Dream Come True

14

"Come here, princess."

Minsan lang nila akong tawaging 'princess'. Kapag madaming tao.

Naglakad ako palapit kina Mommy at Daddy. Nasa harap na ako ngayon ng mga bisita. They're looking at me.

"This is our daughter, Shakiara Bella Villaruel." people clapped their hands and smiling.

I smiled.

Fake. It was all fake.

"And this is Mr. and Mrs. Ford's son..." my dad paused and look at the guy.

"Kyle Spade Ford" he is now beside me.

Kyle? Sped? Ano daw?

"The dinner is ready. Eat all you can." my mother smiled and gestured us to follow them.

Nakasunod lang ako sakanila, my brother is also with them. Pero nagpahuli ako sa paglalakad.

Sped is here, beside me. Weird naman ng pangalan.

Wala ba siyang balak bilisan yung paglalakad niya? Ayaw ko ng may kasabay, ayaw ko siyang kasabay.

Binilisan ko na lang ang paglalakad ko hanggang sa makarating kami sa family table namin. Kasama parin namin dito ang Ford's Family.

Family table nga diba? Bakit nakikiupo pa dito? Dami-daming lamesa dito.

I rolled my eyes with irritation. Kung andito lang si Kara edi sana may pinaglalabasan ako ng sama ng loob dito.

Bakit ba hindi siya pinasama ni Mommy? Ugh.

They're talking about their business. At napapairap na lang ako dahil wala akong maintindihan.

Taga-model lang ako dito hindi ko alam kung paano patakbuhin yung company na yon, ugh. Lalo akong naiirita kasi katabi ko yung Sped sa upuan.

Hindi niya ba napapansin na ayaw ko siyang makasama o makatabi manlang? Why he is still keeping quiet?

May dila kaya 'to?

Hindi ko naman sinasadyang mapatingin sakanya, pero ngayon ko lang siya nakita sa malapitan.

He looks so perfect. Those hair, looks so gorgeous. The forehead down to his eyebrows, looks so sexy. His eyelashes, it is long and his brown eyes, fits him so much. His pointed nose, looks cute with him. I want to pinch it. And his... his lips...

Napatigil ako sa pagddescribe sakanya ng bumaling yung mga mata niya sakin.

He raised his left eyebrow, asking if I have a problem.

"H--ha? Not---nothing." agad akong napainom sa tubig na kanina ko pa pala hawak.

Basang basa tuloy yung kamay ko, I wiped it using table napkin.

"Uh..." I cleared my throat to get their attention. "Please, excuse myself. I want to catch some fresh air. If you let me?" I asked.

Hindi ko ata kayang tagalan si Sped na kasama. We're inhaling the same air.

"Sure, hija." Mommy said, I smiled at them and stand up and about to step, pero may sinabi si Mommy na nakapagpatigil sakin.

"Bring Kyle, with you. So you could both have time together." I don't know if it's her suggestion or an order.

"No, thanks. I can handle myself. Excuse me." umalis na din ako pagkasabi ko 'non para hindi na makapalag pa si Mommy.

Umalis nga ako para di ko makasama yung lalakeng yon tapos ipapasama nila sakin?
