Finally, the most awaited hour is here!
Jelly is still in her bedroom trying to review her checklist from her brain. "Ahmmm... ready na ba talaga ako?" Tanong nya sa sarili.
Dress... check!
Shoes... check!
Accessories... check!
Cologne... check!
Make-up... check!
"Eh ako? Ahmm.. Di ko alam bahala na! " Medyo kinakabahan pa din na sabi nya.
Bakit nga ba sya sobrang kinakabahan? Date lang naman to, pero parang feeling nya ay nanlalambot na kaagad tuhod nya.. Siguro dahil first time? This is her first date... "Ahhh, siguro nga..." Bulong nya sa sarili.
Suddenly, Jelly heard someone knocking at the door. "Hey Jelly, don't you want to go down already? Your dad, your kuya and Vince are dying to see how you look. Lumabas ka na daw." It's her mom.
"Okay mom, I'll be there shortly. Just give me a few minutes." She replied. "Whooosh! Talaga naman yung mga boys na yun... Nung nag-JS Prom ako at nung nag-debut ako ganung-ganun din sila, hayyy.." Bulong ni Jelly sa sarili.
Then she take one last look at herself in the mirror. Just last look to make sure that everything is already good. Then, she told herself, "You're pretty tonight, so why worry?".
She examined her long black straight hair that she just decided to leave as it is. She looked at the gold with white pearl pendant necklace that came with the pair of earrings and a bracelet that her mom and dad gave her 2 months ago for her debut. She stared carefully at the details of the dress that she's wearing. The dress is a white elegant V-neck sleeveless, half open back chiffon dress. It has an uneven length which is a knee-length in front and spreads out longer to the back. It has black accent in the neck and waistline which adds to the glamour. Then, she looked down to inspect her black 10 cm-high stiletto with a thin strap accross the toes and a wrap-around ankle strap with a silver buckle fastening on the side. It gives the additional sophistication and style to the dress that she's wearing.
"Everything seems great so I think it's time to come out in the open..." She told herself smilingly.
Huminga muna sya ng malalim bago lumabas ng kwarto. Then she slowly walk through the stairs and go down very slowly... Parang prinsesa lang ang peg, ganun?
She saw her mom, her dad, Kuya Jeremy and Vince looking at her while she slowly glides on every steps. She can see the admiration from their face and she thought... "Well, kase naman love na love nila ako lahat kaya gandang-ganda silang lahat sa kin, whahaha!"
She was on her last 4 steps and napatigil sya sa emotera nyang pagbaba ng biglang, "Wait, wait! Stop ka muna dyan ha!" Ang Kuya Jeremy habang itinatapat sa kanya ang camera. "Picture, picture muna at ng may souvenir ka habang maganda ka pa, hehe!" Sabay press sa camera button.
"Hmmpp ibig sabihin hindi ako araw-araw maganda?" Nagmamaktol na sabi ni Jelly.
Tawanan silang lahat.
"Hahaha! Tingnan mong kuha mo nakasimangot tuloy! Isa pa nga!" Natatawang sabi ni Jeremy.
Ngumiti naman si Jelly para naman meron syang magandang souvenir at hindi yung nakasimangot na malamang ay isa na naman sa ipopost ng Kuya nya sa FB nya with matching tag pa at sa lahat ng kakilala. "Waahhh! Kuya is so bad!" Sigaw nya sa isip nya.
Nang nakababa na si Jelly sa hagdan totally, ay nag-group photos na sila. Jeremy set up his tripod so that everyone, even Vince, can join the photo. Jeremy is a photography hobbyist so one of his favorite subjects mag-picture sa buong family.
