Zach's POV
I drew a very deep breath ng pumarada ang kotse ko sa harap ng malaking pintuan ng mansion. I looked at my watch. It's nearly 8 pm. If only I could run away from this dinner, I would.
Bumaba na ako at nagtuloy sa mansion. Nasa salas pa lamang ako I could hear laughters coming from the dining room. At naririnig ko na ang boses ni Zari na parang batang kinikilig. I smirked. She is still a baby. Hindi ko alam bakit gusto siya ng Mama ko. Perhaps dahil nag iisa lamang ako. She longed to have a daughter.
Naabutan ko na nagtatawanan si Mama at si Zari. Sila lamang ang naroon sa maluwang na dining room ng mansion. Natigil ang tawanan nila ng makita ako.
"Oh! At long last iho, nakadating ka din," may halong sarkasmo ang nakangiting pagkakasabi ng kanyang Mama. I tried not to rolled my eyes upward. Kahit isang elegante at sopistikadang half- Chinese ang kanyang Mama, she is quite soft at heart. But she is also vicious since she became my father's pillar of strength during the time he had cancer.
I kissed her on the cheek. "Good evening Ma," I said politely and I looked at Zari who is smiling widely at me. I sighed and went to her side and kissed her.
"I am sorry if I kept you both waiting."
"Oh no Zach it's okay! We had a good time, di ba Auntie?" her chinese eyes grew large in excitement.
My mother nodded. I just raised my eyebrow and try to look so polite. What else can I do with this dinner? Eh di makipag ngitian, sa kanila. It will be another boring dinner that I have to endure.
"Napansin ko nga pala iho, bakit hindi man lamang kayo lumalabas ni Zari? I guess it's high time that you have to take her somewhere else?"
