"Put some glitters in her shoulders too Anne"
Utos ni mommy sa isang make up artist
I have three make up artist and mom is so paranoid that someone will grab the spotlight with me . I'm just ignoring her an hour ago but my ears, its near to bleed if mom don't stop from what she's saying to these people.Hinawi ko na ang huling inutusan ni mommy para mag lagay pa ng glitters sa shoulder ko. I don't think so that it will make better with me, my skin is not as white as ate and kuya have. When i ask mom about it she said that it's called morena. So my skin color is morena? My lips are in thin curve shape,my eyes are chinita type, my check bone are high, my brows are in a snob type. I got it from my father side all his features are mine, just my attitude is from my mom as per said by daddy.
"Mom stop it already..thank you po for making me a beautiful lady." Kaharap ko na ang mga make up artist they just gwak at me and nod their head.
"What!? Just beautiful? You look like a goddess model baby."
I admit that I look beautiful in this make up and dress,but I'm really nervous right now. Pano kaya ang gagawin ko mamaya sa baba? Hindi ako marunong makipag socialize sa tao, I've been in an isolated room for how many years!
Mom gently held my shoulders,nasa likuran ko na siya at ang ibang make up artist ay mag aayos na ng kanilang mga gamit.
"Are you nervous?"
"Yes mommy, sorry if mamaya hindi ko kayang makihalubilo sa mga bisita, it's just that, it's new to me and i don't know how this world goes"
"Don't worry dear I'm always here for you."
Sabay na kaming bumaba ni mommy para pumunta sa backstage. Hihintayin ko na lang ang host para tawagin ang pangalan ko.
Medyo nagutom ako pero tiniis ko na lang,malapit na man na siguro akong tawagin. And so i waited for five more minutes, nagulat ako nang nasa may gilid ko na ang isang lalaking naka maskara.
"Kuya?"
"Yes princess?"
I grunted with what he said. For goodness sake I'm already 20 years old how come they calle princess in this age?. Sisitahin ko na sana siya sa kanyang tawag saakin nang bumukas ang kurtina,kasabay nito ang pag flash ng mga camera kaliwa't kanan.
Ang kanan kong kamay ay hinarang ko ng bahagya sa aking mata upang hindi masilaw, on the other hand kuya just walk carelessly. Sanay na siguro sa ganitong sistema.
Hinayaan ko siya kung saan niya ako igigiya, mom and dad are waiting in me, they're both smiling,napansin ko pa ang munting luha sa mata ni mommy and dad is just smiling. Hindi ko na maintindihan ang sinasabi ng host
Para na akong masusuka sa sobrang kaba dagdag pa na hindi ako masyadong nakakain nang umaga dahil sa pag susukat, rash lahat ultimo ang event na ito kaya naman ay sobrang minadali at nag kulang sa oras.People are watching us here in the stage, the light that comes in the ceilings are blinding us.
Mom and dad didn't push me to speak in front because i may stutter. My hands are so cold kuya Anthony is right beside me making me feel comfortable a little.
Nang mag simula nang mag serve ng mga pagkain ay nag paalam ako kay kuya na mag ba-banyo lang,sasamahan niya sana ako pero hindi na ako pumayag.
"Kuya just enjoy the night, tsaka naipakilala niya na man na ako sa lahat kahit pano ay nasasanay na ako." I smiled to ensure him that i was really ok. After a second he only nod and go in the other businessman.
Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ko bago ako pumunta ng comfort room, i used the backdoor to go there so that no one knows that I'm leaving the party.
