Capítulo 30: Follow my lead
Dennis knew about the over-protectiveness of Eya's parents. He thought a lot of things to be on their good side but Eya dismissed his plans as she knew her parents well. The only man her parents felt assured and comfortable with was Zick, no more no less.
Even though it was just the twenty-seventh birthday of Amila, the first dance would always be a part of the program. When the masters of ceremony requested the celebrant and her escort for the night to occupy the stage, a slow and melodious rhythm played. Zick didn't know that there was this part where he would be expected to dance and he had no idea how to dance. He was lucky enough that the two girls close to him didn't celebrate their début party in an extravagant manner. He thought that he wouldn't be going to dance like this ever.
Amila saw his crumpled forehead. She already got a hint that Zick wasn't aware of the flow of the program and didn't know that there was a first dance to happen. "Zick, just follow my lead if you don't know how to dance the waltz."
Zick felt useless after hearing her say, 'if you don't know how to dance the waltz'. It was just a fucking simple waltz, but he didn't know how to dance it well. He felt frustrated about it.
After the first half of the song, couples, usually married couples, entered the center stage. They swayed their bodies to the rhythm from the stereo. Even Mr. and Mrs. Alcantara went to the center stage.
Single youngsters such as Zoey were left at their table. She cupped her chin with her arm on top of the table when Michael appeared on her side.
"Can I have this dance with you, my love?" He reached his hand to Zoey asking her to hold his hand. He wanted to savor this chance to dance with her.
It's said that there is no smoke if there is no fire. His heart's desire to claim her back was ignited after seeing her in the wedding party of his cousin.
He thought that he just wanted to claim her back for the sake of his reputation. Everyone knew how affection he was to Zoey when they were kids. She was his first love back then but no one expected that he will cheat on her with her best friend.
He didn't care about the existence of that Nickel as he was determined to bring her back to him.
Zoey looked at his hand in front of her she just rolled her eyes in response. She didn't even bother to utter any word to him. She was treating him like an invisible man.
'This guy is so fucked up! He boils my blood!' she thought.
Zick and Amila stopped the dance when a few couples joined them on the stage. He whispered to her after three couples joined them, that they have to stop as he was very uncomfortable dancing before everyone's eye.
Indeed, after the third couple had entered the stage, Zick removed his hand from Amila's hand and waist. He decided to go back to his family table and try to rest. Both of his legs were angry with him because of standing since that day started.
After leaving Amila, he went first to the buffet table and took some food to eat. He walked slowly to their table. Zick was stuffing himself with some finger food which he got from the buffet table when he saw a familiar figure in front of his sister.
Although Zick didn't know the entire story of his sister and this guy, he already felt disturbed seeing him pestering his sister again and again. He took some hint from their last encounter. He felt that his sister had an unpleasant experience with that guy which might be the reason she decided to fly away from home by herself.
Zick placed his plate on the table and grabbed his sister's hand. He tramped towards the stage towing his sister behind. He hated himself that he only got this excuse as an escape to save his sister from that guy.
"Kuya, why did you bring me here? You don't know how to dance." Zoey was teasing him at that moment.
"You don't have to remind about that! I only used this excuse to drive him away from you. Or you want to stay there with him? Your choice."
Zoey slightly hugged her brother after learning about his intentions. She didn't expect him to care for her this much. "Of course not! I would rather love to dance with your two left feet than to waste my precious time with that asshole."
