"a real lady never cry, only weak girl does" those nine words are kept on repeating in Celestine's mind, she looked at the mirror and stare at her reflection "don't cry Celestine, your not weak, your not bothered, your unbothered like your mother remember" she muttered angrily to her self while looking at her swollen eyes
Luckily she's alone in the lavatory, she get a lot of tissue from her bag and wiped it in her face, she sobs but she put a bitter smile on her face, she retouched her make up before leaving the lavatory
She went directly back in her classroom "mama are you busy after this" Celestine asked Liza who is busy on listening to ma'am fe "come here" Liza said as she made Celestine sit on her lap
"Your making me a baby nanaman" Celestine said to her "your still a baby naman ah, masyado kang pinamature ng mommy mo, to the point, you don't experience what teenager this days experience" she said to her
"It's better to be mature that to be immature, nakailan pang umasa sa parents in order na buhay" Celestine said to Liza, "I'm not busy baby" Liza said to Celestine
"Really" Celestine asked her, being the first lady, means you rarely have a free time kasi lagi ka lang dapat nasa Malacañang "but don't you have anything to do" Celestine asked her again "I cancelled it all for you, besides I want you to experience what every teenager's do" Liza said to her niece as she kissed her forehead
After the meeting, the two Araneta directly go to BGC for a bonding together, they're escorted with 5 convoy, "where do you want to go first" Liza asked her niece, "uhmm can we go sa amusement park, I really wanted to go there since I was young but mommy always say no, pero she always bring Sofia there" Celestine said sadly to Liza while eating ice cream
Liza can't help but to feel pity to Celestine, no one in the family knew what's happening to Irene and Celestine but they notice it a lot of times na "ok we'll go to the amusement park like you wish, if that will makes you happy" Liza said to her, Celestine crashed her in a really tight hug while kissing her cheeks so many times
"Thank you so much mama, you're the best" Celestine enthusiastically said to liza forgetting the fact that she's in pain right now
"Sus nambola ka pa" Liza said to Celestine as Celestine chuckled "Edgar, sa enchanted kingdom tayo" Liza said to her driver and Celestine put her head on her shoulder "nako now I want a baby girl" Liza said to Celestine jokingly "then ask pops, tell him na gawa kayo" Celestine suggested
"Naka menopause na ako dear" she said to Celestine, who just chuckled, after an hour of ride they arrived at enchanted kingdom, they went down the car and they walked in the entrance "Celestine" they heard a familiar voice behind their backs
The turn around and they saw Sofia and Irene together, "Sofia, Irene what's brings you here" Liza asked Sofia and her sister in law "sofia asked me to go with her dito kasi nasa rank ulit siya, it may not be number one but two is better than three" Irene said to Liza
"Kayo tita what brings you here kasama ni Celestine" Sofia asked Liza as she looked at Celestine who's standing awkwardly "I actually treated Celestine, kasi she's number one sa klase, and oh Irene I'm disappointed that you didn't come to Celestine's meeting earlier, ako na rin yung kumuha nung cards niya, wait diba parang ako naman lagi yung nakuha nun" Liza said sassily to her sister in law and to Sofia
"Mama let's go na po it's hot in here sa labas and para makapag play narin tayo sa mga activities dito" Celestine said to liza as she pulled her papasok sa loob "can we come with you guys" Sofia requested and the both of them just rolled their eyes
"Ask Celestine it's her day" liza said shortly as Sofia looked at Celestine with a smile "wait why me, you're the one who- you know what nevermind join us, baka sabihin mong maldita ako" Celestine said to Sofia as Sofia hugged her really tight
"Thank you so much Tin" Sofia said while linking her arm back to Irene, Celestine can't help but to smile bitterly "I'll be at the lavatory" Celestine said as she went to the nearest public restroom
She went to the sink are she stare at her reflection "real girl never cry only weak girls does" she muttered angrily to herself, she tried her best not to cry as she angrily close the faucet
She get the tissue from her bag and angrily wiped it on her hands before throwing it in the bin, she went back where Irene and Liza was "ninang Irene thank you for bringing me here" Sofia said to Irene when she saw Celestine walking towards them
"Anything for you baby" Irene said lovingly to Sofia as Celestine stare at them in pure jealousy "Celestine do you want fries" liza asked Celestine who is staring at the distance "say ahhh sofipot" Irene said habang sinusubuan niya si sofia ang lasagna
"Celestine are you ok bakit ka tulala" she gained her senses back and looked at liza "yes mama I'm fine, if your asking me if I want fries, of course I want some sino ba namang hindi" Celestine responded and liza asked one of their guard to buy a fries to Celestine
It was peaceful until a group of medias approached us "Madam first lady, bakit po kayo nandito sa enchanted kingdom" One reporter asked liza, Irene on the other hand, sat beside Celestine and hold her daughter's shoulder
"Smile and don't frown a lady never frown" Irene whispered to her daughter and Celestine put a smile, Celestine knew that it's all an act for public display so they'll not embarrass themselves in front of the media
Celestine somehow wish that there is always a media so her mom will be close to her and tell her how proud she was, even tho it's all just an act
When the reporters left, Irene immediately let go of Celestine and sat back besides Sofia "nako sofipot you're so pawisan na baka ka mag ka sakit" Irene worriedly say at sofia "I'll go ahead na, Irene please take care of Celestine" Liza said to Irene who just nodded her head
Few hours have passed the three ladies decided to go home na because it's already dark, Irene passed Celestine a money "what's this for" Celestine asked her mother "go home by yourself, go commute may pupuntahan pa kami ni Sofia" Irene said and Celestine looked at her in disbelief
"What I don't know how to commute" Celestine said "then wait for your driver" Irene said and they left Celestine alone in Laguna, Celestine was left alone under a cold night
Celestine don't know how to commute, so does talking to strangers, she is walking around until she came upon a group of drunk men "anong ginagawa mo dito gabing-gabi na" one guys asked her and her grips on her bag became tight
The drunk men started wolf whistling and Celestine started walking a little bit fast and the guys started chasing after her "Huy miss ganda bumalik ka dito" One guy said while chasing Celestine
