Broken Strings

Chapter 47

Di ko na maipinta yung happiness ko pag nakikita silang nagugulat. Ang cute.

"Hala! Sabi kasi nina Hansel, pwedeng kumain ng cupcakes eh." Seth smiled sheepishly. Hansel  immediately sprinted towards them.

"Ano?! Hoy! Wala akong sinabing kainin niyo yan!" Hansel sighed in frustration. Napahilot na lang sa sentido si Dalton.

"Utol naman! Nagpakahirap yung bebe ko na gumawa niyan tapos kakainin niyo lang?" Ano daw? Bebe ni Dalton si Hansel? Anak ng!

"Pinagsasabi mo diyan, tore? Kitang frustrated na nga ako, sasabayan mo pa stress ko. Dipungal ka!" Asik ni Hansel na halatang galit.

Dalton  just smiled saka niya inakbayan si Hansel.

"Hyung, tama na yan. Tutulungan na lang kita sa kusina." Dalton offered a helping hand ngunit tinanggihan ni Hansel ang alok ng binata.

"Thanks for the offer Dalton, but I won't deal with another chaotic mess that you're about to create again. Now, shoo!" Hansel shooed him away, making the other man guilty at his own offer.

"Okay. But, will you let me watch you do your thing instead?" Dalton asked him politely. Hansel was a bit hesitant at first but soon nodded his head for confirmation.

Isang victory dance ang ginawa ni Dalton, to which he gently smiled.

"Naks! Pumaparaan si Dalton hyung kay Hansel hyung oh! Ibang klase!" Grayson says while looking at them.

Kung iisipin ko, para silang mga boy love couples kung magharutan sa isa't isa.

"Alam niyo, sa sobrang sweet niyo, di ko aakalaing mas matanda si Hansel hyung kaysa kay Dalton hyung." Chandler says while munching a food. The other men agreed at his response.

"Syempre! Para kay Hansel hyung, importante si Dalton hyung. Ano pa laban natin diyan?" Grayson asked.

"Edi yung height! HAHAHA!" Chandler answered, making Grayson mad at his remarks.

"Chandler! Nakakainis na yang ugali mo! Di na ako natutuwa sa mga sagot mo ha!" Grayson says.

"Chandler naman, wag puro height ang isasagot mo. Gumalang ka nga sa mas nakakaganda–este sa mas nakakatanda sayo." Julian says, while playing through his phone, not even dared to look up.

"So back to Trevor! Puro kayo singit eh." Riley says. "Ano na balak mo? May naiisip ka na bang gagawin mo?"

Napalingon ako sa tanong ni Riley. Oo nga no. Di ko rin alam kung paano ko i-eexecute yung plano kong proposal para sa kanya. So many thoughts flooded back in my mind such as, will she say yes? Will she run away?

"I don't know either. Can you help me?" I asked him that made him clap in victory.

"Boys! Assemble! May gagawin tayo!" Riley yelled, catching their attention.

"Anong meron?" Linus asked me. I let them take a peek of the engagement ring. Napanganga sa sobrang gulat ang iba nang makita ang singsing.

"I'll propose to her." I simply stated. Napuno naman ng cheers and yells ang kanilang mga reaksyon.

"Uy! Pare, congratulations! Ninong kami sa kasal nyo ha!" Hansel yelled to which I nodded.
"Sagot ko na yung tanqueray at tequila!" Sabi naman ni Linus.

"Ako naman sagot ko na honeymoon package niyo!" Anunsyo ni Dalton which made us shock.

"Ano? Sagot mo yung honeymoon package? Or isasabay mo lang yung honeymoon niyo ni Hansel hyung?" Taas-babang tanong ni Julian. Dalton immediately scowled at his remark.

"Ha ha ha. Nice joke, Julian. Wag mo nang uulitin ha!" Dalton sarcastically said.

Julian just scratched the back of his head as he smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry." Was all he said saka bumalik sa pagcecellphone.

"So, ganito. What if, mamili na tayo ng art materials tapos gawin na natin yung plano?" Chandler asked which made the others agree with his suggestion.

"Sounds good, Chan! So, sino sasama sa amin?" Hansel asked kasi siya ang magddrive. Chandler, along with Julian and Grayson decided to come along with us.

"Kami ni Gray! Magaganda taste ni Gray sa mga ganyan saka forte nya yung mga ganitong gawain." Julian says, making Grayson nod at his words.

"Alright! Tara na!" I say. The rapline decided to stay at home dahil sila ang nakaassign sa mga paglilinis.

"Nga pala." I say, making their heads turn in my direction.

"Ano yun?" Hansel asked me.

"Darating kasi yung parents ni Shannen, so please lang advise the other men at the house to wear presentable clothes." I told him.

"Roger that!" Hansel says saka agad na kaming sumakay sa kotse at pumunta na sa store para sa mga maaring mangyari mamaya. Agad namang nagtipa si Hansel sa phone bago niya patakbuhin ang sasakyan.

While on the way to our destination ay saktong napatext ang mommy ni Shannen.
