I smiled in front of the mirror as I saw myself wearing a white fitted off shoulder dress that merely hugs my petite body. Nakalugay naman ang buhok ko na bahagyang kinulot ang dulo.
My ring was shining as I saw its reflection in the mirror. Napangiti ako dahil sa ganda nito.
"Iba din kapag in love no?" Si Amara.
She was brushing my hair while looking ourselves in the mirror. Napangisi ako dahil sinabi niya.
She's wearing a beige color satin dress. Her hair was a half tied pony tail. Light lang din ang make-up niya gaya sa akin but her features were more define.
"Masaya ako dahil si Rad din pala end game mo," aniya pa.
"Sa tagal niyong dalawa. Wala na atang makakasira sa inyo" dagdag niya pa at umiling.
"I hope so. Kaya magbati na kayo ni Dayle. Baka kayo susunod na ikakasal sa amin eh" sabi ko at ngumisi.
I saw her rolling her eyes kaya mas lalo akong natawa.
"Ewan ko sa'yo. Let's go!" ani Amara at kinuha ang purse niya sa kama.
Everyone is probably down stairs waiting for us. We came back to the Philippines and decided to just have our engagement party in our house. Nakakatuwa nga dahil sumama sila Tita Camora at nila Edmund dito.
Even my friends. Sina Miro at nila Arkie umuwi din para pumunta ng party. I was so happy to see them again in one frame.
Kaya ng makababa ako ay agad nila akong sinalubong ng malaking ngiti.
"Congratulations hija!"
One of my parent's friend told me. Ngumiti lang ako at nagbeso sa kanya. Some figures were not familiar for me. Pero sigurado ako na kaibigan ito ng mga magulang ko.
"Look to your right. Mukhang may kakain sa'yo ng buhay ngayon ah," si Amara.
Bigla niya akong binitawan at ngumisi ng makita si Rad sa di kalayuan. I stared at him as I saw him walking towards our direction. He was looking at me intently kaya tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay.
Bago pa man ako makapagsalita. His hand immediately snake around my waist. Tonight he was wearing a black suit. Ngumiti ako dahil sa kanyang tindig. He's freaking hot tonight. Lalo na at naka fix ang kanyang buhok.
"Hey beautiful," aniya at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.
Narinig ko naman ang pagtikhim ni Amara sa likuran. Agad namin siyang binalingan kaya umiling na lang ito.
"Sorry ha single ako eh," aniya at humalukipkip.
"Dayle is here. He's just waiting for you to come back so you can—" si Rad pero pinigilan din ni Amara.
"Ewan ko sa inyong dalawa! I'll just roam around instead. By the way congratulations!" Aniya at bumeso sa amin bago umalis.
Ngumisi na lang kami ni Rad bago nagsimulang maglakad sa mga tables. Everyone was greeting us from old friends and relatives. Halos lahat ng kamag-anak ni Rad ay nandito.
I'm not not close to some of them. But I know Jefrey and Colen. His cousins. Kaya ngumiti ako ng makasalubong sila.
"I would like to congratulate Rad and Wendy for their engagement. I knew from the very beginning that they would be a great couple. I'm happy that they both ended up together."
Si Amara ng isa-isa ng nagbigay ng speech ang mga kaibigan ko. Nagsimula na ding kumain kaya halos maingay na ang buong paligid.
My parents and his parents were both in one table. Kasama namin silang kumakain kaya halos hindi na matigil ang usapan namin.
