Unsuccessful Landing II: To Crash on His Arms (COMPLETE)

𝓚𝓪𝓫𝓪𝓷𝓪𝓽𝓪 20

Dumating ang araw ng Prom. The event will start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, until 8 o'clock in the evening. Pero ang mga Senior High Students ay pwedeng manatili hanggang 11 o'clock. But those rules are for 18 and above Senior High Students since minors can't stay that late.

The Prom will be held in a hotel owned by one of the owners of the school. Halos sponsored ang lahat ng kailangan sa event katulad ng pagkain, lugar, at ang magiging prices mamaya sa  coronation. The only thing we paid for is the optional additional facilities we might use in the hotel, like their rooms or any food we want that is not on our menu.

Senior high students ang karamihan nag-acquire nung additional facilities dahil balak ng marami na manatili hanggang dulo ng event. Hindi ako kasali sa nagbayad pero nag-sponsor sila Mama sa buffet. I don't know how much 'cause they won't tell me.

"I want it to be simple, Tita Clara. Bata pa si Maxine at ayokong masyadong magbago ang itsura niya. Don't make it too mature, please."

"Of course! Simula pa lang alam ko na kung anong bagay na ayos sa prinsesang ito! You're so pretty, Mija! Ilang taon ka na ulit?"

"Sixteen po..." Nahihiyang ngumiti ako.

In fact, I just turned Sixteen.

"And you're already this tall?!" Suminghap siya at pumitik. "Mana sa Mommy! I remember you're this tall when you're at her age, Katalia! I was at your Sixteenth Birthday!"

Medyo napawi ang ngiti ko. I look at Mama's reflection, expecting changes in her expression...but her smile never falters. In fact, it grew wider and she looked delighted at what she heard.

"Of course, Tita! Kanino pa ba magmamana ang anak kong 'to?" Mama lean down to kiss my cheek tenderly.

Naramdaman ko ang init at kirot sa dibdib ko. Pinaghalong sakit at saya ang nararamdaman ko. I bit my lip to stop myself from crying, but I'm already teared eye. I can see Mama looking at me lovingly from the mirror. I know she can see the pain in my eyes.

"I love you, my daughter." She whispered as she kissed my head.

Just like that, the pain is gone. Bumalik ang kislap sa mga mata ko. Mama chuckled and brushed my hair gently. She really knows how to soothe my aching heart.

"I love you, Mama."

"Nakaka-inggit naman ang mag-inang 'to!"

Saka ko lang napansin ang stylist at designer na nanonood pala sa amin ni Mama. They're smiling at us. Para silang nanonood ng movie sa estado nilang nasa gilid at magkatabi.

"Inggit ka? Mag-anak ka na din kasi!"

"Gusto ko pero ayoko sa kapwa ko babae!" Ngumiwi si Tita Clara. His real name is Clavio, and he's a woman in heart.

"Sira! Hindi ka magkaka-anak ng walang babae!"

Natawa nalang kami ng magsimulang mag-asaran si Tita Clara at Tita Danny. Like Tita Clara, his heart is also of a woman. Si Tita Daniel, our family designer.

Naaliw ako sa kanilang dalawa habang inaayusan nila ako. They're so close. Nalaman ko kay Mama na may partnered business pala sila. They only became close when Tito Draco hired them for their wedding. Nagustuhan sila ng pamilya kaya ginawa silang personal stylist at designer. Then from that, they built their names and soon, their business. Which is related to their field of expertise; clothes, hair, and make up.

I haven't seen my gown still. But it's already here with us, just on the closet. Nandito na kami malapit sa venue. Sa hotel na pagmamay-ari ni Grandaddy, five minutes from the venue. Nasa kabilang room lang si Louisa, na ginawang plus one si Gino bilang escort niya. Bawal ang outsider pero nagawa niya talagang ipasok ang nobyo.
