Juliet and Cinderella (GL) [Book I & II, Completed]

Chapter 18

Seriously, what's with her? Kanina, ayaw nilang magreply sa text ko then now she's ruining my sleep. Isa pa si Cindy, she rejected my call kanina and texted me na huwag muna ako pumunta sa kanila. I texted her why but she didn't text me back na? Now, I wonder. Did I do something wrong? Is she mad at me? I sigh. Monthsarry na namin maya-maya. Sana tanggapin niya yung gift ko.

"No. Sasama ka sa akin." She says sternly.

I frown. "Why? Can it wait tomorrow?"

"Basta! Lumabas ka na, now na!" She demands and mabilis na pinatay ang tawag before I can even complain.

I sigh and shake my head. Ano pa nga bang magagawa ko.

I quickly go outside the house pagkatapos maghilamos at magpalit ng damit. I'm wearing a loose tank top and sweat pants. I saw her in the front of the gate, waiting patiently. I open the gate. She looks at me at tiningnan ang kabuuan ko.

I frown at her."What?"

"Wala," She mumbles and shakes her head. "Pwede na 'yan. Halika na."

"Wait. Where are we going? Ang late na, Dianne." I complain.

"Basta! Huwag nang madaming angal!" Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at ipinasok ako sa loob ng car niya. Ow, she brings her car too seldom. I wonder kung anong meron today.

She quickly jumps right on the driver's seat pagkatapos kong makapasok sa loob. She starts driving fast after niyang buhayin ang makina.

"Hey, Dianne, chill!" I yell. Para akong nenerbyosin sa ginagawa niya.

"Relax! Wala nang masyadong sasakyan, it will be fine." She assures me with a chuckle.

I eyed her suspiciously. "Just make sure, Dianne. I don't want to die yet. I'm gonna marry Cindy pa."

"Nakow! Huwag mo akong banatan ng kaharutan mo. Magpapasalamat ka pa sa ginagawa ko ngayon, swear." She says meaningfully.

"And why is that?"

"You'll know later." She winks at me and smile.

Minutes later, I notice na familiar yung kalsadang dinadaanan namin. "Dianne?"

"Relax, malapit na tayo."

"Why are we—"

"Basta." She cuts me off. Fine, I'll shut up.

Dianne stops the car finally. Napatingin ako sa time ng phone ko, it's exactly midnight na. Monthsarry na namin. Lumabas na kami ng sasakyan at namangha dahil ang liwanag ng bahay na tinitingnan namin ngayon. I look at her. "Anong meron sa bahay nina Cindy?"

She smiles teasingly. "Why don't you see for yourself? Lakad na."

Napatingin ulit ako sa bahay ng girlfriend ko, maliwanag talaga. I nod without looking at my friend at nag-start nang maglakad. I notice that there are scented candles everywhere. It smells comforting. Also, marami ring nakakalat na flower petals sa dinadaanan ko. This place looks so romantic.

As I walk closer to the door, unti-unti akong nakarinig ng sound ng piano. May tumutugtog sa loob. I breathed in and out before I open the door. I can't help but gasp.

There she is, Cindy, in the middle of this four cornered living room, playing an instrument. Napaka-graceful niyang tingnan sa pagtipa ng piano keyboard. She looks like an angel.

Nahiya tuloy ako sa suot kong tank top and sweat pants. Kung alam ko lang na mangyayari 'to edi sana nag-ready ako. She looks gorgeous on her white dress, she looks cool and perfect. Well, everything about her is perfect naman, eh.
