Chapter 38: A big fat yes

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I'm sorry okay? I was stunned. Nashock ako sayo." I raised a brow. He scratched his neck. "I was overjoyed hearing that you like me too. My mind went crazy as soon as you said those words. I couldn't speak that's why you thought I ignored you."

"Sana sinabi mo agad! Nagmukha akong tanga bigla kang nagwalk out!"

Passers stopped to watch us and it was getting embarrassing.

"Nahiya nga kasi ako. Okay I'm really sorry for everything. That's why I'm here. Please forgive me?" He pouted.

I heard the gasps of the audience as he kneeled down with one leg. Ano to?

"Hannie Creselia I am also here to ask if you could finally be my girlfriend?"

My eyes widen. Seryoso ba ito? I know he's courting me and everything but my mind can't process this!

"Girl, say yes! Come one!" They cheered.

I put the clothes aside and walked towards Xander with my legs feeling like jell-o. Geez!

"Get up Evo.."

"Not until you say yes. Hurry up, nakakangawit."

"I already told you I like you, isn't your game done?" I sighed.

He took my hand and squeezed it.

"If this was still a game sa tingin mo titiisin ko itong ginagawa ko? Sa tingin mo kung laro pa ito nandito ako ngayon? Han this is all real. I'm willing to do this because I love you even though you only like me." I felt the sincerity in his. Ito na kaya?

I giggled. He is so dense!

I'm willing.. Susugal ako. Mahal ko na siya, bakit ko pa papatagalin.

"What's funny? Answer please. Nangangawit na ako."

"Yes."

He blinked a couple of times and put his hand on his ear.

"Ano iyon? Pa-ulet?"

"Y-E-S"

He stood up and raised his hands. "It's a big fat yes!"

Everyone clapped their hands and smiled at us. I turned around and was about to walk until I felt his arms snake around my waist pulling me back to him.

"Thank you. I love you Han kahit like mo lang ako." He nuzzled his nose to my hair.

"Dude you dense," the four of us said.

"What do you girls mean?" He asked resting his head on my shoulder.

"Why would she answer yes if she only likes you?" Gio said while patting my head.

Xander didn't answer and looked at me.

"Hindi siya basta basta o-oo sa taong gusto niya lang," Snow explained.

"Dude she loves you too!" The six of them shouted.

"Weh?" He let me go and put his hands on my shoulder. He looked at me intensely. I looked away, suddenly feeling embarrassed.

He held my chin and gently moved my face to face him.

"Is it true?"

"Aaminin ko pa ba? Nakakahiya naman e!" I whined.

He grinned and answered, "Yes. Let me hear it. Please?"

"Oo na."

"Oo na what?"

"I love you too. Happy?"

He pulled me into a tight embrace and whispered, "Super."

"Yan na! Kayo na! Para kayong tanga. Engaged kayo may paligaw ligaw pa kayong nalalaman!" Dane joked while patting Xander's back. They all congratulated him.

"Excuse me, ikaw po si Ms. Cresselia right?"

We turned our attention to a lady who I think is in her mid-30. She has her hair in a bun and she wore a simple floral dress finished off with peach-colored wedges.

"Ako nga po."

"We are so lucky! Is it alright if we have you for our magazine? We have this photoshoot and we would love it if you could be one of our models? With your boyfriend?"

"Fine by me." I glanced at Xander who shrugged. Which means yes!

~~O~~

"What's the motif?" I asked while walking along the pathway to the mall's park.

"Grand Wedding."

"Sakto! Let's go Han!" He out his arms around my waist and grinned. I feel so.. at ease.

"A very excited boyfriend you got there Ms. Cresselia."

"You have no idea."

It took 15 minutes to put my make-up on. I look radiating because it was light. The wedding gown was exquisite. Whoever the designer is I give him or her two thumbs up on my dress.

I went out of my tent and walked.

"You look divine."

"Thanks Xander. You look dashing."

He was wearing a black tux and dayumm he looked so hot. Whoever said that the swag look looks hotter than the formal look, they are wrong!

He placed out his hand and put mine on it. Hand in hand we walked towards our designated area.

"Ready?"

We nodded.

"Just act natural."

The shoot was fun. We didn't struggle with the shots. Xander would carry me bridal style and I would just smile while holding onto his neck. We would lie on the grass while he plays with my fingers. We took a lot of shots. My favourite shot was when he hugged me from the back while I held his cheek and we were lost in each other's eyes.

"You both were great! I swear bagay na bagay talaga kayo! Thank heavens at nagtagpo ulet kayo!" Lia said while helping me get out of my gown.

Sabay sabay kaming umalis ng mall at kumain sa condo. Another reunion!
