I MET THE MAN WHO BROKE THE HEART BREAKER'S HEART

Heartbreak 21 : Preparations

Writing after five months and it made me feel like a beginner. I was confused where to start but I came up with this update. Kinda short but I'll make up to you after I sleep. So here it is.

The time fled fast. Nawala sa isip ko na December na and a week from now will be my 18th birthday. I wouldn't realize it if wasn't because of Wayne dragging me at the tailoring shop to see my dress. I'm not really excited about it. I always celebrate my birthday ever since I came at the Dizon family and having it for the 18th time makes me sick with it.

We arrived at building across the streets of Rajah Soliman and entered the Center Mall. I'm not new to the place and not too familiar either. I've known it for a while. Lose a gadget and you'll find it at center mall, displayed at one of the shops. That's how it is.

But this building is known too for many products such as the tailoring shop my family friend owns.

"Ayu! It has been a long time!" I beamed a smile at Tita Cassandra when I caught a glance of her. As usual, she has her measuring tape and glasses with her. Wearing that apron and her hair tied into a bun, it doesn't make her look less beautiful. She's gorgeous as always that's why people don't suspect her as someone not biologically related to Wayne. Tita Cassandra Alonzo adopted Wayne.

"Indeed Tita Cass. So what's kind of dress did you made for me this time?" She proudly smiled at me as we entered the shop.

"You won't regret wearing this dress Ayu. It suited your shape."

"Of course Mom. Kung gumawa ka ng damit na hindi bagay sa kanya, patay ka kay Tita Lifa." Wayne joked and Tita Cass laughed at it. Only her gets the jokes of Wayne.

"Anyway, get the dress Clouie and Ayu, please follow her." I followed a petite girl whose name was stated by Tita Cass. Clouie has been with her since the shop was founded. We went for the fitting room as Clouie holds a white and golden box.

"Miss Dizon, ito na po yung damit niyo. Tawagin niyo lang po ako kung may kailangan kayo." I nod at her and closed the door of the room. I opened the box and a gold gown appeared before me.

I wore the gown and called Clouie to help me tie the knots at my back since I cannot reach it. My dress is a gold gown which emphasized my curves. From my thighs to the ground is a nude cloth which was tailored like a mermaid tail and from my chest area is a wide space which highlighted my bosom. However, skin tone cloth was used up to my neck. The gown is very simple however elegant, it was designed with gold studs all over.

"I guess you made a lot of effort here Tita Cass. By looking at it, it looks like you allotted a lot of time in it." Pinagsalikop lang niya ang mga kamay niya at inilapit ito sa pisngi niya.

"Siyempre naman Ayu. I wouldn't give you an ordinary dress for you debut."

Wayne and I left after Clouie finished the wrapping of the dress. They day passed by finishing everything for the debut. Viewing the venue for the debut, checking the food and invitation and picking other stuffs for my look. Sinabi ko nang any debut will be fine for me but they insisted that I should check everything.

Ni hindi ko nga tinignan ang 18 roses ko because I don't care anyway. I just want to get over with this. Wayne ordered some of his men to distribute the invitation at school. I went home right away and locked myself at my room. I still have my papers to pass before I completely enjoy my Christmas break.

I closed the lid of my laptop after several hours. Natapos ko na rin yung paper ko and passed it to my professor. Nakaramdaman na ako nang gutom kung kaya naman pumunta ako sa kusina at kumuha ng tinapay at juice.

Nakasanayan ko nang tumingin sa kawalan everytime I find the time for it. Everytime I do that, people mistook me as thinking of something deep but that's not the truth. Minsan, masarap sa pakiramdam yung nakatulala ka lang at walang iniisip na kahit ano.

I find it relaxing.

I was at trance when I heard a knock on our door. I stood up and opened the door, only to see one of our men holding a bouquet of blue roses.

"Ms. MUD, nakita po naming ito sa gate kanina." Sabi nito at ibinigay sa akin ang bulaklak. I saw a note on the side of the bouquet and kahit hindi ko buksan, alam ko na kung kanino ito galing.

I sat on the couch and opened the note. As I expected, it came from that man again.

Are you ready for you debut Mud? I received the invitation and I'd be delighted if you'll let me dance with you. Whatever kind of dress you'll wear, I know that it'll suit you. Anything will make you more beautiful even when they choose a rag for your gown. That's how gorgeous you are Mud. I'm excited for your party. See you soon.

I went for the vase and arranged the flowers and put it in the table. As much as I don't want to care, Mom loves the flowers. I picked my phone from the center table and called a number.

"Junlee, can you do me a thing?" I looked at the flowers and decided to make a move.

"What is it this time Madeline?" I smirked at his answer. Junlee is Wayne's bestfriend, slash the hacker type.

"I want to know all the transactions of blue roses that was delivered and bought in our place and near areas this December. All transactions, got me?" I heard him sigh at the other line for a moment. With that, I knew his answer.

"It will be a long list Madeline. But okay." I smiled triumphantly and was about to end the call when I remembered something.

"And Junlee, include the name of buyers."
