A Shotgun Marriage [COMPLETED]

Chapter 47: Ten Fifty

Chapter 47: Ten Fifty

~*~

*Hazel's POV*

I was astonished to see myself so pretty infront of the mirror. I know I'm beautiful*insert smile here pero iba 'to eh... Maybe because the dress was from Clash.

"Hazel... tapos ka na ba?" may kumatok sa pintuan ng kwarto ko.

"sandali!" I shouted back.

I stood, smiling infront of the lifesize mirror. I'm wearing a royal blue, strapless, empire waisted taffeta dress. Nakaka-nosebleed i-describe, pero pinag-aralan ko kasi iyan sa modelling school na in-attend-an ko kaya alam ko. I fixed my curled hair and the white headband sitting on top of my head. My look is simple yet I know it's beautiful... the dress is partnered with a green pendant. Blue is my favorite color... while green is the color of peridot. Peridot is my birthstone... paano nalaman ni Clash iyon? Naka-kitten heels lang din ako dahil baka madapa daw ako sa mataas na heels. Tss.

Lahat ng suot ko ngayon, all of these were the contents of the box Clash has given me through France and Drew. Hindi ko alam kung para saan pero sinuot ko nalang ayon sa sabi nila sa akin. Nang makuntento ako sa pagtitig sa harap ng salamin, I decided to open the door na. The two guys are standing far from where I am but I can still see both of them talking. May pinag-uusapan ata silang importante.

"hey." Tawag ko. Napalingon naman silang dalawa.

"wow... Hazel... mature ka na talaga." Sabi ni Kuya Andrew.

I laughed. "so, I already did what you said, now, where's Clash?"

~*~

"where we going?" tanong ko kay Francis na siyang nagmamaneho ng kotse.

"sa Diamond Palace." Sagot ni Kuya Drew na siyang naka-upo sa driver's side.

"Clash is already there?! He left me inside the house and now... he's there?!" sigaw ko.

"oh... chill. Baka manganak ka ng 'di oras diyan eh. Hindi pa ako lisensiyadong doctor kaya hinayhinay ka lang." sabi ni Francis habang tumatawa.

"but he left me with the two of you! How can he be so selfish leaving me and going there first by himself..." sabi ko.

"may rason naman siguro siya." Napakamot ng batok si Kuya Drew. "alam mo, tama nga yung gagong iyon... madakdak ka."

And there goes their laugh. I scoffed at them. "that's not even funny!" I whined but they just laughed louder because of that. Augh! Ano bang problema nila? Tss. Ilang minutes rin akong naka-upo sa likod ng kotse bago kami nakarating sa Diamond Palace. "may tao ba diyan?" tanong ko. The place is empty. Parang walang party dito.

"oo nga noh." Lumabas ng kotse si Francis.

"are you kidding me? Baka naman hindi sa Diamond Palace ang venue!" I cried.

"dito... imposibleng hindi." Sabi ni Kuya Andrew. He too got out of the car. Nag-usap silang dalawa ni Francis then may tinawagan si Francis sa phone niya. I don't know who they called pero after the call, France asked me kung dala ko ang phone ko, I showed it to him and he said na tatanungin lang daw muna nila yung desk sa loob ng Palace then they left.

"they just instructed me to wait here all alone..." Bulong ko. "...and they told me that they'lle be talking to the desk. Tsk." I shook my head. "how can a stupid desk talk?!" I frowned the whole time there. "Baby Pao... magagalit ka ba kung lalabas si Mama?" tanong ko. I assumed my child said yes. Siguradong ayaw niya ring naghihintay. But the time I opened the door to go out, biglang may nagvibrate sa inuupan ko. It's my phone. And the one calling is... "Clash?!" agad kong sinagot yung tawag pagkakita kung sino. "where are you?! Why are you doing this to me?!

'oh... chill.' Tumawa siya. 'Nasaan ka na?'

"I should be the one asking you that, idiot!" sigaw ko habang lumalabas ng kotse.

'sumisigaw ka na naman.' Sabi niya.

"because you're stressing me..." sabi ko. "...nasaan ka na ba?"

'you don't look stressed.' Sabi niya.

"ha? Anong don't look stressed?! Haggard na ako dito noh." I even waved my hands up the air.

'mukha kang baliw.' At narinig ko siyang tumawa.

"anong mukhang baliw?! Baka ikaw! Nasaan ka ba? Andrew and Francis left me all alone here." Reklamo ko.

'mas maganda ka kasi kung ikaw lang mag-isa... ang papanget ng dalawang iyon eh.'

"Clash... enough of your crazy antics... nasaan ka na ba?" seryosong tanong ko sa kaniya.

'ang ganda mo. Bagay mo ang dress na iyan. Tama nga si Roro... kahit ano babagay sa'yo.'

I stopped myself from fuming. Nakita niya ako na suot 'to? "how'd you know na..." umikot ako. Looking around... hoping to find him pero ako lang talaga ng tao dito sa baba. Ang tahimik sa paligid.

'ten fifty...' sabi niya sa kabilang linya.

"anong ten fifty?! Hey Clash... magbasa aka nga ng maayos, three o'clock na ng hapon. Buti nga hindi gaanong mainit dito eh." Bulong ko.

'no... I mean... tumingin ka... ten fifty. Sa taas. Parang relo. Ten fifty.' Sabi niya. I slowly moved my head up. Ten fifty... north west he says? Tumingin ako sa direction, the same as ten fifty.

And there I saw him, looking at me from the rooftop of Diamond Palace. "nakita na kita." Sabi ko.

'aah... buti naman.' I can sense that he's smiling but I frowned at the next words he said... 'ngayon pumikit ka. Tapos bumilang ka twenty seconds backwards.' Sabi niya.

"tsk. Bakit ko naman gagawin iyan ha?! At saka Clash, anong ginagawa mo diyan? Nasaan na yung party?"

'magbilang ka na.'

"tell me why..." sabi ko. "...or else hindi ko gagawin."

Nakita kong napahawak siya sa batok niya. 'time is running, milady. Just do it. Close your eyes and count twenty backwards.'

I rolled my eyes at him. He and his crazy mind. May pa-milady milady pa siyang nalalaman. Tss. I slowly closed my eyes and counted. "20...19...18..." I can hear footsteps from the other line. Parang may tumatakbo. I didn't bother to ask. Trip niya iyan, ginusto niya iyan eh. "...4...3...2...1..."

"ibaba mo na." Nabigla pa ako nang may magsalita.

There is no one infront of me. Pero nabigla pa ako lalo nang biglang may tumakip ng mga mata ko. The person turned me around and he or she slowly released me. May sumabog na confetties. There are too many people... nagsigawan sila...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

My eyes went wide. Surprise invading my whole system. Napatakip ako ng bibig sa gulat. Pero mas nagulat pa ako sa nagback-hug sa akin. With those hands is a bouquet of roses... He kissed my jaw and he whispered something to my ears.

"Happy 20th Birthday, Honey."
