Case 5: The Unexplained
Deaths (The Debut of Rosalinda
Chapter, Part One)
ROSALINDA
AUGUST 3RD. Today is my debut, this is the perfect day to show everyone about it. You may ask what? You will know later. I was sitting on the wooden chair as I was staring myself at the mirror. I'm wearing a hot pink quinceanera dress, adorned with beads and featuring an off-shoulder design. It resembles a ball gown.
Due to my makeup, my eyebrows have turned a light brown shade, although I'm unsure of the specific product that she used. I am not interested in learning about it. To be honest, I wanted to remove it as I feel it doesn't match my blonde hair, na pinakulayan ko lang kanina. But, I will not make my hair color remain like this, ibabalik ko rin sa natural na kulay, which is a black hair. However, they suggested that it does suit me, but I have my doubts. My make-up artist applied pink eyeshadow mixed with soft brown and a hint of glitter. It actually complements my fair skin and black almond-shaped eyes, she have also added a soft brown blush and pink lipstick to enhance my pouty lips.
I'm wearing silver, glittering jewelry, even though I don't want to. This includes heart-shaped earrings and a slightly thick necklace with a flower-like design. Why do I look like a barbie, in my own interpretation? I hate it.
"You have very extreme charisma and beautiful ma'am! Bagay na bagay kang maging-model," pabulong sabi ng make-up artist ko, and she compliments my face's appearance. "You have a round-shape face and thin and defined nose, but it really looks so good on you. It's very suit you well! Naiinggit ako." Nakanguso niyang sabi, as she was doing my hair. I just told her to make my long hair curly, I'm not in a mood to do it by myself. Maganda at maayos naman ang pagkakagawa.
Nakikinig lamang ako sa mga puri niya ay pilit na nilalabas sa kabilang tenga ang lahat ng mga sinasabi ni mama. Nasa mansion ako ni papa ngayon, dito mangyayari ang debut ko. Hanggang ngayon ay pinipilit parin ako ni mama na tawagan si Raleigh para papuntahin rito. Why do she like him so much, even though she doesn't know him?
"Baby, sige na, tawagan mo na si Raleigh. If you worry that he doesn't have any suit to wear, then anything will be fine as long as he dresses formally!" Pagpupumilit ni mama, habang nakangiting natingin ang make-up artist ko sa kaniya. "I really want to meet him! Saka kulang din tayo, seventeen boys lang ang magsasayaw sa'yo, dali na make him the last man who dances with you!"
"No."
Sumimangot ang aking ina dahil sa sinagot ko. "Baby naman, sige na. Gustong-gusto ko talaga siyang makilala, isama mo rin ang mga magulanh niya, hm?" Nakangiti niyang sabi ngunit malamyang tinititigan ko lamang ito, hindi nagsasalita.
Sa totoo lang ayaw ko talagang mag-celebrate ng debut, it's not my thing, I am not even excited for today. What I am excited about, of them finding out what my mother did all of the time as my father is in coma, is also her reaction to it.
I'm sorry, mom. It seems you don't have a good daughter, and I will never be, knowing what you did.
"Sige na anak, for mommy, okay? Papuntahin mo na rito si Raleigh. Ngayon na, I want to have a conversation with him." Walang tigil niya sa pagpipilit sa'kin, ngunit hindi ko parin ito pinakinggan.
"Mrs. Almazan!" Tarantang tawag ng isang lalaki na nagmumula sa labas ng kwarto. Wala rin itong tigil sa pagkakakatok, huminto lang ang ingay nang pinagbuksan na ito ng aking ina.
"Oh, bakit? Anong nangyari Jun?" Nang dahil sa ekspresyon ng lalaki sa mukha niya ay nagaalala na ito.
"'Yung cake! 'Yung pusa!" Taranta niyang sabi at kitang-kita sa mga mata niya na kinakabahan na ito kung baka tatalakan siya ng aking ina.
