CERA
"Good morning, Ma'am Cera. I just want to remind you na mamayang 2pm po ang gown fitting niyo," Secretary Cruz, my parents' personal secretary, said.
"Okay, thank you."
When Secretary Cruz went out of my room, I laid my back and sighed. I hate birthdays, specifically mine. What's the point of birthdays? To celebrate that you're getting old? I don't care. Pwede namang magcelebrate ng kaarawan kahit nasa bahay lang.
I was supposed to sleep when Shanaira, one of my best friends, called on our group chat. Umayos ako ng higa at sinagot ang tawag.
"How's the preparation so far, Cera?" Shanaira asked.
"Okay naman pero alam niyo namang ayaw ko talagang magcelebrate," tamad na sagot ko.
"Sino nga pala escort mo?" tanong naman ni Anica.
"You know that I only want my brother as my escort but he's not here, so I rather be alone than have someone else."
I turned the camera off. Nararamdaman ko na naman ang pamumuo ng luha sa mata ko. Hanggang ngayon si Kuya pa rin ang hinahanap ko. Siya lang ang hahanapin ko.
"But your parents want you to have an escort. Si Mikael Nolasco kaya?" Courtney asked.
"Oo nga! 'Di ba nakakausap mo naman yon, Cera?" tanong ni Anica.
Madaling nagbago ang mood ko. I scoffed. "No! Hindi kami close at ayoko siyang maging escort. Hindi ko kailangan ng escort."
Mikael as my escort? There's no way I would agree to that. Yung pamilya lang naman namin ang close, kami hindi. Naging magkapartner lang naman kami isang beses sa isang quiz bee.
Mikael Jace Nolasco. I really hate that name.
