Chapter 42: All my life..

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Ma, si Gino po?" kumunot ung noo nya.

'Gino? Ahhh ung future mo.. Akala ko kasama mo?" naningkit ung mata ko.

"Sabi niya mauuna siya.. Grr. lagot sakin ung lalaking un!" natatawa naman sila Andrea at Kiko.

"Iinom muna ko ng tubig.. Humanda lang ung lalaking un pagpumunta siya dito!" dumerecho na ko ng bahay at uminom ng tubig.

Paglabas ko sa may garden, m-may stage..and to my surprise.. nakatayo dun si Gino. Yung pamilya ko naman parang audience nya.

"Ahh. Test. Mic test." sabi nya habang tinatap ung Mic.

"Ahh.. hehe.." napahawak siya sa batok nya. "Hindi ko talaga alam kung san magsisimula, pero sige, eto na, serious na. Sorry kung akala mo, may ginawa akong iba. Pero may ginawa naman talaga kong iba.. at eto un. I'm not very good at surprises kaya I needed help from your family. Syempre bago ako nanghingi ng tulong, I formally introduced myself, wag kang mag-alala. Tapos eto na nga, t-teka hindi ko na alam sasabihin ko.. De joke.."

Natatawa ako sa ginagawa niya, halatang walang experience sa speech.

"So eto na nga, gusto ko lang sabihin na mahal na mahal kita at syempre I love you din Mikki.." pumalakpak naman si Mikki.

"Pasensya kung hindi kagandahan ung speech ko kaya kakanta na lang ako.." biglang lumabas si Jason, Kats, Les at Sed.

Nagsimula ng tumugtog pero hindi pa kumakanta si Gino. Lumapit sya sakin at dinala ako kay Mommy. Hawak niya lang ung kamay ko.

Ma'am, I'm a bit nervous about being here today
Still not real sure what I'm going to say
So bare with me please
If I take up too much of your time. 

See in this box is a ring for your oldest.
She's my everything and all that I know is
It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side
Cause very soon I'm hoping that I... 

Can marry your daughter and make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'til the day that I die, yeah

Nung kinanta nya ung part na un sumimangot si Mikki.

I'm gonna marry your princess and make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
When she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her brother
On the day that I marry your daughter
