WL #3: Elinor Grace Walter (COMPLETED)

Chapter 22

Elinor's POV:

Today is a very busy day at the mansion because today is Mama's birthday.

Inaayusan na ako ngayon at napangiti ako habang nakatingin sa salamin dahil sobrang excited na'ko na mahawakan ang mga anak ko.

"Ganda talaga!" Sabi ni Tina ng makita niya ako.

"Huwag ako ang atupagin mo ang intindihin mo ay 'yung performance mo mamaya sa birthday ni Mama." Sabi ko at napakamot naman siya sa batok at natawa ako.

"Ano ba 'yan si Ate kinakabahan nanaman tuloy ako nakalimutan ko na nga eh." Sabi niya.

"Bakit ka naman kinakabahan?" Sambit ko.

"Kasi baka... hindi magustuhan nila mama 'yung performance ko." Sabi niya at hinawakan ko naman ang kamay niya at ngumiti.

"Huwag mong isipin 'yan at para namang hindi mo kilala sila Mama. At kahit naman hindi magustuhan nila Mama ay nandito ako at tatandaan mo na palagi akong proud sa'yo at ako ang number one fan mo." Sabi ko at napangiti naman siya.

"Salamat, Ate." Sabi niya.

"Palagi mong tatandaan na nandito lagi si Ate para sa'yo." Sabi ko.

"Kaya mo 'yan! Ikaw pa! Gawin mong concert ang birthday ni Mama." Biro ko at natawa siya.

"Ate! Ate! Tignan mo ang ganda ng dress ko!" Biglang dumating si Akiesha at umikot pa para ipakita ang dress niya at napangiti naman ako.

"Ang ganda naman ng Akiesha ko." Sabi ko at napangiti naman siya.

Hinawakan niya ang tiyan ko at nilapit ang mukha niya dito. "Excited na'ko makita sila... gusto ko na sila makalaro!" Sabi niya at napangiti naman ako.

I'm wearing a black long dress and my hair is curled and kitang-kita ang tiyan ko pero okay na'to. Proud ako 'no syempre bata kaya ang nabubuo sa loob ko.

"Gandang buntis naman niyan!" Sabi ni Jessa ng makita niya ako.

"Mana sa'kin!" Sabi ni Mama at natawa naman kami.

We arrived at the venue in a limousine and when we entered inside my mouth formed into an "o" because of how beautiful it is inside.

Umupo na kami sa table namin at madami pang dumating na mga bisita pero sa pagkain nakatuon ang atensyon ko.

Mamaya na nga, mukhang bawal pa kumuha.

Nag-start na ang event pero madami pa din dumadating ang dami naman nilang inimbita ilang baranggay ata 'to at may mga kilala din naman ako pero wala akong energy na kausapin sila o batiin at tinatamad din akong tumayo at kung gusto nila ako kausapin lapitan nila ako.

"Wait lang, puntahan ko lang 'yung isang bisita." Sabi ni Jessa at parang diniinan niya ang pagsabi ng bisita.

Bumalik sa upuan sa tabi ko si Tina at pagka lingon ko sakanya ay may kung anong meaning ang ngiti niya saakin.

Pero wala akong pake ang gusto ko ay 'yung pagkain. Mas lalo lang ako nagugutom kapag pinag tutuonan ko sila Tina ng pansin dahil mang-aasar nanaman sila.

"Nandito na sila Brynn at sabi ko na dito lang ang table natin at sabi ko din na nakaupo ka dito ayaw pa nga maniwala eh akala siguro nila trippings ako." Sabi ni Tina.

"Elinor!" Rinig kong sigaw ni Braelynn kaya napa-lingon ako at nagulat sila ng makita ako.

Bago sila makalapit ay tumayo si Tina. "Guys, bago kayo lumapit babala muna kapag may sakit kayo sa puso at baka magulat ka 'wag ka muna lumapit." Sabi ni Tina at napasapo ako.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" I heard Darcy said.

"Yeah, I don't understand." Brynn said.

"Ay! Nakaka nosebleed. Sige na nga lumapit na kayo nauubusan na ako ng english." Sabi ni Tina at umalis.

Their eyes widened when they saw my belly and I laughed at their reactions and I put my index finger in my lips to signal them to be quiet.

"Oh my gosh! I told you! Ikaw na talaga ang sunod!" Sabi ni Braelynn at dali-daling umupo sa tabi ko.

"Your belly looks a bit huge for just one baby." Brynn said and I laughed.

"It's big because it has three babies inside." I said and I laughed again at their reactions they look so surprised.

"What the fudge?!" Brynn exclaimed.

"Now I need to sit down." Sabi ni Darcy at umupo din.

"We should've listened to Valentina's warning earlier." Braelynn said.

"Ginamit mo 'yung tricks ni Annette ah." Sabi ni Brynn at natawa naman kami.

"Ilang buwan lang ako nawala at si Annette mag ta-tatlong taon na!" Sabi ko at umiling.

"Speaking of Annette, Amadeus is here." Darcy said.

"I don't give a fuck." Sabi ni Brynn.

"Hello! It's been a long time." Napalingon kami at sabay-sabay naming binati si Frances na kapatid ni Annette.

She looked at me and her jaw dropped. "Oh my gosh... congratulations!" Sabi ni Maeve at bumeso saakin.

"By the way, do you guys have any ideas why Amadeus keeps staring at me?." She said and we shrugged.

"Is it because I look a lot like Annette?" She said and we frowned.

"Come on guys, you don't have to pretend to not know anything." Maeve said and we nodded.

"You look a lot like Annette and I think that's why he's looking at you. He can see Annette in you." I said.

"I think he misses Annette." Brae said.

"Well, we all miss Annette." Maeve said and we sighed.

"Good evening, Kuya Ernest." I greeted Darcy's older brother.

"Good evening." He smiled at us.

"Why are you all here?" Ate Colette said and beside her is her husband. They're Annette's older sisters.

"I don't know. I just wanted to sit here it looks fun." Kuya Ernest said and Ate Frances shook her head and chuckled.

"Don't ever let Dionne near here she's driving me nuts these days." Maeve said.

"Same, she's giving me headaches. She's more worst than Annette." Frances said and I chuckled.

"Ate! Kuya Zephyr is looking for you." Viola suddenly went to our table.

"Same with Kuya Leander. Cassius is crying." Rya said.

"Why is he crying?" I heard Brynn said.

"I don't know!" Rya said.

"Miss nanaman ako ng asawa ko." I heard Brae said.

"Ano ba 'yan, Ate. Hanggang dito ba naman." Sabi ni Viola.
