Naalimpungatan ako mula sa mahimbing kong pagtulog ng may narinig ako kalampag ng kung ano coming from the living room of my condo. And without further ado, I immediately ran outside my room and there I saw the two dumbass quarrelling to each other. "You are the one who hugged me!" It's Khiel voice, mababakas ang matinding pandidiri sa pagkakasabi niya nito bago sinipa si Marshall na ngayon ay pinipilipit ang kamay nung isa. "Ha?! How dare you accuse me, e pagkagising ko ay nakapulupot iyang binti mo sakin!" Sigaw pabalik ng pinsan ko. "I'm not! Ikaw nga sobrang higpit ng yakap sa bewang ko! " Mariing paglalaban ni Khiel sa kanyang sarili. "I'm not!!" Sigaw na naman ni Marshall. "BAKLA KA BA?!" they both shout in unison to each other. Sandali silang natigil sa ginagawa nila bago sabay din na sumigaw muli. "NO!" sigaw nila sa isa't isa at muli na naman nagbardagulan. They don't even notice my appearance here. Hay nako!! Umagang umaga ay sumasakit ang ulo ko sa dalawang ito, hin
"Kyle, is it normal ba to fall in a guy na once or twice mo pa lang nakikita?" Wala sa sariling tanong ko sa kaibigan kong nilalantakan ang popcorn habang nanonood. I'm currently here at my friend's house, she invited me over since because her family is out of town, ayaw nya sumama dahil mabo-bored lang naman daw sya dun because puro business lang ang inaatupag nila, boring din naman maggala mag-isa, so she stay at home nalang instead na sumama. And since Sunday naman ngayon ay wala naman akong gagawin so I agree na tumambay nalang muna sa kanila. We're currently watching some Netflix series while lying comfortably on her soft mattress. "Maybe? I'm not sure." She simply replied. I thought hanggang doon nalang yun and napa face palm nalang ako ng makita ang kakaibang reaksyon nya ng lingunin ako. "Why? Do you fall in love with the guy you just met?!" Eskahaderang ani nya. Guess I'm not going to kept it secret from her, in fact, maybe I could get some advice on her in this matter.
I am sleeping peacefully when I got interrupted by a sudden knock on my door. I check the time and it is only freaking 6:30 in the morning! Why would they disturb me such early in the morning?! I tried to go back to sleep when the knock stops, but minutes later I heard the knock again. What the actual fuck?! Halos late na ako nakatulog kagabi kakaisip sa lalaking yon, kaya antok na antok pa talaga ako! I think it won't stop unless I go and show up. I didn't bother to check myself, I just do mouth wash before I open the door. "What the hell do—" I'm so much ready to shout on who ever is disturbing me, but then again, the man who makes makes me think late last night is now infront of me with his dashing look. "Good morning, queen." He said. His voice is like a soothing sounds linger in my ears, dagdag mo pa ang munting ngiti nakablandara sa kanyang poging mukha. "I...what are you...." I didn't get to finish my dialogue when I realized I am freshly from bed! Baka may muta pa ako sa
"It's so..." I'm so speechless. After a long drive, dinala ako ni Khiel sa isang beach resort sa Palawan. To be honest, I didn't expect na dito kami pupunta. Sa dami-dami ng naka-date ko ay halos lahat sila pare-pareho ng tactics or style. But Khiel is different. I mean! I don't know kung date nga ba itong ginagawa namin. "Come on." He said then left me inside the car. Nakita kong umikot sya sa parte ko at pinagbuksan ako. Pagkalabas ko ay doon ko lalong napagmasdan ang buong lugar. Kaunti lang yung mga tao dito at hindi sya crowded unlike sa ibang mga beach, may makikita ka din na mga foreigner sa paligid. Dito pa lamang sa bungad ay nakikita ko na kung gaano kaganda ang lugar, kaya nasisiguro ko na maganda lalo ang loob nito. "Staine Resort..." Pagbasa ko sa pangalan ng hotel na nakapaskil sa malaking gate nito. Napaka grande ng pagkakagawa ng gate, parang itong sinaunang disenyo ng mga mayayamang mansyon noon. May mga nakapalibot pa ditong hanging plants na nakadagdag ng maganda
"Oh you're here! Gosh, beautiful as ever!" Tita Alona exclaimed when she saw me together with my mother and father, as well as my older brother."It's nice to see you, tita." I greeted back. It's her son's birthday that's why we are here to celebrate with them. There are many people in this event and I can feel their stare to me and the people I am with. She smiled at me and kiss both my cheek which I obligue to do too.After the greetings, tita Alona escorted us to the table prepare for us. Pagdating namin doon may ilang mga nakaupo na at ang bakanteng upuan ay sakto lamang para sa aming apat. Kuya Ryan pulled my chair and help me settled in my seat—which I can do by myself though. I smiled at him as sign of grateful and then he settled himself on the seat beside me.Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa mga kasamahan namin sa lamesa, ang iba ay pamilyar na sa akin ngunit may ilang bago sa paningin ko. My parents talk to them for
"Tapos mo na ba yung pinapagawa ko sayo, Rielle?" Mother ask, we are currently having our breakfast now, I, together with my father, mother and kuya Ry. I swallowed the food and wipe my mouth first before I talk."Malapit ko na po sya matapos, maybe by the end of the week I can show it to you, M-mom" I replied. Mother is asking me to complete the financial report of her business in Makati, she have her own business there and she ask me to work for her in the mean time, I want to object because I'd want to work with my kuya in the firm, but who am I to disobey them?"You really is slow, I already said to you yesterday that do it as soon as possible." She said. Kakasabi nya lang kase noon sakin kagabi bago kami pumunta sa gatherings kila Tita Alona. And she expect me to show it to her now? Do I look like a robot to her?&n
"Make yourself elegant in any possible way later, we will going to meet Mr. Weinstein and his son to close the deal." My father said over the phone. He called me in the middle of my working hours to told me that. Two days have passed after the news about me, getting married. I think this really is happening, huh?"Yes, dad. Ano po ba ang oras para maka uwi ako ng maaga mamaya?" I still manage to ask that question. I need to be ready for this because I should not disappoint them in any way."We'll come by exactly 7:00 in the evening, so make sure you already dressed up by that." He answered. I nod my head even though he can't see me."Okay, noted." I replied and he hung up the call without further ado, bumuntong hininga nalang ako dahil sanay na naman ako sa ganoong trato. I looked at my wrist watch to see what time is it now and it's already 3:30 pm. I think I will just finished half of these papers the
"So, uhm. Mr. Weinstein. This is my daughter, Asher, the one I'm talking about." My father uttered. Pinapakilala nya ako ngayon sa negosyanteng nasa harap namin."Hmm... I see." He replied and looked at me. Bagaman nasa matanda ang aking atensyon ay ramdam ko pa rin ang mariing titig ng lalaking nasa aking harapan, dahilan para mapainom ako sa tubig na nasa aking gilid."So, when is the wedding?" Said by Mr. Weinstein that make me choke. What the hell?Inabutan ako ng tissue ni kuya para gamitin pamunas ko sa aking bibig. Gosh! I lost my poise there, huh. Umubo pa ako ng ilang beses bago bumalik sa dati ang aking paghinga."You alright, hija?"
