Christmas was finally over and I was back to Manhattan

Christmas was finally over and I was back to Manhattan. It was about two days to the new year. 

Gia, Danica, Camari and I were spending the new year's eve at Anna-Leigh's place. It was a tradition for us to spend the new year's eve at one of our places. During the previous year, it had been mine and it was Annie's turn that time around. 

 My phone had been ringing and mum had been calling me. I was actually wondering why the hell she would be calling me on the morning of New Year's eve. 

"Hello mum, " I said, pressing my phone close to my ear. 

"Hola Kalani, en realidad me duele mucho que todo lo que puedas hacer sea enviarme un mensaje de texto con 'Feliz Navidad' el día de Navidad. " Mum said, her tone sounding a bit sad.
{Hello Kalani, I'm actually really hurt that all you could do was text me 'merry Christmas' on Christmas day} 

It actually wasn't like I didn't want to call her since I'd called all of my friends, but I figured that she was going to be very busy with Pablo, but at least I freaking texted her. 

"Te juro que lo siento mamá.  Lo haría mejor la próxima vez. " I giggled with not even a slight hint of apology in my tone. To be fucking honest, I wasn't actually remorseful, but I had to feign it. 
{I  swear I'm actually sorry mum. I'd do better next time}

"Sé que no lo dices en serio, pero dicho esto, no fue por eso que te llamé.  Pablo me propuso matrimonio."
{I know you don't mean it, but with that being said, that wasn't actually why I called you. Pablo proposed to me.} 

No way, No fucking way!

"¿Esperar lo?"I asked in shock, there was no fucking way that could happen. Mum wasn't even the type to stay with one man. She was going to give Pablo a heart attack because of her infidelity. 
{Wait what? } 

" De hecho, estoy tan sorprendido como tú, él también envía sus saludos porque sabe que no querrás hablar con él.  La boda va a ser muy pronto" She said. 
{I'm actually as shocked as you are, he also sends his greetings since he knows you won't want to talk to him. The wedding is going to be very soon} 

I swear it was like everything was happening too fast, I was still trying to recover from the news of Pablo's proposal when she talked about the wedding. They both needed to fucking chill! 

That was going to be Nadine's third marriage and considering the outcome of her past marriages, there was certainty that this one was going to blow up like the rest. 

"This is just exceptionally crazy, but well. " I shrugged over the phone like mum was going to see me. 

"¿Cómo está tu papá?She asked. 
{How is your father?} 

I was honestly wondering what could have triggered her to have asked, I could hardly even remember her ever  speaking about him. 

" Dad's good. " I replied, going straight to the point. I was very sure Dad wouldn't want to tell her anything concerning him.
