Thirty days.
It's been thirty days but Race was nothing but a good boyfriend. Lahat ng whims ko, pinagbibigyan niya. He never made me jealous again. At once na napansin niyang naiirita ako sa mga umaaligid sa kanya, umiiwas na agad siya. We would always have dinner together, cuddle--if timeout sa sex-- and talk like we are in a serious relationship.
He's busy with inter district tournament --the West Conference-- at pasok na sila for the Finals. At kasabah ng finals ay final exam na rin sa school. Kaya doble kayod ang players ngayon and of course, as an ulirang kasintahan, I help him do some paperworks.
He never mention anything about the contract. At never ko na rin inopen-up ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya.
Maybe because I'm contented with what he have right now. And I'm happy.. i guess.
"Cous, you ready?" Naagaw niya ang pansin ko. I nodded at her and looked at the vanity mirror once again. I am wearing a peach bodycon dress and a white flats.
"Haaaay. Sasabak na naman tayo sa matinding gyera nito. Bakit kasi napaaga ang uwi ng mga magulang natin?" Reklamo ni Brit. She's wearing a red haltered top paired with black long skirt and a high heel black shoes.
"You sound like you are not happy to see your parents, dear cousin." Puna ko rito. She smirked and raised her brows at me.
"As if you like seeing your parents too, dear cousin."
It's my turn to smirk.
"I love them. They are just.. unfair." I conceded. Brit sadly sighed.
Kung may issues kami with the Juans, mas malaki ang tampo namin sa aming mga magulang. They let us do what we want, give us what we want but in return, they'll always compare us with the apple of their eyes..ang mga Juans.
That's why as much as possible, we don't want to see them or be with them in a famliy dinner dahil siguradong puro shortcomings namin ang makikita nila.
But of course, we can't say no to this family dinner. We are still a family, afterall.
We arrived at the Monteritz Estate after an hour. Buti at hindi kami na-late. Minus points na naman if ever.
We heaved a deep breath at hawak kamay kaming magpinsan sa pagpasok sa grandyosang pinto ng mansion.
"Natatae ata ako, Hiraya." Bulong ni Brit.
Ganito talaga kami every family dinner na pupuntahan.
"Pigilan mo muna. Baka sabihin late tayo eh." Ganting bulong ko.
"Paano kung biglang sumabog to? Nakakahiya kaya!" Worried pa na sabi nito. Kitkit niya pa ang kanyang kuko.
"Shut it, cous okay? Bakit ba sobrang tense ka? Hmm. Natatakot kang alam nila ang mga kagagahan mo noh?" Biro ko sa kanya. Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin.
"As if ikaw walang kagagahan eh noh? "
"Ladies..it's nice to see you again.." bungad ni Butler John.
We smiled and kissed him in the cheeks. He's been with us for three decades na daw. He had seen us all grew up. Isa siya sa pinaka pinagkakatiwalaan ng angkan.
"Your parents are waiting in the dining room. You better walk fast, ladies. They are all frowning." At kinindatan pa kami samantalang napangiwi na lang kami. Sabi na nga ba. Nakaabot na sa kanila ang balita. Hays.
Binaybay namin ang hall papuntang dining room at bumungad sa amin ang 22 seater long table na puno ng dekorasyon at pagkain.
I spotted my parents at agad akong lunapit upang batiin sila.
