ALIYAH'S POV

The day before our engagement, everyone is too busy organizing things for the biggest event of the year. My parents are so excited, sending late invites to some of our relatives, and their friends.

Reid's family, on the other hand, is also preparing for the final touch of the event. Sinabi sa akin ni Papa na maraming business tycoon ang dadating, hindi lang 'yon, pati ang mga shareholders ng dalawang kumpanya ay imbitado, ang mga outstanding employees, may mga media ring darating.

Reid is probably preparing too. Bago umalis ng bahay ay pinakita sa akin ni Mama ang guidelines of ceremony ng engagement party. He has to share a speech with everyone because it's not only our engagement that they are looking forward to; it's the merging of the two companies. Since he's the CEO of their growing company, he needs to have a little talk in front of his crowd. Our parents will do the same, samantalang ako? I'm a hundred percent wallflower.
