Umupo naman kami ulit at may ipinakita sa screen. Napalingon ako kay Ate nuong tumili ito.

"Hi, Lauren! This is me! Felicity. How are you? I miss you so much! I'm really sorry that we are not there to celebrate your birthday but anyhow, I've still got to attend your past birthdays, right? Always remember, be kind in every situation and me and your other two friends are just here will greet you with open arms. See you when you get to visit here! We love you!"

"We are Shara and Kath!"

"Look, twin, they are my best friends since grade school."

"Talaga ba ate? Maganda po iyan."

"We just want to greet you a happy happy birthday! Our Long messages will be read at your room in your house by now and thank you for spending your eight years with us."

"We never thought that this friendship will last long! Me and Kath's gifts are already in your room..."

"My Room? No way!"

"And we hope that you will love it! See you soonest, soon to be Artist!, We love you!"

"That's Shara."

"Please! When you come here, can you please bring your twin sister? We want to meet her."

"And that's Kath."

Biglang hindi na nagsalita si Ate at umiiyak na pala ito. Tumayo ako at ako na ang pumunas sa luha nito habang siya ay niiyakap ako sa gilid ko.

"They're really the best."

"And you are the best too, Ate. You've gained friends and look, we have the same friends that love us."

"Totally..."

Pagkatapos ng video greetings na iyon ay pumunta si Lolo sa harapan.

"Anyways, I would like to have an anounncement here ladies, is that okay with you?" Nagtinginan kami ni Ate saka namin binalingan si Lolo at tumango. Ngumiti ito sa amin at hawak kamay akong bumalik sa upuan.

Magkatabi lang kami ng upuan. Isang metro ang layo ng pagitan. Tinignan ko ng mabuti kung anong itsura niAte.

Siya ay may suot na isang korona sa ibabaw ng ulo nito. Tapos yung hairstyle niya is crisscrossed braid style. Ang kaniyang gown ay pinaresan ng na nakasuot simula sa kamay papuntang siko.

Samantala ako, mayroon ding korona at inayusan ako sa buhok ko ng textured half-up. Kung sa kaniya ay abot siko ang haba ng gloves nito, sa akin ay limang inch lang ang haba mula sa pulsuhan ko pataas. Sa totoo lang, maganda naman ako. Sadyang, ayaw lang ng puso kong umamin.

"Attention, everyone. In relation to my beautiful twin granddaughter's birthday celebration, I would like to seize the opportunity to call my son, ... Ijo? Come join me here on stage."

May pagtataka sa isipan ni Papa habang papunta sa stage. Tumabi ito kay Papa at narinig namin ni Ate yung nga bulungan nila.

"I know, son but please, just this once, sumunod ka." Natawa kami pareho ni Ate ng tumango si Papa ng pilit. "My son, will be the newly CEO of Cassia de Kompanya, Main Company in Asia."

Ngiting sabi ni Lolo habang si Papa napaupo. Niyakap naman ito ni Lolo habang patuloy na umiiyak si Papa.

"Ate? Si Papa ang bagong CEO? Wow! Congratulations Papa!" Masayang pumalakpak kami ni ate.

"Dad? Are you serious? Baka magtampo yung mga kapatid ko sakin."

"Magtigil ka! Walang tampo dahil alam naming mas karapat dapat ka sa pwesto!" I think thats Uncle
