Just The Two Of Us (Completed)

Chapter 76 - Gender Reveal

Maine's POV

On our way back to Nuvali, Rizza and Celestine  never stops planning on how the gender reveal dinner will be.  We all decided to have an intimate dinner with the whole family only plus few of our chosen friends for this milestone.  We are not a celebrity to have a grand gender reveal party.  The more lowkey it is, much better for us.

“Maybe we could have  a stick wherein at the tip there is a lip or a mustache, then we will have our guest get two sticks each, depends on their guess on the babies’ gender” Rizza suggested.  “Then the revelation will be on the cake, ako na ang bahalang gumawa nun Ate Maine, I just need lots and lots of nips since isa naman yung sa pinaglihihan mo”

“Then we will have reward for those guest who guess it correctly” Celestine added

“Very clever baby Celestine, a reward would add more fun in it” Rizza said

“Ikaw na ang bahala Rizza, I leave all the preparation to you, kung ako kasi ang gagawa nun malamang wala pang Friday, mabubuko na ng Kuya mo yung gender ng babies” I said

“Mukhang excited ang apo ko sa pagdating ng kambal” Nanay Mary said while Rizza and Celestine continue discussion about the dinner

“Mas excited pa nga yan kesa sa amin ni RJ” I replied

“She is very fortunate to have a family such as yours anak.  Napakaswerte mo kay RJ” Nanay Mary commented “I could say na hindi kami nagkamali sa desisyon namin na ipakasal kayo.  I admit, ang laki ng takot ko nung pumayag ka sa arrangement na ‘to.  Hindi ko kasi alam kung paano kayo mamumuhay sa ganong sitwasyon.  Pero mukhang kaming lahat ang ginamit ng tadhana para mapagtagpo kayong dalawa.” She further said

“Tama ka po Nay, wala talagang makakapigil sa tadhana eh” I replied smiling   

“At wala kayong nagawa nung na in love na kayo sa isa’t-isa” Nanay Mary replied.  “Ngayon, hindi na ako natatakot, I am so happy for you Menggay ko kasi alam kong hindi ka na mag-isang tatanda, meron nang RJ na mag-aalaga sa yo at mga anak na alam kong mapapalaki mong mabubuting tao” she added

“And it is all because of you and Tatay, kanino ko pa ba malalaman kung paano magpalaki ng maayos sa mga anak kundi sa inyo ni Tatay.  Thank you po Nay, you and Tatay are always there for me and Dean and Ate Nica” I said

“I wish you Ate Nica is here to see how happy you are now para hindi na sya ma-guilty sa pag-alis nya at pag-back-out sa kasal nila ni RD” Nanay sadly said

“Ang tagal na nun Nay, sana pauwiin na ni Tatay si Ate Nica at si Lolo Danny sana  payagan na rin makabalik ng Pilipinas si Kuya RD.  Gusto kasi namin ni RJ na gawin ninong at ninang ng kambal ang mga kapatid namin at para makita na rin nila na may dahilan bakit nangyari ang lahat ng ito.  Ate Nica and Kuya RD at not meant to be, same goes with me and Kuya RD because the universe said that it should be RJ and I” I replied

“Sige anak, kakausapin ko ulit si Tatay, baka pwedeng kahit bakasyon lang, makauwi si Ate Nica mo” Nanay said

As expected, Rizza and I got too busy preparing for the gender reveal dinner, (not much of me pala, baka magalit si Dra. Sanchez … hehehe).  Both of us are very careful on the preparation.  Masyado kasing smart ang asawa ko, kapag sa bahay naman kami gumawa ni Rizza, malamang mabubuko kami.  Pati nga yung cake, Rizza needs to bake it sa house ng friend nya para siguradong walang makakakita. 

We prefer not to let Celestine know the gender too, mahirap nang sya ang mag-squeal sa daddy nya.  At this point in time, I do not trust that Celestine can keep the secret, hindi marunong magsinungaling ang bagets kaya mas maganda nang wala syang alam.
