party

Chapter 7

Aliyah point of view

I was wearing simple pants and off shoulder red that I paired with black converse while I kept my hair loose.

I also put on light make up to look presentable before getting off and getting into the van sent by the Chavilires.

This is how they are, when there is an occasion and they want to take us along, they send a car.

But today is the day I will be able to go to the Hacienda again, the last time I went here was when I was 14 years old and I have never been there.

I just turned 21 years old because of Cassey's birthday which will be held later.

"What time is Cassey Mang Nestor's birthday?" he asked the driver who would take us to the airport.

"Tonight at seven o'clock Ma'am, so you were dismissed early." Yes.

It's only eight in the morning but we're on our way to the airport so when we get there we can rest somehow.

It's hard to party with jetlag. "It's great, Sister, I can only get on an airplane now, it's the size of it." said Lily.

My youngest brother is also big, he is 15 years old because we are also six years apart in age.

"I'm the second one, haven't I been there before?"

"Yes, but Sister, aren't the Chavilires handsome? I see some of them on TV and they really look like Greek gods." I laughed at what he said.

They were really handsome, they weren't very mature when I went there, but I immediately saw that they were very handsome as if they were gods living on earth.

I can't help but stop thinking about Hercules again. How is it? I haven't had any news here because like Cassey, he has also gone to America.

Will he attend his cousin's party later?

I shrugged and sighed. I don't have the things that happened before, maybe he was tripped up and he was just scaring me that's why he did that to me.

And one more thing, it's been so long, I'm sure he's forgotten me or what happened between the two of us.

When we arrived at their hacienda in Cebu, what was my reaction when I was a child, my reaction is still the same today.

The hacienda became more beautiful, the mansion seemed to grow bigger and more luxurious. It is covered with glasses so you can see what it looks like inside.

Mang Nestor let us in and Mama and Lily were both gaping. A fly can enter their mouth.

"Mom, Lily, maybe a fly got into your mouth." they both looked at me before we entered.

Aunt Emily appeared with her husband Uncle Xander who seemed to be ordering the helpers who were busy preparing and organizing the party that would take place here later.

They looked at us and their eyes widened before welcoming us "Oh my! Aliyah Iha!" they approached us so I quickly kissed them.

They looked at Mama and Lily with a smile "So this is your Mom and your Little Sister." I nodded and Mama immediately smiled at them.

"It's me, I'm glad to see you in person Maam Emily, Sir Xander." Aunt Emily laughed and Mom smiled jokingly.

"You're very formal Riyah, just Emily and Xander ok?" Mama just nodded at them and they talked about things again.

When we go to the family gatherings of the Chavilires, we always find that Cassey's parents are not there, so it is no wonder that Mama treats them like this.

"So welcome to our house, Manang Koring please tell Cassey that her best friend is already here." Uncle Xander said as he sat us down on the black sofa in the living room.

"It's so beautiful Sister, the expensive stuff is scary to touch." Lily whispered.

He is right, the interior is very beautiful and there are many changes in the arrangement of the house. Also used are expensive ultimo bases with diamonds attached.

I think no matter how many years I work, I won't be able to buy that. "Yes, don't try to touch it because it might break, remember I'll pay if you break any of those." He snorted at what I said so I just laughed at him.

"Oh my gosh Aliyah!" we looked at the stairs at the same time and Cassey came down wearing a summer dress.

A smile appeared on my lips and I was still a little stunned. Because she is so beautiful, far away from the Cassey I knew before.

"You're so beautiful." he laughs and even when he laughs it's beautiful to hear and seems like he's shouting when he's in class.

"You too, you're so beautiful. I guess you have a boyfriend?" I shook my head quickly.

"No, but if William is going to be my boyfriend why not?" when I specified the action star who had been his partner before in a movie.

"You like him? I'll walk you, he'll be at the party later." My eyes widened at what he said.

"Really!?"

"Yeah, after all he's a friend of Calculus so I also invited him." I swallowed several times. I just don't want to jump in excitement.

I still have a crush on him, because he's handsome. Besides, I can't believe that I will see him without paying money later.

Usually, if you want to see the artist you want, you have to buy a ticket when they have a concert because that's the only time you'll have the chance to see them.

I'm just lucky and Cassey is my friend.

We went to the guest room that was lent to us. My room is separate from Mom's room. Lily and Mama were the only ones sharing a room while I was separated.

I looked at the big window downstairs. I was stunned for a moment when I remembered Yno, the man who was my friend here before.

How is he? Is he okay? Maybe later I will try to ask him a question so we can talk.

"Breaking news! The only one of the Reid family, Serena Reid, has suddenly disappeared from their home and it is suspected that the most wanted criminal, Exodus, is the perpetrator because he left knives in the girl's room which is also seen in every murder he commits."

"Now the Reid family is offering a reward of 10 million to anyone who can find the criminal Exodus and save their son."

Serena's appearance was shown on the news and that girl is beautiful. 3 years ago there was a criminal who became famous in the Philippines because of the series of killings he was doing.

And the name of that criminal is Exodus "It's actually Cassey's cousin's name." when I specify the Exodus brother of Hercules.

No one has yet identified him, but everyone knows that he has red eyes and a scar on his left eye, which is what the survivors say.

I heard the door open so I saw Lily sticking her head in there "Sister, I'm impatient, take me here for a walk." I came to her and ruffled her hair.

"Alright, then I'll drop you on the hill for fun." he frowned and glared at me.

The night has come and that means Cassey's party has begun. I'm wearing a black gown with a low neckline, it's backless so you can see my back.

Meanwhile, my hair is messy and I just applied light make up on my face. I also put on the white stelleto before facing the mirror and smiling.

"That's great, you're beautiful." praised Lily who was wearing a red dress "Are you wearing red? Are you the one with the birthday?" I was going to tease her but she just got angry and ran away from me which made me laugh.

"What the hell Aliyah! You are really slow and there are so many guests outside." Mama shouted at me again.

It came closer to me and looked at my order before I pulled it down. When we got down, we went to the garden because that's where Cassey's birthday was held.

The decoration in their garden is very beautiful and the theme of his birthday party is royal blue so it's cold to the eyes.

There were also a lot of heavy guests here and I was a bit lost because most of the young men who attended were glancing at us.

"It's terrible, it seems shameful for poor people like us to attend such a grand celebration of the rich." said Mom.

I nodded because even I was shy. I feel like we don't fit in here because of the state of our lives with Mama.

The earlier noisy environment due to the elders talking about their respective businesses became quiet and looked from behind.

Even the beautiful girls who were laughing were stunned and seemed to see something amazing behind us.

Out of surprise, I turned around and saw six men who looked like Greek gods because of their good looks.

The three of them I can see and they are Calculus, Radius and Hercules. There are so many new things in them and they are even more beautiful because their faces have matured.

They are getting more and more excited so it is no wonder that the reaction of the girls who were making noise earlier is the same. I stopped thinking when I felt someone staring at me.

I don't know why I immediately thought of Hercules. Just like when I was young, our eyes met.

His face expression was cold but I could read something strange in his eyes.

"Son!" their parents shouted and happily hugged them. I just smiled while staring at them because the faces of the ladies showed that they were happy to see their children again.

Did Aunt Athena see her son just now? Because it looks like he really misses and another thing is why is Exodus not here?

"Oh my are we late?" At the same time as the men arrived, two very beautiful women also appeared there, they were accompanied by a boy who was the same age as Lily.

I watched the two beautiful women and if Hercules looked like a Greek god, the women looked like goddesses. They are so beautiful that you will never think that there is such a beautiful creature on earth.

"Carmilla, Betina!" Aunt Emily and Aunt Athena also hugged them. "I didn't know that you would also attend."

"Well aunty, it's too boring in the states so we thought of staying here for good." The ladies' eyes widened before squealing like teenagers.

I also laughed and shook my head "It's great, sister, we are surrounded by gods and goddesses." Lily was also stunned and seemed to be listening to the story of the Chavilire family.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" we all looked at the emcee as he said "Today is the birthday of one of the Chavilire princesses! Let's all greet Cassidy Chavilire!" at the same time as that cry, the opening of the red curtain at the back of the stage.

Cassey slowly came out wearing her Silver gown. We were amazed because she was so beautiful. She looks like a princess because of her shape.

Her hair was curly and loose, she even had a small tiara on her head. Her silver gown is bolga and it seems that she will love it very much because of the diamonds attached to it.

"First of all, I wanna thank my parents for adopting me, if it wasn't for you, Dad, Mom, I wouldn't have made it this far."

"I'm very thankful because you are always by my side, I was considered family even though I was just adopted. Thank you so much Mom, Dad, Thank you so much." she cried, making Aunt Emily cry and Uncle Xander smile

"And also to my friends and my best friend who attended my party, thank you so much because you stayed with me even though I was speechless at times. Thank you Aliyah because until now you still haven't forgotten me even though we haven't seen each other in a while." I smiled back at him and whispered thank you and I love you.

I have made many friends but I will never forget Cassey because she is my best friend and their family helped my family when I needed it.

He said many things on stage that made us laugh and cry before it was time to eat.

I've been eating for a while and now I don't want to go back. I drooled and looked at the chocolate fountain in front of me before taking a marshmallow and dipping it.

I still closed my eyes because of the taste but also opened my eyes because of a presence that I felt close to me.

My eyes were filled with shock as I looked at his green eyes that looked at me seriously and coldly.
