First Person Point of View.
"Wonderful! Ang ganda ganda mo na lalo mizzy!" Kinalat kalat ni Mama Diva ang buhok ko para lalo itong ma-volumized. Tatlong oras din ang itinagal ng balayage hair na ginawa niya.
The other stylists were also busy with manicures, pedicures, facials, makeup, spas, and more.
"Naku, si boylet mo matutuwa sa'yo kapag nakita ka." She was really into talking about Hugo because he finds my man attractive. Well, she said she has a partner already napopogian lang daw siya at mukha nga raw may gusto sa akin kung makatingin.
Tumawa lang ako at umiling. Hindi ko man sinasabi na boyfriend ko siya. Siguro nama'y halata iyon. Mama Diva assured me that she will not tell Auntie Esmeralda about what happened earlier.
After kong maiakyat sumubok akong bumaba, at nakasalubong ko si Mama Diva. Hindi ko nga alam in just a brief moment napansin niya agad ang tinginan namin.
Bumukas ang pinto, at inilabas non si Auntie Esmeralda with Manang Editha. Pinatawag kasi niya si Auntie para makita ang gawa niya.
"She looks perfect, Mama Diva! Thank you!" Auntie Esmeralda hugged her.
Tumawa ito nang malakas, at pinalakpakan ang sarili. "Small things, Madame! It will be better if I bring her to our finest boutique in the whole country, but since this is your personal request, who am I to object."
"I'm glad you understand, Mama Diva! No worries, she'll be your client very often than my usual schedule. Next time, she'll be the one who will visit you personally."
"That would be great! The heiress of Morgana Family is finally coming back, and with the special personalization by yours truly." She winked at me.
Ngumiti ako sakaniya habang nagsasalita siya.
"Bumagay sakaniya ang ayos, and she really looks more mature now. Namayat nga siya, but it suits her since eligible bachelors will fall in line just to have her."
Can't it be? Is she gonna do an arranged marriage for me?
Humina ang usapan nila dahil mas narinig ko ang sarili ko. Hindi ko gusto maipangako sa iba. Mukhang wala pa atang idea si Auntie Esmeralda na if ever matuloy na kailangan ko ng mapapangasawa si Hugo iyon, at hindi ang iba.
Plus, I don't really support the idea in regards needing men just to lead. Women can lead without men. The topic itself isn't debatable since that's how it should happen.
Umiling ako, at mamaya ko na nga iisipin ito. Kailangan ko munang makausap si Hugo dahil ang nireply lang nito sa message ko ay magenjoy ako. How would I enjoy if I knew that my aunt offended him?
Ilang beses ko siyang kinulit, but I got no response. Manang Editha said that they had left the mansion. Nakakainis hindi man lang nagpaalam.
"Dear, you have to smile. Okay?" Hinatak ako sa realidad nang marinig ang boses ni Mama Diva. Naramdaman ko ang init ng mukha sa naiisip kong mga problema.
"Okay, po, thank you." Iyon lang ang sinagot ko at nagflying kiss ito sa akin bago sila patuloy lumabas nila Auntie at mga kasamahan niya
Mas nakita ko rin ang sarili ko sa salamin. I look elegant now. I saw the clothes they especially bought for me, kanina, and I was really impressed they know my sizes. This is what I usually wear before, but mas madalas lamang ngayon dahil siguro sa edad ko at papasukin kong trabaho.
"May kailangan lang ako gawin, Anak ha. Sabihan mo lang ako kapag may kailangan ka." Paalam ni Manang Editha sa akin, at tumango lang ako sabay ngiti.
I tried calling Hugo again, but he did not respond.
