Chapter 4: Party
Nagising ako ng may maramdaman akong nakatitig saakin, pagmulat ko ng mata ay isang lalaking hindi pamilyar ang tumambad sakin, napabangon agad ako.
Nakangiti siya, pero agad din yung nawala ng makita niyang gising nako.
Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng bigla itong bumukas
"Lex, Tara na-" napatigil sa pagsasalita si axel ng makita niyang gising nako
"Ahh Viana-" naputol ang sasabihin ni Axel ng magsalita yung lalaking tinawag niyang Lex.
"Viana.." biglang sabi nito tsaka ngumiti, pagkatapos ay agad nawala
Napakurap nalang ako ng ilang beses dahil sa nangyari.
"I-i need to go" nagmamadaling sabi ni Axel
Napaupo ako sa kama habang hawak ang dibdib ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko, nagpaulit ulit sa isip ko ang boses nung lalaki habang sinabi ang pangalan ko, masarap sa pandinig ang boses niya, hindi ko alam kung bakit pero gustong gusto kung marinig ulit ang boses niya.
Pinilit kong alisin sa isip ko ang ideyang iyon, pumunta ako sa balkonahe para bakalmahin ang sarili ko.
Hapon na, masarap sa pakiramdam ang hangin, pinikit ko ang mata ko para damhin ang pagdampi ng hangin sa balat ko.
Nanatali ako sa ganong posisyon ng ilang minuto, napadilat ako ng may marinig akong nagbukas ng pinto.
"Lady Viana, kaylangan niyo napong maghanda" mahinhin na Sabi ni Eleena, nagulat ako sa tinawag niya sakin pero agad din naman akong nakabawi.
Tumango lang ako tsaka sumunod sakanya, kagaya ng kanina ay nagbabad ulit ako, pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ay tinawag na niya ako para magbihis.
There are two gowns worn on the mannequin, the first is the gown they sent to our house and then the other is a black Corset gown with diamonds it also includes black gloves up to the arm.
" Saan diyan ang susuotin ko?" I asked Eleena
"Yung gray po" she answered
They made me sit on the chair because they said they would fix my hair, they curled the lower part of my hair and pinned the right side of my hair near the ear, while the left side was left alone, they also put a diamond ring on me and earrings, they didn't change my necklace because it was also beautiful and also matched the color of what I was going to wear.They also put make up on me.
The two helpers removed the gown from the mannequin and put it on me, I had a hard time wearing it because it was big, when I put it on I looked in the mirror, it just fits on me and this color also suits me.
I looked at myself in the mirror, as if I was no longer the former viana who wanted nothing more than to be happy, I looked like a real princess because of what I was wearing.
"Ang ganda niyo po lady Viana" nakangiting Sabi ni Eleena
Ngumiti ako sa kanya dahilan para mas lalong lumawak ang ngiti niya.
They helped me out because I was a bit upset because of what I was wearing, maeve met me outside my room with Axel.
She was wearing the gown that they sent to our house, it was just right for her, she looked even more beautiful because of it, her hair was tied with a messy bun and she also had light make up.
"Viana, oh my god you're so beautiful" she said with amusement on her face
"Ikaw rin, Maeve" I said
"Ladies we need to go, naghihintay na ang mga bisita" pag agaw ni Axel sa atensyon namin.
I was about to walk when Axel stop me.
"Mauuna kami, hintayin mo dito si Lexus sabay kayong bababa" he said then start walking.
Nginitian lang ako ni maeve tsaka sumunod kay Axel, Ugh naiinis nako, pumayag na nga akong pumunta dito tapos kaylangan ko pa siyang sundin, si maeve naman parang Wala lang sakanya to.
Huminga ako ng malalim para pakalmahin ang sarili ko,oo nga pala hindi ko kilala si Lexus, Ugh!
Maya maya pa ay may lalaking nag lalakad palapit saakin, sa tingin ko ay si Lexus na Ito dahil halos lahat ng tao ay nasa baba na kami nalang ni Eleena at dalawang maid ang nandito.
When he was close I immediately recognized him, he was the man in the room I can't go wrong he was that, then suddenly my heart beat fast.
He was wearing a black tuxedo, his eyes were black and his nose was piercing, his lips were red and he had a perfect jawline.
When he approached me he offered his hand, I looked at it and looked back at him.
"Lexus..." I whispered
"Viana..." He whispered back
He offered his hand again and I accepted it, he slung it into his arm. It's like we're going to attend a prom because of how we look.
We started walking I no longer bothered because one of my hands was holding the gown and the other was clinging to her arm. Eleena arranged to stack the end of my gown on the floor.
When we were going down the stairs he suddenly stopped so I stopped too, he put his face close to my ear and whispered.
"Smile, you look so scary" he whispered
I was shocked by what he said , instead of smile I stopped in shock.
He noticed the shock on my face so he touched my chin and brought his face closer.
"Smile" he said in my face
I averted my face, he immediately arranged for us but kept looking at me, I smiled at him and rolled my eyes at him.
I heard his weak laugh but I ignored it, I took his arm again and we started walking.
When we were about to go down I was stopped by so many people and we got their attention, as they looked at me it was as if I was an expensive thing they had been waiting for to arrive.
