"You can open your eyes now, Miss. It's all done."
Nervously, I slowly opened my eyes as my full glam face greeted me on the vanity mirror table. Kakatapos ko lang maghanda ngayon para sa engagement party. This moment finally came, huh? Meeting with my true fiancé.
6:30 PM pa lang nang matapos ako maghanda, sakto na oras para sa biyahe namin papunta sa bahay ni Mr. Anderson. I honestly thought that we will be celebrating the party here but, it ended up that way.
I just went with the flow as usual.
"Sweetie. Are you done already?" Mom's at the door already so I stood up with my gown to come out. Naiinip na siya.
The ride to their mansion didn't take that long, it's probably a 35 minute walk or something. Now I get why Mom and Dad wanted to marry me off this family so badly. Exterior pa lang ng mansion nila, halatang mayaman na. But, I didn't minded it at all.
They have a fountain at the center when you entered the mansion. Sumalubong agad sa amin ang apat na bodyguards pagkababa namin ng sasakyan. Mas lalo akong kinabahan nang mapansin na ang dami palang tao rito sa event! I thought engagement parties only involves the two families will be marrying! Hindi naman sinabi sa akin na maraming tao rito!
"Mom, can I go to the restroom first?" I excused myself immediately when we entered inside. Mas lalo akong nalulula dahil sa rami ng tao! I'm not prepared, okay?!
Nang payagan niya ako, dali-dali na akong tumakbo papunta sa restroom para pakalmahin ang sarili ko roon. Nasa second floor pa ang restroom nila na ikinainis ko! I almost sang the National Anthem just to calm down myself! Hindi ko naman kasalanan na wala akong experience sa mga ganito, 'di ba?!
It took me like 15 minutes before coming out again and facing my misery right now. Agad ko namang nakita ang mga magulang ko roon sa isang bar table, nag-uusap kasama si Mr. Anderson. Dad gave me a formal wave when he saw me, asking me to join them.
And of course, with this stupid gown I'm wearing, I was having a hard time walking down the stairs to catch up with them! Halos hindi na nga ako makatingin sa paligid dahil tutok ako sa damit ko.
When I was already half way through them when someone bumped me, causing me to fall off the floor! Mabuti na lang at may sumalo sa akin kaagad! My head will be cracked already if this person didn't catched me! Thank goodness!
"Oh my god, thank you so muc-" My mouth formed an 'o' when I saw the face of the person who saved me.
"Oh, what a great timing. The bride and the groom already met." That was Mr. Anderson. "Son, come here and join us."
"Wait, what are yo-"
"I told you to not think of me when coming down the stairs." He smirked at me before offering his hands. Tulala ko na lang na tinanggap iyon hanggang sa nasa harap na kami ng mga magulang namin.
"Mr. Anderson, he is your son?" pangungumpirma kong tanong. Mr. Anderson just gave me a nod which made me shock more.
"I'm sorry for not introducing myself sooner, Miss." That low yet attractive voice made me turn my gaze on him again. "I'm Andrius Leo Chavez, the one and only son of William Anderson Chavez. And also, your fiancé." He gave me a long bow like I was a princess before smiling at me widely.
