We strolled into stalls and buy many things along the way. Rose and I decided to watch a movie first before lunch. We are I our usual get up as Mera and Zam. I am wearing a simple off-shoulder blue dress with a ribbon on my waist. I am wearing light make-up and wearing the necklace dad given me and our friendship necklace. I partnered my dress with a blue wedge with gemstones designed on the straps. Mera is also wearing 3-inch pink pumps, Expensive earing and our friendship necklace, heavy makeup, gray shorts revealing her long soft legs, a pink blouse, and a green sling bag are on her shoulder. Her nerdy and simple get up as Rose is gone. “Okay then, let’s just enjoy this day right guys? Tomorrow I have to attend somewhere like Anna. Zyrem, Clide don’t forget that if you will be with me, do not call me Milady or Zarianne. Just call me Anna and in here you are my friends, that I am not the Villaflor’s daughter but rather a f

 “Stay here I’ll call them out so we can go.” Rose said as I nod and sigh. I wait there still thinking about what Rose and I plan to do at the reception of my brother’s wedding after the ceremony. It will be exposing for me but I have to do it since this is the only first time a wedding in our family is as grand as Rafael and Susanah, not even my sister Arsey got married wearing wedding gowns and such, they got married traditionally with their normal clothes. I am surprised when I heard a camera shutter. I look up to see Rose taking a photo of me. “What’s that for?” I ask suspiciously at her as she looks at her cellphone. “For my photo album, I’ll go and call the others.” Rose said as she smiles and turns towards my uncle’s house. I sigh as I stand there feeling so nervous and cold with this off-shouldered gown then I hear

 As we slowly walk towards the crowd of the people who will walk into the church I can hear people talking, I see some of my cousins as Anna and other relatives looking our way with that certain weird look on their faces. “Anna, can we take a picture?” Pam my cousin said and I smile at her. Pam came to my side and wraps her arms over my shoulders as her sister Mabell positioned to take our picture. Pam smiles at me and wave before she left and walks inside the church followed by her sister. “Come on Anna we should get ready.” my partner Allan who is also my cousin said as I just nod and sigh. I take off Clide’s trench coat that I am wearing and my black sling purse. I hand it to Zyrem who returned again when I called to him before my mama could guide them inside the church with Rose. I hand it as I watch him walk into the church with the others. I rub my gow

 “Henry I need your help with doing the written report. I hate reports especially writing them.” I said making Rose laughs as Henry just nod. “Zyrem, Clide we will need a wider space since we will be having some people over to help so kindly clear-up the area. I hope they can make it without letting anyone know that they are coming here. Rose and I will be going out for a while so you will have the space to do what I asked. I will appreciate it so much.” I said directly as I take off my t-shirt automatically making the 3 men turn with red faces. Rose just laughs as I change my clothes. It’s late when I realize that I am not alone in the boarding house like before that is why I suddenly take off my t-shirt. I just acted casually since I don’t want them to see that I was embarrassed about what I did. Luckily when I take off my t-shirt I am wearing a thin pink top. I sigh and walk towards my room

 “You are dress differently but please everyone. Let us see what my granddaughter can present to us. Zam, you may proceed.” my grandfather said with authority making the whole room silent. With the authority and conviction, my grandfather said so it is understandable why everyone feels so threatened by his words. I had noticed that just by staying by his side. He is like a tamed lion that just suddenly become vicious in seconds. I nod and look at Mera who walks towards me. Mera is so sophisticated now with her business attire with her hair twists in a bond in her head and her blue skirt and black stiletto heels. On the other hand, I am just wearing a long sleeve pink with off-shoulder cleavage, skinny jeans, and D'Arcy shoes with my hairs hanging on my back. I heard a gasp on the last aisle. “Mera!” a gasp and soft voice of a woman utters in surprise upon seeing Mera. I look at my fri
