With My Wind (Invince Series #1)

Chapter 9 - Eva Cree

"Woah... That's your fit?" Mom asked, peeking at my room while I look at myself in the mirror.

I smiled at her through the mirror and turned around. "Yes, how is it?" I asked. Humarap ako sa kaniya at binigyan siya ng matamis na ngiti.

Natawa siya ng bahagya at tuluyang pumasok sa kwarto ko. I was just wearing a simple floral dress with a cardigan and matched it with a white heel and black shoulder bag.

Hinawakan ako ni Mom sa parehong balikat. "You look so great, Veeva. You've grown up so well," she said and hugged me. I laughed at that. "Now, you go. You should be early para maabutan ang sound check! I-hi mo na lang ako sa Invince, okay?" She smiled, tumango na lang ako.

Inihatid niya ako sa kotse ko at hyper pang nagb-bye. Nakangiting napailing na lang ako.

When I got into the concert venue, I was stunned. There were so many different people. I just smiled. They grown up so well as well.

Pumila ako hanggang sa nakapasok na ako at makaupo na sa seat ko. I was so near the stage that Adamian saw me immediately when they get up to for sound check. We just waved at each other while he gave me that child-like smile again. The others waved at me, too.

I watched them until they needed to go backstage and prepared for the concert.

"Hello!" I looked up at the staff who approached me.

She looked like she was in her late twenties and early thirties.

"Hi," I smiled at her as she sat beside me. And my eyes blink a few times when she handed me a zip-up jacket.

"Can you understand Tagalog?" She asked me.

I smiled and nodded. "Filipina po ang Mom ko."

She nodded. "Ako si Ate Rue, hair stylist ako nila at pinapabigay 'yan ni Adam sa 'yo. Itakip mo raw sa lap mo. Mukha siyang galit pero parang hindi naman," then she giggled and stood up. "Mauna na ako, hija. Kailangan na nilang ayusan," then she waved at me with a big smile on her face before going to backstage.

Naiwan akong nagtatakang tinitigan ang jacket. Itakip ko sa lap ko? Why?

Napatingin ako sa dress ko na hindi aabot sa tuhod ko ang haba. Is this really too short?

And then the concert came and the venue was really full. They were so many fans enjoying this moment of their life.

Invince performed some of their songs and had fun on stage. It was such a beautiful scenery to watched them laughed together. Oftentimes, para lang silang naglalaro habang kumakanta.

It was really touching that they were good friends since they were a kid and still strong as they are a grown up man now.

After the concert, I had to go home as I received an email from the Secret Service. I didn't get the chance to wave Invince good bye nor the chance to give his jacket back. I have to tell this to Dad.

Tulala akong naglakad palapit sa bahay. I got accepted... How? Through illegal influence of Dad?

Napangiwi ako. But of course... Why not? He's the founder of Saver. Tsk.

I got accepted but I still need to complete the required training.

Napailing ako at napahawak sa leeg ko habang naglalakad. Inaantok na ako.

Natigilan ako nang marinig na nagsisigawan sila Mom and Dad. Rinig na rinig ko ang boses ni Mom kahit nakasara pa ang pintuan.

I just sighed again before opening the door.
