WINTER'S POINT OF VIEW

When I reached my destination which is the first floor of our mansion ay binabati kaagad ako ng mga nadadaanan kong bisita (which are invited by dad, but I don't even know them. Probably business partners. Tsk.) while I am walking to the center.

Dad satrted the program. "Good evening everyone! I like to say "thank you" for attending my daughter's 17th birthday. I hope you would enjoy the party." Dad stopped a little while he walked to my direction. Dad continued. "This is Winter Jin Schneider. My precious daughter and also rhe celebrant." He smiled at me genuinely.

He passed me the microphone, but Instead of saying a word, I just gave them a rough smile. I know that I'm being a brat, but why waste my saliva for saying a word to the people that I mostly don't know.

I heard that the guests clappedtheir hand when I refused to say a word. Good people.

"Winter anak, can you come with me? I want you to meet someone." Paanyaya ni daddy. Curiosity strikes me right now. Dad's words also made me a bit excited.

Tumango na lamang ako kay daddy bilang sagot. I also want to come and meet that "someone" because I find this party boring and Flinn and Lauren are also both out of my sight.

I followed dad and he stopped when j
he reached our garden. I roam around my gaze and see no one. I turned my gaze to dad with a clueless look plastered on my face. "What are we doing here dad? Who is this someone that you want me to meet? Is this a surprise?" Sunod-sunod kong tanong.

I saw him tapped the space beside him.I followed as what he instructed me to do and I sat beside him, but still I have this clueless look. He just shrugged his shoulders as he put blindfold on my eyes. Is this even necessary? My blood is boiling right now. What I hate the most is that the people will not answer my question and especially, I also hate waiting. If this isn't dad, I would have not followed.

All I can see now is dark.

It also take about 10 minutes before dad removed my blindfold. I saw a back of a man na mukhang pinipilit pang paharapin ng mga magulang niya. So childish. The man sighed before he turned to me.

My blood boiled to the highest level when I saw his face. "YOU AGAIN?!" Magkapanabay naming wika. The asshole's parents and my dad seems surprised. Yes, you've heard it right- asshole! Because the man that is on my front is also the man that made me frustated and gave his money to me when we bumped into each other at the mall this morning.

Dad took a glance at me and to the asshole. "You know each other?" Tanong ni daddy ng maka-recover matapos magulat. I nodded but the asshole didn't respond.

"Of course dad. He was the asshole that I bumped into this morning! He also gave me his money that I don't even need!" I screamed that made the asshole frowned at me.

"Oh! Who are you referring when you said asshole? Is it me?" He said and I nodded while trying to calm myself. "Wow! You will call me an asshole just because I gave you my money that you don't even need? You are unbelievable." He said while clapping his hand.

"Mr. Schneider, looks like the engagement will be hard for both of them." The mother of this asshole whispered to my dad, ngunit hindi iyon nakatakas sa pandinig ko.

"What?! Engagement?!" Bulalas ko. I look at the asshole but he seemed not surprised. Oh. So ako nalang pala ang hindi nakakaalam. Tsk.
