Meet them

~Sunny Alvarez Celestine POV~

Noisy atmosphere, fragrant food, children running outside, and round tables set outside the house. Today is celebrating the debut of my best friend slash cousin. Yes! you read it right. She is now eighteen she is a year older than me. It was the first day of her debut so they were all making her birthday pompous.

"I'm so excited boo!" happy opening her cousin as she prepares the meals. I can see in her beautiful eyes how happy she is. Who wouldn't be excited about a debut?

"Will you ask me if I'm excited?" she asked sarcastically here. But instead of asking him, she just stared at her so she laughed. She always teases her friend or better yet she wants to see it get angry with him. She didn't know why she wanted to tease it as long she knew was happy to see it with him.

"I don't care what you say, I might get angry and I might slap you with this sheet pan I'm carrying!" she was really very brutal that's why she doesn't have a boyfriend.

"what are you going to do there?" she asked afterward. Now she just noticed that she was holding it because she was busy arranging the food so she didn't notice that she was carrying something.

"oh! here, mom sends it to slap your thick face." instead of being annoyed with her cousin, she just laughed because she knew that she is easing angered by jokes with him.

"that's what you shouldn't do lest I lose my beautiful face." she joke. It just smirked at him so she smiled widely.

it just shook him "... Yeah, and for what else have you been celestine if you are not beautiful." she's right. Not to brag but we are really beautiful.

After a useless conversation, they decided to go back to their work. I send Estel back in the house so that she can fix herself, cause she needs to be beautiful later. She can only be beautiful once so make the most of it. My cousin is a beautiful woman so I won't be surprised if many boys like her but sadly no one tried to court her because she is an amazon. A brutal woman.

"Hija, please help your uncle with the food then please just bring it out here, thank you boo." his aunt called his attention. Are you wondering why they call me boo? Honestly, I don't know either as long as I'm used to them calling me by that name but boo is not really my name I have a name and boo is not my name and I can't even ask them that because of the fact that I don't care what they call me.

Anyways she is my Aunt myleen. She has only two sons, both boys. The eldest is my close cousin because he is just quiet then when we are just the two us together we do pure nonsense. While the youngest of them is loudly and reprimanding only once we talk let's just say that we are not very close. I also don't know why. The three of us used to play and get along when we were kids but times go fly when we were young we are not the same kids before because even though they are siblings, they don't get along very well anymore. And that's the sad part for me I want to go back to the time that we played but I think that well never gonna happen again.

She took what was to be taken from the kitchen, she took out the finished dishes while his cousin was preparing for his birthday. When she unloaded the food she went back to the kitchen and helped his uncle Lito cook.

"Hija, have you thought about the school you're going to go to? The school is coming up, it'll only be a few months." His uncle asked him while they were cooking. Another thing, I haven't been able to think about the school I'm going to go to. I'm not sure if it's in manila or Pampanga.

"Not yet, uncle, I'm still thinking. I just wanted to be here but I'm also thinking that I can continue my studies there in Manila so that I can be with my dad and siblings." his uncle nodded at him. We are a broken family, we are torn apart, my sister and brother are with my father while my brother and I are with my mother. It's not because mom and I choose who we go with, it's painful for us to split up our family but we can't do anything. I just thought of coming with my mom so that she wouldn't be sad and so that she wouldn't think that no one loves her child that's why my brother and I are there to make our mom happy.

"It's good then. Your dad and your siblings miss you too. I still remember a few years ago when your mom brought you here, you're brother was still small. Now that you're a big girl, I know you can handle yourself and you already know what's right and wrong so I don't need to tell you anymore because I know Carmelita raised you very well. Next year you will be the one to have a debut and you can do whatever you want to do. Our whole family is here for you and support for you." she smiled at her uncle. I can wait to experience a debut I wish we were with my whole family when that happened.

After a long time, they also finished. She looks at the clock near noo, she also needed to get dressed, and then she would dress his brother. He sniffed himself and that's how she frowned when she smelled sweat as well as the smell that stuck to his close.

She looks at her uncle Lito who still hadn't finished cooking noodles. She wanted to help his uncle but she didn't have time. I needed to get ready for us, maybe Estel would scold me. That woman was very brutal

"Tito Lito, I'll be ahead of you, I want to help you but you know Estel, you know her mother's Inheritance" her uncle laughed at what she said. It is true that she and his mother were so cruel that they even beat my mom if they could give a sermon. But my auntie is nice... Sometimes

"Your aunt inherited her traits from your grandmother so what your aunt turned out to be is your grandmother's traits. Maybe your grandma conceived out of resentment so that's the outcome" Tito and I both laughed at what he said.

Before their conversation with his uncle ended, she said goodbye to her. She just walked home to their house. Our house is close by, You can only cross by, You can only cross three streets and our house is on the fourth street. Our house is just a two-story house. Estel is theirs up to the third floor. Aunt Myleen lives in Manila, so do Aunt fea

She was immediately greeted by his brother's hug when he arrived at their house. She smiled at it as she looked at her brother who was wrapped around her waist.

"Ate your home!" she pinched her red cheeks

"Yeah, where is mom?" she asked his brother who was still hugging his waist and looking at him. How adorable.

"Mom is not here she's with grandma," he said in a small voice. She knelt down to make them look at each other and she pinched his cheeks and kissed him.

"Alright let's just wait for mom at their Aunt Sandra's house. Is that okay with you?" he nodded so she smiled at him.

"Now go to the bathroom and turn on the water so I can bathe you" he follower her and went to the bathroom

Asher is now five years old. It also has a round face that he inherited from mom and long lashes that he inherited from dad. Asher's cheeks are red that's why I always pinched his cheeks. Many people tell us that it's like we are twins. We have thin lips and the only difference is that our eyebrows because Asher's eyebrows are thin while mine is only moderately thick. I also have a small face, round eyes but not very big, red lips that I inherited from mom, and a medium-pointed nose.

Many have tried to court me but I did not answer at least one of them. It's not that they forbid me to have a boyfriend or "study first" in fact they want me to have a boyfriend because they were afraid that I will grow old alone. But I'm not afraid in fact I'd rather be alone in life than having a boyfriend. Because when you have a boyfriend everything is forbidden to you, it seems like you will lose the right to be free, even the clothes! God Who wouldn't be choked by that? So I prefer to be alone than having a boyfriend cause you can do whatever you like and nothing will stop you and there is no obstacle.

After I took Asher bath and dressed, I took care of myself. I don't have to put anything on my body. It's not to brag but it's natural for us Celestine to have a smooth and white skin.

After I took a shower I went to my room to get dressed. I just took the gift dress from me and my sister before my birthday. I can only use it now because I don't wear dresses I prefer some pants and rubber shoes. I also don't wear a short cause it's not my type to wear. Some people say I'm not a girl! FYI I'm really a girl I have a freaking boobs duh?! and it's not based on the dress if you're a woman or a man! Isn't it possible that I don't wear too revealing on the body. But since it's my cousin's birthday let's make an excuse for this.

I wore my short sleeve close waist thin dress. It is red with a dot print. I let my long hair down to my waist and put on my white high heels that are only three inches high.

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled at how I looked. I'm so gorgeous. Is this really me? Unbelievable I'll do something better when I fix myself.

When I got down, my eyes immediately searched for Asher. I didn't have a hard time finding him because I saw him in the living room watching Spongebob. I called him so he looked at me. I lauged when I saw his reaction. It was full of astonishment and shock. I can't blame my brother because this is the first time I looked like this.

"Wow! you're so beautiful!" he smiled at her and pinched her cheek. Very cute Indeed

"You're also handsome in what you're wearing" His cheeks became even redder so he bit his lower lip so hard. He was really handsome in his tuxedo. Even though he has a little bulge on his stomach. He looks like Winnie the Pooh! But even so, he still does not lose the beauty he has.

How cute!

She and his brother left their house and used the car to go to his aunt's house. When they arrived at his aunt's house, she immediately parked the car in front of his aunt's house. There were also many people when they arrived. I know the other here even went home to the Philippines just to attend my cousin's debut

Wow just wow!

She and his brother entered the house. She saw his aunt and uncle steph taking a picture with Estel. His Aunt Myleen noticed her so she and her brother came over and do the honoring gesture. When Tito Steph saw asher, his uncle couldn't help but laugh at asher. He said that he could take the place of Winnie The Poo only when my brother answered with a snout, then Tito loaded asher and pinned his cheek and Asher giggled because of what uncle Steph did to her.

Her Aunt's attention went to her. She was so embarrassed immediately but his aunt told him and praised him. She smiled because she didn't expect this to happen, she thought he would be told because of what she was wearing. It's not that his aunt forbids him to wear this kind of short, it seems like it too prepares me to wear things like this, not the pure pants I'm wearing. My dress isn't too short, it's only knee-length

She looked at Estel so he called her. His smile never faded when she approached her and couldn't help but to amazed to see his wholeness. She is very beautiful in her blue dress, there is still a little balloon inside her gown but that makes her gown even more beautiful. She looks like a princess in her own way but she doesn't have a prince.

"You're beautiful"

"I know right? Just don't make it too obvious that I'm beautiful because I know I've been really beautiful since my mom gave birth to me, I'm getting even more beautiful every day"

How is the air in your body? You even overcame a strong storm because of your wind!

"Wow, you're so complacent. It's just the first day you've been beautiful, what are you saying there every day? Maybe every day you're getting uglier." she shouted when his cousin hit him on the arm that's why their aunt looked at them but they just gave her a smile and looked at each other badly.

She would have spoken but uncle Steph preceded him. He was told if she would be the emcee today. At first, she didn't agree because she didn't know how to be an emcee! But because of his cousin's insistence, she could do nothing but consent to his uncle's wishes.

After we talked, it occurred to us to go out. I was holding Asher in my hand and when we came out. Mom and Grandma arrived. Maybe they bought a gift for Estel. Asher ran with him after I approached my mom and do the honoring gesture, Estel did the same. They even greeted her and then took Estel to her seat

The program also started and as Tito told me, I did what I had to finish. Later I will understand people's views as long as after I finish here I will actually change my clothes! I'm really embarrassed!

I took a deep breath before I start speaking.

" As an innocent child, we used to get too excited to add a number to our age. Some of us even get envious of those who reached the legal age of eighteen because they can do pretty much everything and can even decide on their own." she took a deep breath and resume speaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! And welcome to the party of Estel! Please find yourself a comfortable seat and enjoy this once in a lifetime" she looked at Estel. Her cousin just smiled at her and raised her thumb and told her she did a great job! She smiled at his cousin and continue speaking

"Tonight calls a grand celebration of a young girl who longed to wear a beautiful gown, be introduced as a young lady to the general public, and soon enter the world of adulthood. Her long wait is over because the night that she has been longing for her whole life has finally come"

A video of Estel from her childhood until she grew up was shown on the screen. We have there a video of Estel how we played in the sandbox she couldn't help herself and she smiled too. It was the happy day in her life that she will never forget. It was also shown that uncle Steph was teaching him to swim. Until the end of the video, people watching will inevitably cry.

She looked at what they were doing aunt Sandra and she couldn't help but be jealous of the family they had. Even with a little sulk, Tito Steph makes away so their fight doesn't escalate.

How I wish I have a happy family like yours...

~Aiden Grail Rouis Reigo POV~

"Aiden!"

"I love you Aiden! Waaaahhhhh!!"

"Aiden here!"

"Sir Aiden get in the car," he said. He is busy getting the attention of his fans when his bodyguard called him

Well what can I say? I am handsome Indeed.

He even managed to wink at them to cause the screaming noises to make his fans even louder. He chuckled after he got inside the car. He had just finished his concert and his body and voice were very tired. He just wanted to rest and lie down on his soft bed.

He leaned his body in the backseat and closed his eyes to rest even just for a moment. He was very drowsy and at the same point his body might give up due to fatigue. Fvck! I'm so tired! This is the last concert he attended. He attended four-concert each day and I had no rest! He wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow he felt bad.

"You have a flight tomorrow to the Philippines." That's how his eye awoke when he heard what his bodyguard said.

"What?!" Fvck! I thought I could rest tomorrow because I knew I don't have any more concerts to attend! What are his reason and thought for changing the plan?! Can he give me a fvcking break?!

He was so annoyed that he called his manager. His cellphone was about to break because of the force of his press on it. I am so fvcking angry right now!

"Aiden? What with the sudden call?"

"Can you give me a damn fvcking break?"

"I am" he clenched his jaw. He was pissed by his answer and it seemed to want to shoot it!

I have a gun license so no worries.

"By sending me to the Philippines? Really?! Can you call that a fvcking break?!" he heard him sigh on the other line. He was so annoyed with his manager if he could just shoot him he would not hesitate to heat his head with a bullet!

"I am sending you to the Philippines because I know that's the proper place for you." he touched his nose bridge and close his eyes emphatically

"And who the fvck are you to decide what I want?!" he heard her sigh and looked angry with what he had done. And who was he to be angry?! I am even more pissed with him!

" You don't have to worry because all you have to do there is take a vacation and rest!" it looked like his manager was pissed by his behavior so he couldn't help but shout at him on the other line. He calmed himself and sighed. If he said earlier right?

"And why in the Philippines if there is another place to go?"

"Why? Do you know which country you want to be on vacation in? Nothing right?! And one more thing. don't you dare underestimate that country, maybe you forgot that I came from there? I might feed you with sand there if you can only see the beauty of the ocean there!" My manager and being his lecture

"Fine, Philippines then." he was no longer able to hear his manager's answer because he quickly ended the call.

Thankfully, after the fatigue he suffered, he can rest as well.
