Love that never fades

01

Nagdabog ako sa kwarto ko. I threw my things on my bed. Huminga ako ng malalim bago umupo sa kama. I feel like my face right now is a mess!

"Rylee! You should run the business. Kasi sino ang mag hahawak noon kapag wala na kami?" Now I heard again my dad who's trying to change my decision!

"Romel! Let her choose for her own! Huwag na nating pilitin pa." I almost thanked mom between the argument because of what she said! Dapat lang naman talaga na tayong mga anak ang papiliin sa nais nating trabaho!

"Pero, mahal.. How's our company? Pwede naman siyang maging CEO noon.." I heard my dad once more. Napapikit na ako at puno na ang inis sa utak!

I faced them, "Dad! I said I want to be a fashion model. Not CEO! Wala rin ang pagpapatakbo ko noon kung hindi ko passion, okay?"

"Anong sabi mo-" Mom cut him off.

"Romel.. Maybe Travis can manage it.." Wow! Mom saved me again!

"Ah. Oo nga.." Dad chuckled. Napasapo ako sa ulo ko. Really?

Bumaba na kami sa baba para kumain ng dinner. Umupo ako sa usual kong inuupuan. My dad and mom were also on their places. Where's kuya?

"Sorry, late.." speaking of. I smiled at him. Kumunot naman ang noo niya sa reaksyon ko.

"What?" Kumunot ang noo niya at hindi pa nakakaupo. I laughed and shooked my head.

We prayed before eating. Kumuha na ako ng kanin at naglagay sa plato ko. I handed the rice to kuya and smiled. Kinuha ko na rin ang ulam at naglagay sa plato ko.

My phone beeped. Tumingin ako sa kanila bago buksan ang phone. It's Julia.

Julia:

Omg, bakla! I just saw a transferee sa school natin. He's gwapo!

I almost laughed when she texted me. What kind of news was that! Napalingon tuloy ako sa mga tao.

To Julia:

Sino raw?

My kuya tapped me and raised his brow. Ops. I closed my phone and brought it back in my pocket.

Napatingin kami nang nagsalita si Dad.

"I have some good news.."

Nagkatinginan kami ni kuya. What's that?

"Our company will have upgrade promotion. Gusto namin na makilala ng iba't ibang tao ang kompanya. So.. We think that we should have some magazine.." nagulat ako sa sinabi ni Dad. Did I just heard photoshoot?

"This week mangyayari ang photo shoot. The model will present our product. And do you know who's going to model it?" Napatingin si Dad kay mom, sa akin, at kay kuya.

"Who?" My kuya asked.

"Of course your sister, Rylee." My eyes widened about what he said. Ano? Ako raw? Tama ba ang dinig ko?

"Oh my goodness.. Really, Dad?! Is this serious?" Sobrang laki na ng ngiti ko dahil sa nalaman. I even hugged my dad for the news. I'm excited!
