HERA
AS I walk on my favourite spot‚
I could feel the wind‚ the sunlight
and hear the water rushing.
It's already 4 Post Meridiem.
Inilabas ko ang aking libro at magsisimula na sanang magbasa but my cellphone rang.
"Hello?" I answered the call.
"It's me‚ Lora. Where are you? I told you that we have a family dinner with your lolo... Where are you now? Umuwi ka na at alam mo naman na ayaw ng lolo ang nalalate." pagalit na sabi ni mama sa akin and she hang up immediately.
Nakalimutan ko na may family dinner pala kami.
I enjoy visiting this place a lot since it helps me relieve my stress kaya nakalimutan ko ang gaganaping family dinner mamaya.
Anong okasyon kaya at bakit may pa family dinner?
They only gather around when Lolo wants to discuss important.
Pag-apak ko pa lang sa aming gate I can hear mama ranting.
"I'm home." I stated at kaagad umakyat sa hagdan.
"Honey‚ faster we can't be late. Father will surely scold me." Narinig kong sigaw ni mama habang ako'y paakyat.
I lock my room door.
I wear plain royal pink bodycon puffed sleeves silk dress and royal pink stiletto heels. I simply let my hair hang loose and I applied fresh makeup to complete my look.
I need to look presentable to Lolo.
"Honey‚ come down! It's already 4:56‚ we need to go."
Okay, Hera.
You can do this!
Breath in, breath out.
You just need to pretend that you are happy.
I despise my relatives because they are all conceited.
"Lets go ladies," mommy stated "BEHAVE." she added seriously.
We arrived earlier than expected.
As I thought‚ the family meal was conducted in an upscale restaurant.
