"Bonjour magnifique!" Someone immediately greeted as I walked in the entrance of crystal clear door, I looked at him from head to toe, as usual he has headphones around his neck, "Tu me manques!" He is smiling wide and welcomed me with open arms.
I smiled back as I let him kiss my cheeks, "Bonjour, moche.." pang-aasar ako, nawala ang kanyang ngiti dahil sa pagtawag ko sakanyang pangit. "Kidding!" I giggled, "You're here at Titas mansion again? What are you doing here?" We started walking at the marbles passage.
"I heard you're coming so I came to welcome you." I looked around to see the golden walls and beautiful ceilings with big chandaliers, the wall has different paintings from popular artists. The place didn't changed that much but it's looks new, they renovate this every three years.
"Menteur!" (Liar), sabay kaming napalingon sa nagsalita, "Suga's living here, his parents kick him out." Napangiti ako ng makita sya, agad akong tumakbo upang yumakap, "Oh darling, I miss you too. You look gorgeous!"
"Tita Eliecie, you haven't changed since the last time I saw you!" I giggled, she just shrugged, "Well, we met two years ago but you really haven't age." We arrived at the living room, from the carpets, vases, couch and tables, it is all made of golds, due to wide area you can almost play golfing.
"That's my charm, how are you? I heard you're starting adulthood." The servants are lining up in the hall way to kitchen, they bowed the moment we walked by them,
"Im so stress tita." Napabuntong-hininga ako, nang maupo kami sa dining area ay inabutan agad kami ng menu, "You're still living your best life huh, still perfectionist. You manage to stay in your crystal mansion alone." I utter nodding while browsing the menu.
"That's why I'm here to accompany our beautiful Tita Eliecie," natatawang ika ni Suga, "She doesn't have plans about getting married, she just want to live happily with her dogs."
"Don't worry about me, I have servants so I dont need men, and Zenica," binalingan niya ako, "This mansion won't be empty, when your cousins are kicked out from their homes they're welcome here. Look at Suga, he's living here for a year already, Zairic just left month ago and next month, Psalm planned to leave their home to live here."
"Woah, Is this charity home?" Mahina akong natawa, "But Tita, you don't really want to get married? You still need a daughter or son, my cousins won't stay here forever." Binigay ko na ang sa katulong ang gusto kong kainin. Tita Eliecie is on her 37's, she's multi-millionaire, flawless and single.
"Exactly what I keep telling her." Suga agreed, "We keep setting her for blind dates but she has attitude and keep looking for men that doesn't exist."
Inirapan sya ni Tita, "Fictional characters are better." Nagsimula ng maghain ng pagkain ang mga kasambahay, amoy na amoy ko ang bango nito at umuusok pa, they have personal chiefs that's why it's a high quality meal, "I don't know either, I just want to live alone and creating my own family never crosses my mind. How about you Zen, you have a boyfriend or someone you want to marry?"
"Of course she have, I heard it's Tuecer Rhodes!" Pagdadaldal ni Suga, napalunok ako bago humigop ng juice.
"How did you know that?" Nagtataka kong tanong, he haven't been in the Philippines.
"I accidentally read some in websites," he shrugged, "You really love him or it's just for publicity attention? Business relationship? Fubu? or --" sinamaan ko sya ng tingin, napatikom sya sakanyang bibig at kumain nalang ng tahimik.
"Whatever your relationship status is, Zenica. Make sure you're happy with it." I just agreed with Tita Eliecie.
We talked the entire dining time, she just share her experiences with vacation in different places while I shared mine too, despites of our age gap our bond didn't need adjustments, Tita Eliecie is my closest aunt, well, all of us, my entire cousins really like her, she's open for our personal problems, she can be an aunt and a bestfriend. Kaya't mas gugustuhin pa nga ng ibang pinsan kong tumira sa pamamahay niya, she have no rules, she let us enjoy our lives. I know she will be a great mother but I have no idea she doesn't want to get married or even want a child.
