Chapter 23

Seraphine 

Betrayal

There's so many people inside, they are singing for me while I was staring at all people in here. My cousins, uncle and aunty, abuela and abuelo, and the other friends of my parents and business partner.

I felt happy at the same time hurt, because I can see to few of my relatives Its like they are force by it. I hide the pain even it stabbing my chest many time I still smile for them.

"Happy birthday hija." Mom made her way to me and kissed my cheeks, she looked happy same with dad. They greet me and the photographer took a picture of us three.

I put my arms around there arms before they lead me the way to my sit in the stage, everyone set aside so we can have a space to walk directly to the stage.

Umupo ako roon Bago ako Iwan nila mom and dad, everyone seated and the light went dim until the big screen flash with my old young self video.

I was trying to get off the cup of my milk but I can't because it's hard to take it off and I'm not that strong enough, then I cry because of trying to get off the cup. I smile because of the cuteness of me, I heard people laugh at my young self before the video flash on the other video of me again.

This feels surreal, I just realized that I grow up so fast. Before I'm just a three year old enjoying to be young, not to stress to much, and have no problem. And now, I'm nineteen with brave and strong woman I am.

I want to say my young self, that even though we hurt many times, people don't like us, they see us arrogant and attitude woman, but we know we are soft, we just don't like the way they treat us.

When the video ends, everyone clapped I clapped to my self too to congratulate my self to survive.

The next scene is a group of people came in front and they start lining up, I was confused what they will do.

When they start dancing and Taylor swift "22" song start playing, they start dancing while I was enjoying the song and dance. I can feel my inner child suddenly came inside me that make me feel like a child again.

The whole party was smooth until it's time too eat and after eating, speech for the birthday celebrant, and next the 19 roses, 19 candles, and 19 gift.

I talk to everyone habang ako ay Wala pang balak Kumain. I saw mom walking to my direction, I glance at him before looking at the girl I was talking.

"You looked really beautiful, like Cinderella." Camila said, I thank her to her compliment.

"Of course, I make sure that she looked gorgeous like Cinderella." Mom said beside me. I awkwardly smile at her.

"Please excuse us, enjoy eating don't be shy to get more food." I said to them before I pulled mom out there.

Nang nasa malayo na kami ay hinarap ko siya.

"Why did you give me a birthday present like this?" I ask her.

"It's your birthday sera, at lagi namang ganito kapag birthday mo." She said.

"I understand but the surprise? That's not that part of the plan before." I said to her, Every time it's my birthday that's always their plan and I was always involved but this? This is new.

"We just want to change the plans, because me and your dad decided to surprised you without knowing it. I'm sorry darling, if this is making you shocked." She said, I sigh before I nod.

"It's okay mom, I understand." I said to her before I left there to entertain other guests again.

Pagkatapos ng kainan ay simula nanaman ang event. I was sitting in my chair while the 19 candles are giving message to me, I feel happy and appreciate with there speech.
