AYANNA
Nauna akong bumalik sa party where ate Aliana was already looking for me. "Where have you been, Ayanna? Ipapakilala ka sana nila dad sa mga anak ng Dela Fuente."
"I thought this was Aria's party? Bakit andito mga business partners ni dad? Are they talking about business again?" I rolled my eyes. Dad has been like that ever since and that's why I don't want to throw a birthday party because for sure he'll invite his business partners and talk about business as always.
"Sundin mo na lang si Dad. I've seen their son, he's handsome!" Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako sa sinasabi ni ate Aliana. Lagi siyang ganyan, looking for a match for me.
Hinanap ko muna si Gab and I didn't fail, Isaw him talking with his dad. His eyes landed on me and he smiled. I smiled back.
"Ayanna! Dad's calling us! We should go."
Sumunod naman ako kay ate at lumapit kami kay dad na may kausap na isang matandang lalaki and a young man that looks like the same age as me.
Ate was right, he is handsome..
"These two are my precious girls.." Pakilala ni dad sa amin. "This is Aliana my eldest among my daughters.." Nakipag shake hands si ate sa matandang Dela Fuente.
Noong nakipagshake hands siya sa anak ng matandang Dela Fuente ay nakita kong ngumiti yung lalaki. Damn! May dimples siya!
"And this is Ayanna, she's the most stubborn among my kids.." Pakilala sa akin ni dad. Wow that was a nice introduction. Napatawa ang matandang Dela Fuente. "Girls, this is Jose Dela Fuente, my highschool friend. And this is his son, Hayme Dela Fuente." Nakipaghandshake rin ako sa kanilang dalawa.
"Ang gaganda naman ng mga anak mo Adam. Manang mana sa kanilang ina. Bantayan mo yan ng mabuti." Ani ng Matandang Dela Fuente.
"It's been very difficult for me to protect them from those boys. Lalo na kung gusto talaga ng anak ko yung lalaking yun." Wika ni dad.
"May mga boyfriend na ba yan, pre?" Tanong ng kaibigan ni dad.
"Walang boyfriend si Ayanna but Aliana has one." Dad turned to ate Aliana. "I've told her alot of times to break up with that asshole."
Ate rolled her eyes. "Dad, wala na kami ni Icarus."
Halos mapatalon si dad sa narinig. "Thank God! Mabuti naman kung ganoon."
He turned to his friend. "Well pare, looks like they're still my little girls." Inakbayan kami parehas ni dad.
"Dad, isn't she the model of one of the covers in Esquire's magazine?" Tanong ni Hayme sa kanyang ama, talking about me. Well, I've done shoots with Esquire before.
"Is she?" Nagtaas ng kilay ang kanyang ama.
Tumango ako. "Yup, that was me."
"Woah, are you allowed to do that kind of shoot?" He asked.
"Oo nga naman Adam. Pinayagan mo ba ang anak mo para doon?"
"You know me Jose. I don't allow my girls to reveal their skin in public especially to men. But as I said, Ayanna is the most stubborn among my daughters." Ani Dad.
