Makati City, Philippines

Bronze brought me to his car. For someone underage nagtataka talaga ako bakit nakakapagdrive na siya? But I didn't ask him anymore. Ni hindi nga niya ako sinasagot kahit ano sa mga tanong ko. Like kung saan kami pupunta at bakit niya ako sinasama.

He drove out the school gate papunta sa lugar na di ko alam. It was a 30 min drive dahil medyo natraffic kami sa daan. Yeah palagi kong nakakalimutan na nasa Pilipinas na nga kami.

We then stopped in front of big black metal gate, with high brick walls on the side. Ano nanamang lugar to?

Bronze then pressed the doorbell and told someone that he has arrived at automatic na bumukas ang gate. Very much high tech huh?

Bronze drove his car inside at bumungad sa harapan namin ang isang flower garden na mas maliit kaysa dun sa garden mansion nila sa England. But this is also wide. May mga metal tables din sa gitna kung saan pwede kang umupo at magpahinga.

He stopped his car in front of the main door. Inalis niya ang seatbelt nya at lumabas nang sasakyan, umikot at pinagbuksan rin ako ng pintuan. Where the heck are we?

I glanced at the unfamiliar place. It was big yet simple. It definitely looks like a common Filipino style Contemporary mansion.

Bronze assisted me inside, pinagmasdan ko lang ang paligid habang nakasunod sakanya. Unlike in England mas konti ata ang mga maids nila dito. I still don't know why Bronze brought me here at kung kanino mansion ito. But my curiosity killed me when I saw Autumn and Rein currently walked in from the kitchen looking at us with an awed expression.

"She's my friend Iva" pakilala sakin ni Bronze sa dalawa. "I brought her here para malaman niya ang location ng mansion para sa party next Sat" aniya.

The two just looked at us blankly but eventually smiled and greeted me. Medyo awkward ako dahil nagkakilala na kami dati but introducing myself again feels really chilly.

Umalis na yung dalawa paakyat sa second floor at si Bronze naman dinala ako sa likod ng mansion which is also a garden wider than the one in front.

"This is where the party will be held" he said pointing at the place. "Hindi ka na siguro maliligaw at magdadahilan na hindi mo alam ang venue no?" he laughed while looking at my pissed expression.

This is guy is really cunning. Akalain mong mas advance pa siya mag isip ng excuse kaysa sakin.

Tinitigan ko ang lugar. It was clean and spacious. The bermuda grass all over is indeed relaxing to look at. Sa di kalayuan meron isang malaking pool at mga iilang beach umbrellas na may tables and chairs.

"Everything will be set up soon. Kaya habang hindi pa busy dinala na kita dito" he looked at me with a sweet wide smile. Alam ko naman ang nasa isip ng isang to. He was surely planned all of this.

"Bakit mo ba talaga ako dinala dito? Why are you making me involve with you again?" I asked looking at him with a sharp gaze.

"You're really keen Ivanessa. But sorry to burst your bubble dear. Gusto lang talaga kitang maging kaibigan. So para mangyari yun you have to know me more and of course my family" he said still smiling. He is playing with me with his words but he knows that I'm not gonna buy them. Ano ba talagang plano ng lalakeng to?
