Favoritism

Chapter Five

Imee's Pov:

After I woke up, I rushed into the shower and I didn't even eat breakfast.

*I just went to Irene's house*

"Irene, where is Celestia?" I said, nagulat naman sya why did I go there so early in the morning.

"Ang aga mo naman ata, Manang. But she's in her room, I think still asleep." Irene said, "Bakit mo pala sya hinahanap, Manang?"

"Hidni mo ba napansin kagabi na umulan ng sobrang lakas??" Imee said, Irene was in shock dahil hindi na nya naramdaman.

"Hindi ko na napansin, Manang. Maaga kasi kami natulog kagabi eh" Irene said.

Tumaas na si Imee

"Loveey, gising kana. Tita Mommy is here na." I said, "Tita Mommy, good morning po!" Celestiaa happily said.

"Are you okay, nakatulog kaba ng maayos kagabi? I was really worried, hindi ako makatulog sa pag-aalala sayo."

"I'm ok na po now, naka-ilang puffs din po ako kagabi but i'm okay now." Celestia said, "Pero yung mata mo hindi, halatang maga oh"

"Di na po yan halata if I wear my glasses na." Celestia said, "Aalis ba kayo today? Gusto mo sumama sakin sa Senate?" I said

"Wala naman po, miss ko narin po silaa Tita!" Celestia said

"Just take a shower antayin nalang kita dito" I said

*Celestia was ready*

"You look stunning, Darling! Magugustuhan ni Risa yang outfit mo especially Loren and Pia." I said, "They really fight for local products dapag po talaga ipagpatuloy yan."

*Bumaba na sila*

"Mommy, can I go with Tita Mommy sa Senate po?" I said, "Sure, Darling. Btw, Manang Imee. This is Lana, this is you're Tita Imee " Ading said.

"Hello po, Tita!" Lana said with like a forced voice, "Hello din, Lana!" I said her first impressions with me, I certainly don't like her.

"Mommy, uuna na po kamiii." Celestia said, "Bye Ading and Lana!" I said

*Sumakay na sila sa car and drove to the senate*

"Darling, I certainly don't like her. Her attitude is not like a Araneta, i mean she's not but she's a part of your family dapat lumugar sya at makitungo kung paano kayo makutungo sa iba."

"Diba, Tita? Like ang attitude nya, akala mo kung sino."

"Sino ba namang, hindi maiinis sakanya eh parang nakikipag usap lang sya sa tropa nya."

"Akala ko pa naman, mabait sya mas mabait pa pala ako sakanya."

"Mabait ka naman talaga, Darling. It's just my side ka lang talaga na medyo masungit or serious mode like me and your mom."

"Manang-mana po talaga ako sainyo, but I still hope wag baguhin ni Mama pakikitungo nya sakin just because of Lana."

"Hindi yan, Darling."

*They arrived in the Senate*

Celestia's POV:

"Welcome back, Celestiaa Darling!" Risa greeted so as Loren and Pia

"So glad to be back po to see you guys, beautiful senators!" Celestia said

"Kamusta ka naman, Dear?" Tanong ni Loren

"Eto po pinipilit maging masaya!" I said

Maybe kayla Tita ko lang siguro nasasabi yung totoong nararamdaman ko kase they're also daughters and mothers, I know they can understand my situation.

"Bakit naman, Darling?" Saad ni Risa

"So it all started po yesterday, since dumating yung adopted daughter ni Mommy which is Lana. I didn't care abt much of yung mistreatment sakin ni Lana pero nag-bago din po pakikitungo ni Mommy saakin, like yung callsign's nya sakin nag-stop kahapon then the most masakit na part po for me is when she didn't visit me last night when the rain was so bad. I have trauma's from thunderstorms and lightnings because I saw somebody dying being struck by lightning." I said, I can't believe that I told that to them and only my family knows about it. Maybe because I feel safe when i'm with them and I know that they would understand my situation.

"Darling, we're really sorry about that. For me, I think you should talk to your mom or if you don't have the courage to do that it takes time to heal from it pero kapag alam mo ng sobra na yung mom mo is that's the sign to talk to her pero the best decision talaga is to talk to your mom." Risa said

"Thank you po sa advice ninyooo, I think i'll stick to keeping it po muna." I said, I just don't want to talk to Mom, about these kinds of issues cause I don't want her to gain more problems..

"Tapos na po ba session nyo?" I said, "Yes, Darling. Why?"

"I want to treat you guys out for lunch, I just want to really time with the peoplee I love and feel safe with." I said, but it's really true. I'm so different when i'm talking to them because they really understand me and would be honest about the things I talk about.

"Sure, Darling. But kasama ko si Sinta, is it ok?" Risa said, "Sure po, Tita. It's fineee, i'd love to spend time with her." I said

"Tara na po, kalong uli sa kotse ni Tita Mommy HAHAHAHA." saad ko

*They arrived to the restaurant*

"Tita's, order po all you want don't worry Tita Mommy is going to pay." I said happily

"Di ako na-inform na ako pala magbabayad, but I guess it's fine." Imee said

"Joke lang, Tita Mommy. I brought my card naman with me." I said

"Sinta, this is Celestia anak. She's the daughter of Irene, Niece naman ni Tita Imee mo." Saad ni Risa

"Hello po, Ate Sinta!" I said

"Hello Celestia, na-kwento ni Mama mag med ka daw?" Sinta said

"Opo, I just graduated from senior high." I said, like super ganda ni Ate Sinta she's the carbon copy of Tita Risa

"Nice, hope you'd enjoy your pre-med journey!" Saad ni Sinta

Hopeee you guys, enjoyed! Bukas na siguro yung next part or sa sunday na.
