QOL 09: PREPARATION

CHAPTER 09: PREPARATION

---
(MAX's POV)

Andito kami sa garden. Kami lang ang nandito. Si Russel, Belle at Chester. Anong meron?

WE'RE PREPARING FOR CHESTER's CONFESSION!

Yeah! You read it right! Magcoconfess na ang ang unggoy na si Chester! Atlast! Nitong mga nakaraang linggo pala, kaya pala dota nang dota ang kumag kase nagtatanggal nang stress. Nag iisip daw siya nang plano niya. Kaya eto. Nagpatulong siya sa barkada.

Napag-usapan namin na kaming Apat nalang muna dito and the rest, sila nang bahala kay Mary. Kailangan di siya makauwi dito nang nagpeprepare pa kami. Kailangan namin siyang malibang. Friday night naman na ngayon. So pwede kaming mag puyat.

"Sa wakas! Tapos na rin!" Russ exclaimed.

Nagtabi-tabi kaming apat sa may door nang garden to look at it.

May rose petals everywhere. Yung path naman papuntang mini stage ay candles na maliliit. Tas yung screen ready na. May table din para sakanila. Candle light dinner. Usual.

"Okay na pala." I said.

I heard Chester sighed. Katabi ko kasi siya. Sobrang lalim nang paghinga niya. He's tensed. Nervous. I chuckled. Damn! The Great Chester Sarmiento is Nervous! Hahahaha!

"Bakit ka tumatawa?" he beamed.

I shrugged. "Can't help it. You look like you will just collapsed! You're too nervous!" I blurted.

He crinkled his nose. "English ka pa jan! Tigilan mo nga ako." nakasimangot niyang sabi tsaka ako nilayasan. Si Russel pumasok muna sa loob at nagugutom na daw siya. Naiwan kami ni Belle.

Pareho kaning nakatingala sa langit. I heard her sigh.

"Finally." she said.

"They'll be reunited." I continued.

I heard her giggled. I look at her. She's smiling. "Do you think they will be the end game of each other?" she asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know. I'm not Mina or Cupid or Psyche, who can see the red strings that are connecting to people's heart. Like in Karmic Heart. I'm just called The Queen of Love." I said and chuckled.

Natawa nalang din siya. "Wattpad pa, Max." iling niyang sabi.

Well, nakakaadik magbasa non. Tsaka nakakatulong din naman. Yun nga lang, it will give you false hope.

"You are called a queen without a king. Isn't frustrating?" she asked out of the blue.

Napaisip ako sa sinabi niya. Yeah, she's right. I'm called a queen without a king.

"Frustrating? Not really, couz." I said and shrugged.

Tinaasan niya ako nang kilay. "And why?"

I shook my head. "I don't know." I smiled.

"Why don't you look for your King? It's been a year Max. Talaga bang gagampanan mo nalang yang pagiging Love expert mo?" she joked.

I look up again. "I told you, Belle. You don't need to look for love. Because we cannot see Love. We only feel it. And yes. I know it's been a year. I moved on. I have accepted the fact that we're done.. We're over. That we're not the end game." I said and smiled.

She chuckled. "Bakit ba ako nag didiscusa sayo tungkol sa love? Pati paghahanap mo jan sa King mo pinag aaksayahan ko pa, eh alam ko namang kaya mo na yan."

I nodded. "I just need to open my eyes, especially my heart. How 'bout you? Ano nang nangyare sainyo ni Buenaventura? Do you guys get along?"

Her brows went straight at her forehead crease. "Me and that cold hearted guy?! Are you insane, Max? Asa ka pa sa kumag na yon! Kainis!" she hissed.

Gusto kong matawa sa itsura niya. Mukang nasira ko ang mood ni gaga.

"What ever you say. Let's just hope for the two to be together."
