TINA
Jiego and I exchanged looks. Wherever Aaron Sy is, there will always be trouble. Mom and Dad looked at me, waiting to be introduced to the newly-arrived guest.
Jiego cleared his throat and stood up, saving me the trouble.
“Mr. and Mrs. Fuego, this is Aaron Sy. He’s my uncle. These are my fiance’s parents, uncle.”
Aaron was smiling throughout the quick introduction. Then, he stretched out his hand to my Dad. The latter stood up and shook his hand. So did mom. Finally, he sat down next to Jiego.
“What did I miss?” – he asked as his food was served in his plate
“Nothing. Tina’s parents would be staying in the manor until the wedding. We need more hands with the preparations and who else would I ask about Tina’s preference but her parents themselves?” – Jiego said, reaching for my hand and held it.
“We’d like to be here for our daughter as much as we can. I know how nervous and jittery she can be.” – Mom joked and Dad smiled
Aaron looked at them… then at me.
