Fortaleza Residence Azucena, Philippines
Isang engrandeng pagtitipon ang nagaganap ngayon sa magarang bakuran ng mga Fortaleza. Punong-puno ng mga ilaw ang paligid. Nakikisabay sa malamyos na musika ang lagtingan ng mga wine glasses at tawanan ng mga taong naroon. Don Sixto turns fifty today. His lavish celebration is attended by all the wealthy and well-known.
"Honey, please don't leave the party, all right? Your father will search for you." wika ni Doña Marian sa disi-sais anyos na anak. She was well aware that his son hated big parties. Mabilis itong mabagot sa mga ganoong pagkakataon at mapili ito sa mga taong nais pakitunguhan.
"What a tall and handsome boy you have raised, kumare. The last time I saw him, he was just a little kid; was it in Spain or Russia?" A kumare of hers asked. "Oh, yes, I've remembered it now; it's in Manhattan, New York! Right?"
"No, it's in Australia on my wedding anniversary." wika ng isa niyang kumare.
Marian chuckled and confirmed with a nod. "Yeah, it's in Australia," She smiled. "Harry is sixteen years old now; all grown up and very intelligent like his father!" Marian sounded so proud.
Isa sa mga kumare niya ay nag tanong, "I heard he will study abroad next year?"
"It's true, kumare. All four Ivy League universities admitted him. Yet, we will allow him to choose his educational path."
"That's nice," they say.
Bla bla bla bla...
Harry has zero interest in the topic at hand. He looked bored to death. Naiinip na nilingon niya ang kanyang ina na abala sa pakikipagsosyalan sa mga kaibigan nito. Ipinakilala siya nito sa mga kausap. Itong mga kaibigan naman ng mommy niya ay nirereto siya sa kani-kanilang mga anak na dalaga.
And he hated it.
Harry knew he was handsome, and he wanted to express his appreciation to his parents for their divinely bestowed DNA. But he also knew that his social standing was why most women flocked to him. His family's fortune was estimated to be billions of dollars. Make sense?
Pinaglakbay niya ang mata sa paligid para hanapin ang mga kaibigan. Napatawa siya nang matanaw niya ang mga ito. Tulad niya, mababakas sa mukha ng mga ito ang pigil na pagkayamot at pagkabagot. Hindi lang makaimik dahil katabi ang mga magulang. Dinukot niya ang cellphone sa bulsa at chinat ang mga ito sa kanilang GC.
Harry: Let's go somewhere, guys. I'm so bored.
Di nagtagal, he received a reply.
Lenard: You know, I can't do that. Dad's gonna kill me.
Felix: Same here. My entire family will disown me. Pass muna, bro.
Walter: Yeah, me too. My mom has a list of potential girlfriends she wishes me to talk to.
