Lie (Me Series #1)

Chapter 4

Saturday came. It's Al birthday. At first mom and dad won't let me. But then they know that Elian is coming, Tito Tom's son. Pumayag sila dahil mabait na bata si Elian at babantayin niya ako.

"Babysitter pala ako ngayon haha" Elian chuckled at my side. Nasa loob kami ng sasakyan niya. His driver drove the car. "Ayaw mo nun?" I stared at him. Namula siya bahagya at umiwas ng tingin. "Secret.." aniya niya.

I pouted and didn't ask again. I'm wearing an off-shoulder vintage dress. The color is baby blue, the skirt part is 3 inches above my knee. I did my hair in a high ponytail and I'm wearing a blue sandals without heels, I partnered it with a casual purse style.

"I hope Al will like this." I muttered. My gift for her is a chanel perfume. Of course I covered it para presentable. Is it too much?

"She loves presents. Yeh she will." lumingon si Elian sa akin. I smiled to him pero bago siya maka umiwas ng tingin. I held his face. Lumaki ang kaniyang mata at natigilan.

"Y-you don't like m-my smi-ile?" I shattered a little. He gulped and patted my head. "I don't because I love it." binaba ko ang kamay ko. Ngayon ako naman ang natigilan.

Namula ako sa sinabi niya. I looked away, facing the window of the car. I felt something in my stomach. And my heart is beating fast.

"what am I feeling?" bulong ko sa sarili. Lumingon ulit ako kay Elian.

He's wearing a white formal polo shirt, tinupi niya ito hanggang siko. He's also wearing a formal trouser pants with black and white sneakers. I can say, Elian looks so handsome and formal.

Hanggang balikat lamang ako sa kaniya, height gap namin. After a few minutes. We arrived at his home.

"Wow... " a mansion! Bigger than ours. The mansion looks so stunning and aesthetic. The designs is like a castle. "Let's go?" saad ni Elian. Ngumiti ako ng malapad. I nodded excitedly.

Bumaba na kami sa kotse at pumasok na sa loob. The wind blew my hair but it didn't get messy because it's in a ponytail. "Ang ganda.." patuloy na puri ko sa bahay nila. I can sense that Elian is looking at me. He probably thinks I'm dumb because of my reactions.

"Dito tayo Mariposa." Iginaya niya ako patungo sa silid kung nasaan sila Al. Their faces lit up when they saw me. "Lenaaaaa!!" I tightly hold my gift, feeling nervous. "H-hello" I gave my present to Al. Lumaki ang mata niya at niyakap niya ako.

"Salamat bebe ko." We let go the hug. "yeyyyy nandito si Lenaaa" they jumped in unison including Elian haha.

"Come on, let's tour you around" Indigo said. "yess, the other guests will arrived later" aniya ni Becka.

"Guests?" tugon ko. "Daddy Tommy's friends and ohh Sir Uri will be here." Al exaggerate. Tumango sina Sash at Becka.

"I bet he is rich." I said. "I agree. He looks so professional." Sash said to us.

"Oo nga, ang gwapo talaga niya eh." Becka joined the topic. "Yes bebe, let's talk to Sir Uri when he's here" Al suggested. We looked at her and agreed also.

Indigo rolled his eyes. "Enough!" gigil na sabi niya. Sash glared at him. Ginantihan rin ito ng tingin ni Indigo. "oh ano!?"

Umiling si Sash at hindi niya ito pinansin. "Guys, let's goooo!" Al grabbed my hand. At yun, maganda na naman ang buhay ko dahil sa kanila.

"This is our room."

"The kitchen tadaaa!"

"Hoy apat na mata, wag kang atat kumain."
