Truth

The day where my sister will now enter the stage of being a fine lady has come. Today is already her birthday and everyone of us is now busy preparing for tonight's event.

I am finalizing my gift for my sister at kanina ko pa din iniisip kung papaano ko ibibigay ito sa kanya. We had a fight because of how I reacted when I saw her with James at UPTC at hanggang ngayon, medyo naging distant sa akin ang kapatid ko.

I know it's my fault. I am being to irrational and immature when it comes to him. I realized that what I did was really wrong and I wanted to say sorry to my sister because of how I talked to her the other day. Gusto kong magkaayos kami ngayon lalo na at birthday na niya.

I immediately went to her suite that I reserved for her and for her friends kasi after ng event, mag oovernight dito ang mga kaibigan niya and so I chose the big one. Tatlong katok lang at pinagbuksan kaagad ako ng isa sa mga glam team ko na siya ding mag-aayos kay Naomi.

"Hi Miss Nadine good afternoon po. Pasok po kayo."

I smiled at her and I went inside my sister's suite. Everyone is already busy preparing for later's event at napansin ko ang ibang mga regalo na nagkalat sa loob ng kwarto. Medyo madami dami na pala ang nagbigay ng regalo sa kapatid ko and I am sure mukhang mas dadami pa ito mamayang gabi.

"Mimi, nandito ang Ate Nadine mo." Barbie immediately announced when I enter at napatingin ang kapatid ko sa salamin.

"We'll just go out first, Teng."

I just smiled on them at naiwan kaming dalawa ng kapatid ko sa loob ng kwarto. Lumapit ako sa kanya at inayos ang buhok niya mula sa likod.

"Happy birthday." I said. Ngumiti ang kapatid ko at hinawakan ang kamay ko na nakapatong sa kanyang braso. Tumayo siya sa pagkakaupo mula sa makeup chair at nagulat ako dahil sa biglaang pagyakap niya sa akin.

"I'm sorry I was being irrational this past few days. Hindi ko lang kasi alam paano-"

"Ate, ayos lang yun. Ano ka ba huwag ka na nga magdrama diyan masisira ang makeup ko oh!"

Tumawa kami at niyakap ko siyang mabuti. Hindi ako sanay na magkaaway kami ng kapatid ko o di kaya hindi sa maayos na lagay. Kaya ngayon masaya ako na maayos na kaming dalawa.

"Alam mo Ate hindi naman talaga ako galit. Hindi ka dapat sa akin nagsosorry Ate."

Napaisip ako dahil sa sinabi ng kapatid ko sa akin. Biglang napakunot ang noo ko at naalala kong bakit ako ang kailangang humingi ng tawad sa kanya?

"Ate alam ko na naging mahirap para sayo ang mga nangyari dati pero hindi naman ata tama na hanggang ngayon mabubuhay ka nalang sa galit mo para kay Kuya James. Siguro Ate it's time to face the reality. That maybe it's time to bury the hatchet with him."

Natigil ako dahil sa sinabi ng kapatid ko sa akin. I didn't expect that my sister would say those things to me right now. She's really growing up already and she already knows what's the right thing to do.

And I feel sorry for myself because of how I treat James until now.

"Dami mong alam ah akala mo hindi ka bata!"

"Hindi naman na talaga Ate eh! 18 na kaya ako!"

She maked face and I hugged her in the end. I am happy that in times like when I can't open up my feelings to my parents, there's Naomi who knows what to say to at least ease the heaviness or the pain that I am feeling.

"Okay one last shot for this. Good! What a lovely family!"

Andrei, my friend and the official photographer for tonight's event instructed us what to do to have a nice shot. Nagsimula na kasi ang photoshoot namin at pagkatapos ay isang shots pa para kay Naomi.
