Conquering the epitome

CHAPTER 1

"CASTTALIANA, iha mayroong dumating na mensahe para saiyo." She handed me the silver enveloped engraved by a matte black letter.

'You are invited.'

I checked the invitation and it was a mini gathering for the heir of bussinessman and women. It consists of 100 of persons.

'Why did they call it mini when the first place isn't...'

Napa buntong hininga na lamang ako. Alam kong wala akong ibang magagawa kung hindi ang pumayag dito.

Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaypo ko sa aking kama at lumapit sa telepono. Tinipa ko ang numero ng matalik kong kaibigan upang makausap ito.

After a couple of rings she finally picked up the phone.

"Iyah? Did you recieve an invitaion?" I mentally prayed that she does. Wala akong gaanong kaibigan maliban na lang sa kaniya.

"Of course, I already ordered tons of clothes for that event!"

Well, I hoped she did not order for me-

"I also bought you some!" She laughed. I guess I need to pay her again.

"How many clothes and what do you want?" Diniinan ko ang pagtatanong ng kapalit na gusto nya. Although iisa lang namn palagi ang gusto nya.

"Yung bagong number sana ni Cadd?"

For the nth freaking time! Sya lang ang nagiisang babae na kilala ko na kahit ilang beses ng nagpalit ng sim card ang gusto ay gagawa at gagawa pa din ng paraan upang makuha muli ang numero nito.

"Sure abbi, But you did not answer my first question..." I pointed out.

"Kaonti lang naman yun Liana..."

"Gaano kakonti?"

"50 pairs or up?"

Pinigilan ko ang sarili kong nasigawan o mapagalitan man lang sya. She was overating about the clothes.

"Iyah Gail?! Ano naman ang gagawin ko sa mga iyon?"

"Duh, syempre isusuot mo 'yon? O baka gusto mong wag na lang mag-damit? Your choice."

"By the way, they are calling me na, see you sa pinas girl! Finally we are coming back!"

"See you there..." I ended the call, not waiting for her reply.

4 years It has been...

"I can't wait to comeback."

"PRINCESS, they are waiting for you there." Napalingon ako kay manang ng sabihin nya 'yon.

"Who?" Baka mali lang ako ng iniisip.

"Them." She pointed out. I sighed, So I'll be seeing them again? So fvcked-up.

"Ok" Wala naman akong magagawa kung hindi ang tanggapin ang katotohanang muli ko na naman silang makikita.

"Iha... You will be staying there for a whole month, then there is this after party with everyone."

"A month?"

"Yes. Month. 30 days."

"Bakit ang tagal?!" What do they think will do there huh?

"Doon mababasi ang rank nyo Liana..."

"So alam naman natin na ako yung magiging una sa rank, that's already given manang!"

"Iha, malay mo naman mayrong mas mataas sa kung anong estado mo ngayon." Mahinahong paliwanag nya.

"Kung mayroon nga baka luhuran ko sya." I almost puke just thinking that someone is above me!
