Howl at the Moon - We The Kings

----------------------------

Hindi na nabilang ni Eunice kung ilang beses syang napamura sa isip nya. Kanina pa din vibrate ng vibrate ang kanyang phone, pagtingin nya kung hindi ang kuya nya ang tumatawag, ang ate Jonnabel nya.

I'm really dead. Isip-isip nya at nagdesisyong sagutin ang tawag.

"Hello kuya?" kaswal na pagkakasagot nya.

"Anong hinehello hello mo dyan? Nasaan ka na!?" mataas na tono ng kapatid. Napapikit naman sya.

"I'm near." Sagot nya at ibinaba na ang tawag.

Hindi nya alam kung anong klaseng pagmamaneho ang kanyang ginawa makarating lang ng mabilis sa venue ng event. Pagpasok nya sa hotel room ay sabay-sabay na naglingunan ang kanyang pamilya at mga kaibigan.

"Oh anak what took you so long?" nag-aalalang tanong ng kanyang ina.

"Kanina pa naghihintay ang mga bisita. Did something happen?" tanong naman ng kanyang ama.

"No dad I'm okay mom. I was, I was with Rein." Nakita naman nyang napa-"oh" ang kanyang mga magulang at ang pagtaas ng kilay ng kanyang mga kaibigan maging ni Kent.

"We'll keep the visitors entertained. You should start your work here." Aniya ng kanyang ina at lumabas na sa kwarto kasama ang kanyang ama.

"I'll go down too. We're not done yet." Nagbabantang tingin ni Kent bago tuluyang lumabas ng kwarto. Napasimangot naman si Eunice.

"Why with the long face? It's your birthday you should smile! Now take a bath and let me do my work!" natutuwang sabi sa kanya ni Jonnabel as she pushed her inside the bathroom.

Tumagal ng isang oras ang kanilang pag-aayos bago bumaba sila Jonnabel at ang ilan pa nyang mga kaibigan upang sabahin na magsisimula na ang party. Naiwan naman sa tabi nya si Natalie.

"Hoy you seemed distracted kanina pa. May nangyari ba sa inyo?" usisa ni Natalie habang tinataas sya ng kilay.

"Wala." Titpid nyang sagot

"But your answer seemed to contradict your actions."

"Pwede ba Nat next time na tayo mag-usap about dyan." She said in defeat. Narinig naman nilang may kumatok sa pinto at pumasok ang nakangiting si Butler Lee.

"Young madam they are waiting for you." Nahigit naman ni Eunice ang kanyang paghinga sa anunsyo nito. Natalie gave her a bright smile, saying it will be alright. Tumango sya at tinulungan sya ni Natalie na isuot ang mask sa may kama. Natalie decided to go first for her grand entrance.

"Finally, the most awaited person of this night, please all welcome Eunice Kylie Zee Park!" the master of the ceremony announce, the signal for her to enter the room.

The two doors was opened by one of their body guards. She said thank you at bumungad sa kanya ang isang napakaliwanag na lugar at sobrang daming tao. She felt nervous and her hands were cold. She kept repeating 'you can do it' inside her head like a mantra as she took a step down the staircase. Everyone was looking as her, some are smiling, clapping and the others are just intently staring. Hindi naman nakaligtas sa paningin nya ang lalaking nagpadagdag ng kaba sa kanyang puso. He was wearing an all white tuxedo na pinartneran nito ng black next tie and mask. Nang makababa na sya, her Kuya Kent welcomed her and was smiling from ear to ear.

"Happy Birthday baby sis." He whispered and she answered him with a small smile.

"Thank you so much Kuya."
