Chun cha POV
I walked into the massive living room and another “wow” escaped my mouth.
Above are shimmering chandeliers, looking exquisite. Am I by chance in the president's house? Why does everything have to look gorgeous?
The environment alone left me in awe, I took my time to stared around before a maid finally led me in. I watched the men and women at work, as they decorate every single place, my presence wasn't even noticeable.
“You're welcome, miss” I suddenly heard a feminine voice at my back and I almost flinch, but was quick to composed myself.
I turned around and saw a young lady, neatly dressed in a maid attire. “This way, miss” She offered a friendly smile and which I responded before walking ahead.
We walked for a very long time before we finally got to our destination.
I heaved a small sigh with relief.
How can a house be huge as this?
I watched as the maid bent the doorknob before stepping. “She's here?” I heard a child's voice from inside.
“Come in, miss,” The maid gestured at me.
I walked into the room and my eyes met with a cute and charming little girl- she's beautiful. She smiled at me,, but I bowed a little in greetings instead.
“Come on miss, you don't bow to a child” She corrected, while sitting on the enormous bed. I just smiled before walking to her.
I dropped the makeup box on the dressing table before turning to the maid.
“You can leave” She bowed lightly before turning to leave. “Happy birthday dear” I said to her with a genuine smile, her smile grew wider. “Thanks miss”
“So, are you ready?”
She nodded with excitement.
“I couldn't get enough sleep last night, all my thoughts were centered on this big day of mine,” She grinned, and I chuckled.
She stood up and sat on the stool opposite the mirror. “You'll make me look beautiful, right?” She asked with a pout, and my mind traveled to Audrey.
I hope she has finally settled for a dress, she almost delays me this morning because of that. She didn't seem to like all the dresses I had chosen for her.
“You're beautiful dear, much make up won't be needed,” I told her.
She chuckled softly before facing the mirror.
She's so smart.
In a short period of time,
“Oh my goodness!” She exclaimed, staring at her face in the mirror. “Is this me?” She asked me with a surprise look.
I just smiled and nodded, returning the tools to their right positions. “Whoa. You're indeed great, miss!” She praised me and I think I blushed.
She continued checking herself in the mirror.
“I hope you like it?”
She turned to me and raised her brows.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Of course, I love it!” She said happily and twirled around.
Funny.
“I'm glad you love it”
She went to her bed and picked her cellphone and I watched as she picked a paper on the dressing table, before pressing her phone.
“Uhm mm…but why haven't I seen your mom around?” I asked her after I was done arranging the makeup tools.
“She might probably be occupied with some things, I don't know,” She replied with a light shrug, not looking up from the phone she was pressing. Uhm mm… Should I just call her?
“Hi, Audrey” She said to the phone, smiling widely. I frowned- Audrey?
“I'm sorry I didn't come to your class since the day I brought the invitation card, I hope you're still coming”
'Cut the crap Chun cha, your daughter is not the only person who goes by the name Audrey' My subconscious mind scolded, I nodded in agreement. True.
“Please don't be late,” She said before hanging up.
She threw her phone to the bed and danced funnily towards the closet.
She's indeed happy.
“Uh mm… Your friend name is Audrey?”
I know I shouldn't be asking this, but curiosity wouldn't stop eating me up.
She glanced at me with a smile on her face and nodded. “Yes, miss”
“We both attend the same school, she's my senior though, she's in grade Eleven while I'm in Grade Ten” She responded with enthusiasm and faced the closet again.
After she was done talking, my mouth fell open. What?
I searched for my phone inside my purse and brought it out, I quickly went through my gallery for Audrey pictures.
I must satisfy my curiosity.
“Is this…the Audrey you just spoke with?” I asked her, taking some steps closer to show her Audrey picture.
She collected my phone and nodded quickly.
“Yes, she's the same Audrey”
'”So you're Kwa young?” I asked in disbelief.
“How did you know my name?” She asked with popped eyed. “Oh… My mom told you?” She added, but I shook my head, negatively.
“I knew your name because Audrey is my daughter, and she already informed me about your birthday party,” I told her with a light smile. Her eyes widened in surprise and I nodded. She let out a small scream before jumping on me. “I'm sorry for addressing you as miss earlier, I never knew you're Audrey's mom,” She apologized after we disengaged from the hug. “It's fine, dear”
“Now I know where Audrey has gotten her looks and kind-hearted from”
I only grinned, I was speechless.
“So you and Audrey will be leaving after the party, right?” She asked with raised brows.
I sighed softly.
“Kwa young…”
The sound of the door interrupted me, we both turned back to saw Kwa young's mom walking in, with her shoulders up as usual.
“Mom”
Kwa young rushed to her mom.
“Look at me, I look beautiful, right?
Her mom smiled down at her.
“You're always beautiful, sweetheart,” She leaned down and kissed her cheeks.
She met my gaze and I quickly gave a little bow.
“Mom, could you believe this is actually Audrey's mom?” Kwa young told her mom, I smiled. “You mean the same Audrey at your school?” Her mom asked her, with a hint of surprise in her voice. “Yes, mom”
“Whoa… What a great coincidence!” She said, I looked up with a small smile.
“Yeah, it's a pleasure to meet you” I offered a handshake, but the look she shot me in return was what I couldn't comprehend.
Uh mm…
“I want to believe my sweetheart is prepared” A young man strode in, after a brief knock on the door.
“Oh my world… Is this my princess?!? He asked, astonished. “Yes, Dad” Kwa young grinned. Her Dad bent over and pressed his lips to her cheeks.
I smiled and glanced at Kwa young's mom,, and she still held that same look she had shot me earlier. What's up with her?
“Dad, meet the makeup artist which happens to be Audrey's mom as well” Kwa young introduced, I looked down at my feet,
“Really?”
“Whoa… My daughter has told me many nice things about your daughter, and I really can't wait to meet her tonight”
“And of course I'm impressed with the wonders you've done to my daughter's face”He joked, I laughed before lifting my head to exchange the pleasantry, but my heart jumped to my stomach immediately I registered the face.
He also stared at me with shock.
“Chun cha?” He mumbled.
Oh, my…
He's Kwa young's Dad?
Meaning Kwa young and Audrey are sisters?
