Party

S C A R L E T

"Bahay niyo 'to?!" Sabay-sabay nilang sabi pagkalabas nila ng kotse.

"Welcome to our humble home. Please be comfortable around here." Sabi ni Dad sa kanila.

"Yes Mister Zamora." Sabay pa rin nilang sabi.

"Tito. Call me Tito Terrence. You're all friends of my daughter after all." Sabi niya sa kanila at nilingon ni si Van.

Oh no. Don't you dare say something Dad.

"But you can call me Dad." He winked at him.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Van at kitang-kita ang pamumula ng kanyang mga tainga. Tumingin siya sa ibang direksyon ng dahil sa kanyang narinig. All I did was to hide my head from embarassment.

Naghiyawan yung mga kasama namin. "Approved na Van! HAHAHAHA!" Pang-aasar sa kanya ng kanyang mga kagrupo.

"Dad." I warned him pero nginitian niya lang ako.

"I'll be leaving all of you hear. I'm going to prepare for tonight's party, feel at home everyone!" He bid his goodbyes to us.

"Ibang klase talaga yung Dad mo Scarlet!" Tumatawang sabi ni Aiden.

"He's the cooler version of you... Oops!" Sabi ni Diane at binelatan niya ako.

I just rolled my eyes at her. "Pasok kayo."

I opened the door for them. We are all greeted by the maids. The warm presence of our house made them even more comfortable around our place.

"This place is so amazing!" Sabi ni Seven.

"Para naman kayong walang mga bahay." Sabi ko sa kanila.

Their reactions are priceless. Ano ba yung pinagkaiba ng bahay namin sa kanila? Knowing them, they are also rich.

"Yours is still different." Dale said.

Napatingin ako sa taong nasa tabi niya. Kanina pa siya tahimik ah. Pagkatapos niyang marinig ang sinabi ni Dad sa kanya kanina, parang wala na siya sa kanyang sarili.

"Ba't parang wala lang sayo ang mga ito Ben?" Diane asked.

"Mas malaki siguro bahay nila." Sabi naman ni Gerald.

Ben defended himself. "Hindi ah! It's just that, nakapunta na ako rito. Ganito rin yung reaction ko noon."

"HA?" All of them said. Nagising naman si Van sa kanyang mundo.

"Huh, ba't kayo sumigaw?" Tanong niya pero hindi siya pinansin. All of their attention ay nandoon kay Ben.

"When?" Tanong ni Andrew kay Ben.

"Both of us joined a math competition last year. Dito kami sa bahay nila nag-practice." Sabi ni Ben.

He's right. That was like the day before the actual competition. He and the other person that is part of our team came to my house and we prepared for the last time.
