The Way You Look At Me (VA Series 2)

First

Joerish

"Ang pangit! Ayoko niyan!"

I sighed as I look on the designs that my Mom's designer is offering me. It's not that I am a picky person but duh! Birthday ni Dad bukas and for sure, maraming personalities ang darating.

His business partners would be there for sure. My Mom's friends will also be there and I am expecting to bring their kids with them. For sure, maraming gwapo bukas na baka kaedaran ko lang.

Kuya's friends would also be present.

Some of those are famous celebrities or well-known models kaya ayaw ko lang magmukhang maganda lang.

I want to look fabulous.

I want to look great.

"Eh hija, kung ito nalang kaya. Bagay naman sayo ah." The designer offered me a cocktail dress that fits my body.

It was also an off-shoulder dress na medyo revealling ang dibdib. Pinili ko na rin dahil light pink naman ang kulay niya.

My favorite! Omg!

"Okay! I'll fit it first but I think I love it na." Sinukat ko sa fitting room. Napangiti ako nang makitang bagay na bagay sa akin ang dress na ito.

Lumabas ako at kita ko ang pagngiti ng designer. Maybe he was relieved kasi sa wakas hindi na maii-stress ang buhay niya. Pinagbigyan ko nalang din baka kasi pagod na siya.

But it really suits me!

Bagay na bagay sa akin!

Lalo akong gumanda.

"Oh see, you look beautiful." Sabi ng designer.

"Matagal na po. Nothing's new." Sabi ko kaya tumawa naman siya.

"Sweetheart, nakapili ka na ba ng damit?" Tanong sa akin ni Mama na kanina pa din pumipili.

Humarap naman ako sa kanya and I smiled. Ngumiti din naman siya at mukhang nagustuhan ang pinili kong damit. She was really so lucky for having such a beautiful daughter.

Sabi nga niya, I can join Miss Universe but sadly my height doesn't qualifies me to become one.

Bakit ba kasi kinulang ako ng tangkad?

Maybe, I was so asleep back then when God showered the world with height!

"How do I look Mom?"

"Of course you are beautiful, sweetheart. But have you forgotten that we should wear gold because it's the 50th birthday celebration of you dad?" Mom said.

"Madam, bagay naman po kay Rish ang light pink. Why don't you try to reconsider it? Look oh, she is stunning." The designer said.

Now I really sensed na napagod ko siya dahil siya mismo ang umaalma kay Mom. Poor designer, his life became difficult because of me.

I just hope that he won't question his self-worth because he is amazing...

I shrugged with what I am thinking. As if naman talaga ganyan ang scenario! I am really OA pag minsan talaga!

"But Mom, gold doesn't suit my skin complexion. Dad will understand if I'll just wear this."

"Tss. Ang spoiled mo talaga Rish." Sumabat nanaman ang magaling kong Kuya.
