The Bitchy Side of Me

Part 4

" Announcing the arrival of Mr. Benedict grandson and grand daughter Mr. Prince Justin Salvador and Ms. Princess Jazmine Salvador" and we hear the applause from the visitors. Wala ako masyadong makita dahil sa ilaw. And i can say that Mincess is good kasi hindi sya naangal.

" Hi Mr. and Ms. Salvador" bati samin ng isang lalaking naka formal attire.

"Welcome back to the Philippines " sabi naman nubg isang babaeng naka black na long gown. I think she's around 30 kasi ang ganda nya.

"How's your trip to San Francisco?" tanong naman nung isang matanda. But we don't answer their questions and we're still kepp walking until i hear a very familiar voice.

"My grandchildren welcome back" and yes tama nga hinala ko it's Papa which is our grandfather." And nagbeso sya samin ni Ice. Tiningnan ko si Ice and i know he's not in his mood already.

"Hi Princess and Prince. Kamusta ang bakasyaon sa San Francisco?" Tanong naman ni lolo but still Ice have no answer. Sasagutin ko na sana kaso si Ice sumingit agad.

"Can we sit down first? Cess is wearing a high heels shoes and she's with a dog. Kaya nahihirapan na sya. So can we sit first Sir" so ako pa ang dahilan ng pagkagalit nya? Come on Ice kakahiya. Oh ohh. Ice is already mad. Hindi nya kasi gusto yung mga ganto ni lolo. Actually close naman sila but ayaw lang talag ni Ice ng maraming camera and maraming tao. But they are in good terms.

"Okay sorry Pricess hindi ko napansin. But your so pretty apo. Manang mana ka sa nanay mo" sabay hawak sa pisngi ko. Papa Benedict is my mother's father. I almost cry because i feel mom's hands in my cheeks again but Ice hold my hand tight and i know what that means.

"Thank you papa. And for your information papa i know it already hahahah"

"So can we proceed?" Eto na naman si Ice. Atat lang lagi gusto magawa agad ang gusto nya.

"Okay apo sorry. So this way?" Sinundan lang naman namin si Papa until makarating kami sa VIP table and i saw him already. The one that change my perspective in life.

"Hi kids how are you?" Dad ask but actually kay Ice lang sya nakatingin.

"We're okay dad. I'm doing great in SanFo and specially Cess. She's one of the best fashion designer, model, actress and specially a MedTech there" Ice is always finding a way para maipahanga nya kay Dad lahat ng achievements ko.

" oh that's good. So let's have a seat. And talk about you Ice" and bingo. Si Ice lang ang gusto nyang makita. Dad didn't know how much it kills me every time na hindi nya ako pinapansinb. I miss the old us. And we follow the waiter to have our seat.

"So Ice how's your life in SanFo?" Tanong ni dad while were eating. While Ice is talking to dad I'm just with Mincess. Ang galing nitong asong to. May proper etiquette din.

"Hey Cess" and it's Papa

"Yes papa?"

"How's your life in SanFo?" Buti pansi Papa tinatanong ako. Eh si Dad wala. Then I realize that everybody in the table is looking at me now.

"It's good papa. I enjoy staying there specially with Ice" and they continue eating na. Siguro iniintay na naman nilang magkamali ako para mailagay saga magazines nila but sorry I'm a better person now.

"So Cess kailan balik mo sa SanFo?" I don't know kung matutuwa ba ako o maiinis. Kasi first of all this is the first time that dad talk to me in a good way lagi nya kasing sinasabi lahat ng pagkakamali ko. Second kaya ako maiinis kasi parang pinapaalis na nya ako dito s Pilipinas and ako lang hindi kasama si Ice.

"Dad pag aalis si Cess sasama ako. I can't leave her alone there" depensa naman ni Ice.

"Matagal pa po eh. May gagawin pa kasi ako dito sa Pilipinas" sagot ko naman.
