"Smile widely, mademoiselle," the make up artist said to me. 

Inunat ko ang pisngi ko para mailagay niya ng maayos ang blush on, nagsimula na rin siyang maglagay no'n. Nakatingin lamang ako sa salamin na nasa harap, para makita ang sariling repleksyon. 

"Where is Trina?" I asked the make up artist. 

"She's on the other room madame," she answered smiling. 

Tinanguan ko siya at nagpatuloy na rin siya sa pagme-make up sa akin, she did my eyeliner and mascara. Kulay pula naman ang nilagay niyang lipstick sa akin, then after that, she applied some silver highlighter in my upper cheeks. She asked to close my eyes for the final touch, she sprayed something on my face so my make up would last longer. 

Pagkatapos nun ay tiningnan ko na ang kabuuan ng mukha ko sa salamin, the hairstylist make my hair into a french twist, with falling strands of hair on its side. Tumayo na ako at nagpunta sa dressing, kung saan nakalagay ang aking gown. Sinarado ko ang pintuan at hinubad ang aking robe, then I started wearing my silver lace plunging neckline gown. 

Then I wore a silver t-strap high heels, lumabas din ako ng dressing room para maglagay ng perfume. Nasa mismong resthouse na kami dito sa Lao Beach, this house looks like a mansion actually. I'm just curious why Auntie and Uncle won't live here? I mean para sa'kin, kung ako ang magkakaroon ng ganitong kaganda at payapang bahay, dito na lang ako maninirahan.

Umupo muna ako sa couch at nagtipa ng mensahe para kay Zed sa bagong cellphone ko.

Me:

Are you done? Visit me in my room.

I kind of feel bored because Trina is not here, tapos magkasama naman si Lyric at Zed. Naalala ko nanaman ang nangyaring kapalpakan sa transaksyon ni Lyric kahapon, hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin niya nasasabi kina Aunt Ruth ang tungkol doon. That news will stressed out them for sure, kaya mas mabuting h'wag munang ipaalam. 

May kumatok sa pintuan, binuksan naman iyon ng make up artist na kasama ko. Inabangan ko kung si Zed iyon, ngunit iniluwa ito ni Aunt Ruth at ni Uncle Paul. Aunt Ruth whispered something to the make up artist, that made her leave the room. They went to me with approaching smile, Aunt Ruth sat beside me while Uncle Paul remained standing in front of us.

"Hija..." bati ni Aunt Ruth, "...how are you feeling?" 

"I'm fine, thank you my majesty," I slightly bowed my head to her. 

"No. Don't call us in our royalty name," she shook her head.

"Okay..." sambit ko. 

"We just want to spend our time with you hija," Uncle Paul said.

I was touched at what he just said, here in front of me are my second parents. 

Aunt sighed and held the both of my hands, "Be honest hija, we just wanted to know. If there's a guy in your heart right now? Perhaps, Zed?" 

My mouth gaped at what she asked, tumingin ako kay Uncle na nagaabang ng sasabihin ko. Parehas na malamlam at pagod ang mga mata nilang nakatingin sa akin. Are they still resting?
