Chapter 8

Max's POV

"Breath." I offered my hand as soon as we got out of the car.

She nodded and exhaled. "Just follow my lead."

Her hands were trembling that's why I pressed it softly to remind her she's not alone.

"Anak." I smiled upon seeing my mom walking towards us.

"You look beautiful, mom." I said after I kissed her cheek.

"Thank you, Max. You look stunning as always, anak." I smiled and looked at Margarette.

"Mom, this is Margarette. Margarette, my mom."

"He-hello po, ma-ma'am.." she softly greeted.

Mom smiled and hugged her. I can see shock from her face kaya I just motioned her na it's okay.

"It's nice meeting you, iha. Thank you for coming with my daughter and just call me tita."

"You're welcome po."

"Your date is so pretty, anak."

She looked away as soon as we made eye contact.

"Marunong lang talagang mamili si Max, tita." I rolled my eyes upon hearing that voice.

"Hiro." I called while giving him a glare.

He just laughed and did a beso kay Margarette and side hugged me.

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I am your cousin so I should be here. Dibah, tita?"

Mom just laughed. "What kind of question was that naman, anak?"

I heard Hiro and Margarette laughed. I just shook my head.

"I'll leave you three muna. I'll just entertain the other guests. Your dad will arrive later pa."

I nodded.

"Ikaw lang mag-isa, Hiro?" Margarette asked.

"Oo. Wala naman kasi si Elly. Siya sana ang date ko."

"Are you two dating?" I asked while putting my arm around Margarette's waist to secure her. I didn't touch her since I placed a gap naman.

"Kalma, boss. Wala kaming relasyon." Hiro answered.

"If ever meron, let me know immediately so that I won't get shock if nasa news na kayo."

I am strict pagdating sa mga models ko kaya I should know. He's still onenof my models kahit he's my cousin.

"Huwag kang mag-alala, Max. Hindi kami tutulad sa inyo-"

I was about to pinch him pero he run away. Tsk that guy.

"Hayaan mo na iyon."

I nodded. "Let's sit."

While we're sitting, Crystal approached us.

"There you are, you two."

"Hello, Crystal." Margarette greeted and they hugged each other.

"Wow. Bagay sa'yo ang dress. Did Max chose this?"

"Oo."

We beso after they talked.

"Gusto ko pa sanang makipag-usap sa inyo pero I'll entertain the other guests din with tita."

"Sure. We're waiting pa kay dad." I said and Crystal looked at me.
