CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

(Roswell's Mansion)

(Kath Rence's POV)

HABANG nagsasayaw ang lahat sa may bandang gitna ng hall ay nakaupo lang ako sa gilid at nanonood sa kanila. Katabi ko ngayon sina Rhian, Erich, Khendra at Yhannie.

"Gosh! I can't believe it! You're finally back!" ang masayang sabi ni Erich.

"Oo nga. Bumalik na rin ang dating Kath Rence na bestfriend namin. At mas naging maganda ka pa kaysa sa dati." sabi naman ni Rhian.

"Salamat guys." ang nakangiti ko namang sabi sa kanila.

"Pero Kit-kat, noong pinapanood namin yung bonggang pagpapahiya mo kina Riri, parang hindi ikaw yun. Sinapian ka ba ng masamang espiritu kanina?" tanong ni Yhannie.

"Ha? Ako? Sinapian? Hindi ah." sabi ko sa kanila.

"Ah, di bale na, basta't ang mahalaga, nakabalik na ang Empress Sweetheart natin." sabi ni Khendra sabay yakap nilang apat sa akin. I happily hugged them back.

Natigil lang kami sa pag-uusap nang makita naming lumapit si Sachi sa amin. At bahagya akong namula pagkat titig na titig siya sa akin.

"Good evening my queen..." ang bati niya sa akin.

"Ayiee! My queen pala ha!" at nagtawanan ang mga kaibigan ko.

"Bakit, masama bang tawaging "my queen" si Katy ko?" at tumabi si Sachi sa akin. 

"Hindi naman. Nakakakilig pa nga eh." sabi ni Yhannie.

"Anyways Katy, how's your ultimate revenge against Riri the pig and her three ugly allies? Masarap ba sa pakiramdam?" tanong ni Sachi sa akin.

"Okay na rin. Pero hindi pa ako kuntento. Gusto ko pa ng part two." I said.

"Siguro naman titiklop na ang apat na impaktang yun sa mga pinagagagawa mo sa kanila." sabad naman ni Rhian.

"For sure. Baka nga hindi na makapasok pa ang mga yun sa kahihiyang inabot nila." sabi naman ni Yhannie.

Nabigla ako nang biglang tumayo si Sachi at lumuhod sa harapan ko. Mas lalong nagtilian sina Rhian sa sobrang kilig.

"Katy, shall we dance?" sabi niya sabay alok niya ng kamay niya sa akin. Bagama't nabigla ako ay hinawakan ko naman ang kamay niya, sign na pumapayag ako.

"Yes." ang sabi ko sabay tayo ko sa kinauupuan ko. Nagwala na sina Rhian sa sobrang katitili.

"Let's go." at naglakad na kami papunta sa dance floor. Nahawi ang mga nagsasayaw na mga bisita hanggang sa kaming dalawa lang ang matira sa gitna. Nag-umpisang tumugtog ang isa sa mga kanta ni Auburn na paburitong-paborito kong pakinggan sa iPod ko.

Nang matapos ang kanta ay naramdaman kong muli ang mga labi ni Sachi na nakadikit na sa labi ko. Palakpakan ng lahat habang magkadikit ang mga labi namin. 

Sandali lang ang halik na yun at agad niya rin akong binitiwan. 

"Thanks for turning this night around. I love you Kath Rence Villas - De Vega." he whispered very softly, dahilan para muli na namang kiligin ang lola niyo.

"Villas - De Vega? Pero matagal pa tayong ikakasal...sige na nga, I already considered it. I love you too, Satchel De Vega."

He smiled and kissed me again. I kissed him back. At kasabay ng halik na yun ay lalo pa siyang napamahal sa puso ko.
