HERS..
Is it done? Girls, are we all good?
I asked the girls, since we're preparing for our surprise for Aly. We're doing it tonight on his birthday salubong. I even called my family for this weeks ago pa before Aly invited them kaya they've thought of an alibi na isasagot once Aly invites them.
Alam din ng family ni Aly, and pati sila Kiefer and Von. They're all part of the surprise. Medyo maraming kasabwat ngayon hindi lang yung ALE and yung mga tao sa baba. I even contacted Aly's closest friends before and until now.
Ella: Besh, relax lang okay? Tapos na tayo sa preparations and everything working as planned. Execution na lang ng surprise yung gagawin natin.
Ako: Besh, what if he doesn't like it? What if hindi siya masurprise?
Ayel: Hay nakoo, mama. Itigil mo nga yang kaka-worry mo. Alvin will definitely like this birthday surprise na plinano mo.
Tasha: Oo nga. And for the millionth time, Alvin likes anything coming from you. Kahit pumunta ka nga lang dun okay na sa kanya eh.
Ako: Kinakabahan lang talaga ako. I just want this to be memorable and perfect.
Ate Gretchen: Oh sige na, Ms. Perfectionist. Go inside the car and let's get this over with.
Si Ate A ang nag-drive papunta kina Aly, while I tell her the directions papunta doon.
We reached Aly's house around 10pm and rinig na rinig from their gate na they're having fun na sa loob. I texted Von na kanina para pagbuksan kami ng gate para hindi na mag door bell kaya here he is helping us with the props we brought.
Von: Good evening, girls. Wow buo kayo ah. Nasaan na yung mga gamit para maayos na natin habang nililibang nila si Oyens.
Ako: Nasa likod ng van. Patulungan na lang sila.
Sabi ko sa kanya. Hawak ko kasi yung favorite cake ni Aly sa kaliwa then yung gift ko sa kaliwa.
Balloons, poppers and made up poster na nakalagay Happy Birthday, Boo! lang yung dala namin. Pero kanina bigla silang nakaisip ng pakulo. Nagpa-frame sila ng picture ni Aly, then nilagyan nila ng messages sa yung frame. Bali para siyang picture frame with pictures na madaming nakalagay na post-its sa paligid.
Von: Tara na sa room niya. Sana magkasya tayo hahah.
He said tapos pumasok na kami sa bahay nila Aly. Para kaming mga akyat bahay kasi nagprepare pala si Von ng ladder sa tapat ng room ni Aly para hindi na kami sa mismong living room dumaan para hindi kami mahalata. It was part of the plan na sa room na lang ni Aly yung surprise para ma-surprise talaga siya.
Naawa nga ako sa kanya kanina nung hinatid niya ako sa dorm. I acted as if I was super tired kasi tapos sobrang halata sa mukha niya na parang he somehow expected na makakasama ako sa birthday salubong niya. Pero hindi pwede, I need him to believe na hindi ako pwede para matuloy yung surprise.
We went up one at a time then prepared the things needed for the surprise and waited for the right time.
Sana talaga magustuhan niya.
