Chapter 4: Slumber & Welcome Back Party

Melissa's P.O.V

*9pm in the morning*

I just finished taking a bath and then I was about to go to my walking closet to choose a dress so that later it will be easy for me and it will not consume a lot of time. Remember my time is only limit for dressing today. And I should be ready just in time and Felicia said I should wear something elegant. If I don't have something elegant to wear I will just rather wear something beautiful that's suits the event. Aha! I found a perfect dress that suits me perfectly for this event.

"Anak are you here?" Nagulat ako sa tanong ni mommy ko at galing sa labas ang boses nya.

"Yes mom I'm here in my walking closet, choosing something to wear." Ang sagot ko sakanya. And I can feel that my mom is heading here. And she just came.

"Where are you going?" Tanong nya.

"Later in the afternoon I am going with my best friends at the Rooftop Garden building. We're just celebrating my welcome back party together with our slumber party." Ang sagot ko sakanya.

Nagulat si mama sa sinabi ko at agad sya nag tanong kung sino ang mga kaibigan na tinutukoy ko."Kasama mo ang kaibigan mo na si Felicia, Anastasia at si Cynthia?"

"Yes mom, they are my Bestfriends that I am talking about." Ang sagot ko sa kanya.

"Y-you. You remember-" biglang hindi tinuloy ni mommy ang sasabihin nya. Ano ba ang nangyari? What do you mean mom? That I remember what?

"That I remember what??" I am very curious of this. Feeling ko there's something wrong in here.

"Nevermind. Just get ready and later in the afternoon ihahatid kita dun sa party mo." At hinalikan nya ako sa pisngi at tuluyang lumabas. What on earth is happening?! Parang wala akong alam sa mga sinasabi ni mommy. At ginulo ko ang buhok sa ulo ko. Haysss today is about my party and I will not try to think about this again. I am very distracted of this kind of things. So I better focus. Focus Melissa! Focus!

Imelda's P.O.V

I just came out of Melissa's room. And I feel that my heart pumps fast. I could feel the conscience that I haven't felt this way before. What if Melissa will find out everything? What if she will never forgive me? Oh no what I have been done. Will I able to correct my mistakes?Past is past I cannot return the past.

"Sweetheart are you ok?" Tanong ng asawa ko.

"Uh. A-ah yes I'm okay." Ang sagot ko sakanya.

"It's looks like your not. Is there something wrong?" Tanong nya ulit.

"Nothing. There's nothing wrong." Ang sagot ko sakanya.

"Ok I will be at the room just call me if you need something." Hinalikan nya ako sa pisngi at tuluyang umalis paputang kuwarto namin.

At napahinga ako ng malalim. Nothing is wrong happening today. You just do this to save your daughter from harm right? I know she will be upset if she will find out. I know she can't accept things like this complicated for her. And it's gonna be hard for her. Sana magbabayad ang taong yun sa ginawa nyang lahat sa anak ko! At sya ang dahilan kung bakit ganyan ang anak ko.
