Im getting ready for the dinner. I wore a black off shoulder dress na may white belt. Then my white pumps. Plain make up plus my hair is braid on one side.

"Ready?"  It was Art. Finally nandito na kami sa harap ng mansion nila. Yes its a mansion. Kaloka.

"Hay lets do this boyfie." And I smiled at him. Pumasok na kami. Maganda ang interior modern mediterranean ang theme. May mga paintings and wonderful vases.

"Art." May tumawag sa kanya. Then I saw a woman standing authorative. Beautiful. I saw Art's eyes on her. The mom.

"Mom. You look beautiful as usual. Where's dad?" Sabi ni Art. Still with me. Holding me on my waist. Yung mommy niya nakatingin sakin.

"Im here son." And there I saw a man walking down from the stairs. Wearing a suit that makes him a man. More of a man.

"Mom dad meet Sunshine Empress Santillan. My girlfriend and you future daughter in law." Badtrip tong si Art. Napataas naman ang kilay ng mommy niya.

"Hi Sir hi Ma'am. Im glad to finally meet you." I smiled at them. Then nakita ko yung mom niya smiled at me slowly.

"Finally a decent girl. Hi Ija can I call you Sunshine or Empress?" Sabi nito sabay kuha sa braso ko.

"Sunshine ma'am will do." Sagot ko naman.

"Ok Sunshine but please call me Tita." Sabi nito.
