The Things That Only We Know About: A LNRS+HontiBredo AU

The months leading to 👰👰 (Part 2/2)

November

"Okay, so listen up! Mama Lens and Tricia will be waiting for Ate Aiks, Me, Mama Ris, and Jill sa Boston on Thanksgiving pero Mama Lens will be surprised to see na kasama pala namin nina Ate Aiks at Mama sina Ianna, and Sinta. Now, Kuya, you have to drop Ate Hannah first sa New York then sakay kana rin ng train to Boston, hopefully you'll get there right before Thanksgiving dinner. Ano sasabihin mo ulit?" I roll called my siblings to make sure that everything is on track and ready to go.

"Sasabihin ko na I have business sa States and was about to call but I decided to surprise all of you instead." Kuya replied confidently.

"Very good! Jill, have you applied for your leave na?" I asked Jill over Skype call.

"Yes Ate! Filed and approved na po! Also, yung friend ng classmate ko sa NYU agreed to reserve a table for two sa kanilang family resto, uhm just insist nalang siguro na huwag na sila mag make small talk du'n para hindi awkward. Hihi" Jill replied.

"Okay, noted. Very good, Jillian Therese! Very efficient! Now, Ianna, Sinta, let's review this one more time... If Mama Ris ask you bakit ka sasama, ano sasabihin niyo?" I look over to my two younger sibs.

"Be-because w-e can!?" Sinta replied right away which earned another face palm moment from all of us.

"Ang tanga lang, Jacinta. Don't you think Mama will ask a follow up question for that? Tinuruan na tayo ni Ate Issa what to say, why not stick with that? Hay nako.... Anyway, I'll take it from there siguro, Ate. If Mama asks, I'll say na we want to go visit the fam and take a short vacay since LFF have been really successful and Bunso needs a little break from school as well." Ianna decided to take the wheel before maka pagsabi ako ng not nice words kay Sinta. *thank you, Lord for Ianna.*

"Very good, Ian! And as for you, Bunso... Please lang 1 month nalang, maawa ka samin. I know Mama raised you to be an honest child but please keep everything to yourself." I said, looking over at Ianna then Sinta.

"Now, this isn't going to be easy. As much as possible we have to be smooth on our plans especially our stuff, so in order to avoid accidental whatnots, I rented a condo for us. But since Mama Leni will surely be insisting that we stay on one house, the condo will be our hiding spot. Doon itatago lahat nang wedding paraphernalias and also yung outfits natin du'n na rin para both Mamas will not ask questions as to why we have such formal attires with us. Speaking of that, Jill? Have you picked out the wedding attires for our Mamas na ba? If not, please pick it up na then du'n mo idiretso sa condo, I'll forward you the deets." I said calmly explaining all the reminders to make sure that this surprise wedding is a success.

"Opo, Ate. I'll pick them up tomorrow para before kayo makadating nila Mama Ris, andun na sa condo yung damit nila ni Mama, isasama ko na rin yung damit namin nina Ate Aiks and Ate Trish since I have it with me na. Also, to avoid Mama Risa seeing your outfits, I will be volunteering to take her out for lunch when you get here para mahatid niyo sa condo yung mga outfits niyo nina Ate Ianna, Kuya Kiko, and Sinta." Jill replied. Such common sense and wit! This girl really amazes me! Kapatid ko talaga si Jillian, for sure! Ewan ko nalang kay Sinta. Just kidding! Hahaha!

"Very good, Labs! Now, everything is definitely set! Ate Aiks, our plane tickets with you na, right? Paki confirm nalang ng flight natin. Kuya, here's yours and Ate Hannah. Please don't misplaced it. I'll inform Mama later at dinner that Ianna, and Sinta will be going with you, two, so, Ianna, prepare your story and Sinta, please quiet nalang later ha. Okay? Good luck to us, sibs! I love you sooo much!!!" I said to all of them to which we squealed in excitement and hug each other. THIS IS IT! IT IS REALLY HAPPENING NA TALAGA! Pagna-pull off namin to, I'm gonna get so drunk talaga sa reception, Bahala na!
