"Para sa... debut ko?" They all nodded in response.

"You've been busy these days that you almost forgot your birthday." Mom said.

I sighed, "Yeah. School's activity sucks." I walked in and sat beside Jennah.

"Come on, loosen up. You'll be in a legal age next month!" Sherrina almost yelled.

"She's right. Aren't you excited?" Keana asked.

"I am. But I have lots of things to do."

"Hey, stop worrying about that talent search. Student council na ang bahala dun," Ani ni Leila.

"And I'm gonna be the owner of that school when I turned eighteen, right? So, I have to take charge."

"Sweetheart, you're stressing yourself. Take it easy, ayokong pumangit ka sa araw ng debut mo. And I'm sure you wouldn't like that idea." I smiled at mom.

"Okay. So, let's start this."

"Yay!"

There, nagkagulo na kami sa loob. Una akong sinukatan para sa tatlong gowns na gagamitin ko for my debut. Actually, I'm a little bit excited. This is my dream. Gusto kong maramdaman ang pagiging prinsesa. I don't know my mom's plan on my debut, but I trust her.

"Bebe, sino ang bet mong escort?" I glanced at Keana.

"Hmm... si Jaden Morris sana, but he'll definitely reject me." I sighed.

"Try mo. Malay mo pumayag."

"At kung hindi?" I asked habang pinapatalikod ako nung designer.

"Edi si Kris nalang," Leila has a point.

"Right. Kris will be my escort, mom." My mom nodded happily.

"Sure. But... I haven't met him yet."

"Oh. I'll call him to come over, tita." Sabi ni Sherrina.

Nang matapos akong sukatan, si Jennah at Keana naman ang sunod. Tinabihan ko si Mom sa sofa. Tiningnan ko yung magazine na inii-scan nya. Oh, it's all about an event. Venues, cakes, gowns, roses, invitations, souvenirs, etcetera.

"Saan nga pala ang venue, mommy?"

"Flora's Grand Hotel."

"Our hotel?" she nodded. That's the second biggest hotel in the Philippines. Flora. It's my mom's name. That hotel was a gift from my dad.

I stared at my mom worriedly, "Are you sure?"

She smiled, "Ofcourse, sweety. That's your dream, right? Sabi mo sa akin noon, gusto mong mag-debut sa Flora's katulad nung sa ate mo. You also told me the kind of party you would want it to be."

She remembered...everything. I'm holding back my tears now. I don't wanna cry, not in front of my mom.

"Opo. How about the invitations?" I changed the topic.

"List down all the person you want to be part of your special day. And on Saturday, you'll going to have a pre-debut shoot."

"Hm. Noted." Mom's really good at this.

"Good evening po." Sabay-sabay kaming lumingon sa pinanggalingan ng boses.

"Kris, halika pasok ka." Sabi ni Keana. I stood up and went to him.

Kumapit ako sa braso nya at lumapit kay Mom. She stood up and smiled.

"Mommy, this is Kris Michael Go. My best friend slash my escort. KM, this is my mom. And oh, that girl over there, she's my sister." Sabi ko sabay turo kay Jennah na kasalukuyang sinusukat yung hips.
