Trials End

Chapter 74

"Brice, may sasabihin kami ni Blanca. Sayo ba muna namin sabihin or sa buong room na?" I asked him. I need to ask for his permission dahil siya ang nakakataas saming lahat dito.

"Just tell it to everyone." He answered me with his firm tone and stood up. Sabay kaming naglalakad papunta sa harapan.

He cleared his throat, calling for their attention. "Aiby and Blanca have something to say." He took a side step and made us take the center.

"So ayun, magkakaroon tayo ng fashion show, yehey!" Sigaw ni Blanca sa lahat.

I chuckled when I saw how their arched eyebrows, tilt their heads and parted their mouths. Still, they clapped their hands.

Siniko ko ang tagiliran ni Blanca. "Sabihin mo ng maayos, oy." Bulong ko ng mahina sa kanya.

"Hindi ko alam sasabihin ko eh." She whispered back.

Napailing na lang ako. "Blanca will hold a fashion week but the place, date, theme and guests are still undecided. Sinabi namin sa inyo, baka kasi you can give us suggestions or help." I told them habang lumiliit ang boses ko. Nakakahiya eh.

Blanca raised her hand. "I'll design the clothes and I have my mom's consent if I want to use other models."

I saw how their eyes shine and looked at Blanca proudly. This is a chance to show off her skills and talents. I was actually surprised when she told us her plans. I'll just watch and support her back.

"Fashion show? Is it for your friends and family? Or is it for your positive clients and business partners in the future?" Brice asked Blanca, he's looking at her seriously.

Taas noong tinignan ni Blanca si Brice. "I begged for this chance, there's no way I'll waste this for a fucking tea party with fake pleasantaries."

The corner of Brice's lips rose. "Let's make it big then."

"What's your theme? Do you already have designs?" Twilla asked her.

"I want my style to be sophisticated. I want my clothes to scream elegance. I want women to walk confidently, emitting an alpha vibe." Seryosong sabi ni Blanca habang nakatingin sa sa baba. It saddens me seeing her declaring her goal but looking down.

That's not how you do it.

"Look straight to your goal, Blanca." I whispered to her.

She smiled without looking at me and looked straight ahead. That's it, be confident first if you want your designs to show it.

"Ay parang gusto ko tuloy na ikaw na mag design ng damit ko para mukha akong matalino lagi." Biglang sabi naman ni Ayer habang hawak pa ang baba niya.

Tumatango tango naman si Ivo sa tabi niya. "Tama, gusto ko rin mag mukhang maangas at matalino."

Pinandirian naman sila ni Claud. "Ang dineseign po ni Blanca ay damit ha? Hindi niya kayang baguhin yang mga mukha niyong pang gago." Asar niya sa dalawa.

Deborah stood up. "Hmm, tama nga naman. Kapag gusto niyo tumalino, kay Brice kayo lumapit." Natatawang sabi niya sa kanila.

"Aba't, nang aasar pa oh." Bulong bulong ni Ayer kay Ivo.

"Eh, pre, malabo naman kasi yung gusto mong mag mukha kang matalino." Sagot sa kanya ni Ivo kaya nag tawanan kami pare parehas.

Ayer's eyes widened. "Abat! Gago ka, parang kanina lang yan din ang sinabi mo." Ang sama na ng tingin niya ngayon.
