The Puerile Queen

Chapter 12: Magical

"Why didn't you tell me that you're his mom?" I asked, frowning at Celine nang pumasok siya sa kwarto ko to fix my make up para sa elimination night ngayon, two ladies will be eliminated, and still I'm hoping to be one of them. I don't want this tiny sprout to grow deeper.

"Sorry, sweetie." She apologized.

"You're a Filipino po?" Tanong ko agad. Ngumiti naman siya at tumango, "Oo."

"Grabe naman po, tita. Pinapahirapan mo pa kong mag-english eh kaya mo naman po palang magtagalog." I whined. Tumawa lang ito saka itinanong sa akin kung ayos na ba ako.

"Maayos naman na po, thanks to your son." Nakangiti kong sagot. Naalala ko tuloy kung paano niya ako alagaan kagabi, he treated me like I'm the most sensitive vase ever. Ni hindi ako pinagagalaw sa kama. I find that side of him very very very cute. Hihi

"Mabuti naman, alalang alala talaga ako sa iyo. Nag-panic nga ako noong makita kitang walang malay sa sahig, I'm aftaid that you'll not wake up but I'm much afraid sa reaksyon ng anak ko kung pag nalaman niya. That's why I didn't call him right away, pinasabi ko nalang kay Jack." Tita Celine explained giggling.

Tumango na lamang ako and told her what dress I am going to wear, "Not that, Breanna. Kailangan medyo bongga ngayon. Tonight you'll meet his father."

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya, "Pupunta ang dad niya sa show?!"

Tita Celine smiled, "No, dear. Not at the show."

Kumunot ang noo ko, "Eh kung hindi po sa show, saan po namin siya makikil--"

"He wants to meet you in person and he told me to invite you for dinner after tonight's elimination." She explained.

Nagtaka naman ako bigla, "Bakit po ako lang?"

"Because my son is interested to you. You see, may konting iringin between them because his father is the one who pushed Ryker to showbiz." Paliwanag ni Tita Celine, "Ryker started being aloof from his father since that. At naisip namin na baka ikaw ang daan para magkaayos silang mag-ama."

"But I don't want to meddle with Ryker's personal life." I said pouting. Baka magalit pa yun sa akin pag nangialam ako.

"You'll just help us out, okay?" She pleaded, "Hindi alam ni Ryker na kasama ang dad niya sa dinner mamaya, ang alam niya lang ay tayong tatlo."

Tumango na lamang ako. Gosh, they're putting me in a big big trouble. But if this will make him feel better at kahit papaano'y mabawasan ang nagpapastress sa kanya, sisikapin kong tumulong.

"Thank you." Tita Celine mouthed.

I stayed in silent as she picked my dress. She looked at me with sparkly eyes, "This! This is so perfect for you."

Pinasukat niya sa akin ang simpleng ocean blue tube, knee-high dress at isang pair ng white 5 inches heels. Mygods, papatayin ata ako ni Tita sa sobrang taas ng heels eh!

"Come on, come on, wear it na so that maayos na natin ang feslak mo." She sounded gay yet cute. Haha

-

"Ayan, you look perf na." Tita Celine said after putting my lipstick on, "I'll see you later, dear."

After a few minutes ay pinatawag na kaming mga contestant, we lined up alphabetically and waited for them to shoot the show.

Maya-maya lang ay dumating na si Ryker, agad na tumili ang ilan nang makitang kasama nito si Anaconda. Nagtama ang mata namin ni Ryker, he winked at me as I raised an eyebrow at umiwas na ng tingin.

After kissing two girls good bye, which is unfortunately still not me, the host announced about the next activity we'll do, a talent show.

Besides singing, may isa pa akong talent at yun ay ang magpasaya ng tao, diba? But I'll choose singing kasi baka pag napatawa ako, hindi sila matawa. Nakakahiya kaya yun!
