CHAPTER 4: SETTLE

MIREIA'S POV

I anxiously tapped my foot on the floor as I kept on glancing at the clock mounted on the wall. I've walked on a lot of runways, smiled on what felt like thousands of cameras, and I have known what it's like to be under the scrutiny of a large number of people, and yet I have never felt this nervous.

O baka hindi ka naman kinakabahan. Excited ka lang.

Ipinilig ko ang ulo ko at bago ko pa maisipan na i-text si Belaya para mag-cancel ay tumayo na lang ako at naglakad ako palapit sa oversize-mirror na nakasandal bilang dekorasyon sa isang panig ng living room.

I looked at my reflection and uttered a silent thank you to the universe. At least hindi kita sa kabuuan ko ang kaba na nararamdaman ko. I still looked like I'm going to Coachella. I mean, pwede na rin. Music festival din naman ang pupuntahan ko. Hindi rin naman basta-basta lang ang dadalo sa event. May international guests pa nga na imbitado.

I straightened my top that reveals a hint of my cleavage. Kung hint pa ngang matatawag. I'm wearing a cream and floral off shoulder top with a suggestion of a detached loose sleeves and a matching skort with the same floral pattern. The end of the short itself stopped on the upper part of my mid thigh while the flowy skirt draped an inch below my knee. Sa balikat ko ay nakasabit ang kulay ginto na chain ng Saint Laurent beige quilted monogram bag ko. I'm also wearing my Valentino Women's Rockstud Alcove strappy high heeled booties.

Ang sabi ni Belaya huwag daw akong mag-heels. But I can't help myself because this one looked really pretty with my outfit.

Binigyan ko ng maliit na ngiti ang repleksyon ko. My lips that are adorned by blush taupe lipstick looked fuller, and my eyes are shimmering because of the gold smokey eye I had on. My photographer friend used to tell me that I always have this sultry and mysterious look. When you look at my face that's the only thing that people see. You'll see a beautiful face, but you can also feel that that's the only thing that I will allow you to get a glimpse of because deeper than that is a mystery.

Pakiramdam ko ay dumadagundong ang dibdib ko nang makarinig ako ng busina sa labas ng bahay. Kinuha ko ang phone ko mula sa bag nang marinig ko ang message tone no'n. I opened it and I saw that it was Belaya telling me that they're outside. I sent an okay to her before I hurriedly messaged my cousin. Sinamahan niya kasing mag-grocery si Naynay.

Gusto ko sanang tanggihan si Belaya pero lahat na ata ng palusot nasabi ko na sa kaniya kada mag-aaya siya. Alam kong nakakahalata na siya kaya pinagbigyan ko na siya sa pagkakataon na 'to. At least it won't be as intimate as a family dinner like when she invited me a week ago.

Bitbit ang dalawang box at ang susi ko ng sasakyan kung saan naroon din ang kopya ko ng susi ng bahay na lumabas na ako. A humongous van that is probably fourteen or fifteen-seater greeted me. The door on the passenger side opened when I got out.
