I Love You [COMPLETED]

Chapter 29* Preparations

March.

*knock knock*

"Uhmm, sino yan?"tanong ko habang kusot-kusot ang mata ko. Its Saturday for pie's sake. Wala naman akong pasok.

"This is August Verlene, ate! Wake up! You need to wake up!"she shouted so loud. I stand up and opened the door.

"August, what do you want? Please stop shouting. I'm not a deaf."I told her while giving her a cold stare.

"Woah! Sorry, but mom and ate Sha told me to wake you up. You'll be preparing for your debut! Yey!"Wait what? Debut? Debut!? Oh, I forgot. Its already March 5 and March 12 is my bornday. Mag-e-eighteen na pala ako, ambilis ng panahon.

"Okay. Tell them I'll just take a bath then I'll go downstairs. Arasso?"sabi ko sa kanya. Tumango naman siya at umalis na. I closed the door. (Arasso -Got it?)

As I close the door, I immediately grab my towel and went inside the comfort room. After some minutes, I put on my clothes and finally went downstairs.

"Mom? Dad? Ate Sha? Kuya Sho? What's this?"tanong ko sa kanila. Pano ba naman ako di mapapatanong kung sobrang daming tao sa bahay. May nag-aayos ng mga damit. Checking their waistlines, etc. Reservations for catering? Hindi talaga sila prepared no?

"This? Your debut is fast approaching. This is a preparation. And I want to be the one who'll design your gown. Ano pang silbi na nagfashion designer ako kung ni kapatid ko di ko magawan? Hahaha! Just go with the flow, lil' sister."sagot naman ni ate Sha,

"Pero isn't it too early? Its still March 5 and..."bago ko pa matuloy yung sasabihin ko, sumingit si Dad sakin.

"No, sweetheart. Masyadong maraming preparations ang kailangan gawin. And to think, 7 days is just short. So no buts, okay?"

"Okay...dad."Wala naman akong magagawa eh. Hays. Pero pansin niyo ba? Naka-high ata ako. Nage-english na naman eh. Hahaha.

"Anong gusto mong motif, anak?"tanong ni mommy sakin.

"Kayo pong bahala, ma."sagot ko. Hindi ako makapili, andaming pwedeng pagpilian.

"Okay,"sagot ni mommy. Bigla namang nag-snap ng fingers si Verlene tapos tumayo pa.

"I've got an idea!"

"Huh? What is it, honey?"Dad asked Verlene. Ang sweet ata ni Dad samin ngayon? Well, he's sweet but he never calls us "sweetheart" or "honey". Nakakapagtaka lang.

"Since mahilig naman si ate sa music, pwedeng parang music studio yung theme? I mean, yung walls parang may stickers na piano designs or notes. Basta yung whole room ganun."Wow. Pwede pala tong mag-interior designing si Verlene.

"Your idea is awesome, lil' princess. What do you think, mom? Dad?"tanong ni kuya. Nag-thankyou naman at ngumiti si Verlene samin.

"I guess its fine with you also, sweetie?"sabi ni mommy. Tumango naman ako sa kanya to assure her that's it's fine with me. Besides, I really like the idea of Verlene. "Okay then. It's settled."dugtong ni mommy kaya tumango kami lahat. Ahm, about the catering, yung shop ni ate Amabie ang kinuhang caterer ni Kuya Sho kaya I'm pretty sure the foods will be so tasty. Pati sa cake ko, si ate Amabie din daw ang kinuha ni kuya. Nagworry naman ako ng konti. Diba may therapy si TX? At si ate ang nagbabantay? Paano niya mababantayan si TX kung busy siya sa pagpeprepare para sa debut ko?

"If you're worried about Timothy, bumalik na ang mom at dad niya from States kaya mababantayan na nila si Timothy."sagot ni ate Sha sakin. I felt relieved. Atleast, alam kong okay na si TX.

"So, let's start discussing? Venue? Time?"tanong ni mom at tumango naman kami lahat. Ansaya lang nitong preparations para sa birthday ko. Nagkausap-usap uli kami ng family ko. Well, we're talking everyday pero di masyadong matino, parang sobrang pormal. Haha.
