Starish and I (On-going)

Chapter 5: It will Eventually

HANNAH'S POV

"What are you kidding? right? Honey" Jessica asked amusingly. Di ata makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. Honey is a name where my Friends and Dad used to call me.

"I'm not kidding. And What can I get for telling it. Kung di naman totoo?" I said. Sinabi ko kasi ang surprise sa akin ni Dad.
And I've never been assumed things. I don't want to expect lalo na sa taong gusto ko. I don't want to be hurt

"Well, when it comes to you. Naniniwala ako Honey"
Kristel said while spreading her arms. Of course I hugged her.
Palagi kayang nasa side ko si Kristel.
Si Jessica naman, she's like a eldest sister to us.

"Opps. Teka wala ba akong hug jan?" She was about to hug as when Kristrel push her gently that caused her to stepped back.

"Don't try Jes, Ikaw kasi palagi mung inaaway si Hannah''
Natawa na lang ako sa sinabi ni Ktistel. She looks like a kid. Ibang- iba sa personality niyang pinapakita sa ibang tao.

"Kayo naman, I'm just kidding girls. Masaya nga ako kasi for a very very long time, hindi mu na siya iistalk. Makakasama mu na siya" She happily said. But I almost arch my brows from what i've heard.

"What stalked do you mean?! I-" She cutted me off.

"Just kidding" And she burst out laughing."just kidding" ba word of the day namin? Pero totoo naman talaga hindii ko siya inistalk. Never!

"Sige na nga join with us" And with that she joined with us.
Totoo nga naman everytime na maiisip ko ang pagtira ko sa bahay nila kahit di lang naman siya ang makakasama ko.

There's something weird I felt and I find it strange. But yet Kinikilig ako.

                                                          

                                                           ***

Sucks.. That's what I felt right now. Palibutan ka ba naman ng mga kilala at ginagalang na mga personalidad sa bansa. To my surprise they are my Dad's business buddies and close friends.

"I'm glad you're all here, and I'm proudly to meet you my only Daughter. Hannah Aurnelia" Tumayo ako ng ipinakilala ako ni Dad at nakipagshakehands sa kanila. The truth is may kakilala na akong partners ni Dad

"Hi there Princess, Long time no see" I respond a sweetest smile to Tito Leonardo. Malapit na ako sa kanya dahil kapag may okasyon laging nandiyan ito at syempre kapag birthday ko always present ito with Gift.

"Oh.Hi there old man" I mocked at him. Lumapit ako at nagbeso. I used to called him Old man just to teased him.

"What a Brat Princess. Well how was your vacation from States?
I just heard them laughed even Dad.

"Well as you see I am fine and still Gorgeous. So I can tell it's nice being there"
They just laughed again in unison. After that I roamed my eyes, Looking for someone.

"Looking for me Princess?" As I heard him called me, smile plastered in my lips. It's him.
The man who I thought as my second father next to Dad.

"Tito Daddy" After I called his name I pouted. I miss Tito Dad. Why treat him as my second Father?
Kasi when I was a child he's been always there at our Mansion
Like Tito Leonardo, Tito Daddy always present in my Birthdays.

Pero mas napalapit ako kay Tito Daddy kasi kahit wala si Dad sa bahay. He's always at our mansion and played with me
Ewan ko nga kung bakit di ko nakilala ang ibang kaibigan ni Dad.

"By the way where's Tita Mommy?" I also hugged and beso him.
Pati kasi sa asawa nito close ako.
Sayang nga lang di ako close sa anak nilang lalaki, nawhich is ka-edad korin. We never been met personally before until now.
Ewan ko lang kung bakit samantalang magkalapit naman mga parents namin.

It maybe the Faiths choice. But I know someday or maybe this week or coming days, We will meet each other Eventually. I am really confident with it.

"Actually she also wants to go with me" He stopped and gazed everyone.

"Pero as what they have said, It's between business buddies and you this meeting is for. But don't worry she's fine"
Its been a long years I didn't saw Tita Mommy. Kung di kasi busy ito magmamigrate naman ito for some business.

"Nice to hear that. Tell Tita Mom I really miss her"
TitoDad just smiled and nodded. Muntik ko ng makalimutan may mga kasama pala kami.

"Oh I'm so sorry for the manner. I forgot na nandito po pala kayo"
I know I may sound bitch pero di kasi ako plastic. If what I want to say. I say it without even thinking. In short I am a straight forward person.

"It's okay ija, just take your time" Ani ng Mr Alcantara. Yeah I've known them. As I've said they were famous Businessman.

"Ahm. How can I start this. Well can we just sit down first"
I tilted my head to Dad. He just smiled and we made a sit.

"Well, It's my pleasure to meet all of my Dad's friends. As you have see a while, I already know Tito Leonardo and Tito Daddy Patrick.
And I want to know the other friends of my Dad" Dad Cleared his troat.

"Well give me the floor for that. This man beside me is your Uncle Bernard. It's Zander's Dad remember the one of the member of STARISH? Well he is the owner of Alonzo Corp.
The next one is Noel, Tristan father. Noel Jaranilla, owned the Mens Sports Wear.
Then Damien Dylan's Dad, John Lexter's Dad and Allan is Carlos Dad na siyang Client natin"
Ngiti at tango ang respond ko sa bawat pakilala sa akin nila ni Dad.

"Well, Mind if I ask a question?" I've been really wanted to ask this and this is the right time.

"What is it Ija, that you want to ask?" Mr. Damien asked.

"Whats gotten all of you. To made this set-up?" I asked them straight to the point. But ni iisang respond wala akong nakuha.
They seem to shut there mouth. As I look at them around, Only one expression painted on their face.
The seriousness.

"I'm sorry it's maybe too private.So kailan po ako lilipat sa STARISH Mansion" I asked to broke the silence.

"Too much excited for that Ija" Dad said. I just gave him a smile.

"Just let your Daughter express her feelings" I looked at TitoDad. I gave him my approved sign.

"Why are you so excited Ija? Is it because you're living with the STARISH or maybe because" Tigil hininga akung nakatingin kay Mr. Alcantara. I even subconsciously drink a water.

"You are already liking someone that from STARISH"
Muntik ko ng maibuga ang tubig na iinomin ko. It was not a question.
It was more than a statement that he directly said to me.

"Excuse me, Im sorry?" tanging na sabi ko lamang. They are putting me on the the spot. Are they going to throw me questiomn?! What if i couldn't answer it with sll my heart?

"Sorry ija, for asking you on the spot" Tipid na ngiti ang isinagot ko. Atleast hindi sa pilitan.

"Ahm, so nagustuhan niyo ba ang foods? What about you ija?"
Mr.Alonzo asked and I answered him automatically.

"Yes po.It's really suit my tastes buds" I heard some cleared their throat and some are looking each other.
May mali ba sa sinabi ko? masarap naman talagang iyong food.
Napatingin ulit ako kay Mr. Alozo. Puzzledly.

"That's good to hear" He continiously said.

"No wonder if Zander Rant was one of the famous restaurant in the country"
I was just listening to Dad and Mr. Alonzo's conversation. Did just said Zander and by any chance they mean.

"Zander Rant? You mean"
I looked at them puzzled STARISH Band are famous kaya kilala ko lahat ng members nila.
By their looks I concluded it's really him.

"Yes Ija, This restaurant is owned by Zander Alonzo"
Mr. Montefalco answered me.
It was like he knows exactly what I want to know. Really, that's really hard to believe. But when it comes Starish they are beyond expectation.

"He's quite empressive"
I said. Why would I not? He was able to manage his owned restaurant .
Dinspite of his hectic schedule and he's still studying
Narinig ko naman ang pagtikhim nila at pagtinginan.

"Just that don't mind ija, they are just showing off of what they have" I just looked at Dad unbelievably. O-oh They've got the wrong Idea.
I'm just impress no more no less.
