Minah's POV

Four o'clock palang gising na kami ni Ren. Grabe. Pa'no ba naman mamayang Eight o'clock na 'yung start ng program.

Nandito kami sa bahay nila Ren ngayon. Actually gising na rin si Red, siya kasi 'yung kasabay kong pumunta dito since si Ren ay dito na natulog.

"Minah you look fabulous." Tita Raine said. Yung mom nila Red. Sabi kasi niya tita nalang itawag ko sa kanya.

Naiingit nga 'ko kila Red eh, kase meron silang supportive mom unlike me.

"Thanks tita." I said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to see your parents. I was wondering kamukha mo kaya 'yung mom mo? Kasi if yes baka mag kasundo kami no'n." She said happily. As if. Never kayong magkakasundo tita. NEVER.

"My dad. Hindi pa'ko pinapanganak when my dad leave us.."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that."

I smiled.

"No it's okay. Si mom naman lagi pong busy sa works."

"You mean hindi siya makakarating mamaya?"

"Yes." I simply said.

"'Yan perfect! Bagay na bagay sa'yo. Mag re-retouch ka nalang mamaya." Ngiting ngiting sabi nung bakla.

"So maya maya susuot mo na 'yung pang opening dress mo, para pag inayos 'yung buhok mo hindi siya gaanong magugulo." Kuya Haida said. 'Yung baklang nag aayos sa'kin.

"Oh ang aga niyong nag hahanda ah." Tito Renz said habang pababa ng hagdan at may dalang cup of coffee.

"Gano'n talaga mahal, We need to prepare for this." Tita Raine said. Funny how sweet they are kahit na 23 years na silang kasal.

Perong grabe hindi mo halata sa edad nila yung face nila. They look so young. Mga mid20s.

"Oh. Ang gwapo talaga ng baby boy ko. Manang mana kay daddy."
Tito Renz said then laugh.
Ren glare at him.

"Dad I'm not a baby anymore." Ren said.

"But you're acting like a baby." Sabat ni Red then laugh.

"Red is right." Tita Raine said.

Totoo nga. Ang gwapo ni Ren. Sobrang nakaka-inlove 'yung ginawang style ng hair niya na messy hair. Mas lalo siyang naging hot. Naalala ko nung nag pa-practice kami ng sayaw. Pinapanood ko siyang mag practice at grabe super galing niya.

"Hoy Demi! Hindi mo man lang ba 'ko ipagtatanggol?" Aba! Ba't nadamay ako?

"Why would she? Diba Demi?" Red said sabay akbay sa'kin.

"Woah! Seems like everybody is here." Nakita namin si Ate Rydel na pababa ng hagdan naka pajamas pa siya. Kagigising lang niya I guess?

"Good morning ate." Salubong ni Ren.

"Aww. Ang gwapo naman ng lil' brother ko. Ang sweet pa." Ate Rydel said.

"I told you. I'm not a baby or a lil' brother anymore. Can't you see? I'm a man." He said.

"As if." Red said then laugh.

"Oww. Ang gwapo talaga ng dalawang kapatid ko." Ate Rydel said proudly.

"Syempre may pagmamanahan." Tito Renz said then smirk.

"Talagang may pagmamanahan at ako 'yon." Tita Raine said.

Nasa back stage na kami ng stage. Kinakabahan ako. Ilang minuto nalang mag sta-start na.

Si Ren kinakausap pa nung manager nila Red.
