"What should I do? Should I go there?"
Kanina pa ako palakad-lakad sa kuwarto habang hawak ang baba ko, iniisip kung pupunta ba ako sa competition o hindi.
"There's a part of me that wanted to go, but . . . Ano ang sasabihin ko kina Mommy?"
Think, Zye . . . Think . . . Use your brains.
Right! I can make use of that card now . . .
"Okay . . . And I am ready." Ngumiti ako sa salamin habang pinagmamasdan ang sarili ko sa full length mirror ko sa kuwarto. I'm wearing a pastel yellow crochet top partnered with a skinny jeans and some black boots will do for the shoes. Nagdala na rin ako ng tote bag para ilagay roon ang mga kailangan ko, nagdala ako ng extra water and hand towel para sa kaniya pagkatapos ng performance nila. I'm sure he'll be tired.
I braided my hair also to prevent it from being messy. I looked at myself one last time on the mirror before going outside my room. And as I expected, Mom is at the living room, watching TV.
"Are you going somewhere?" tanong niya nang mapansin niya ako.
"Meeting with my fiancé, Mom," I casually answered.
Bahagyang nanlaki ang mata niya sa sinabi ko. "I thought he's swamped this month?"
"He made time to see me. He called me yesterday and asked if we could meet." Parang hindi ko na kilala ang sarili ko ngayon sa mga kasinungalingan na lumalabas sa bibig ko. I really hate lying the most but . . . what am I doing right now?!
Mom gave me a sweet smile. "Go on, sweetie. Meet with him! Take care!" she said, urging me to leave already. I hid a smirk as I went on walking outside the mansion.
"Make sure to leave a good impression!" pahabol na sabi niya sa akin.
"I will. I really will."
