After the ribbon cutting, tuloy-tuloy na ang magandang takbo ng party. Since then magkasama na sina Adam and Elena. But since she's the host of the party, she have to walk around para makipag-interact with her guests. Napilitang syang iwan pang samantala si Adam. Clark and Jiselle are tailing her dahil may mga hindi kanais-nais na tao roon. Alam naman nilang dalawa na kaya ni Elena harapin ang tatlo but still, hindi iiwan nina Jiselle si Elena mag-isa.
Halos lahat ng kinamusta ni Elena at bahagyang kinausap ay nagrequest ng picture with her. She's okay with it dahil picture lang naman. Isa pa, sila na mismo ang magkakalat sa public ng existence ng El Santi. Win-win lang.
Hindi pa nya nababati ang lahat ng naroroon dahil sa dami nila. However, inuna na nyang lapitan ang mga tao nagpasakit sa kaniya noon.
"I do hope you're enjoying the party." There is a pure and sweet smile in her lips. Imbes na galit ang iganti nya sa mga taong ito, bakit hindi na lang sya manatiling mabuti makitungo sa kanila? She will remember her mom's words until her last breath.
Tumayo ng mabilis si Carmelita and she offer her to hand to Elena. "Hi, hija. My name is Carmelita."
Kinuha ni Elena ang kamay ng matanda and she's pleased to shake hands with her.
"Hello, ma'am. Good evening." She greeted her back.
"Amazing. I actually met you before, noong birthday nitong si Marichel. We had small interaction but I thought you're so kind. Hanggang ngayon you're still the same despite of being successful." Hindi mapigilan ni Carmelita ang bunganga. Alam naman ni Elena na hindi maiiwasang mabring up ang nakaraan kaya expected na nya na mahalungkat ang mga nangyari noon.
Elena laugh inwardly but sweetly. "Thank you po."
"Hi, tita Marichel, Caleb and Kylie. Aren't you gonna congratulate Elena?" Clark intently mention them.
Carmelita go back to her seat. Masama ang tingin ni Marichel sa kaibigan. After seconds of having an annoyed expression, mabilis na binago ni Marichel ang hitsura. Ngumiti sya kay Elena and then sobrang papuri ang pinarating nya sa babaeng hindi nya gusto noon.
"Hay, nako. Balingbing talaga..." Jiselle whispered as she innocently roll her eyes.
Narinig ni Marichel ang bulong na iyon ng kapatid ni Elena kaya napatingin sya dito ng masama.
"C-congratulations, Elena." Bati ni Caleb na hindi makatingin sa dating asawa.
"Thank you." She quickly replied. "Uhmn... I'm sorry, I have to go to the other guests... sorry hindi ko kayo maa-accomodate ng hands on."
"No, no its okay. We're going actually. May party pa kami ni Kylie na iniwan." Caleb said right away as he intertwined his fingers to Kylie.
Elena look at their fingers. There was no pain, or kahit sobrang kakarampot na pagseselos. Kung noon pa, noong mahal pa nya si Caleb siguro ay nagpupuyos na sya sa galit. But it's differet now.
Akala ni Caleb he will see the same eyes na nakikita nya noon kay Elena. Akala nya may makikita syang sakit, yung ebidensya na mahal na mahal sya nito. But unlike before, ngayon ay nagawa pa nyang ngumiti kahit hawak kamay sila ni Kylie na nakaharap sa kanya.
"If you're already leaving, can you wait a little longer? Magpapahanda lang ako ng giveaways."
"Actually, I will stay. Hindi naman nila ako kasama." Pagbaliktad ni Marichel kayna Caleb.
"Ako din, I will stay!" Carmelita butted in kahit hindi naman sya kasali sa concern.
Kylie personally send the invitation of her event to Marichel pero dito pa talaga sya pumunta? She's unbelievable old witch! She cursed in her mind.
