"Where's Tito and Tita?" Nakangiting tanong ko kay Nathan.

"Oh, they changed clothes for the party. They'll be here later, before the party could start." He nicely said.

"Okay." Sunod ko namang nilingon ay si Haven na nakatingin din saakin. "Hi." I shortly greeted pero inirapan niya lang ako. I just chuckled at her stupid attitude.

I glaced at Vraxx when he held my hand which is on my lap. He glared at me and simply shook his head, I just rolled my eyes at him ang removed his hand on mine. Ipinatong ko na lamang ang kamay ko sa table at tumingin-tingin sa paligid para malibang.

"There's mom and dad!" Nathan waved his hand to get his parents attention. "They'll be happy to see you, Satana." Binalingan niya pa ako kaya binigyan ko siya ng ngiti. "Mom, dad." He stood up and hugged his parents.

"Happy anniversary po, tita and tito." Haven stood up to formally greet his parents. "Inilagay ko na po doon sa table yung gift ko para sainyo."

"Nako ija, hindi naman na kailangan pero salamat." Magiliw na saad ni Mrs.Santiago.

Tumayo rin Vraxx at nilingon ako at sinenyasan na tumayo rin. I stood up holding my gift.

"Happy anniversary po sainyo. I already put my gifts there too, I hope you'll like it."

"You know I like your style ijo." Saad ni Mr.Santiago. "Ipakilala mo naman kami sa kasama mong napakaganda."

"She's At-"

"Let me formally introduce myself." I cut him off and looked at the couple with a genuine smile. "Satana McDebil, Dems Imperial CEO, ako po si Athena." Para silang binuhosan ng malamig na tubig dahil sa gulat. "I know it's surprising but I wanted to greet you both a happiest wedding anniversary. Please take my gift." I handed out my gift and they took it still in processed.

"Mom? Dad? You both are being weird, si Athena lang naman po yan." Natatawang usal ni Nathan na naging dahilang kung bakit muling nabalik sa kasalukoyan yung dalawa.

"Oh God. Ija, you grew up so well." He caressed my cheek before giving a warm hug. Without further ado, I closed my eyes and hugged her back. I always like Nathan's mom because she kinda resemble my mom's attitude. "Salamat naman at nakapunta ka." Humiwalay siya saakin at ganoon din naman ako.

"Vraxx invited me to come with him po." Nakangiti kong usal at tyaka ko nilingon si tito. "Alagaan niyo po ng mabuti si tita."

"Of course ija." Proud na sambit ni tito. "Mabuti naman at nagkabalikan na kayo." Nakangiti niya pang dagdag at pasimpleng nilingon si Vraxx.

"Mom, dad, kailangan niyo pumunta doon sa unahan para masimulan  ang party." Usal ni Nathan.

"Oh siya maiwan muna namin kayo dito." Nilingon niya kami isa-isa pero muli niya naman itong ibinalik saakin. "Masaya akong makita ka ulit, Athena."

"Ako din po." Nginitian muna namin ang isa't-isa bago siya tuloyang tumalikod. I stood still and watched her back as they walked towards the mini stage. "I miss my mom and dad." I whispered to myself.

"Maupo kana, Athena." Hinawakan ni Vraxx ang kamay ko at inalalayang makaupo pagkatapos ay tinignan niya ako ng may pag-alala. "Are you alright? Gusto mo na bang umalis? Just tell me."

"I'm okay." Inalis ko ang kamay niyang nakahawak saakin at umayos ng upo.

Di nagtagal ay nagsimula na ang party and I barely touched my food. I just don't have an appetite. I sipped on my wine and simply smirk when I felt my pouch vibrated.
