Chapter 10 - What's with daddy?!
** Euniece's P.O.V. **
After ng klase ko, umuwi na ako sa'min. Pagdating ko ng bahay, nagpahinga lang ako saglit, actually, I took a nap. Nagising ako around 5:30 pm, hinubad ko na yong suot ko at nagtapis ng tuwalya. Maliligo na muna ako, may dinner date pa kasi kami ni daddy mayang 7 pm ee. Pagkatapos kong maligo, pinapasok ko na yong personal stylist ko, actually, dalawa sila. Yong isa, sa hair ko at yong isa naman, para sa make up ko. Tinatawag ko sila pag ganitong may ocassion or pag may small gatherings na medyu formal.
Sinuot ko yong black cocktail dress ko na hanggang taas tuhod ang haba saka nilagyan nila ng white ribbon sa beywang, parang hinapit sa beywang ko, basta ganun! hehe.. Pinasuot naman nila sa'kin yong high heeled sandal ko na combination of black and white. May dala rin akong purse na kulay white na may parang glitters pa sa gilid.
"Viola!" sigaw ni July, yong hairstylist kong bading. "Ang galing natin, mare! At dahil dyan, gimme high five!" nakipag-apir naman sya kay Lallie, ang best friend din nyang bading na make-up artist ko naman. "Salamat talaga sainyo, ha?" I smiled at him. "Sus! Ikaw pa, tsaka, anlaki din ng sweldu namin kaya dapat lang na perfect ang creation namin noh." Lallie winked at me. "Pati, ang ganda mo na dear. Dinagdagan lang namin ng onti." dagdag naman ni July. I smiled at them.
Pagdating ko ng Celestia, andun na si daddy. I smiled at him, kahit mukhang haggard si daddy, ang cool nya pa rin tingnan. Lumapit ako sakanya and greeted him sabay halik sa pisngi nya saka umupo na rin sa tapat nya. Nag-order na kami ng food ni daddy, pagkaalis nung waiter ay agad naman akong nagsalita.
"How's your trip dad?" nagpa-iwan kasi sya nun nung bumalik ako dito galing America. "It's okay hija, nakakapagod nga lang." halata naman sa mukha ni daddy ee. "You know what dad? You should take a break, maaga kang tatanda nyan ee. Palagi kang subsob sa trabaho." I pouted pero tumawa lang si daddy. "Haynaku, hija. Wag mo nga akong pangaralan, tsaka natural na tumanda ako habang lumilipas ang panahon." ah sus! nagdadahilan pa.
"But, please re-consider dad. Kailangan mong alagaan ang sarili mo, you know that. Don't you?" tumango naman sa'kin si daddy. "I know hija, I know." nag smile naman ako. "Titingnan ko muna ang schedule ko saka ako magpa-planu kung kelan ko gagawin yang vacation na sinasabi mo." sakto namang dumating yong order namin kaya kumain na kami.
"Dad, hanggang kelan ang stay mo dito?" I asked while we're eating. "Hmm, let's say, about 3 days or less?" napatigil naman ako sa pagsubo, "That's too soon dad." I exclaimed. "Well, I have a lot of works left in states. I'm sorry hija, but you can come with me when I take my vacation." nag smile nalang ako and shrugged. "Thanks nalang dad, but much better kung si tita Claudette nalang po ang isama nyo." tumango-tango naman sya. "About that, malapit na ang engagement party namin hija. I hope you can come." whaaat?! "You mean, nakapag propose na kayo sakanya? Saan? Tsaka, kelan pa dad?" na-schock ako dun aa.
"Last month lang, may launching kasi sila dun para newest fashion line nila." ah, kaya naman pala. "Sure dad, sabihan nyo nalang po ako kung kelan." I tried to cheer up kahit medyu naaasar na ako. "Thanks hija." I nod and continued eating. "By the way, I have to tell you something." natapos na kaming kumain at dessert naman ang inihain nila sa'min.
"About what dad?" ansarap naman nito, baka mamaya nyan ee pumutok 'tong suot ko, hehe. "It's about your marriage." napatigil akong kumain saka tumungo. "What about that, dad?" naging awkward tuloy ang atmosphere.
"Until now, hindi pa rin sya nahahanap... His parents and I talked about it," he paused at inangat ko naman ang ulo ko and stared at him. "And we've decided that instead of him, kayo nalang ni Kenneth." ano daaaaw?! O___O "D-dad!" ghaaad! What are they trying to do? "Alam nyo ba yang sinasabi nyo? Giovanni is my husband or was, but kuya Ken is his brother. You can't expect me to do that."
