Tita Dianne dropped me off at my house. I bid her good bye as she thank me for coming with tonight. It was nothing at all, as long as next time, she will come to me anytime she meed a plus one. Natawa naman roon si Tita Dianne bago tuluyan nang umalis.
I went inside the house, it was middle of the night. I was surprised pagkat pinagbuksan pa ako ng pinto ni Della. Sakto raw itong nagising at nauhaw, tapos dumating na ako.
Tumuloy ako sa itaas and swift my move towards Lia's room to check on her. And when I saw her sleeping peacefully, I went to my room already para mag palit. I'm too tired to take a half bath this late night. Babawi na lang ako sa pag ligo bukas.
I woke up very late the next morning Alas dyes na nga actually. Naligo na ako agad agad at nag bihis, I found out Lia already went to school without waking me up. Della intentionally did not wake me up since sabi niya ay mahimbing raw ang tulog ko at mukhang pagod galing sa event kagabi. True, thank goodness hindi nga talaga niya ginising.
I did a late breakfast bago ako tumuloy sa office. Hinatid ako ng driver kong naghintay pala na magising ako. And when I went inside the building, nakasalubong ko sa elevator si Rishia.
"Have you seen your interview at the KTB Magazine? the video. Hindi pa kasi na published and sa magazine." Salita niya at umiling lang ako.
I feel like I got a hungover though nag wine lang naman kami tatlo ni Syl at Jane kagabi while talking about stuffs I so tired this morning, pero nang maalala kong I have another party to attend later at night, I might as well take a rest for the whole day. Sa office na lang ako.
"It went viral, Van. From people bashing you for being a Mother at a young age, they are praising you for being a good sister. What a nice bunch of switch gossipers." Iling iling na ikinatawa ko saglit
"I hope they'll now know that the rumors are not true. Geez. I did my best by clearing my name." I answered
Nag paalam na siya saakin, habang ako ay tumuloy na sa office ko. When I went inside, nagulat pa ako dahil naroon si Cici, at si Shan.
Nang makita nila ako ay tumayo si Cici sabay lapit saakin at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. Nakita ko namang ngumiwi si Shan sabay iling iling.
"I saw your interview! Oh I love you so much, Vanya!" Mangiyak ngiyak niyang sabi
"You don't have class, Shan?" Instead on answering Cici, I turned my attention to Shan who was casually sitting on my sofa. Sipping his coffee.
"Wiz. Though may klase ang ibang departments, wala ang saamin. And hah! ayokong pumasok. May makikita akong diablo roon." Irap niya na ikinataas ko ng kilay
Binalingan ko si Cici na ngumunguso saakin. Sabay kaming lumapit kay Shan, she sat on the other side of the sofa while I went to the coffee maker and started making coffee.
"You two went here just because of the released interview?" I asks, as if that was the most lame reason to visit me.
"Nagkataon lang talaga na kami ni Shan ang naiwan sa bahay. It's my day off you see. I decided to take a day off kasi sobrang dami na ang mga event ang naganap and such. Then I saw your interview and aww, nag pahatid ako kay Shan dito just to give you a warm hug." Celena smiled that made me laugh
"That was not a big deal. I just cleared out the rumors, Celena." I said
"Nah, I love how you treat us as your family. And you look gorgeous on that interview by the way! I saw some comments saying that you are pretty." Kilig niyang sabi
