When I went home talagang na deliver na 'yung suit na susuotin ko sa banquet. So I immediately organized all the things I'll be needing tomorrow, of course with the help of my maids and Steffa, para hindi hassle bukas.
Mabuti nalang at nakauwi ako agad. And hinatid rin ako nina Walter pauwi, which really made my heart flutters. God.
"Steffa. I have a question." I suddenly said habang kaharap ko si Steffa. I am currently on a couch, while the maids are in the middle of my room preparing my suit in a stand.
"Is your uncle's shop still in the Central City's alley?" tanong ko naman agad.
"Oo, bakit mo natanong?" she asked as well.
Umiling naman ako, "I just remembered, I still have something na kailangan kong kunin sa kaniya." sambit ko as I picked up the teacup.
"Pero wala ka pang 20." sabi bigla ni Steffa which made me look at her.
"Yeah, I know. But I'm turning 20 in 5 months." sabi ko naman.
I want to know kung anong iniwan ni mom sa'kin. And I think I'm ready. I also have tons of questions I want to ask, baka may alam siya tungkol sa background ng family ni mom.

"Daniel, Good morning!" I suddenly heard mother Isabella's voice kaya napatingin ako sa may pintuan ng kwarto ko. Steffa, on the other hand, greeted her in a bow.
"Good morning." nakangiti ko namang bati sa kaniya, I wonder why she's here.
"Are you ready for later's banquet?" tanong niya naman agad, "I came to check on you. Do you still need something for your preparation?" tanong niya ulit.
"I'm all good. Thank you for asking." nakangiti ko naman.
"Oh, you're going out?" tanong niya naman bigla while looking into my clothes.
Napatingin naman ako sa suot ko. I am just wearing a plain shirt and a cloak. And yes, I am going somewhere.
"Yup, there's something I need to buy outside. I'll be going with Steffa." sagot ko naman sa kaniya.
"Really? You should have told me yesterday, para naipabili ko nalang 'yung kailangan mo so you could chill and instead rest until the banquet." she worriedly mumbled.
I just smiled at her, "No worries, mother. I'm all prepared. I promise hindi naman kami magtatagal sa labas."
"Okay. Then I'll take my leave. You should go back agad dahil may banquet tayong dapat puntahan later. Okay!?"
"Yes, mother." nakangiti kong sabi at mahinang tumango.
