"Baby girl, wake up na. Your mom called, they're waiting for us na." bulong sakin ni Kit.

"Huh?" Nakatulog pala ako. "What time is it? What happened?" sabay kusot ng mata.

"It's past 10am na be. Mag-ayos ka na kasi tumawag na sila Tita, nagaantay na sila sa Palace."

Oo nga pala, birthday ko. May lunch pala kami ng family ko sa Emirates Palace. Agad akong tumayo at naligo at nagayos. I don't usually wear heavy make-up. I just wore a red D&G short dress that I bought few days ago and a black TB flats. I grabbed my Chanel purse and car keys and I'm ready to go.

"Kit, tara na!" I shouted while grabbing the door knob.

"OMG. OMG. OMG. This just in, magkasama si Tyler at ung kabit nya oh!" lumapit sya sakin, hawak ang laptop ko at pinakita. Nakita ko may picture, bagong post lang. Kung ano ang caption, di ko na binasa.

Napa-poker face na lang ako at pilit na niclose ang laptop na hawak ni Kit. "Tara na, alis na tayo." sabi ko.

We got out of my unit and walked to the elevator. Both of us just silent. Ramdam ko pinapakiramdaman ako ni Kit, ako naman, pinipigilan kong magreact kasi masakit sa puso eh. Kumikirot.

Nakarating na kami sa parking lot papunta sa koste ko ng biglang sumigaw si Kit. "Holy mother!! Yan na ba un?" I saw him running towards my dad's advance birthday gift to me, a black and red Dodge Challenger Shaker muscle car. Mahilig kasi talaga ako sa muscle cars. Don't ask me why, gusto ko lang talaga un mukhang gwapong sasakyan tapos makikita ng mga tao, babae ung nagdadrive. Astig, diba?

I nodded while pressing the car key. "Can I drive? Can I drive? Pleaaaseee?"

I rolled my eyes, and gave him the keys. I hopped in the passenger seat while he started the engine.

"Grabe be, your dad is the best talaga! Magkano kaya 'to?" I didn't answered.

He held my hand and said "Be, pwede kahit ngayon lang, wag ka na muna mag paapekto? Mamaya na lang paguwi natin, pero wag muna ngayon, ok?" I nodded.

He started driving and after how many minutes, nasa Palace na kami kaagad. Nagpa valet parking na lang kami at dumirecho sa restaurant kung saan nagaantay ang parents at mga kapatid ko. Yes, you read it right, mga kapatid. I have two older brothers. Si Chase, 26, at si Zac, 25.

Dumerecho na kami ni Kit sa Cascades, kung saan sinalubong kami ng isang waiter. "Miss Alessandra, Mr. Kit, welcome back! Your family is waiting for you." sabi nya habang tinuturo ang lugar kung nasaan nakapwesto ang family ko.

"Alessandra! My little girl. Happy birthday!" welcome sakin ng dad ko. We hugged and he kissed me on my cheeks. "I missed you baby. You seemed to be a little thinner than before. Have you been ditching food again?" umiling ako at niyakap ulit sya.
