Celestaire's POV

I WOKE UP EXACTLY seven in the morning. I smiled as I fix my bed and get ready. I wore a white polo and black pants. I can feel this week, won't be that busy like last week. It was so tiring and stressful.

Gosh, I delivered two debut gowns from Manila to Quezon. Well, hindi naman labag sa loob ko kasi nakiusap ako ng ina ng debutant sakin. They can't pick it up, so I delivered it for them. I even forgot about my other costumer and hurried back.

Pati sa pagtahi ng wedding gown ng isang costumer ko noong tuesday, hindi ako natulog ng tatlong araw dahil friday na ang kasal. Biglaan din daw ang kasal, naunawaan ko naman sila. I had fun actually, because I made their big days special.

I'm working at Blaine's boutique. Blaine is Blaze's younger sister. Habang nag-aaral ng kolehiyo ay nakilala ko si Blaine at mommy nila si Tita Juliet. They were so nice, kaya we clicked already. Nakita nila designs ko at sila na mismo nagsabi na sa kanila na lang ako magtrabaho. I wasn't hesitant because it was a big opportunity, I always buy clothes from their brand so I said yes.

I don't want my own business, because I know it will be so stressful and tiring. After graduation, masaya ang mga unang araw ko sa boutique nila sa Pasay. Doon ako naka-locate na branch. Mas malapit din sa bahay dahil less than an hour makakarating na doon.

I took my bag and keys and opened the door. Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at sinara ang pintuan. I went down the stairs and went to the garden to eat breakfast. I saw my parents. I smiled at my mom and kissed her cheek.

"Good morning, anak." She greeted me.

"Good morning, mommy." Bati ko.

"Good morning, anak." Dad said

I just glanced at him and looked at my mom, again. Hindi ko talaga siya pinansin at naupo na lang. I'm still mad at him. For ten years, hindi ko siya pinapansin. I hate him for what happened. I blame him for everything.

Ten years had passed, since lola and ate left us. I'm still sad about it. The pain is still here tho. Walang araw hindi ko naisip ang mga nangyari noon. If I didn't asked kuya to come with me to buy some snacks, hindi sana mangyayari yun.

Nawala ang kakambal ko, ang ate ko na laging nandiyan para sakin. She did everything for me. She saved me and kuya from danger. She experienced everything we didn't. I salute her for being brave and strong. I miss her so much. Pati si lola, miss na miss ko na din. I miss the bonding and fun times we did. Kung alam ko lang huli na yun, I should have focused on them.

"Good morning." Kuya kissed my forehead.

Nagulat ako napatingin dito. I didn't know, he was home. He was at Nueva Ecija for a business meeting. My kuya inherited our family's business. Siya na ang nagpapatakbo, dahil matanda na rin mga magulang namin. Kahit galit kami kay daddy, ginusto parin namin na magpahinga at magrelax na lang sila ni mommy.

"I didn't know you were home." I said.

He smiled. "I can't stay there for too long. I'll miss you." Sabi niya.

I smirked. "Ako or fiancee mo?"

"Both"

We both chuckled. Kuya is engaged to Valerie now. Finally, after a year of being scared that she might say no. He proposed exactly at their anniversary dinner. I was happy for them, and Valerie is gonna be my sister-in-law.

Nang malaman nila Hetta ay agad sila nag-book ng flight back to the Philippines. Nandoon sila dahil doon niya pinanganak ang anak nila ni Jasper. They got married two years ago, same with Alysha and Daniel na last year nagpakasal. I was so happy for all of them, lalo na malaman kong babae ang mga anak nila.
