WHITE TULIPS

CHAPTER 26

It's 7:35 in the morning, I woke up by the deafening sound of my alarm clock. Nang magising ako ay na datnan ko ang pinsan kong abala sa pag hahanap ng kung ano.

I bowed and stared at the plain white blanket wrapping loosely half of my body. I still can't forget what had happened yesterday, A sweet smile slowly forms into my lips as I am trying to recall everything that had happened. Tumayo ako sa pag kakahiga at dinampot ang natutulog kong pusa.

"Good morning.." nagising si Ursula matapos kong pisilin ang matabang pisngi nito.

"You're awake!" Sigaw ng pinsan ko na may malaking ngiti

"Aga aga ingay mona" I mumbled

"I'm not!" She yelled

"Ano bang meron?"

"Are you dumb?! It's you're birthday!"
She yelled as if it is the end of the world

Right, ngayon nga pala ang birthday ko. A lot of things had happened that I even forgot the most important day of my life.

"Ahh" I said lazily and prolonged

"Yes!! Now stand up! We better prepare for today!" Minsan na ngalang nag tatagalog tong bruhang to puro sermon pa!

"Later, I'll just,.. uhmmm.." putol putol ko sabi habang naka pikit padin ang dalawang mga mata. "Wanna go back to sleep.." pabagsak akong nahiga sa malambot na kama.

"Huyyy!!" My cousin shouted as if she was some kind of giant speaker! An sakit sa tenga gaga!

"Tayu na!!!!"

"Gosh!!" I mumbled

"Stop yelling!! I'm not deaf!" Sigaw ko habang na babalutan ng malambot na unan ang buong mukha ko.

I'm still sleepy, pero alam kong mas magiging maingay patong bruha kong pinsan kong di pa ako kikilos.

I got up and started to clean my self. Nang matapos na akong mag ayus ay bumaba na ako. Nadat an ko ang napakaraming mga taong nag tatrabaho sa baba. Abalang abala sila sa pag de-decorate sa mansion, sala palang ay puno na ng desenyo pano pa kaya sa luob ng ball room namin?

"Oh there you are!" Dad spoke to me as soon as he sees me.

Katabi niya ang isang business man, pamilyar ako sa lalaki dahil minsan kona siyang nakita nuon, I think isa din siya sa mga ka trabaho ni dad.

"Hi dad" I smiled as I walked towards them.

"Good morning sweety, and.. happy birthday!" Dad greeted me with a smile.

"Oww thank you dad!" I responded joyfully showing a smile of appreciation.

"Happy birthday ija!" Wika ng lalaking katabi ni dad "thanks" tipid kong sagut dito. "Ngayong mas tumaas na ang idad mo ay mas nagiging kamukha mona ang mom mo." Wika ng lalaki na may ngiti sa labi.

I turned and look around to have a sight of my mother. I smiled as I have finally laid my eyes on her. She's standing not too far from where I am and currently talking with some designers, looking at mom, having a close attention to every details of her appearance I can finally see our resemblance, she had quiet long legs, a long wavy brunette hair, mesmerizing hazel eyes and a perfect shaped body, I often hear this kinds of complements from elders wich is logically true and really fluttering to hear.

"Mom might have strong blood I guess?" I joked and giggled. Both dad and the man laugh before excusing their selves to have some private conversation.

Lumapit ako kay mom at binigyan siya ng matamis na halik sa pisngi nang magtagpo kami.
