"You can't go out tonight, Zhera..." Ate Leira's formal voice stopped me from walking.

Kunot noong napalingon agad ako sa kanya, she was serious and formal. Hindi ko napigilang mapansin ang kanyang ayos ngayon. She's wearing a beige silky long gown and a three inches beige stilettos.

Her hair is tied up and perfectly combed. Bumaba siya sa panghuling baitang ng grand staircase. She looked elegant and screaming authority.

I gaped. "Ate..."

"You can't go out tonight, Zhera." she told me again. "I'm going to the company's party, stay at home for tonight."

Walang paalam na nilagpasan na niya ako para lumabas ng mansyon. Sumunod agad ang isang baklang stylist sa kanya. Nakita ko pang pinagbuksan siya ng pintuan ng driver namin at saka siya sumakay roon.

Napakamot ako sa ulo, I didn't expect this! I'm all ready to go out and call Reitius that I was ready and this? Geez.

I feel like a maid! Nakakainis! Wala lang talaga akong magawa, e. Bakit kaya hindi siya ang manatili rito sa bahay? Bwisit! Pupunta siya sa party at ako ang aalilain niyang magbantay dito?

Gosh.

Padabog akong umupo sa sofa. Daddy is nowhere, probably he was in the party! Nauna lang siguro siya roon dahil marami na naman siyang uutuin na maging business partners niya.

Suminghap ako at inilabas ang aking cellphone. Wala na, e. Wala na akong magagawa. Kailangan ko lang gawin ay ang sumunod at manatili rito gaya ng kanyang utos.

Ako:

Baby, I can't go with you. I'm sorry... :(

Ilang minuto pa siya bago nakasagot sa aking text.

Reitius Ford:

Why? Did something happen?

Huminga ako ng malalim at hindi nakasagot doon. I chewed my lower lip and stood up, I walked back and forth because of irritation.

Geez. What am I gonna do here?

My phone rang. Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at kinagat ang aking ibabang labi, it was Reitius. I immediately answered it. Nilagay ko ang cellphone sa aking tainga.

"I'm sorry, Ate Lei told me to stay for tonight." I bit my lower lip.

Nakakainis! Imbes na magkakasama kami ni Reitius ay napurnada pa, magkasama naman kami kanina pero nakukulangan ako. Gusto kong samahan siya sa pagsundo sa kanyang kapatid.

He sighed. "It's okay, baby. Makakapagpahinga ka rin, I'll just text you when I get there. Hmm."

Napatango naman ako kahit hindi niya nakikita.

"Mm." I mumbled. "Drive safely, please..."

He chuckled. Nadidinig ko ang busina ng mga sasakyan sa kabilang linya, he's on the way.

"Uh-hmm, sleep early, baby. 'Wag mo na ko hintayin, mamaya pa naman ang boarding ni Kuya Ral at malayo-layo pa ang byahe ko."

I sighed heavily and pouted a bit.

"I wanna go with you..." I said sadly.

"I wanna be with you..." he said. "I miss you already, baby. Pero kailangan mong sumunod, okay? We'll see each other tomorrow."
