irene woke up hugging a pillow, she scratched her eyes and blink for few times before analyzing the place then she remembered she did sleep beside akisha last night but wait, where is akisha? she looked at her wrist watch
"oh bloody hell it's 8am in the morning!!! fuck fuck fuck" she cursed before running on bathroom and clean up herself, after she done her morning freshen routine she made her way downstairs there she saw the, designer, caterers, organizer crying. she rushed to them and asked them what happened.
"what on earth your crying people" she asked still not processing what's happening, she can't find akisha but she does found this people crying like an idiot
"your daughter ruins my design"
"she even slapped me"
"that kid is a worst!!"
irene can't believed what's happening, she knew akisha wouldn't do this. she will never believe to those dumbass people accusing akisha.
akisha might be mad at me but she can't do this
"language people!" just because irene calling akisha like that doesn't mean they have right, irene is the only one who has right to do that.
"she slapped me"
"i don't fucking care!! i need to talk to her, where is she" she looked at akisha nanny.
"Ma'am wag po, hayaan niyo muna siy---" irene rolled her eyes and hissed.
she made her way to the pool where everything is settled but before her eyes laid on akisha, she already saw how the place get messed. balloon that scattered around, chairs in the pool, broken tables and the white curtain that no longer look like white because of the ketchup and mustard everywhere. the cake that she bought are already in the ground. everything is ruin and messy but the only thing her eyes caught is the kid standing at the center holding a book. Irene sighed, she will lie if she said she wasn't disappointed to what she saw, she put everything into this.
she made an effort and put sacrifices on every details the party have, not to mention how much money she spend for this, but she doesn't care about the money she cared about akisha it's her birthday and by now everything was ruin. she supposed to surprise akisha when the daylight touch the moon but what happened right now is the opposite to what she planned and the freak that she was more surprised.
but she understand why akisha acting this way, foremost her mother wasn't here nor her father. second irene hurt her feelings making her to think that there's no reason for her to celebrate her birthday. but nah, irene was there ready to lower her guards for akisha.
Irene grabbed a cupcake and get some candle, she light it up. it's look like a mini cake for akisha. irene smiled that even though akisha are not facing her side, irene hoping when she saw the cupcakes she will smile.
"happy birthday to youu, happy birthday to youu---"
"shut up" irene stop singing when the kid finally uttered a word, she met the gazes of irene.
irene never felt so nervous before, marcos doesn't have fear but right now and right there she feels like her foot digging her own grave underneath from where she was standing, irene swallowed really hard.
"i'm sorry" after a minute of staring irene uttered a word and broke the tension building between them.
irene waiting akisha to respond but the only thing akisha did is smile.....oh fuck she smile!!!
"why are you smiling" she managed to asked akisha, but then the kid giggles making the situation weird and clueless for irene.
what the heck is happening
