"You are bery byutipul Miss. Even without the make-up" sabi ni Kira. Isa sa mga member ng Glam Team ni Clarissa na binook nila Frank for me.

Our sala was temporary turned into a make-up studio with all the stuffs and other things.

Simple akong ngumiti. "Para po kayong artista. Nag-artista na po ba kayo?" Sabi niya habang abalang naglalagay ng rollers sa buhok ko.

"Hindi" matipid kong sagot.

"Tama naman pala si Sir Prank, di kami mahihirapan sa inyo" sabi niya at nagkatinginan kami sa reflection namin sa vanity mirror.

"I look so simple. Mahihirapan kayong gawing elegante ako ngayong gabi" I sound fishing right? But, I really don't know how to keep the conversation going kasi e.

"Bery byutipul and elegant" sabi pa niya at saktong dating ni Clarissa. Siya ang professional make up artist sa team na ito. She just need to answer a call lang kanina.

"I'm sorry, Miss if natagalan. Si Sir Frank niremind ako na light lang dapat yung make up"

Napakunot ang noo ko. I admit that Frank is very hands-on pero pati sa make up ko?

"But if I need heavy make up to make me look good then do it" I said.

"No, Miss. Actually, you don't need any. You are stunning even without it" she said.

Ngumiti ako. "Pero dahil trabaho ko to at dito ako kumikita, kaya dapat make-upan kita" she continued and winks.

I like this team. Medyo mga bolera sila, syempre that's a marketing strategy maybe pero nakakatawa silang lahat kaya gusto ko sila. They won me.

Saktong 6:00 ay natapos ang make up ko pati hair at nasuot ko na rin ang dress with all the help of this glam team.

"You look perf" Clarissa told me as we watched my reflection on the human sized mirror. Suot ko ang isa sa mga Valentino Haute Couture Collection from one of the best atelier here in Milagros. It is a strapless black A-line gown na saktong sakto ang disensyo sa nais ko.

"You made everything that's why" I said at hinawi ang beach wave curl kong buhok.

"No. Really. You look beautiful"

"Thanks" I said at narinig kong tumunog ang cellphone ko. It's Ate Lala.

"Guys, may pinrepare si Mrs. Tomas for you. Kain na muna kayo before you leave" sabi ko at sinagot ang tawag ni Ate ng maiwan na akong mag-isa at lahat sila ay nasa dining room na.

"Hi Ate Lala"

"I saw your picture that you've sent to Mom. Gandaaaaa" bakas sa tono niya ang saya.

"Thanks" matipid kong sagot.

"Hey! What's with that tone?"

"I feel nervous, Ate Lala. Montemayors will be there"

"So what?"

"So what? Pinahiya ko sila, remember?"

"Listen, Riri. You've never done anything wrong to that family. You just fought for what you think was right, e?"

How I wished Ate Lala's here. Pero mas kailangan siya ng Dad and Mom sa Manila e.

"I really don't know how to stay calm, Ate. I'll be meeting people who might know something about the past. Kinakabahan talaga ako"

"Ri, when you go back to Milagros alam kong you prepared yourself na dadating 'tong moment na to. This kind of moment na haharap ka sa mga taong alam yung nangyari before. Be strong. If not now, then when?" She said with authority.
