Today is the big day for the four of us. Hindi lang kasi basta graduation ito for us, it's also the start of our responsibility in our families' businesses.

Kasalukuyang narito kami ni V sa unit ko. Tumawag lang kami ng make-up artists and nagpahome service. 2:00pm ang start ng graduation namin. Kasabay ng pagme-make up namin ang manicure. Nandito rin ang dalawang minions ko, so sabay-sabay na kaming pupunta sa Ash Lane.

Bigla ko naman naalala ang mga nangyari kahapon, yesterday was a very fun and productive day for us. Pagkatapos kasi namin kunin ang toga namin sa Ash Lane, dumiretso kami sa bar nila Ken. We were brainstorming on what unique events he should do in his bar. We really had fun kahit nandun lang kami sa VIP lounge niya.

Kendrick is also getting sweeter by the minute, hindi ko na maikakaila yun. He's changed, sa totoo lang. I never thought that he is such a patient man, ibang iba sa pagkakakilala ko sa kanya. Anyway, we only have 30 minutes left before we leave. Tapos na ang make up namin so nagbihis na kami.

We were told to just wear something shorter than our toga, so I decided to wear a red corset dress paired with a strappy black heel. Since we will be wearing a toga cap, I let my hair down and just did some loose curls. Si V naman nakasuot ng black na fitted mesh dress.

Isang limousine ang maghahatid sa'min sa Ash Lane courtesy of Kendrick. He texted me na nasa baba na sila kaya bumaba na rin kami ng girls.

"Stunning." Ken praised as he kissed me on my cheek.

The graduation ceremony has started. Dito ginanap sa auditorium ng Ash Lane ang graduation namin. Everything is so elegant, from what I observed. Everything has a touch of blue and white. Yun kasi ang color scheme ng ALU. This is just my second time here in ALU's auditorium. Yung first time kasi is yung orientation namin nung freshmen kami. Tapos yung ibang events madalas sa gymnasium na. I love the setup here kasi para lang siyang broadway theatre.

Magkakatabi naman kaming magkakaibigan. We already got our diplomas and conferred our degree. Ngayon naman, Oliver's dad is giving the closing remarkst the moment since he is ALU's president.

"I heard there's a celebratory dinner after this. Are you going?" V whispered. Umiling naman ako.

"Nope. Nag-set sila Papa ng dinner for the family and as well as some of the R&R board members. Teka V, di ba kayo sasama?" nilingon ko siya.

"Oh right, kasi nga ipapakilala pala. Nabanggit nga pala ni Daddy yun. So, we'll just go together?" tanong niya naman. Tumango ako.

Si Ken naman hinawakan ang kamay ko. I looked at him, and his face is serious. Like, dead serious.

"Anything wrong?" pabulong na tanong ko.

"Wala. Why'd you ask?" he replied casually. Saglit akong natahimik. Bakit ko nga rin ba tinanong?

"Oh, why are you frowning? I think the question is for yourself." Iniharap niya ang mukha ko sa kanya. Matipid akong ngumiti.

"Medyo kinakabahan kasi ako para mamaya. I'll be meeting half of the board members." Mahinang sagot ko. He sighed and then held my hand.

"What is there to be worried about? Skye, you're a powerful woman. If they doubt you, then something must be wrong with them." He assured me. Napangiti na lang ako.

"Congratulations, Batch 2015!"

Naghiyawan ang lahat, at nagpalakpakan. V and I hugged, as well as my minions.
