"Ma'am, stand by po. Kayo na po ang next." Iyon ang sabi ng coordinator sa akin nang magsimula ang event.
I don't even know why we have to have a grand entrance when it's Papa who's supposed to have that. I'm sure everyone they invited knows something about us so this is not necessary.
But...oh well, I'm next now. I don't really have the time to whine about it.
Iginiya ako ng coordinator patungo roon sa entrada na papasukan namin. It was indeed a grand birthday celebration for my father. No wonder why the hacienda has been so busy for the past few days because a big event like this is bound to happen.
'Di mo aakalain na birthday party lang pala ito.
The coordinator motioned me to enter when the emcee called my name. Agad na nagsipalakpakan ang mga bisita. I was immediately welcomed by everyone's warm smiles and greetings. Kasabay pa noon ay ang sunod-sunod na click ng camera.
I tried to smile as much as possible. I made it quick because I don't really like the attention on me. Unlike Catalina who's now posing in front of the camera to reveal the low backless cut of her gown.
Tumalikod niya at saka lumingon sa camera. It was captured and the guests gawked at her. She smirked. She's truly a beauty and she knows how to capture people's charm. She must've loved the attention.
Tumabi siya sa akin. I shake my head when I saw her proud smile.
"Did I do good?" She asked.
"Yes," I answered simply. She giggled.
Nakita ko naman siyang napabaling ang tingin sa katabi kong si Ali. Kahit na hindi naman nakatingin sa kanya, mas lumapad pa rin ang ngisi niya. She then focused on Adela's entrance now.
Our youngest sweetly smiled and waved at everyone when she was introduced. I couldn't help but smile as I watch her. I didn't even realize that she's grown up now. Though she's still very young, I can say how much she's matured over the past years.
Nakahilera na kami ngayon at ang entranda na lang nila Mama at Papa ang hinihintay namin. Everyone's looking forward to it since it's never a grand party for the Elizondo's if my parents won't have a grand entrance.
Umugong ang buong hacienda sa malakas na palakpakan nang pumasok na sila Papa. He waved at everyone and greeted those tables who are near the entrance. I clapped along with everyone. I can see how much they admired my father. I can see how much they respect him.
I wish...to build this kind of reputation once he gets down from his position. My Papa is already great at doing this on his own terms. But I aspire to be better and wiser than him.
I want to show them that even though this empire was built by a man, a woman can definitely run it better.
That is why if I want that to happen, I have to work my ass off. There is no stopping for me. I have to prove myself. I have to show them that Papa molded me for this job and I can do it.
