"And you know what hija, I know someone who make stunning gowns! You'll love it! Your Mom knows him, as well! He's a well-known fashion designer of wedding gowns."

Tita Mia is unstoppable. She keeps on gushing about the upcoming wedding whilst Odyssey looks so interested listening to her.

Kanina ko pa siya sinesenyasan upang putulin ang usapan pero napunta na't lahat sa reception ay hinahayaan niya lang. Halos sumakit na ang mata ko sa pandidilat sa kanya!

I know it was my idea! But then, we haven't settled anything yet aside from him agreeing!

But of course, it's a lifelong dream come true for me to be wedded to him! I am so excited about it. Iyon nga lang, marami pang factors na dapat isipin. And my parents! Oh gosh! Mom just came back! Ni hindi pa kami nakakapag-usap ng masinsinang dalawa! We should settle all of those first.

That's why, dapat ko talagang patigilin si Tita Mia..

Iniisip ko na lang na sana ay may divine intervention na mangyari.. which was immediately granted!

The door quickly opened! Hallellujah! I heaved a sigh in relief.

Pumasok ang tila humahangos na matangkad na lalaki.

Gulat at kinikilala ko siyang tinitigan.

Who else would enter the CEO's office without a guard tailing him?

"Revlin.. what's with your face?" Agad na tumayo si Tita Mia at nilapitan ito.

Revlin? This is Revlin Stanford?

Nakasimangot ang binata nang tinanggal ang hoodie. I was greeted with his handsome face in glasses. His hair is styled undercut. His eyes resembled his brother, but I can't pinpoint its shade due to his glasses. He have a prominent jaw but when he clenched it, it showed a dimple in the right side of his cheeks.

Kung gayon ay eto na si Revlin? Hindi ako ganoon ka familiar sa kanya since he's unlike the other Stanford's whose attending parties and events. From what I heard, he rarely goes out and socialize. The media was curious about him, too. He was the least popular among the Stanford's but his mysteriousness gave him appeal to the crowd.

Isa pa, matagal din akong lakwatsera sa ibat-ibang lugar kaya hindi ko na nakita pa si Revlin.

"I just met someone annoying." He grunted.

"Who? Is she a girl? Finally, a girlfriend anak?" sunod sunod na tanong ng ina niya.

"Mom? Girlfriend agad? No one. She's not even a friend." He scorned.

"Hmm.." Tita Mia suspiciously observed her son then grinned. "This is the first time I saw you this affected. I'm more curious now."

"Sweetheart, let our son be." Tito warned his wife while chuckling.

Ganito yata talaga ang mga Stanford kay Tita Mia, walang gaanong conviction sa pagpigil.

"What? I didn't do anything wrong? Pinagkakaisahan niyo ba akong mag-ama?" She glared at them.

"Mom, don't exaggerate." Naiiling na saad ni Ody.

Naaaliw akong pagmasdan ang usapan nila. I've never saw them interact like a family.

Well, ano bang alam ko eh ngayon ko lang sila nakasama ng matagal simula noong bata ako? I've been busy traveling that I didnt realized I'm missing a lot in life.
