Ella's POV
Andito kami ni Mama sa family gathering ng lola ko daw. It's her 50th birthday. Hindi niya talaga ako sinasama sa mga ganitong events. Ewan ko kung bakit. Hindi kok alam kung ampon bako or what so ever pero impossible kase sobrang kamuka ko si Mommy. Pero pinilit ko siyang sumama ako. I saw her fixing her things at nung una,sabi niya,business matters pero napilit ko naman kaya sabi niya,family gathering. I was hurt a lot by Francis so I want to unwind. Malay mo diba?
So dumating kami dito ng mga 5:00 pm. The party is going to start and they all greeted me. Masasabi kong maganda nga ang lahi namin. My cousins are beautiful and handsome. And lahat,mababait. Ate Chie,is the eldest among us. Siya daw ang magho-host ng party.
"Are they going?" Mom asked to my Tito Mike. As far as I remember,that's his name. We sat on the round table.
"Yep. Ina wants us to be complete,Jean." Tumingin sakin si Tito at nginitian ako.
"Mom. Are you okay?" Tanong ko kay Mommy. Kanina pa siya paikot-ikot at meron nadin siyang kaunting pawis.
"Y-yes of course!" Sabi ni Mommy kaya di ko nalang sila pinansin.
"Tita! Can I have my cousin?" Tanong ni Kuya Igi. Kasama niya ang girlfriend niyang si Ate Kiray kanina kaso di ko alam kung nasan na siya.
"Go ahead,Igi! Enjoy!" Sabi ni Mommy at tumayo na kami.

"I also don't know kung bakit di ka dinadala ni Tita sa mga reunion dati. Kala ko panget ka eh! Joke! HAHAHAHAHA! Pero maiba tayo! What do you think of our cousins?"
Tumingin siya sa mga pinsan niyang nagse-selfie doon sa may poolside.
"I think they are kind. Pero nahihiya kase ako eh." Tumawa ako at tumingin ule kay kuya Igi.
"Nako! Feeling ko magiging close mo yan sila. Hindi ka naman siguro boyish type para kami nila Cj ang maka-close mo! HAHAAHHAHA! And nung isa ko pang pinsan. I mean natin."
"Oh really?! May pinsan pa tayo? Sa dami natin?" Nagulat ako. Ang dami na namin tas may hindi pa pala nagpapakita. WAHAHAHAHAH!
"Yap! They're going. I think you'll meet him later. Late lang yun as always." Sabi ni Kuya Igi at tinawag na kami sa event.

Crissmille Pesayco.
Currently in a relationship. Ia-add ko ba o hindi? Tch! Why I am so interested with Jairus' lovelife? Nakakaasar lang! Oo nga pala. Dad went back to US na. He had many things to do pa kase and he's managing our company there. Oh well,nasan naba si Mommy?
"MOMMY?! Where are you?" I shouted. No answer parin.
"SAGEEEEE!" Tawag ko dun sa bata. If you remember her? Siya yung nanggising nung first day ko.
"Yes ate?" She opened my door.
"Nage-gets mo ba ang word na privacy?" Pagtataray ko. Pamangkin siya ni mommy pero ewan ko,inampon niya. Basta something like that. Wala akong pake kase as long as hindi pa siya umeepal sa buhay ko.
"But you called me po." She said. Errr okay.
"Where's mommy?"
"I heard she's going to meet a business partner daw po. Dave or drake? I'm not sure of the name po ah."
Whut? Eh kailan lang nag-meet na sila ah. Grabe naman yan. Kinacareer na ata ni mommy ang merging of companies.
"Okay fine. Get out of my room."
