Please Love Me

Chapter 18

We all went to one of the most famous ktv bars in Eastwood. I’m neither rich nor poor. My friends are

rich.

Enzo got us a private room. They ordered a lot of foods and drinks. We have vodka, tequila and

bacardi. Really? Are they thirsty? Sunny and I are only drinking shakes.

Sa libo libong pagkakataon na tayo'y nagkasama...

Iilang ulit palang kita,

nakitang masaya..

Enzo and Maico are singing right now while the rest of us are just laughing. So this is the reason why

Enzo got us a private room. He likes singing, but the latter doesn’t like him.

"Dude tequila hit you so hard, huh??” Zi teases to the other two.

"Fuck you Zion! I know you’re dying to get this mic!" Maico teases back.

They don’t easily get drunk. Maybe they’re tipsy, so they are becoming this crazy! Maico sat beside

Sunny who just shoved his head aside.

"Move Maico!Eew! You smell bad!" Sunny shouted.

I have goosebumps when Enzo starts to sing. His voice is not even good, but my heart is racing.

Naiinis akong isipin na sinasaktan ka niya..

Siguro ay..

hindi niya, alam ang yong tunay na halaga…

I caught him looking at me. I don’t know, but I suddenly got nervous. I feel like I will faint any minute

from now. Damn.

It’s getting late now, so I asked them if we could go. When we go outside the private room, we are

greeted by a bunch of loud people.

Enzo snaked his arm around me, and, again, I was statued in my place. While we were going out, I

saw the person that I wasn’t expecting to see. Really? Up to here? Monica is still here?

Enzo stood up straight and removed his arm from me. I gasped when Sunny caressed my back. What

the fuck? Sunny don’t be obvious.

"Ui guys you’re here.." a classmate greeted us

"Mind to join us?" Monica asked.

"No we are-- "

I am not yet finished with my sentence when Enzo pulled me to their table. Great!

"Guys! Who wants to sing?" asked a classmate.

"Tricia!" volunteered Sunny.

I looked at her deadly, and gave her the look of you-bitch!

My classmates supported Sunny’s suggestion, even Maico and Zion are cheering for me! I love to sing,

but not in front of the crowd!

"Please Pat.." I glanced at Enzo who’s smiling widely at me.

"Tricia please.." Monica said. Can I do anything?

I’m dizzy with the nicknames they’re giving me.

Enzo-Pat

Sunny-Trish

The rest-Tricia

OMG

I ended up going on stage. All of them are cheering for me.

"Go Pat!that's my girl.." Enzo cheered.

My cheeks are now heating up. I’m crazy if I will add meaning to what he said.

I chose a song. I’m sitting on a high stool chair as the lights start to dim.

Isip ko..Ay gulo..

Di alam ang gagawin..

Kung ako'y iiwas at seyo

ay sasabihin,na ako seyo'y may pagtingin..

Sunny probably knows whom I am singing this for.

Di mo lang ito napapansin..

I opened my eyes, and saw a lot of people staring at me seriously. Zi is looking at me intently, so I

avoided his gaze. I take a glimpse of Enzo who as well is staring. I’m feeling weak.

Meron bang makapagsasabing iniisip kita..

At meron bang may alam na laging hinahahanap ka..

Kung ako naman ay iiwas,

Malalaman mo ba..

I can hear the shouts of my classmates. Some of them are wiping tears on their faces. I can see a novelbin

teary-eyed Sunny. That silly girl.

I look at Enzo who is happily talking with Monica. Damn this feeling! I can feel the heat in my eyes. I

dont want to cry here. No.

Na ako ay may lihim na pagsinta..

I immediately go down the stage. Nevermind the claps and the cheers. I go straight to the bathroom to

let out the tears that I’ve been holding back for a while. I heard the door open, and I saw Sunny.

"Trish.." she said.

I ran to her, and hugged her. She gasped and caressed my back. My tears are flowing deliriously on my

face.

"It hurts Sunny..I'm so fucking inlove with him.."
