Lock & Luck (A futuristic reality...)

Chapter 20: Strings attached - Part 2

I told Matt that Ate Juday prepared a shower party for me. He asked me kung may mga "macho dancer daw ba na sobrang ikinatawa ko. Of course, wala. Ayaw ni Mommy.

It was just a simple sleep over in a hotel. They rented an executive suite.

We watched two sexy movies while drinking wine.

I find it awkward at first but since we're not that sober anymore and we're all laughing about it, we're enjoying it.

My close friends are there -- Shin, Jimmy, Yeng, Kristalle, KC, Garlic, Teacher G and some of our friends.

We're 11 in total, including Ate Juday.

In the middle of the 2nd movie, Ate Juday popped the question.

Ate Juday: Ready na ba ang bataan, Beh?

Sarah: Oh my gosh!

(Yun lang ang nasabi ko sabay takip ng mukha kong biglang namula.)

Teacher G: Dapat nag-e-exercise ka na everyday para fit. Haha!

Tawang-tawa kami sa usapan namin dahil mga nakainom na pero ang awkward pa rin talaga.

Ate Juday: Don't tell me hindi mo pa 'to pinag-iisipan, Beh? Mukhang " gifted" pa naman si Matt, half-italian yun Beh!

Wala na... Nakainom na talaga kami.

Sarah: Ate, tingin mo... uhmm... mahihirapan ako?

Hirap na hirap kong tanong pero nasabi ko rin dahil na rin siguro sa espiritu ng alak.

Ate Juday: Sakto lang. Baka 2 days bago ka makalakad!

Sabi ni Ate, na ikina-hagalpak ng lahat at lalong ikinapula at ikinakaba ko.

Sarah: Hindi nga ate, seryoso?

Ate Juday: Haha! Biro lang beh. Masakit naman talaga sa una, mga 1 day kang bed rest, yun seryoso.

Dahil sa mga nai-share nila sa akin, parang lalo akong kinabahan, I've never been this far.

Mas maigi pa yata yung wala akong nalaman tungkol dun. Mas lalong nakaka-kaba.

Matt's POV

Back to the reception...

All of the guests are now all sit; meals are already served on theirs tables while a video is being played thru the projector.

This was shot weeks ago. It's a separate interview of me and Sarah. Flicks of the interviews along with slide of some of our private pictures are also shown.
