Maureen's POV

It's true that kuya Carlo has a new girlfriend. It's all over their conversation throughout the ride. Bukang bibig din ito ng kuya Jasper kong likas na ata ang pagkamadaldal.

Ang nakakaloka pa dito ay bago kami tumuloy sa venue ng party ay dumaan muna kami sa isang sopistikadang boutique!

Ang sabi naman ni Mommy ay: "We will buy a new dress, for you my dear daughter. Look at you, baka akalain nila, lahat ng anak ko ay lalaki. Besides, formal themed ang party ng mga Choi. Come here darling, I'm pretty sure that it will suits you."

Napatingin naman ako ngayon sa suot ko. It was a royal blue dress just above the knee and also has swarovski crystals to highlight the important details of the dress. It is a tube type that clung perfectly to define my curves, at the back it has a deep cut to dramatically highlight my spine.

Which I guess is too much for this event though. Hindi ako sanay ng naka ganito. Sa bahay nga ay shirt at jeans lang ang porma ko.
Bakit ba kasi ngayon ko lang nalaman ito? Sana sinabi man lang nila sa'kin para hindi na ako pumunta diba?

But wait, bakit hindi ako pupunta? Do I have a problem with the fact that kuya Carlo has a girlfriend already? Big deal na ba iyon?

No! Big NO! OKAY?! Dapat maging happy ako para sa kuya ko! I should stop this stupid thing that I am feeling right now.

I blinked when the car stops at one of the grand hotels in the country. Well I guess this 'girlfriend' is really something, it also has its name in the elite society.

Unang bumaba sila Mommy at Daddy, sumunod si kuya Jas at kuya Gian. Bababa narin sana ako nang bumalik si kuya Gian para alalayan ako. I realized that I'm wearing heels.

Tatanggapin ko na sana ang kamay ni kuya Gian nang biglang lumapit si kuya Carlo sakin.

"Let me," He said in a serious tone. Napaangat ang tingin ko sa kanya. Hinawakan niya ang kamay kong naka angat sa ere na dapat ay para kay kuya Gian. Tuluyan na niya akong inaalalayang makababa sa sasakyan.

Nakita kong natawa si kuya Gian. "You seriously have to head inside, bro. You are badly needed there, kanina pa! Ikaw lang naman ang 'boyfriend' at escort ng debutante, pfft."

Hinawakan na ako ni kuya Gian sa kabilang kamay. "I can take care of Maureen."

Mariin lang na nakatitig si kuya Carlo sakin at hindi parin binibitawan ang kamay ko. Dumarami narin ang tao papasok mula sa red carpeted na entrance ng hotel. Puro flash din ng camera kaya medyo naiilang na ako.

"Uh, I think kuya Gian's right, you should head inside first, kuya." Pinili kong magsalita na. Tinitigan niya ako at nakita ko ang pagkairita niya. I don't know if it's for me or the situation.

I saw annoyance in his face bago niya ako tuluyang pakawalan at naunang pumasok sa loob ng hotel. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang sundan siya ng tingin.

"Come on, Maureen?" Narinig kong sabi ni kuya Gian. Napatango nalang ako at iginaya na ako papasok sa venue.

The party was a royal blue themed and it's over the whole place. From the decorations, flowers and motif. That's explains why Mommy chose this color for my dress as well as hers.

I can say that the motif was chosen with sophistication. Even the slightest details was flawless. This was indeed a debut party for a daughter of an elite personality.
