Skates in the Ice Rink

Prologue

"Doktora Navarro! Glad you came!" Mrs. Santiago smiled and hugged me.

I hugged her back, "It's an honor to be invited, dear cousin!"

She pats my back and showed me the way to the reception.

"You can seat wherever you like ok? Don't be shy to approach me when you need anything." She reminded me, "I'll be going back ha? Call me if you need anything!"

I chuckled, "Thank you, Doktora Santiago! Please, I can handle myself."

"Ok! Ok! I'll be back!" She laughed and waved her hand before leaving.

I roamed my eyes at the reception and it was breathtaking.

The theme is Harry Potter.

The venue was full of magic.

Cloaks, wands, not understandable words and spells on the walls, and are those candles that are floating?

I occupied a seat at one of the round table near the stage.

I'm in the side that says 'Gryffindor'.

For an 18th birthday this is bonggacious.

They said I should wear according to the colors written in the invitation.

It was red, green, yellow and blue.

I wore an adriana bloody red satin dress that is above my knee, and a pair of black stilletos.

I let my short ombre hair down and put it at the back of my shoulders.

Slowly, the reception got full and it is time for the event.

"The daughter of Doc and Doktora Dylan and Denisse Santiago, The sorceress of the house of Slytherin, our celebrant for today, the one and only, Ms. Darian Elizabeth Santiago!"

I stood up and clapped my hands.

She so elegant while going down the grand staircase.

Everyone cheered especially Darian's friends.

Yes, I attended a debut of an 18 year old.

I can't blame her, she's my god child and I love her.

Especially spoiling her.

The event started smooth.

From the 18 candles, and gifts everything was precious and sweet.

Until the eighteen blue bills came.

I was part of the list.

We lined up and get ready to give our gift and greet her.

When it's my turn to greet, her smile automatically widened.

They gave me the mic and I gracefully stand at the platform.

"Liz, my favorite god child, happiest birthday." I smiled at her.

"You know I love you, yeah? You're the first apo of the Navarro's! I mean, look at you! Stunning and gorgeous since you were born, just like your Tita Mommy." I winked at her and laughed.

I heard the crowd chuckled.

"My dear, I wish you have the all the happiness that life brings you, that's all that could make me happy." I immediately looked at the ceiling and fanned my eyes using my hands, "Gosh you're making me cry!"

She laughed and wiped her tears also.

"Happy Birthday, Liz. I'm always by your side." I was about to approach her when she ran into me and hugged me.
