DISI-SAIS AURORA MARASIGAN KEEPING THINGS OR SECRET to the people around me is complicated., but I don’t have a choice. I need to protect our family even if I hate Tita Carina. So here I am, trying to be a good daughter in front of my Dad, but a slut behind his back. “Are you listening to me, Maria Aurora?” “Yes, Dad.” We are going to the party at the Mayor’s house again, and Dad keeps on reminding me to behave. I am always behaving. Like duh, they are the ones making an issue over things. “Is that what you are wearing tonight, Rara?” Tita Carina asks while she’s checking me out. “Yeah. Is there a problem with my dress Tita?” I am wearing an open-back sleeveless emerald green evening gown with a slit up to the middle of my thigh. I just paired it with beige strappy heels.
