I paused to take a look at the large three-story mansion in front of me. One look, and you will know that the owner of this screams wealth and power. Pumasok ako sa loob nito. The big diamond ceiling chandelier greeted me. The luxurious grandstaircase in a red carpet can welcome the guest in a dramatic style. It's beautifuly designed dual staircases can provide the full view of its three stories ceilings. I looked around and noticed that the maids in their uniforms were extremely busy. Nagmadali ako paakyat. I don't want them to see me.
"Concordia." tawag sa'kin ng isang malumanay boses na siyang nagpatigil sa akin sa pag-akyat. I bit my lip at tinignan ang tumawag sa akin sa baba. Her hooded eyes were very intimidating. Her perfect made brows were professionally made na kainggit-inggit kung titignan because of its fleek. Her perfectly angled nose is enough evidence to know that she is truly a mestiza. With her very white complexion, the jewelries she's wearing were evident. Tila ginawa ang mga ginto na may diamante na para sa kanya lamang. The pearl earrings looked really good on her and even the way she flicked her hand radiated elegance and class. Seeing her looking at me like this, my inside's starts to tremble. Nanliliit ako. Tumigil ako sa paghinga.
"M-mama," I stuttered. If there was someone who could bring all shits on me, it would be her! I am like a tamed lion and she's my cage.
"Prepare yourself well later tonight." matipid niyang sinabi. Kahit na pagbigkas niya ng salita ay tila perpekto. You can conclude instantly that she came from a family of gold and riches.
"I-I will, Mama." I answered while nodding a bit. Hindi na siya sumagot bagkus ay tumalikod na lamang siya.
Bumuga ako ng hininga. Akala ko kung ano na. Umiling nalang ako at umakyat sa ikatlong palapag. This mansion is really huge, ilang pasikot-sikot pa bago ko nakita ang aking kwarto. Right! I should isolated myself here instead. I decided to take a bath para maaga akong makapag handa para sa mamaya. Though, bukas pa ang birthday ni papa. Magkakaroon ng intimate dinner with the guests na nauna ng na rito. And I know what Mama meant! Wear the most beautiful you, Traia.
I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I need this. I want myself to feel refreshed and with a clearer head.
I'm on my bathrobe nang maupo ako sa tapat ng tukador. I started to blow-dry my long black hair. It's kind of hard because hanggang baywang na ang haba nito at medyo makapal. Tiningnan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. I'm not really so maputi, tama lang. Like my Mommy. I smiled a little at lumabas ang isang dimple sa aking kaliwang pisngi. Aside from my dimple, gusto ko rin ang aking mahahabang itim na pilik mata na siyang nagbibigay buhay at mas nagdedepina sa kulay ng aking mata.
I decided to wear a simple and yet an elegant black strap dress. It's three inches above my knees, so I think it's fine. When it comes to clothing, I am conservative. Umupo ulit ako sa tukador at tinignan ang sarili. Though I like my face bare, maybe I should put a little make up? Aside from fixing my kilay, I think lip tint and blush on will do.
I'm putting lip tint on my lips nang may narinig akong marami at magugulong katok sa pinto ng aking kwarto. Maya-maya pa ay gumalaw ang door knob nito at bumukas. Of course, kinuha na naman nila ang master key. Bumukas ang pinto, napailing na lang ako at tinignan ang nagsisiksikang mga lalaki na nag-uunahang pumasok sa aking kwarto.
Here comes the trouble, Traiva! Really, they are so loud.
Malalakas na tawanan ang dumagungdong sa aking kwarto at isa-isa ko silang nakita. Ngiting-ngiti akong tinignan ng aking apat na pinsan and of course, kuya Travis!
"Hi, Princess!!! I miss you." lumapit sa akin si Clifford. His hand went to my face and pinched my cheeks really hard.
"It hurts! You twat!" reklamo ko at hinawakan ang braso niya at kinurot.
