Nagtatakang sumunod siya sa isang guard na tila inantay siya sa lobby ng hotel.
Nasa Shangrila na siya at nakasuot ng suit ayon sa gusto ni Sunshine. He also notice people in their formal wear going to the ballroom hall kung saan sila patungo ng guard.
"You can get inside now sir. Miss Flores said enjoy." Sabi ng guard bago siya iniwan.
Nagtataka man ay pumasok na siya ng ballroom hall at agad na may nakitang kilalang mukha.
"What are you guys doing here?" He asks ng makalapit sa mga kabarkada niya.
"We're invited by the President of Lores Company, How about you?"Blaine asks. "Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
"I-i don't know?"
Magsasalita sana si Chazer ng namatay ang ilaw sa paligid at tanging ilaw sa stage lang ang natira.
"Good evening everyone, thank you for coming in this charity event that is organized to help kids in need. We will have an auction and some games and all the proceeds will go straight to the charity." Sabi ng host. "But before we continue, may we call on the President to give a small speech for us."
Kita niya ang isang lalaki na kaedad ata ng daddy niya ang umakyat sa stage. He knows the Lores Company, but he never encountered nor know anyone that works there.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I know some of you may just saw me in person, while others encountered me multiple times. I organize to have this event it's because it is the anniversary of me becoming a father. Today is the day I became a dad to a child that was abandoned outside of the orphanage where all the proceeds of this events will go. It was not a secret to everyone that I can't bare a child. It is tough especially if you kno in your mind and heart that it's impossible because you live a healthy lifestyle. But it happened, I can't have a child of my own and that almost cost me my marriage life. Right when me and my wife almost file a divorce, this orphanage called us and see if we would love to foster a kid. Yes a six years old kid who is an orphan and that came from an abusive background. At first I was hesitant, but when I saw the kid I felt the connection. On that very same day me and my wife decided to adopt her."
Tumingin ito sa paligid. "And today I would like to introduce to everyone my only child, Sunshine Flores."
Ganun nalang ang kabog ng dibdib niya nang madinig ang boses ng nobya.
A spotlight circled around the crowd and it stops in a close door. And when two guards opens it ay agad na tumambad sa kanya ang nobya na tila ibang tao dahil nakasuot ito ng kulay puting gown, may bahid na makeup ang mukha at subrang ayos na ayos. Mas lalo itong gumanda.
Ni hindi mo aakalain na ito ang sunshine na laging madungis at basagulera. Ibang iba ito.
Sunshine smile to everyone before walking towards the stage with confidence. Habang siya ay gulat at hindi makapaniwala sa nakita.
Sunshine kiss her dad bago ito humarap sa mga panauhin.
"Hello everyone. Ang dami ko sanang gustong sabihin but I have one important thing to say." Sabi nito bago sinalubong ang tingin niya. "Hi Sinta." Bati nito.
Kita niya ang pagkabahala sa mukha nito bago nagsalita.
"This is the real me Sinta. Are you still willing to marry me?"
Tanong nito at hindi siya nakasagot.
