Fighting Love [Fake Boyfriend Part 2]

Chapter Thirty Seven

3 years ago...

"Elizabeth baby?" Tawag ni mommy sa akin mula sa pintuan. Nilingon ko siya while stuffing chocolates at my mouth.

"Po?" I paused the t.v nang lumapit ito sa akin.

"Hindi pa ba siya handa?" Tanong ni daddy mula sa labas ng kwarto ko. He peaked and raised his brows at me before walking away.

I giggled.

"What ready po? Are you going somewhere with dad, mommy?"

She sat beside me and wiped my mouth with tissue. Ang dungis ko talaga kumain ng chocolates.

"We're going somewhere. Remember that we will be attending a party, right?" Taas kilay na tanong nito.

Shoot!

I totally forgot about it. Tiniklop ko ang labi ko.

"Pwede bang I won't attend?" Pagpapacute ko. I'm watching phineas and ferb kasi!

"Get ready. We'll be out in an hour" she kissed my forehead before heading towards the door "wear your new dress"

"Which one? The red? White? Or the sparkling one?"

"You look great in anything" she winked before closing the door. So should I wear the three?

Napanguso ako. Ayaw kong umalis dito sa kama ko! Hindi ko rin naman kilala ang mga taong nandoon. And obviously, ipapakilala lang din naman ako. Yun lang ata ang activity ko.

Besides eating and eating.

Iniwan ko ang mga pagkain sa kama ko at hindi na naisipang iligpit. The maids are there to clean that up. What's the job for if I'm the one who's going to clean the mess?

Naligo muna ako bago pumili ng susuotin. I can't really choose one! My room may be boyish even though I want to change it na since he left me, but I still want girly clothes because I'm a girl, right?

I looked at myself in the mirror while putting on the clothes.

"I'm pale so, white will make me look like a dead person" nakasimangot na sabi ko at hinagis ang white and tried the sparkling one.

"It's nice!" Umikot ako para mafeel ang damit pero nang tumapat ulit ako sa salamin ay napasimangot ako. Hindi pala ganun na bagay sa akin.

I threw the dress away. I smiled when I saw the red dress. Kinuha ko ito and without looking at the mirror, sinuot ko na ito kaagad.

Red is perfect for me. Kaya hindi ko na kailangang tignan kung bagay ba sa akin ang suot ko dahil alam ko na din naman ang sagot.

When I looked at the mirror. Damn! I look gorgeous!

*knock*knock*

"Come in" sabi ko, not taking away my glance at the mirror. Argh! Why am I so pretty?

"Mom asked me to do your make up" kunot noo kong nilingon si ate Joy.

"Why would I need make up? Am I not pretty enough without make up?" I said in a soft voice. I have insecurities too. Lahat naman ng tao. Pero isa din sa rason ko kung bakit ko sinabi iyan ay dahil tamad akong magtanggal ng makeup bago matulog.

She smiled and faced me to the mirror.

"You're beautiful with or without make up"

"So why do I need na magsuot ng make up?" Tanong ko ulit. Nagkibit balikat ito at tumawa. Napabuga nalang ako ng hangin at hinayaan na siyang lagyan ako ng make up.
