Our Fated Encounter [Completed]

Chapter 27

Stella's POV:

Kanina pa ako nakatitig sa sarili habang hinahayaan ang oras na tumakbo. I just don't know how to make myself look presentable for his parents' eyes. I've surely met them a lot of times pero iba parin yung ngayon.

"Baby?Buhay ka pa ba diyan?" pang iistorbo na naman ng isang 'to.

I heard him open the door kaya I have no choice but deal with him now.

"O anong problema mo d'yan?Ba't di ka pa nakaayos?" he asked once he saw me just sitting in front of the mirror.

"I know na kinakabahan ka pero it's not like you haven't met them before." He started kaya napalingon ako sa kanya with my worried eyes.

"Well tonight is just... different..." I said as I faced the mirror once more

"But it's for a good cause, right?" he asked kaya napatango ako

He held both of my shoulders while facing my reflection on the mirror and said,

"Just calm down, okay? We are all coming with you and just think that after tonight's dinner, you'll be official. Kaya ayusin mo na yang sarili mo kung ayaw mong maging 'tardy' and first impression nila sa'yo."

He messed up my hair and said, "We'll be waiting downstairs, do your magic and make yourself look human ok?" he then shut the door close before I could even react.

I then started to fix my face, I don't know this kind of stuff but I'm doing this according to what I observed from the make-up artist the last time, hope it turns out right.

After I did 'my make-up', I simply fixed my hair and put on a white dress. And excuse me, nakaligo na ako ha before pa ako magtulala dun na parang ewan.

"Ok ka na?", Angelo asked as I went down the stairs

"Ma,ayos na ba 'to?" I asked my mom, ignoring Angelo.

"You look beautiful,baby." She said then hugged me

"Ano ka ba tita mommy, magkasama naman po tayong magdidinner, di pa naman po siya magpapakasal." Angelo said kaya napakalas si mama sa yakap at matalim na tinignan si Angelo.

"Hehe sorry po,tara na?" he said surrendering, napatawa nalang kami ni mama at naglakad na palabas para iwan si Angelo.

We silently drove off sa sinabing restaurant ni John. I felt my hands trembling and getting colder as we approached the said place.

"Mauna na kayong pumasok sa loob, park ko lang 'to." Angelo said that made me realize na nandito na pala kami.

"Sumunod ka kaagad," bilin pa ni mama sa kanya, "Tara na Stella, baka kanina pa nila tayo hinihintay."

Lumabas naman kami kaagad dahil nakakahiya naman silang pahintayin. I saw John near the door because I remember texting him that we were on our way.

"Good evening po Mrs. Gonzales," he greeted my mom tsaka bumeso at lumapit naman siya sa'kin at bumulong ng, "I'm impressed, you made yourself look human tonight." tsaka agad na umiwas papunta sa tabi ni mama.

"Di ko talaga mawari kung gusto mo ba talaga ako or gusto mo lang akong asarin lagi." I said pero tuluyan na nga siyang tumabi kay mama.

"Let's head inside na po." He told my mom, guiding her inside but he made a quick glance at me with his usual 'nang aasar' smile and so I replied it with a death glare pero natawa nalang ako sa early niyang pang-aasar.

When we went in, akala ko we could easily see them but I didn't know that they rented a private room for us to dine in. And then there they were chit chatting while waiting for us to come. And when they noticed we were here, they immediately stood up to greet us.
