CHAPTER 47
MONTHSARY
"Wow..." I heard Naomi say as she stare at my blue shimmer ball gown.
"I know. It's magical!" I agreed. Even I got mesmerized when I first saw my Mom's creation.
"You are so freaking lucky. I, on the other hand, have to wear that black lace dress!" pagrereklamo ni Ava.
"What's wrong with that?" Iris asked. "It's your favorite color."
"Uh duh? It's so out-of-date. Very unstylish for a modern lady like me." She even crossed her arms and pouted. Natawa na lang kami dahil alam naman naming kahit makaluma ang design ng brand na ire-represent niya ay kaya niya namang dalhin iyon. She looks good on whatever she wears.
"Nasaan nga pala ang isusuot mo Iris?" I asked her. They're all here in my room, waiting for our hairstylists and make-up artists.
"May binago lang daw ng kaunti 'yung designer. Nakaka-stress nga kasi last minute changes."
"You should call them. It's supposed to be here by now." Tumango siya at agad kinuha ang phone niya.
The Elite committee invited a lot of famous brands to showcase their new collection for tonight's party, Senyor's Fashion For A Cause – A Benefit Red Carpet Show, and Charity Event.
One of them is the Cassy's and of course, as the daughter of the owner, they chose me to wear the company's most expensive gown.
"You don't seem that enthusiastic today," Tiffany pointed out as she sat beside me. I raised an eyebrow at her, pretending as if I'm clueless about what she was talking about, but as expected she rolled her eyes. "You're such a bad liar."
Natawa ako nang kaunti pero sumeryoso din. "You know how much I love participating in Senyor's game and having tonight as the last occasion before we wrapped up the Annual Elite game, makes me a little emotional."
"Ugh, I feel the same way! Honestly, it's bittersweet knowing that we're so close to the end but after everything that happened, I can fully say that this year's your best one."
"I agree! And with that gown, it's obvious that you're going to be the star of the night," pag-cheer up sa'kin ni Naomi.
"Hopefully you'll beat Zin this time," dagdag ni Ava.
"Speaking of Zin, ready ka na ba mamaya? Ito 'yung kauna-unahang event niyo as a couple. Kayo ang inaabangan ng lahat," Tiffany reminded me.
I took a deep breath and nodded. "Legal naman na kaming dalawa sa families namin and it's our first monthsary today. I don't think there will be a problem." I smiled. Ang bilis din ng panahon. It feels like it was just yesterday when I admitted my feelings for Zin. Tapos ngayon, isang buwan na agad kami.
"Anong gift mo kay Zin?" Tiffany asked me while she's taking selfie to update her social media accounts. Lahat kasi kami ay magmo-model mamaya ng mga gowns na ibinigay sa amin. Her fans are all thrilled to guess what brand she'll represent later kaya naman bigay ng bigay ng hints si Tiff mula pa kanina.
"Sarili ko," I joked around. "Aray! HAHAHA!" Bigla niya akong hinampas sa braso kaya natawa ako ng malakas.
"Ang landi!" pagsuway niya habang si Naomi naman ay nag-thumbs up pa.
