Arf! Arf! Arf!
Nagising si Alyssa sa tahol ng aso at bigla siyang napabangon nung na-realize niya na wala naman silang dalang aso nung nag-check in sila ng barkada sa resort kahapon. When the Yorkie licked her hand and looked up at her, she noticed the note attached to its collar.
Happy Birthday!
My name is BingBong, please keep me so I can make you happy everyday.
Alyssa: Hi BingBong! Ang cute mo naman. Sige, akin ka na lang. Sabihin mo sa amo mo, thank you.
BingBong jumped into Alyssa's arms. He was snuggling into her as she looked around her room and saw flowers and balloons scattered all over. Natatawa siyang napailing sa surprise na hinanda ni Kiefer para sa birthday niya.
Alyssa: Hay naku BingBong, ang dami talagang pakulo niyang amo mo.
BingBong: Arf! Arf!
*toot toot*
From Besh Ella:
Good morning Besh! Gising ka na ba? Labas ka na. Follow the rose petals, okay? :-)
Alyssa: Rose petals? Anong rose petals? Loko-loko talaga 'tong si Besh kahit kelan.
Iniwan saglit ni Alyssa si BingBong sa kama para mag-ayos ng sarili. Pagkatapos, lumabas siya ng kwarto nila nina Ella at Denden ng kasunod si BingBong. Suddenly, Ella's text made sense when she was greeted with a path of red and white rose petals that stretched from outside their room to the direction of the resort's gardens.
Tulad ng bilin ni Ella, sinundan niya 'yong petals at napangiti siya ng dinala siya ng mga 'to kay Kiefer who was waiting for her with a very nervous expression on his face. Tatanungin dapat ni Alyssa si Kiefer kung bakit siya kinakabahan nung nakita niya sa likod nito 'yong 'Will you marry me?' spelled out in big blue wooden letters.
Lumapit si Kiefer, huminga siya ng malalim bago niya kinuha 'yong kamay ni Alyssa at lumuhod sa harap nito.
Kiefer: We've been together three years, and although it hasn't been a perfect relationship, from the start alam ko ng ikaw 'yong gusto kong makasama for the rest of my life.
He reached into his pocket and took out the ring that he helped design.
Kiefer: Alyssa Valdez, w-will you marry me and give me the honor of taking care of you until the day I die?
Hindi makapagsalita si Alyssa. The question wasn't totally unexpected kasi napapag-usapan naman nila 'yong pagse-settle down, but for some reason speechless pa rin siya. Gustuhin man niyang sumagot, pero ayaw lumabas ng boses niya.
Kiefer: Uy Babe, sumagot ka naman. Ayaw mo bang maging Mrs Kiefer Ravena?
Alyssa: Ayoko.
Kiefer: Ha?! B-bakit? Akala ko ba read -
Alyssa: (ngumiti) Ayoko ng Mrs Kiefer Ravena kasi ang gusto ko Mrs Alyssa Valdez-Ravena. Mas maganda 'yon diba? Mas masarap pakinggan.
Kiefer: Y-you mean...?
Alyssa: Oo Kief, yes ang sagot ko. Yes, I will marry you.
The words were barely out of Alyssa's mouth nung nagmamadaling isuot ni Kiefer sa kanya 'yong singsing na hawak nito. Pagkatapos, tumayo si Kiefer and just as he was about pull Alyssa towards him for a kiss, she noticed that he was crying.
Alyssa: O, bakit ka umiiyak? Hindi ka ba masaya na nag-yes ako?
Kiefer: Masaya 'ko Babe, sobrang saya. Tears of relief lang 'yan kasi akala ko kanina magno-no ka.
Using her fingers, Alyssa wiped Kiefer's tears dry before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
Alyssa: Bakit naman ako magno-no sa 'yo? Boyfriend na nga kita, bestfriend pa. And honestly, you're everything I've always wanted in a future husband.
Ngumiti si Kiefer kay Alyssa and then hugged her. After what seemed like hours, bumitaw si Kiefer and looked Alyssa in the eye.
Kiefer: Happy birthday future Wife!
Alyssa: Than -
BingBong: Arf! Arf!
Everyone: Hahaha...
Nagulat si Alyssa nung narinig niyang may nakikitawa sa kanila ni Kiefer. She looked around and saw the barkada hiding in various places. Natawa na lang siya sa sarili niya, kasi kung tutuusin, hindi na siya dapat nagulat. After all, wala namang ibang kokontsabahin si Kiefer kung di 'yong mga kabarkada nila.
Kiefer: Sige na Guys, pwede na kayong lumabas. She already saw you.
Isa-isang naglabasan sina Ella, Denden, Von, Fonzo, at Nico sa mga pinagtaguan nila. The boys high fived Kiefer and congratulated him for not breaking into tears before popping the question. Sina Ella't Denden on the other hand, after i-congratulate 'yong dalawa, pinagkaguluhan 'yong engagement ring ni Alyssa.
Ella: Besh, patingin naman ng engagement ring mo.
Alyssa handed her engagement ring to Ella and then turned to Denden to ask her something. But before she could say a word, naagaw ni Ella 'yong atensyon nila ni Denden nung biglang sinuot nito 'yong singsing niya.
Denden: Hala! Patingin lang tapos biglang sinuot. Dahan-dahan ka diyan, baka hindi mo na matanggal 'yan sa daliri mo.
Ella: Anong gusto mong palabasin? Na mataba 'yong daliri ko?
Denden: Ikaw ang nagsabi niyan, hindi ako.
Von: Grabe ka Denden, wala namang ganyanan.
Nico: Uuuyyy...pinagtatanggol.
Fonzo: Siyempre, baka hindi siya sagutin eh.
Everyone except Von and Ella: Hahaha...
Alyssa: Ay naku, tumigil na nga tayo. Baka kung saan pa mapunta 'tong asaran na 'to.
Kiefer: Tama. Mag-breakfast na lang tayo tapos tulungan niyo kaming magplano ng kasal ni Aly.
Ella and Denden: Excited?!
Kiefer: Siyempre! Sino bang hindi mae-excite makasal sa (akbay kay Alyssa) babaeng mahal niya?
