MIRA POV.
"Good evening son! I'm happy to see you!"
"I'm happy to see you too, Dad"
"Let's go.." bulong ni tita sa akin at kumapit pa sa braso ko. Sabay kaming naglakad palapit sa dining table.
Pasimple akong humawak sa dibdib ko dahil ramdam ko ang bilis ng kabog nito. Baklit ba ako kinakabahan?
"Ate Mira, here, come one!"
Natauhan ako sa sigaw ni Samara, alanganin akong ngumiti at naglakad papunta sa tabi niya. Eh? Grabe nakakahiya!
"Oh? We have a visitor..." sabi nung dad niya in sarcastic way. Hala!
"Good evening! I am Mira Jane Lopez, sir" agad akong tumayo at nagpakilala.
"Take a seat, hija"
Nabunutan naman ako ng tinik ng sa wakas ay mag salita na siya. Agad akong humarap sakanila at umupo.
"Lopez? You are Mario Lopez's daughter, isn't you?" tanong niya. Napahinto ako at ngumiti ng alanganin bago sumagot.
"Yes, nice to meet you po"
"Mario is right, you are a fine lady now" natatawang sabi niya at ngumiti sakin. "Your dad always telling me about her princess and that's you, Mira, it's nice to meet you"
Nagulat ako sa sinabi ng daddy ni Sean kaya yumuko nalang ako saglit at humarap ulit sakanya.
"I'm sorry..." nakangiting sabi ko. Hays.
"No problem" sabi naman niya. Ngumiti ako at tumango tyaka nag umpisa narin kumain.
"How's your study here son, Alejandro?" tito Erick asked. Sean took a sip in his lemon juice.
"I'm doing good. I'm with Kierth and Luke" Sean exclaimed. Wow! May sarili din silang bahay na tatlo?
"I see. I want to meet Kierth and Luke, I miss those kiddo's" tito Erick pause for a while. Then look at our direction "How about my Princesses?"
Tumingin naman ako sa direksyon nila ate Sanya.
"Exuse me. Mom, dad----"
"Sanya! I'm asking the both of you, trying to escape again huh? "
"I'm doing well dad. As you can see, I'm the company director, Lalaine is the one who's managing the Avalor University" ate Sanya said in stress tone.
"Are you dating someone?"
"Are you alright?" tanong ni Sean. Bigla nalang nasamid si ate kaya naman agad siyang inabutan ng baso ng tubig.
"No. I'm not interested!" ate Sanya exclaimed. Nakita ko namang kumunot ang noo ni Samara.
"Huh? How about kuya Marco----"
"He's my childhood slash best friend, Samara!"
"HAHAHA! Defensive much?---"
"How about you, my youngest princess?" biglang tanong ni tito kay Samara. Natawa nalang ako dahil sa gulat niyang reaksyon.
"Ehem! I'm doing fine dad!" then she stood. Eh? Bakit parang umiiwas sila. Tumingin naman sa'kin si tito Erick kaya nataranta ako bigla.
"Mira? Are you Sean's girlfriend?"
"Dad naman! She's just my friend and classmates" paliwanag ni Sean. Tumingin naman sa akin si tito na parang humihingi ng approval.
"Yes po. I'm his friend? and just block mates.." I said awkwardly. Friend? Enemy kaya kami!
"They look good together, right?"
"Your mom is right, Alejandro.." tito paused for a while then look at me "Thanks for joining us, Mira"
"It's a pleasure.."
Tumayo na sila kaya tumayo narin kami ni Sean.
"Sean, pahatid mo na si Mira pauwe sa kanila" - Tita Sandra
"Yes, Mom" tumigil siya at tumingin sa akin "Let's go?" he asked. Tumango lang ako sakanya at humarap na sa mga magulang niya.
"Thank you for the dinner. I enjoy it po"
"Take care hija, hope to see you again!" - tita Sandra. Ngitian ko naman siya.

"Nandito na po ako.." sabi ko pag pasok ko sa bahay. Napatayo naman sila mula sa sala
"Mira! Where have you been?" alalang tanong ni Mama.
"I'm from Hernandez residence, I ate dinner with them" I said then sit. Napansin kong nandito pala ang magaling kong ama. Tinignan ko siya saglit at tumingin kay Mama.
"We have a visitor Ma?" sarcastic kong tanong.
"Mira!" saway ni mama. Humarap naman ako Kay Marion na nakaharap sa PSP niya.
"Hi! Where's kuya Marco?" tanong ko.
"In his room, by the way I'll take a rest.." he pause "Goodnight" then he stand up and left.
"I'll do the same, ma. Goodnight" and I kiss her both cheeks. Tumayo na ako at naglakad na papunta sa hagdan.
"Mira, Can we talk?"
Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at sobrang nag init ang buong katawan ko. I took a deep breath and faced him.
"I'm already tired, excuse me" sagot ko at dumiretso na sa kwarto ko. Humiga agad ako sa kama ko nang makarating ako sa kwarto. I can't help but to let my tears fall down. It's a tiring day.

"How's your first rehearsal, Mira? Sean?" tanong ni Kierth.
"Good" sabi ni Sean habang nagscroll sa phone niya mag kakatabi lang naman silang tatlo.
"Yeah. We already divided the part and practice" sagot ko naman.
"That's good. Well! Tomorrow we're going to rehears as a group. The dance troupe are also almost done with their choreography. Well? We'll find out that tomorrow, I'm gonna text you the meeting place, that's all for now! you can back to your own businesses. Thanks for the time" he said.
"I have to go too, bye bye!" tumayo na ako at naglakad paalis hahanapin ko pa si Trisha. Tsk. May problema ba ang isang yun?
"Mira, can we talk?"
Napahinto ako sa paglalakad ng may humawak sa wrist ko. Nakita ko naman si Sean na nakangiti sakin.
"Upo muna tayo" sabi niya at naglakad sa may katapat naming bench.
"Hmm...Sorry nga pala sa inasal ng parents ko last time. They're surprise, that's the first time I brought a girl in our mansion"
Napahinto naman ako at nagiwas ng tingin dahil naramdaman ko ang pag-init ng pisngi ko. First time huh?
"That's okay. Your parents are so cool HAHAHA" natatawang sabi ko.
"Can't you see? They want you to be their daughter-in-law"
Gulat akong napatingin sakanya, pero tumatawa lang siya. Bahagya kong hinampas ang braso niya.
"Ah! Ewan ko sayo, diyan kana nga!" singhal ko at tumayo na.
"Mira?" tawag niya ulit. Huminto ako at humarap sakanya.
"What?"
"Let's be friends"
Napahinto ulit ako sa pahabol niyang sinabi. Pinagmasdan ko lang siya habang nakangiti siya. sakin.
"Sure."
