CHANCES OF FATE: Simon Marcos (COMPLETED)

4

We went home to Negros that weekend. Umuwi din si Daddy doon and we went back together in Manila ng Linggo. I finish my sample for Khloe's wedding gown. I also made an extra for Tita Liza as Mom's request.

I find it hard na maghanap ng idea sa gagawin. Maraming ayaw si Sandro sa susuotin ng mapapangasawa kaya kailangan talaga pag-isipan or else baka hindi bumagay kay Khloe ang gown.

"So, this one is an off-shoulder neckline ball gown wedding gown. It will be made of tulle and lace as you see in the sketch details. The lining will be made of satin. Then the off-shoulder neckline bodice with bell sleeves and beading adornments, this will highlight the beauty of the gown. The skirts cut flows into a royal length train it will make the gown more fascinating." I explained to the couple in front of me. This is my last hope and the last sketch na natitirang iprepresent ko I got eight pero hindi iyon sinangyaunan ni Sandro kanina. Nagtalo naman sila kanina at ngayon ay busangot na ang mukha ni Sandro habang hindi ito pinapansin ni Khloe na buong atensyon ay nasa akin.

Khloe look at the sketch once again. There's a long silence in the three of us. So, I decided to break the ice.

"What do you think? That's the last one. I based it in modern and classic design that you want." I said. Pero wala pa ring nagbago sa expression ni Sandro.

"Don't tell me ayaw mo pa rin to?" mahinahon ngunit madiin ang pagkakatanong ni Khloe.

"You decide that's your gown. Ikaw ang magsusuot." Kahit hindi sabihin nitong si Sandro alam ko na labas sa ilong ang sinabi niya.

Tiningnan lang siya ng masama ni Khloe. Bumalik antensyon ni sa sketch saka ako hinarap.

"I like this. It looks classy and traditional just perfect for the wedding venue. And I like the details." She commented.

Ikinatuwa koi yon. Finally! Nakapili na din.

Inayos ko ang mga gamit ko sa ibabaw ng mesa. Nauna ng umalis ang dalawa at naiwan ako dito. Daddy texted me kasi na he is just near the area at isasabay nya na lang ako pauwi after his meeting. Wala akong dalang sasakyan dahil nagpahatid lang ako sa driver kanina. Now our driver is with Mommy dahil hindi naman ito marunog magdrive. Saka dalawa lang ang driver namin isa para sa bahay at yong kay Mommy. I know how to drive pero wala akong license dito at isa pa hindi naman ako nalalagi dito sa Pilipinas kaya walang driver para sa akin.

After I fix my things I dialled Daddy's number. Mabilis din naman siyang sumagot.

"Are you done Sweetie? I'm on my way now." My dad's sweet voice from the other line.

"Yes Dad. I'll wait na lang sa labas para hindi ka na bumbaba mamaya." I replied.

"Okay. Malapit na ako." he added.

I ended the call. Bitbit ang mga naka filed na sketches mabilis akong lumabas ng restaurant kung saan kami nagmeeting. My phone beeped but it was inside my bag that I didn't bother to look at my way ng kinuha ko ito.

I'm walking fast while doing it. I almost fell when someone bump me. Mabuti na lang at parang pader ang na bangga ko dahil hindi man lang ito natinag kahit sa tingin ko ay sobrang lakas ng pagkaka bunggo ko sa kanya.

Instead of floor I feel in his hard chest. Yes he is he based on the manly scent that I could smell.

"Watch your way." His calm but deep baritone voice made my heart beat like a horse. It felt different from the first time we meet but it seems like my ears have been used to it. I don't know!

Nag-angat ako ng tingin at hindi nga ako nagkamali. It was Simon Marcos. His tick eyebrows is now forming as one line sabay ng pagkunot ng noo niya. Doon ko na lamang na pansin ang tagal kong nakakapit sa damit niya at pagkakasubsob ko sa dibdib nya.
