Chapter 3

Engagement

"Be ready for your party" My father said.

I rolled my eyes, I don't like these kinds of parties. Nagmumukha na kasi siyang business party dahil halos nga business man lang ang bisita.

I was informed earlier at the airport that they're organizing a party for me, welcome back party? Petty.

"Do we really have to do that?" I asked, annoyed.

"You already agreed with this, Cassiopeia" I just sighed and nodded even though he couldn't see it.

"Alright" Pagkatapos ay pinatay ko na ang tawag.

"You're bad trip again?" I glared at Coen when he pinched my cheeks. He chuckled.

"Shut it off" I rolled my eyes at him.

We're now here at tagaytay. May binook din na hotel si Coen sa may Makati at sinamahan niya lang ako dito para macheck ang condo na bibilhin ko.

"I can go alone na, Coen. I have to go to Athena's condo." I informed him while sending a message to my best friend.

"I can send you there, you don't have car here." He insisted.

"May taxi, may grab, I can handle myself" Pero hinila niya lang ako papunta sa may kanto at pumara ng bus.

"I have no car here too, so let's ride this together." Umirap na lang ako at umayos ng upo sa bus, tumabi naman siya sa akin agad at sinabi sa kondoktor kung saan kami pupunta.

"How did you know?" I asked him. Paano niya nalaman ang condo ng kaibigan ko?!

"Oh, sorry I accidentally read it" He smirked. Nanlaki ang mata ko at hinampas ang balikat niya.

Habang nasa byahe ay minessage ko rin si Estella about the party. I want her there. Alam ko naman na siya rin an isasama ni Sky pero maganda na yung ako mismo ang magimbita sa kanya 'no! Knowing her, alam kong tatanggi yun! I even ordered a dress for her!

"I'll go now, you can always go to me, babe" Hinalikan ni Coen ang pisngi ko. Papunta na siya sa hotel kung saan siya mag che-check in. Nandito naman na ako sa lobby ng condo ni Athena. I already texted her and she's going na daw.

"Dike!" Parang may nabuhay sa loob ko when I heard that voice! I turned around and see the elegant Athena Mendez, going straight to me! She was just wearing a oversized hoodie and maong short, yet she's stunning! God, bakit ang ganda namin?!

"Babe!" I ran as fast as I could, and embraced her tight. She chuckled and hugged me back.

"Omygod, omygod! I fucking missed you!" I exclaimed and hug her more.

"Missed you too! Let's go, people are looking at us" She whispered.

Tumingin ako sa paligid at nakatingin na nga ang mga tao pero paki ba nila?! I just secretly rolled my eyes, but Athena smacked my shoulder.

"Tara na nga!" She chuckled and I just tangled my arms on hers.

May kinausap siyang staff at pinadala ang mga luggage ko. It's 5! Ang iba ay iniwan ko na sa tagaytay kaya Lima na lang ito. Baka kasi magtaka ang parents ko kapag nakita nilang wala akong dalang maleta kaya naman hindi ko iniwan lahat sa tagaytay.

"Your unit is big!" I commended while roaming around her condo unit.

I'll stay here for tonight! We have so many things to catch up! I was still looking at her unit and God! The paintings are crazy!
