Attention

REVELATION

Fiona was interrupted by a man who informed them that the orders had already been served and that they were needed for dinner. Fiona let out a sigh and decided not to say anything for now.

The sky at night was filled with countless stars. The events at Saud Beach were about to start soon. Fionabella made up her mind not to paint anymore and decided to join the events later.

"Fiona, come here na, baby," Imee called out.

Fiona left her room and smiled when she saw Tita Liza, Tito Bong, and Imee waiting for her at the door.

"They're calling for our presence, na," Liza stated. Fiona squeezed Bongbong's hand.

"Alam nila?" Fiona asked. The three nodded their heads.

"Yep. Itong si Manang nakikipag chika doon kanina kaya alam nilang nandito tayo at manonood sa events nila," Bongbong responded.

Imee chuckled, and they started strolling along the never-ending white sands.

They were wearing bohemian dresses, while Bongbong was in a sleeveless shirt and shorts since it was dark around.

The people nearby greeted them and smiled warmly. They arrived at the event venue and were guided to the VIP seats after being escorted there.

"To start off this event, we would like to acknowledge the presence of the Marcos family members who are here tonight. Good evening, Ma'am Liza, Senator Bong, and the lovely daughter of Mrs. Irene Araneta, although she's not here at the moment. Many were actually looking for her earlier. So, now, we would like to invite our dear Senator, Ms. Imee Marcos, to open this event," the host announced. Imee made her way to the stage.

"Good evening to all of you and thank you for warmly welcoming us to your event. Actually, we were supposed to go home, but it would be a shame if we didn't get to see this event. It's my pleasure to welcome all of you here, and I hope everyone will enjoy the fire dancing and the splash party later. Thank you so much, and let the event begin!" Imee concluded her brief speech. She returned to her seat.

As time went by, the cheering and music grew louder and louder. They decided na huwag ng tapusin ang event. Imee bid farewell and mentioned that they were going home. Fiona, on the other hand, tried her best to fight off her sleepiness. While walking to the parking lot, Bongbong and Liza carried Fiona's painting materials.

"Sayang hindi natin natapos but I enjoy it a lot. Thank you, Tita Imee, Tita Liza, and Tito Bong. Inaantok na kasi ako, e. Napagod siguro ako sa kakapinta kanina." Fionabella sulked. They laughed.

Bongbong placed the painting materials in the trunk. Fiona preferred to ride in the van with Imee so she could get a good nap, while Bongbong and Liza would take the car.

They were about to get into their own vehicles when Greggy's car blocked their way. Irene then stepped out of the car and noticed that they were about to leave.

"Manang, uuwi na kayo?" Irene asked.

Imee gave her a disapproving look. Her enjoyment diminished upon hearing Irene's question.

She felt disappointed with her sibling, especially with Greggy, and Bongbong had been holding back his frustrations as well. Imee quickly composed herself.

"Inaantok na si Fiona. Hindi na namin natapos ang event. Bakit kayo nandito? Hindi ba't kailangan kayo ni Clara?" Imee sarcastically asked.

Imee cannot come to terms with the fact that their plan was ruined because they opted for their dishonest daughter instead of addressing their weaknesses with Fiona.
