Unexpected Expectations (Completed)

Chapter 10

Rae's POV

"I look really exhausted." I said while cupping my face and facing my reflection on a whole body mirror. Halatang hindi ako nakatulog. Eh sino ba naman kasi ang makakatulog dun sa sinabi ni Kurt kagabi?

Halos parang may sumabog na conffeti at fireworks after niya sinabi yun and until now hindi pa rin nawawala.

A victory smile form on my lips. I felt a flying butterflies in my stomach while those words keep repeating on my mind.

"I'm marrying you, Helena! Shemay! ang sarap lang sa tenga!" Kinikilig kong sabi.

"Oo na! Pakakasalan ka na pero huwag ka naman sana magsalita mag isa." Joanne.

"Hindi kasi ako maka get over. I can't imagine na magiging Mrs. Estrada na ako soon."

"I wonder how Tiffany will reacts about this." Ces said while putting lipgloss on her lips.

"Happy, maybe?" I said.

"Hindi rin siguro." They said in chorus.

"Stop thinking negative girls."

"Just stating the fact." Ces.

"Well, wag niya na balakin kasi hindi rin siya magtatagumpay. I won't let that happen. Ako na nga ang na una sisingit pa siya sa pila."

"That's our girl!" then Joanne winks at me.

I won't let anyone take this happiness of me. Kahit ano, kahit sino. I didn't felt this kind of happiness in the last 17 years of my life, so I think I absolutely deserve this reward.

It's lunch time kaya andito kami lahat sa tambaya at nasabi na rin pala ni Kurt sa barkada. They  said we should celebrate. Pasimple nalang akong nakikitawa sa kanila but Kurt seems not happy.

"Celebrating for?"

Napatingin kami lahat sa taong niluwa ng pinto. It's Tiffany.

Agad naman na tumayo si JC at inakbayan siya.

"Your bestfriend is getting married."

Nakatutok lang ako sa kanya at dahil dun nakita ko ang pag bago ng expression ng mukha niya. Alam na alam ko ang timpla ng ganyang klaseng reaction. Nasasaktan o nagseselos. I hope Joanne and Ces didn't notice it.

"O-Oh! That's great! Then we need to celebrate."

"Yeah!" JC

"If Tiffany is an actress, she'll definitely win the Oscars." Ces whispered.

I was wrong napansin din pala nila.

Umupo si Tiffany sa tabi ni Kurt. Ang sakit lang sa mata.
