Days after, nakauwi na kami ni mommy. I didn't know that my parents are rich as fuck, kung gaano ka yaman si Albert, times 3 naman kela mommy at daddy.
This is it! I'll be able to meet my father and my sister. Kinakabahan ako kasi what if my little sister wouldn't like me? Damn.
Nakapasok na yung sasakyan namin sa loob ng village, only rich people can afford a lot sa village kaya it's 101% safe kasi you'll list the people you know para makapasok sa village.
"Mom? Balik nalang ako bukas."
"Why? Napagusapan na natin to ak." Mom.
"Oo nga mommy pero kasi what if ayaw nila sa akin? What if h—"
She cutted me. "They'll love you, and they are excited to see you. Wag ka ngang kabahan, that's so not you. Hindi ka kinakabahan pag may gang fight pero kinakabahan ka sa sarili mong pamilya? Hahaha!"
"Shut up mommy. Iba kasi yung sa gang and iba yung sa family. Duh."
Hindi na niya ako pinansin kasi naging busy siya sa phone niya. Ibinaling ko nalang yung tingin ko sa window and minutes after, the gate opened, damn it's automatic.
"Let's go, Ak!" Tumakbo na si mommy papasok kaya naiwan ako sa labas. What the hell?!
I opened the door and holy shit pumutok yung mga party poppers kaya nanlaki ang mga mata ko at inilibot ang tingin sa mga taong nandito sa loob ng bahay. Dylan and friends are here, Ashley and Ali, my cousins are complete, there are some guests na hindi ko kilala, and of course my mom together with my dad. Where's my sister?
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday to you!"
Ha? Birthday ko ngayon?!
Lumapit sina mommy sa'kin while holding my cake. "Make a wish honey."
I hope wala ng hahadlang sa kasiyahan ko and I hope wala ng gulo.
I blow the candle kaya nagpalakpakan silang lahat.
Unang lumapit sina Ali sa'kin and they hugged me immediately.
"Distance." After saying distance, kumalas na sila sa yakap and hinampas ako ni Ashley.
"Ano ba liyah, pwede ba na maging mabait ka today? Magpakita ka naman ng kahit konting emotion."
Hindi naman siguro masama na ipakita ko yung emotion ko sa isang araw diba?
I smiled at them and hug them. "Thank you. Thank you for being such a good friend to me, and thank you for staying despite of my attitude. I may not showing my emotions pero palagi niyong tatandaan na I'll always be here for you."
Kumalas na ako sa yakap at natawa sa reaction nina Ali kaya napatawa ako ng malakas when someone spoke behind my back.
"Mas maganda ka kapag nakangiti."
Tinignan ko kung sino at nakita ko sina Dylan.
"Hey, thanks for coming and uhm Dylan?"
"Yes?"
"Shut up."
He laughed and nagsalita si Josh and Kirk, take note na sabay pa silang nagsalita ha. "Happy birthday, Liyah!" Hindi naman sila nag practice no? Lol.
