Monday came, and days passed like a whirlwind. Today's my birthday, and my father really prepared for a celebration. I was speechless. This is the first time that he has done this. I can't believe it. He hated this day so much. Hindi ko alam kung bakit biglang nagbago ang hangin.
Is he changing? Or maybe not. Impossible.
"Happy birthday, Yari..." My sister greeted me with a big, warm hug.
I giggled.
"Thank you, ate!" I said it with so much enthusiasm.
She looks happy too, like me. She's the one who greeted me first.
"Where's my gift?" pabiro kong tanong sakanya.
She smirked at me.
"Later, Yari. Don't spoil my gift." she said.
I laughed and hugged her again.
My morning went well. My class was surprisingly not boring.
"Happiest birthday to my one and only best friend!" Ashley jumped on me with glee.
Natatawa ko syang niyakap pabalik at mahinang tinapik ang kanyang likod. Ang hyper nya na naman.
"Thanks but you're going to kill me with your hug, Ash. Ang higpit masyado." nakangiti kong sinabi.
She pouted but smiled immediately.
"Tuloy ang dinner sainyo mamaya, Rie?" she asked.
I nodded. Kinuha ko ang mga libro ko at niyakap iyon. Sinabit ko rin ang bag sa balikat.
"Tara na at naghihintay si Ate Salisha!" maligayang sigaw nya habang hinahatak ako palabas ng room.
My smile remained.
Kasabay namin maglalunch ngayon si ate. She cooked as for my request.
"Alam mo bang sasama mamaya si kuya! He even bought a gift for you! He's so sweet 'no?" kwento nya habang tinatahamak namin ang papunta sa cafeteria.
I shot a brow at her. Here we go again.
"Nirereto mo na naman ba sa'kin ang kuya mo?" tanong ko.
Humigpit ang yakap nya sa braso ko at maganda syang naglakad.
"Correct! He's annoying pero bagay kayo," saad nya.
Napailing na lang ako sakanya. Hindi na iyon bago, lagi ko kayang naririnig sakanya 'yon. Hindi ko rin tuloy masabi kung seryoso ba sya o pinagtitripan lang ako.
"Ayaw mo ba sa future engineer? Nako hindi mo na poproblemahin ang bahay, Rie!" pagpapatuloy nya.
Well... Isang tao lang naman ang gusto ko. But sadly I'm into businessman. A smirked formed on my lips. Iyon nga lang wala akong pagasa ro'n.
"Did you forget that my sister is a future architect, Ash? Hindi ko talaga kailangang problemahin ang bahay." kontra ko.
She hissed.
"Bakit ko ba nakalimutan na isa kang Delavigne! Mas mayaman nga pala kayo sa amin." she sighed exaggeratedly.
Si Daddy lang naman ang mayaman sa'min.
I rolled my eyes.
Pagpasok namin sa cafeteria ay nahanap agad ng mata ko ang kapatid na abala sa pagaayos ng pagkain sa nakuha nyang table. Hindi pansin ang mga matang nakatutok sakanya.
I smirked.
Wala kayong pagasa d'yan. Sorry na lang.
"Ate Salisha!" Ashley screamed excitedly.
