It's a Saturday morning. I woke up at around 9:30 am to do my daily routine every morning. I went down to eat breakfast and get ready for later's event.
"Good Morning mom." I greeted my mom a good morning.
"Good morning anak." sabi ng mom ko. "Sige kain ka na anak. Akyat lang ako." sabi niya sa akin.
"Opo ma." sabi ko nalang bago siya umakyat sa kanyang kwarto.
I ate my breakfast alone. My mom is upstairs and my dad is out for a while. Babalik nalang siya bago mag party.
After I ate breakfast, I went to the bathroom to take a bath and did my routine. I changed to my pang-alis clothes. I am wearing a white off-shoulder crop top matched with maong shorts and white sneakers.
My mom went down already and getting ready to go out. Pupunta kami sa bilihan ng formal dress para susuotin mamayang gabi.
My mom drove the car to the nearest botique para sa susuotin ko. We went down the car and went inside the shop.
"Anak, pili ka na sa susuotin mo mamaya" sabi ng aking ina.
I saw dresses with touch of pink, purple and blue at naghanap ako sa mga nakadisplay na sa hanger. I saw a beige off shoulder dress na dresses na babagay sa akin. Pumunta ako ng dressing room para sukatin yun. Lumabas ako para ipakita sa mom ko.
"Maganda yan anak. It fits you" natutuwang sabi ng aking ina.
"Okay po ma, bilhin na po natin" sabi ko.
Pagkatapos namin bilhin ang dress na binili ko. Nagpasya na kami umuwi muna para magayos para sa mamayang event. My dad will fetch us with my mom papunta sa event.
Nagayos ako at naglagay ng light make up at lipstick. I wore my beige off shoulder dress with matching heels to fit with my attire. I went down the stairs because im ready to leave.
"Bakit pa kasi ako kasama pa" sabi ko
"Gusto kita ipakilala sa mga tao ko sa opisina" sabi ng dad ko.
"Wala naman akong gagawin diyan eh. Bakit pa ako kasama?" tanong ko
"Ieenjoy.mo nalang ang party." sabi ng dad ko.
Wala naman ako kakilala sa party na ito. Mabobore lang ako. Its a good thing I brought my phone and powerbank with me to the party. Mag scroll nalang ako sa social media account ko.
We arrive at the venue. The venue was huge. Mataas ang ceilings and may chandeliers. Malawak ang loob ng venue. Halos marami na ring tao sa loob. I went to sit down with my family's table.
"Allieana come here, may ipapakilala ako" sabi ng dad ko
Tinatawag ako ng dad ko dahil may ipapakilala siyang officemates niya.
"Hello Mr.Santos, this is my daughter Allieana." sabi ng isang halos kasing edad lang ng aking ama.
The man is wearing a formal attire. He looks professional wearing it.
"Hello po." nakipagkamay ako sa kanya.
"Diba your from West High?. I am Lucas' father. He is there with his friends" sabi niya at tinuro niya ito sa bandang malayo.
Okay? wait magkakilala pala dad namin ni Lucas. Bat ngayon ko lang nalaman.
"Ahh opo batchmate ko po siya" sabi ko sa dad ni Lucas.
"Its the good thing, they know each other. Sabi ng dad ko sa kanya.
I immediately excused myself on the conversation and went back to my place. It was a bit lonely because I do not have kakilala here. Ayaw ko naman pumunta kay Lucas ayoko makigulo doon.
"Anak wala ka bang kakilala dito?" sabi ng mom ko.
"Wala po eh" sabi ko.
Kumakain na kami ng dinner. May buffet kasi kaya and may nagcacater ng pagkain ngayong gabi.
Pagkatapos naming kumain, pumunta ako sa may labas ng venue. May parang park kasi sa labas. Wala naman kasi akong gagawin sa party na ito. Dapat sa bahay nalang ako eh.
I sat down on the swing sa may park. It likes parang bench swing. I scrolled on my social media. Wala ako magawa eh. Habang nagscroll ako, I heard a child running na para bang may hinahabol.
"Hey Steve! bumalik ka sa loob." sabi nung naghahabol sa kanya.
I saw Lucas running with his baby brother. He glanced at me and wondered why I was here.
"Allieana bakit ka nandito?" tanong niya.
"I was invited by my dad, I guess. Magkakilala pala dad ko at dad mo."
"Yes, they are business partners." sagot niya.
"Mind if I sit here?" tanong niya.
"Sure" tipid kong sabi.
We were awkward. No one spoke between the two of us. Im not good at having topics to talk about.
"Can I have your number?" tanong niya.
Speed naman oh. Hinihinigi niya number ko. Ibibigay ko ba or huwag ko nang ibigay.
"Ano bang gagawin mo sa number ko ha?" sabi ko
"Wala. I need someone to talk to, I guess." sabi niya.
"Bakit ako pa? dami diyan pwede makausap. Batchmates natin, bakit ako" tanong ko sa sarili ko.
"Gusto kita eh" sabi niya.
I blinked twice dahil sa sinabi niya. Tama ba ang aking narinig? He also smirked while saying it.
"Anong sinabi mo?" sabi ko
"Basta gusto kita makausap" sabi ni Lucas.
"Luh siya ito na nga number ko." sabi ko
Pinakita ko sa kanya ang phone ko. Nilalagay niya na ang number sa phone niya. Until ngayon bakit ako pa gusto niya makausap.
"Is that your brother kanina? yung hinahabol mo" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Half brother" sabi niya.
"Oh sorry" nasabi ko nalang.
I havent heard na meron siyang half brother. I know how is it like.
"Its alright." sabi niya.
I don't what to say. I don't know how to act in this situation but im always here if somebody needs me.
"Pasok na tayo?" sabi ko
"Okay sure" sabi ni Lucas.
Magkalipas ng ilang oras, umuwi na kami ng mom and dad ko sa bahay. The day was tiring. Pagkauwi ko, I just did my night routine and skin care routine. I browsed my phone and my feed.
While browsing, an unknown messaged popped out on my screen.
