Chapter 6: Do You Believe in Fate?

Chapter 6: Do You Believe in Fate?

I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. Paano ba naman 6AM pa lang nag-text na agad si Prince.

Prince Constantino: 'Good morning Goddess, I hope you slept well. Looking forward to lunch. :)' 

'Thank you! Good morning too.'

Pati si Yaya napansin agad yung good mood ko. Kinakantiyawan ako na dalaga na daw ako. Ugh. Nakakainis pero nakakakilig na hindi ko maipaliwanag. Naligo ako ng maaga at pumasok dun sa walk-in closet ko. For the first time in eighteen years ay nakatanga lang ako at paulit-ulit na nagbubungkal ng damit. Hindi ako makapagdesisyon kung anong susuotin ko. I realized that I have absolutely no clue on what to wear.

I was so desperate when an hour passed at di pa rin ako maka-decide. I knew I had to call Sab.

"Hello?" her sleepy voice sounded from the other line. Hindi morning person si Sab.

"Sab, tulungan mo ko!"

"Five minutes pa... Mamaya na po..." biglang tumahimik yung kabilang linya at mukhang tinulugan ulit ako.

"Sab, tasukette kudasai!"

"Ha?" tahimik yung linya bago siya nagsalita ulit, "Aya? Anong problema?"

"Wala akong masuot!"

"Ha? Ano?! Nasunugan ka ba? Bakit di mo ko tinawagan kagabi?" taranta ang boses ni Sab.

"Anong sunog?" Taka kong tanong. Ang aga-aga naloloka na 'ata agad si Sab.

"Sabi mo wala kang mga damit. Di naman mangyayari yun unless may sunog, " I needed a moment to process her answer before I burst out laughing.

"Gaga! Walang sunog! Hindi ko alam kung anong susuotin ko!" Natahimik ang kabilang linya.

"Sab? Tinulugan mo ba ako ulit? I swear..."

"Wala, dalaga na." I blushed as I heard her snickering on the other line.

"Ano ba Sab, isa ka pa eh. Pareho kayo ni Yaya ng sinabi!"

"Ohmaygas Aya, I can't believe I'm having this conversation..." tawa ng tawa si Sab, "Napaka-epic naman ng umaga na'to! Hahaha!" I can hear her moving around on her bed.

 "Ang daya naman Sab eh. Tulungan mo naman ako, wag mo naman akong pagtawanan," I pouted as I sat on the floor of my closet. "Ikaw lang naman ang pwede kong tanungin."

"Okay, chillax. Punta ko diyan. Wait for me, ligo lang ako." I heard the line disconnect and I let out a long breath. Nagsuot muna ako ng pambahay at sinuklayan yung buhok ko. Bumaba ako sa komedor at nakita kong kadarating lang ni Kuya Ali from his shift.

"Good morning Kuya," I tip-toed to give him a kiss and a hug.

"Good morning Diosa. Ba't ang pretty ng baby ko ngayon?" He grinned at me sleepily.

"Hus, benta ka talaga Kuya, lagi mo naman sinasabi yan eh." Pabiro kong sagot sa kanya. He let go of me and pulled up a chair.

"I brought you breakfast," he gestured to the covered boxes from Conti's. "Yaya pakiayos nga itong mga pagkain para makapag-breakfast na kami ni Diosa." Pumasok si Yaya Maring na may dalang pinggan at kubyertos.

"Wow sarap" I commented as I dug into the food, "The best ka talaga Kuya Ali!"

"Binobola mo na naman ako Diosa, sige lang eat some more." He piled more food on my plate. 

"Bakit di ka naniniwala sa akin Kuya? Love na love kaya kita!" I batted my lashes at him.

"Hay naku baby girl, nagpa-pa-cute ka na naman eh matagal ka nang cute"
