Cypress Academy

21. The mother is back!

21.

"Congrats!" Bati saakin ni, Kiara. Kakatapos ko lang maligo nang pumunta s'ya sa kuwarto ko.

"I'm sorry, hindi ko na tinapos 'yung pageant." Kiara said at umupo sa kama ko, lumapit naman ako sa kan'ya.

"It's okay, I understand." I smiled at her.

"Colyn, do you think I'm stupid?" I was shocked by her question.

"What? No. You're not stupid!" I rapidly answered.

"Of course you will said that. Alam ko naman na tanga ako." She chuckled. But her eyes is sad.

"Kiara, no! Don't think that! You are not stupid. Just....give, Ken, time. He will probably realized that you are the right person for him." I said. To lighten her mood.

"You know what? I was always there for him. I'm the one who was always there next to him so that somehow he would forget that he was broken hearted to you." Kiara chuckled, but her eyes don't lie from pain.

"But, yes. I am the one who always with him, but you are the one he always thinking about. I'm the one next to him, but he's looking at you. Isn't that stupid of mine?" She said. I don't know what to say.

"Kiara..."

"I'm okay." She said it plainly. "Don't worry about me, I'm used to it. Go ahead and rest. I just really came here to congratulate you." She added before she left my room.

I just sighed. I put my crown and trophy next to Daddy's picture. He is also the reason why I won.

"Hi, Daddy. Your daughter is now, Ms. Cypress 2019! I know you are proud of me because, I am no longer the old Colyn, who is weak and has no friends. I just wish you are here. I miss you so much, Daddy." That was the last thing I said before I went to sleep.

"Congrats colyn. I'm very sorry we didn't came because we were so busy with the company. But we need to celebrate it." Tita Ven, said, while we are eating breakfast.

It's somehow refreshing that we ate together this morning.

"Yeah. Invite your friends tonight, we will have a party to celebrate your victory." Tito Miguel, said.

"No need na po, tito, I understand naman po kung bakit hindi kayo nakapunta,"

"Yes, but we still need to celebrate it. Invite your friends tonight, we will go home before 10pm." Tito Miguel, said.

"Can I invite my friends too, Dad?" Kiara, said it cutely.

"Of course, but don't order alcohol, okay?"

Pumasok na sila tito and tita, tinext ko naman si, Myline na pumunta dito before 6pm at yayain nadin sila Vic, tinawagan ko rin si, Levi, at Ken. Pupunta naman silang lahat. Nag chat rin ako sa gc namin para iinvite 'yung mga classmate ko.

Pool party 'yung mangyayari, dahil malaki 'yung space dito. Si, Kiara 'yung umorder ng mga pagkain dahil s'ya 'yung magaling do'n, umorder rin s'ya ng wine, alcoholic free naman raw 'yon so okay lang.

"Prennyyyy!" Sigaw ni, Myline. Sabay sabay na pala silang pumunta dito. Myline is wearing a maroon U-back bralette with a flimsy long blazer and a high waist maong short.
