CHAPTER 2
I couldn't help but pout the whole ride hanggang sa makarating kami sa mansyon ng mga LeFevre. I don't even know kung gusto lang kami. makasama nila tita Imelda o kung may iba pang party ngayon. Ang alam ko bukas pa ang party para sa pagbabalik ni Marcus dito sa bansa. He has been studying abroad for years, but napagdesisyunan nitong dito na lang ipagpatuloy ang pag-aaral tutal may sarili naman silang paaralan, international pa! That's where we all go. Actually sa tingin ko nga lahat ng anak ng mga empleyado nila ay doon nag-aaral. You know, they gotta make sure they keep track of everyone.
Anyway, I really don't know what's the party for!
"Please remind me why we are here again?" sabi ko sa mga magulang ko na nasa harapan. I wish they felt the annoyance in my voice dahil sobrang nakakairita na andito kami ng ganito kaaga on a weekend!
My mom chuckled. "It's just a welcome party for Marcus. Isasabay na rin sa party ang birthday nito."
"Huh? Akala ko bukas pa iyon? So what's the party today for? At hindi ba ay next week ang birthday ni Marcus, so does that mean na wala nang party sa araw na iyon?" I am confused!
"Kuya Marcus," my mom corrected me. I rolled my eyes. Yeah, yeah, it's not like I'm gonna start calling him kuya. "What party? Walang party ngayon. Imelda just invited us to stay there overnight para hindi na tayo mahassle sa pag punta bukas. Besides, I'd like to help them," ani mommy. "And for Marcus' 16th birthday, Imelda said they will just throw an intimate dinner. Tama na daw ang isang engrandeng party," she added.
"So you mean to say I could still be lying on my super soft bed right now but instead I had to get up early just so I could see Theo's annoying face?" reklamo ko sabay irap.
My parents just laughed at me. It's not like I have a say. Don't get me wrong, I love going to their huge mansion for training, and not for parties!
Papasok pa lang kami ng gate ay kitang kita ko na ang iba't ibang sasakyan. I bet some are from the event organizers. Siguradong pinaghandaan nila ang party. I won't be surprised if I see some showbiz personalities tomorrow. My dad parked our car inside the garage. My parents have their designated parking spots inside the garage. That's how close our families are.
Pagbaba namin ng sasakyan ay binati na kami ng ilang empleyado ng mga LeFevre. Two servants even took our bags. Sometimes their system is just so amazing and organized. Example, the servants did not even ask us where to put our bags. I assume that either Don Antonio or tita Imelda already told them where will we be staying.
Pagpasok namin sa loob ng mansyon ay busy na ang mga tao. Dad went straight to Don Antonio's office, which is hindi na bago. I saw tita Imelda talking to who I assume is the event organizer. Some people were carrying chairs and tables and bringing them outside. So labas ang party. Sometimes they hold parties inside the mansion, pero minsan ay sa malawak nilang bakuran. I guess the party tomorrow might have some wild moments then, especially if it's for Marcus.
Tita Imelda immediately saw us and headed toward us.
"Akala ko ay hindi na kayo darating!" ani tita Imelda.
"Naku, mas maaga pa sana kami kung hindi lang tinanghali ng gising si Kimberly," ani mommy.
I pouted and they just laughed.
"I'm sure inaantok pa si Kimberly ngayon. Don't worry, hija, you'll have your own room so just feel free to sleep anytime!" baling sa akin ni tita Imelda.
Looking at tita Imelda, she really looks like an angel! Napakabait at amo ng mukha nito lalo na kapag hindi ito nakapagayos. And she looks very classy, too! But now, she really looks like an angel, syempre lalo mukhang anghel dahil naglaan na naman ito ng isang kwarto para sa akin. Pero maganda talaga siya! She could stay bare face or put any kind of make up, bagay pa rin sa kanya! Ang effortless. Ang kinis ng balat. Sana all!
