Kira's POV
Tinitingnan ko ang imahe sa salamin. In a full lenght mirror, nakita ko ang sarili kong nakasuot ng isang sopistikadang damit. Made by mommy truly just for me. Tunay nga ang galing nito sa pagdidisenyo. Maganda ang damit. Simple yet elegant. Nakita ko na ito kanina and I can say na maganda nga pero ngayong suot ko na ito, lumabas ang tunay nitong ganda. It feels like para sa akin lang talaga ito. Bagay na bagay. Pero.....
Make.up Artist: My gosh!!!! Girl. Napakabagay sa iyo. Its like you are an angel in disguise. But what's with that face. Bagay nga sayo pero in your state now. Hmmmmm. Parang may kulang.
Me: Ano ka ba Dennis. Walang kulang...
Make.up Artist: eh??? Dennish nga with an "h". But anyways, kung wala ka talagang problema girl. Just smile. Not the force one but a genuine smile.
Genuine? Paano? How can I have that smile tonight???

As I walk down the aisle, para akong nasa langit. With a gorgeous man waiting for me. All I eyes on me. All heads are turn to me. All attention is on me. I'm used to be with this attention. Ngunit ngayon bakit gusto ko, ako lang at akin lang. Kahit ngayong gabi lang.
Emcee: And now let us all welcome, the unica ija of Senator Montefalcon, the oh so famous and our one and only "Dainty Princess" Kiesha Raven Montefalcon. A huge round of a plause please...
Palakpakan rito. Palakpakan doon. All I can hear is the chant of their clap.
Tatay: Good to see you ija. Akala ko hindi ka na makakarating. And to remind you, you are almost an hour late.
Me: Tay, alam ko tumingin sa orasan. No need to remind me.
Tatay: hahaha Your always beautiful my princess. Just like your nanay.
Me: Tay, magdadrama na naman kayo.
At marami pang bumati sa akin pero sa estado ko ngayon, hindi ko maiwasang tumingin sa kinaluluguran niya ngayon. Napaka.gwapo niya sa kanyang suit. Lahat ata mapapanganga sa kanya.
And as I reach their table.
Ate: Naku Kiesh. As always late ka na naman. Anong bang seremonyas ang pinaggagawa mo at nahuli ka. You missed half of the party.
Me: Bakit ate? What do I missed ba?
Ate: Hihihi none so far. Pero you miss a whole lot handsome men. Pinakilala ako ni Dad sa kanila.
Ako: Ate, it's not my norm to know them. I don't flirt you know that.
Ate: Hindi kaya.
Sa pagkakataong iyon, I sense a smirk on her face. Parang may pinapahiwatig.
Umiling ako. Maybe I'm just overthinking.
Ako: Hind---
At naputol ang aking pagsasalita ng may inanunsyo ang host that awakens my senses.
Host: Let me present to you, the reason behind this celebration. The engage couple.....
Then that was it. My alarm. Then reality strikes me very hard. Very hard that make me loss my senses.
Hindi. Hindi. Hindi. Hindi ko pa rin tanggap na...
Ang pinakamamahal ko is settling his life with my innocent sister.
I can't stand this...
Kailangan ko ng umalis. Kailangan ko before my tears streams down my face...
Nagmamadali ako. Not knowing the people na nababangga ko. I don't care. I really don't.
Then someone grab my hand.
It was HIM..
Bakit????
Bakit pa siya nandito??
And I'm lost for words...
