Chapter 4

"Dang. This place looks good," puri ni Kuya Aslen sa restaurant na nasa harap namin.

We're having an intimate dinner with the Sy's because of Tita June's birthday. This was what the message of Zeli all about earlier. It's just our family and theirs because Tita June does not want any big parties this time dahil tinatamad daw siyang makipag-socialize.

"Ate, baka lamigin ka mamaya dahil sa suot mo," binalingan ko ng tingin si Tonton na ngayon ay nakangiwing nakitingin sa hubad kong likod.

I'm wearing an A line satin backless mid long corset dress sleeveless.

"I'll be fine, Ton. Thanks," sabi ko sa kanya at inakbayan siya kahit mas matangkad siya sa akin.

"Let's head inside. Nasa loob na sila Tita June mo," mom said and walked inside.

We were greeted by the staff and lead us to the room where were having dinner with Tita.

"Oh! You're here!" masayang bati ni Tita June sa amin at sinalubong kami ng beso at yakap.

"Good evening, everyone!" bati ni Papa sa lahat.

All of the Sy children stood up and greet us. I even locked eyes with Zeli and he's looking great. I hope he won't noticed that I'm actually checking him out.

He's wearing a black buttoned shirt, black trouser, and penny loafers. He also has a small diamond on his left ear. He has a piercing?

"Oh, so sexy, my darling!" nawala ang atensyon ko kay Zeli na ngayon kausap si Mama dahil sa aliw na sabi sa akin ni Tita after bumeso. Pinaikot niya pa ako para matignang maigi kaya natawa na lang ako sa kanya.

"Yep, and very pretty!" sulpot ni Ate Ali at bumeso sa akin.

"Oh, no! I mean look at you, Ate and Tita! Both are gorgeous!" sabi ko sa kanila ngunit isang tao ang nakaagaw ng atensyon ko.

"Oh, my God! Baby Zane!" malakas kong tili ng makita ang baby brother nila.

Lumapit ako sa baby high chair na kung nasaan naka-upo ngayon si Zane na inosenteng nakatingin sa amin.

I squished his soft and chubby cheeks which made him smile.

"Mas namiss niya pa si Zane kaysa satin," rinig kong reklamo ni Ate Ali kaya natatawa akong bumaling sa kanya.

I also greeted Tito Liu, Kuya Zian, and Lia.

We are now facing the food and hindi talaga matigil sina Mama at Tita sa kwentuhan.

"So, how's school, Asti?" tanong sa akin ni Ate Ali.

"Good, Ate! And so far I got a friend na," masayang sabi ko kay Ate.

"And she said she's behaving well din," taas noo akong ngumiti dahil sa sinabi ni Papa.

Tumikhim naman ang nasa harap ko na tila ay hindi sang-ayon, isama mo pa ang mga kapatid ko na hindi maipinta ang mukha kaya tinignan ko sila nang masama.

I am really behaving well! Let's not talk about sleeping in the campus wherever I want.

"That's good, hija! At least you've already adjusted."

Nginitian ako ni Tito Liu.

"I'm enjoying my studies, Tito, kaya I adapt very well," ani ko.

The night was great! We had fun like there's no tomorrow. Even with this simple occasion, it really brings out of us all.

Lumabas muna ako para magpahangin. I also took my phone as I planned on taking pics outside.

It's breezy. The surrounding is so pretty. I can see the city from here! We're actually at a high area right now, that's why.
