Kasagsagan nanaman ng eleksyon. For sure my dad will be busy as always. He never got tired of serving other people. How about me, his daughter? 

"Camilla, you're next," Danica called me.

I stood up and take off my robe. I really hate elections, nawawala ang privacy ko sa mga taong puro issue ang ginagawa sa mga anak ng tumatakbong kandidato.

"Wait lang po tayo after ni Senator," Sabi ng isang staff. 

I watched my father and my stepmom while taking their best shot. We're having a family portrait na ilalagay para sa mga t-shirts, postcards and calendar na ipamimigay sa mga tao.

"Sama na po kayo," Ginabayan ako nang babae papunta sa gitna upang samahan ang mga magulang ko.

"Where's your brother?" My dad asked me.

"I don't know," I said casually.

"Wait," He raised his hand to stop the photographer and other staff in the room. "Marilyn, find Karter, right now." He commanded his secretary.

"There's no purpose finding, kuya." I said in a low tone.

I know where he exactly at but I know if I told him to come here right away, he won't come. Because he wanted to be private, and ayaw niya na makita ang mukha niya na nakadikit sa bahay ng ibang tao.

"Camilla, try to smile slightly," Matthew gestured my lips and asked me to lift them a little. 

I smiled like what he asked me to do. A few shots were done, dad's secretary returned with her phone in her right hand. Seeing her face it looks like she didn't convinced my brother to go here.

"Senator, I'm sorry but Karter doesn't pick up my calls. Sinubukan ko na rin pong tawagan ang mga kaibigan niya kaso pare-parehas po ang sinasabi nila na hindi nila kasama si Karter." Kinakabahang paliwanag nang sekretary niya.

"Damn that guy!" Mariing bulong ni Dad.

Tumayo ako at hinarap si Daddy. Tamad ko siyang tinignan, "Matagal pa ba 'to? I have flight at 3pm, baka ma-late ako."

"Let your son do what he wants. Alam mo naman ayaw masyado nun nang atensyon ng mga tao." Pagpapakalma ni Mommy Trisha, kay daddy.

"Fine! Do I have a choice?" Sinenyasan niya muli si Matthew na ipagpatuloy ang pagkuha nang litrato sa amin.

It takes more shots before they dismissed us. Ang hassle talaga kapag sunod-sunod ang mga kailangan kong gawin. I have to fly to Cebu this week dahil may inaayos akong campaign para kay Daddy, as his daughter I'll be his representative since his schedule is tight for this week.
