Love Next Door

35 - Mr. & Mrs. Teng

MIKA

I opened my eyes when I felt someone shaking me by the shoulders.

"Hay salamat, nagising din! Bangon na po at marami pa tayong gagawin.", I heard Ara's voice as I closed my eyes again.

"Sige na, pumasok na kayo...

Ako na lang taong-bahay dito...

Bakasyon ko naman eh.", I replied, still disoriented.

"Ay kaloka si ateng! Na-amnesia yata.

Hoy Mika Reyes! Baka nakakalimutan mo. Magiging misis ka na ngayong araw na 'to.

Nag-absent nga lang kami para samahan ka eh.", Carol said.

O_____O

I opened my eyes at once and got up from my lying position.

I kept on slapping my face with both hands, forcing myself to wake up from this dream.

"Hala siyaaaa.

Daks, itigil mo na yan.

Kung gusto mong mamula yang mukha mo, may blush on naman kami dito.

At hindi ka nananaginip."

NOOOOOO

This can't be real!!!

HUHUHU

"Yan, yan. Tama yang reaction mo, baks. Kasi mamaya na yung kasal mo pero wala ka pang isusuot.", Carol said and I looked at her in confusion.

"O, hindi mo naman balak sumipot doon ng naka-maong, diba?"

I rubbed my face with both hands, realizing how unprepared I am for today...

And for the days to come.

"Bumangon ka na diyan. Hindi natin mapipigilan ang pagsapit ng alas-tres kaya paghandaan mo na lang.", sermon ni Ara sakin.

I couldn't help but let out a long and deep sigh.

Way to end the first week of my summer vacation. T___T

Thomas Torres: Today's the day! Woot!

Arnold Van Opstal: Ready to get hitched, Teng?

Jeron Teng: You bet. Wag kayong ma-late ah!

I want this.

I want this badly.

To be honest, kay Mika nga ako kinakabahan. She might have second thoughts about marrying me.

The last time we talked was last night and she hasn't sent me any message yet.

Alam mo yung feeling na kailangan mo ng confirmation on the day itself kung tuloy ba yung lakad?

That's how I feel right now. Bilis pa naman mag-desisyon ng babaeng 'to.

To: Mika Reyes

Tuloy ba tayo?|

Ano ba 'to.

Erase. It's like I'm giving her the option to say no.
