Trials End

Chapter 79

I saw Aldo talking with his parents. I looked at Keith who was already looking at me with his parents beside him. Ngayon ko lang naalala na close pala sila daddy sa Alinston and Ashford.

"Dad!" I called him.

When he turned around to face me, I ran to his arms and hugged him. "Happy birthday!"

Hinigpitan niya ang yakap at agad akong bumitaw para pumunta kay mommy.

"I forgot to tell you mom, dad." I held my mother's hand.

"Blanca will hold a fashion show for Cardioid and Anaudia. Please comeee." Nag puppy eyes ako sa habang nakatingin silang dalawa sakin.

No business and all. I just want them to support us.

My mom chuckled. "You know that I will always come if you invite me, right dear?" Siniko ni mommy si dad.

Dad chuckled and placed his hand on my mom's waist. "Of course, tell me the exact date and I'll clear all my schedules."

"Eh ako hindi ako kasama?" Napatingin ako kaagad kung kaninong boses galing yon.

"Kuya! You can come and bring my other kuyas. I'll just send you the invitation." I giggled and held his arms.

Ginulo niya ng onti ang aking buhok. "Sus, gusto mo lang isama sila Ross eh. You just want Ross's family to publish the fashion show in their magazine."

Kuya Ross's family is the owner of a publishing company. Books, magazines name it! Sikat sila kahit ano dun. Pangalan pa lang ng company nila, bibili ka na.

I chuckled. "Hmp! Bakit alam mo?" Riding on his joke.

My family laughed. "Of course I know baby, onti onti mo ng kinakausap ang mga taong mapapakinabangan mo." Dugtong ni Kuya Kaito.

I pouted. "Hindi ah! My friends also want to invite them."

"Don't worry dear, it's okay if you're approaching someone with an objective. Just don't use everyone who surrounds you. Hatiin mo ang kaibigan at business. Alright?" Payo sa'kin ni daddy.

I pouted. "Yes, yes."

Nag tawanan pa silang lahat dahil sakin. We just stopped when we saw the Alinston family slowly approaching us.

"Oh Kenji, you've already greeted me. What makes you come here?" My dad is teasing Sir Kenji, Keith's father.

Sir Kenji chuckled. "I didn't come here to greet you. My son has something to say." Sir Kenji looked at Keith.

My father showed some anticipation in his eyes while my mom was smiling at Keith. Is he going to talk about Heaven's Feel?

Keith stepped forward and stopped by my side. "I want to court your daughter, sir." Seryoso at diretso niyang pag amin sa daddy ko.

My eyes widened to his sudden confession. My father's eyes dropped dead and my mom's smile was strained. I looked at my Kuya if he's calm about it cause he's already teasing me but I saw him with his widened eyes. Kinabahan ako ng sobra nang makitang hindi kumikibo ang pamilya ko.

My father didn't answer him. Kuya Kaito just stared at him. Sir Kenji looked proud of his son.

I heard Keith's mother giggling beside my mom. "My son likes your daughter, balae." She made sure that everyone heard her word balae.

My mom smiled at her. "Cha, Let's not rush them. Balae." Panggagaya sa kanya ni mom.

I tapped my Kuya's back when I heard him cough, nasamid pa yata. I frowned inside my head when I heard my mom.
