MY DREAM WEDDING " MAYWARD" Completed

CHAPTER 5

Naparalisa so Edward as kanyang kinatatayuan nang mamukhaan niya ang babaeng tumawag sa kanyang pangalan. If this were a nightmare, he wished he'd wake up right now. Of all the women in the world that he'd wanted to see again, maymay would be the last on his list.
     "Niloloko ba ninyo ako?" Galit na tanong ni maymay at tumingin Kay Hannah. Just like him, she did not appreciate this encounter. "Is this the reason why you hired me? Para ipamukha sa akin na ikakasal na kayo ng ex-boyfriend ko?"
   Hannah was dumbfounded, and then laughed. " Excuse me. I just don't have any choice dahil nagmamadali na kami."
    " well, I don't care," sagot ng dalaga at pinulot ang mga gamit. " maghanap ka ng wedding planner na makakatiis sa pag uugali mo."
      "Well, who's talking? Sino ba ang nawalan ng boyfriend dahil sa sama ng kanyang ugali?"
    "At sino ba ang nanulot?"
    Biglang tinakpan ni Edward ang bibig ni Hannah bago pa ito makapagsalita. Alam niyang mag-aaway na ang dalawang ito. "Ladies, stop it."
   "Ladies, stop it." Nang uuyam na ulit ni maymay  sa kanyang sinabi. "Busalan mo kaya ang bunganga  niyang fiancee mong 'yan. Yan ba ang ipinalit mo sa akin? Yuck"
    Lihim na napailing so Edward. My God, maymay was still a brat just as how she was four years ago. Sa haba ng panahong lumipas at wala pa ring nagbago Tito, maliban na lang siguro sa malaki nitong eyebags at mahabang buhok. Her face was still as pretty  as how he remembered it, with her big brown eyes edged with long thicks lashes, narrow bridged nose, and small pinkish pair of lips. She used to wear her hair short, but now she'd grown them longer. The way the silky strands of black straight hair hang loosely halfway her back gave her a more mature look. She was now a beautiful woman, rather than the cute pretty girl he once knew.
    "Yuck ka diyan." Hannah managed to take his hand off her mouth. " ang sabihin mo, naiinggit ka at nangungulubot na 'yang mukha mo, pero wala ka  pang asawa."
    Nanlisik ang mga mata ni maymay. Akala ng binata at sasabunutan na nito so Hannah kaya inihanda niya ang sarili na harangan ito, but to his surprise, his former flame managed to control her temper.
    "At least, one hundred percent natural, pati mga kulubot ko'y natural. Eh, ikaw? Fake! Pati ugali mo, fake!" Napatingin ito sa kanya." Pati 'yang boyfriend mo fake din! Puro ka fake."
    "What about it?" Sagot ni Hannah na Parang Hindi man lang na-offend sa sinabi ni maymay . " beauty is only skin deep.  So what's the difference if it is fake or not?"
    "Lalabas lang naman sa mga magiging anak mo ang totoo. Magmumukhang tsonggo silang lahat."
   "My God! Would you listen to what you're saying?"
   "I heard. Baka gusto mong ulitin ko?" Hamon ni maymay
Edward had enough. Pag-uumpugin na niya sana ang dalawa, ngunit mabilis na naglakad palayo si maymay.
"Panget!" Pahabol na sigaw ni Hannah dito.
"Fake!" Bigla itong lumingon sa kanila. "Pati puwet mo. Akala mo di ko napansin? Fake din 'yan. And I'm sure, pati 'yang boobs mo "
  "Hoy, natural ang boobs ko! Palibhasa kasi 'yang boobs mo ay parang kinagat lang ng langgam."
   "At least, Hindi fake. Ikaw, mula ulo hanggang paa, fake. Magsama kayo ng boyfriend mong fake." Nakalayo na so maymay sa magnobyo.
  Bago pa muling makasagot so Hannah at tinakpan ulit ni Edward ang bibig nito. " tama na 'yan. Para kayong bata."
   "Iniinsulto niya ako, eh."
    "Hindi mo siya kailangan patulan. Alam mo naman nang gan" un ang ugali niyan."
  " nakakainis eh. Pakialam ba niya kung nagpasurgery ako."
  "At ano ba kasi'ng ginagawa niya dito? If I heard it right, you hired her as a wedding planner.
    Hindi kaagad nakaimik si Hannah. " it was too late nung malaman Kong co-owner siya ni pat. Pinirmahan ko na yung kontrata."
  " you can cancel it. Rural pati siya mukhang Hindi na rin interesado. If the decision is mutual between the parties then there can be no breach of contract."
  "Hindi puwede."
Nangunot ang kanyang noo. "What? Don't  tell me you still want her to plan your wedding kahit nag-aaway na kayo."
  "Gusto ko 'yung idea niya sa reception, at saka ang gaganda ng mga designs niya ng wedding gown. Kung nakita mo lang sana."
  Huminga siya nang malalim." Hannah, maymay is my ex-girlfriend. Doesn't that bother you?"
  "Not at all" mabilis nitong tugon. "Does it bother you?"
For a moment, he could not speak. This woman was testing him."are you sure?"
  "Yes. Unless you have a problem with that."
Edward knew that look in her eyes. Nagsususpetsa ito sa kanya. " Don't give me that look. I was through with her four years ago. Kinalimutan ko na siya."
Napangiti si Hannah. ":yun naman pala, eh. So ano'ng problema mo?"
   He sighed again. Hindi niya Alam kung bakit, ngunit para sa kanya ay Hindi magandang idea na si maymay ang magiging wedding planner nila. Pero kung iyon ang gusto ni Hannah, wala siyang magagawa.
    "Fine, but I don't think she'd want to work with you."
     "She will. Wala siyang magagawa. May kontrata na kami."
     Minasahe ni Edward ang kanyang noo para maparamdam ang pananakit ng kanyang ulo. Hindi niya maintindihan kung ano ang NASA isip ni Hannah. Napakaraming wedding planners na ang nagbigay ng kani- kanilang proposals dito, ngunit kung bakit ang Kay maymay pa ang nagustuhan nito.
