Do you also have a plan to enter the Politics, Hija?" The Mayor of the Zamboanga asked me so I chuckled and shake my head. Kailangan ba na pag may boyfriend ka na politiko, papasok ka na din sa politika?

"No Mayor. I'm busy with my career din po and I don't think I can work as a model and an actress and plus that politician. And I can help people even though I'm not seated on the one of the government position. Helping is a choice, not an obligation. Because I can see, they just help the people once they are seated na eh. Political system of the Philippines." I casually answered him and he was amazed as he clapped his hands on me.

"Did you try to join National Pageants?" I raised my eyebrows on him.

"No, Mayor. And I don't have plans." I answered him and Sandro stared at me proudly so I just stared back at him and iniwas na din baka masira ang mood ko. I'm on the point of the situation to cry in front of him and asked him why did he kissed Jillian a while ago but I'm trying to disturb myself and act naturally towards him, towards the people, towards everybody.

I'll just wait for him to open that up to me if he truly did not want that thing na nangyari sa kanila.

"Aaaaahhh! Ano to?! Oh! God! Aaaahhhh! Butiki! Kadiri! Maaaa!" we all looked at the one who's shrieking, her bag is in the table with full of the trash from the Cr and I can clearly see the lizard crawling on her pink blazer.

"Ma! Take this off me!" Tricia yelled and hinubad ang blazer niya at binato ito.

"Who did this to you?" Leni worriedly asked Tricia as she slowly get her bag to check it.

"What's happening here? Ano ito? Are you trying to make a scene?" Tita Liz went on their place as some staffs are following her to clean the mess, may nahulog pa kasing baso at plato na nabasag

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry about it." Sandro told everyone and sumunod na din ako sa kaniya patungo sa pwesto nila.

"Eww? What's that? It's so mabaho. Kaamoy nila." I heard Jamie said so pinanlakihan ko ito ng mata. Nakakaloka. Huwag muna siya sumawsaw.

"Una, naggate crash kayo and now.. You made a scene and nagbasag pa ng gamit. Are you that mannerless and disrespectful?" Tita Liz told them and Tito Bong held her arms

"Excuse me? Sinasabihan mo ba kaming bastos at walang respeto?" Leni went pulled Tricia on her back and faced Tita Liz.

I was about to stop them when Sandro pulled me on to his back.

"Liz, huwag mo na patulan. Please." Tito Bong said and hinihila na palayo si Tita Liz.

"Mom."Sandro muttered and he held Tita Liza's arm.

"No taking of photos or videos! Please have a decent respect!" Kuya Matt said kaya nilingon ko ang paligid at isa-isa nilang itinago ang phone nila

"Oo! Hindi ba halata? Gate Crashers and maninira pa. Hindi sa inyo ang araw na ito kundi sa pamangkin ko. Get them," Tita Imee appeared on the scene with 4 PSG.

"Tita, hindi namin sinasadya. We went here to have a friendly closure with Sandro and Chantall.." Tricia said and that made me scoff. What? Really? Friendly closure?

Friendly closure na pala ang pag-aahas sa boyfriend ko? I badly want to say that but I'm biting my tongue to avoid saying it.

"Huwag mo ako ma-Tita-Tita. Dahil wala akong kadugo na basura at lugaw."

"Tita Imee." Sandro said

"Manang!"

"Ah talaga ba, Chantall? Ano? Masaya ka na? You did this? You put trash and lizard on my bag right?" Tricia looked at me so I pursed my lips and I'll apply my acting skills na dito. I can't ruin my name Infront of this elite people. And she deserves it too.

"Ha? What are you talking about? Bakit ako? Nandito lang ako, I'm entertaining the guests and you'll give all the blame to me? Are you insane?" I told her innocently and she rushed near me and I can feel my scalp pulled as she pulled my hair but Sandro immediately covered me at nabitawan nito ang buhok ko. Everyone shriek.

"Shit! Get them! Faster!" Sandro commanded the PSG and hinila na sila palabas ng hall. I bit my lips and sighed.

"Are you okay? Love?" Sandro asked me worriedly.

"Hija? Okay ka lang, magpahinga ka na kaya sa kwarto." Tita Liza also asked me worriedly as Sandro is fixing my hair.

I smiled at them and nodded.

"I'm okay, Tita. Parang 'yun lang. Ikaw? How are you?" I asked her and she caressed my arms.

"I'm okay. Don't worry." I smiled at her nalang and I saw Sandro's arm bleed from the scratch of that Tricia for sure.

Tita Liza and Tito Bong went up the platform to tell everyone to continue the night and act like nothing happened, Sandro also went on the platform to check the guest up.

"God! I can't with the scene that the Robredo's made. How squatter." Jamie said. We are here in the one of the table and we're talking about what happened.

"Sabi ko na nga ba kasi na walang peace pag nandito ang Robredo's. They always have bad incidents on their back. Always may gulo." Cara said and kinain na ang ice cream niya.

"In the very first place kasi, how did they get an invitation? Geez! They are just giving negativities lang eh." Xandra said. I'm just sitting here, watching them to talk about it. I am biting my lip as I remember what happened a while ago, gosh! Hindi mawala-wala sa isip ko. It's just making my feelings worst, why can't I just forget it? Stupid brain. What if.. what if ginusto pala talaga ni Sandro yung nang... no, no. He's not like that. He'll tell me everything later. He'll tell me about it. Magsusumbong siya. I let out a heavy sigh.

"Chan! Chan! Sama ka? Sa iisang room ang all girls matutulog?" I was taken back to reality when Jamie snapped her fingers in front of me so I stared at the three of them and they seems like they are worried about me so I smiled.

"Sure." I casually answered them. Good thing din kasi baka hindi ako makatulog mamaya if katabi ko si Sandro. That scene is still fresh and that can make me cry for the whole entire night for sure. I can't look at Sandro pa. for now.
