Cue of secrets

Chapter 19

Napa-aga ang Singapore trip namin, we ended up coming with our friends, Jia, Sinta, Ace and Jade. Erin and CJ couldn't come since they have company matters.

Si Papa na din ang pumilit saakin na pumunta na dito, while Mommy will handle the company for a while.

Shaniah didn't want to come, si Isaac din. They wanted to stay at home since it's almost the end of their first semester.

Pangatlong araw na namin dito sa Singapore, probably our last free day since we've come here for business.

"Let's just go sa Marina Bay Sands mamayang gabi. Mas maganda pag gabi doon e." Jia said.

"San tayo ngayon?" I asked.

"Universal Studios?" Alistair suggested.

"Kapagod! Matulog nalang kasi." Reklamo ni Ace.

"Ako din, mas gusto ko matulog." Sagot ko.

"Edi sana nagpunta nalang tayo sa Shangri-La kung gusto niyo matulog. Hello, nasa Singapore kaya tayo! The city that never sleeps!" Jia shouted.

"New York 'yon." Natatawa kong sagot sa kanya.

"Wag kang tumawa! Hindi kami natutuwa sa kwento mo!" Turo ni Jia saakin.

"Makita ko lang 'yun sainyo, Raelle. Titirisin ko talaga 'yun. How dare them make my sister cry? Yuck, Ace. Pinsan mo 'yun? Ewww!" Sinta teased Ace.

"Panget ka-bonding." Reklamo ni Ace.

"Let's just forget about those girls. Let's just make a plan for our trip. Shopping tayo, my treat."

"Even chanel?" Jia asked.

"Anything. I'm not in the mood to go somewhere today. The shoppes sa Marina Bay?"

"May gagawin kami nila Jade at Ace mamaya. Kayo nalang muna doon."

"Ayaw mo sumama?" I asked Alistair.

"I'll just sit on each boutiques you're going, mabo-bored lang kami."

"Then shall I book you airsoft here?"

"Ako na, Elle." Presenta ni Ace.

Jia and Sinta immediately ran when they saw the birkins flashed in front of the Chanel store.

"Sige na, choose whatever you like. It's on me." I told them.

"Kahit birkin?"

"Kahit ano."

Habang tumitingin sila ng bags, I saw a family. The parents are looking at something while the child is just looking intently at them, probably waiting for them to notice her.

I felt bad for the child cause that's what Shaniah was like growing up.

Lumapit ako sa bata and the parents looked at me with a surprised face. They probably know who I am.

"Hi, what's your teddy's name?" I asked the kid.

"Her name is Jagi. She's a bear!" She answered enthusiastically.

"What a pretty name. What's your name? I bet it's pretty too."

"Zandelle."

"Indeed a pretty name. Nice meeting you both."

"Let me tell you a secret," she said and leaned closer to my ear. "It's my first time being with my Dad. He always paid attention to my other siblings, but he told me it's my day with him. But I'm sad cause he said it would be last cause he'll be with another family."
