"Ugggh!!!" I grunted in frustration habang napahiga ako sa magulo kong kama
"Holy shit! Nina!!!!" ang sabi ni Meg when she walked right in front of my room. it was messy, clothes were everywhere.
ang kalat talaga! my closet was open.. my dressers were too even my drawer was left there wide open. and every corner of my floor was filled with clothes, dresses, jeans and top... you name it!
"Its as if bumalik si Ondoy dito sa kwarto mo ah?" ang sabi niya when isa isa niyang kinuha ang mga damit na yun mula sa sahig
"Meg!! i dont have anything to wear for tonight!" i grunted as i sat up from the bed. magulo din ang buhok ko and napakunot ang mukha ko na parang haggard na haggard
"PPPFFT! HAHAHHAHAHAHA" ang sabi ni Meg when napatingin na siya sa akin.
"Look at you" sabay gesture niya sa akin habang nagpipigil sa katatawa
"Hindi lang kwarto ang magulo, even your hair .. pwedeng pwede na gawing pugad ng ibon!"
at tuluyan na nga siyang bumigay sa katatawa habang hawak hawak ang tyan niya
"Meg!!!" sabay tapon ko ng unan ko sa mukha niya
"you're not helping at all!" i added as i stood up from the bed while both hands were on my hips
"Sorry naman" she said when she picked up the pillow that i threw on her
"what's with all these?" ang sabi niya habang tinitingnan ang room kong makalat
"and you .. all stressed out?" she pointed out.. arms were crossed on top of her sando
"Well.............................................................................................."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nina Angela Fernandez!" ang sabi na kaibigan ko mula sa ibaba.
nag po-ponytail pa ako ng buhok ko when she called out.. kakalabas ko lang mula sa pintuan ng pad niya when i saw her impatiently tapped her espadrilles on the floor
"Its about time!" ang sabi niya and immediately walked towards the front door of the apartment and went to the parking lot while i followed her closely behind
it was almost 1in the afternoon, and Meg decided na samahan akong mamili ng damit, accessories at kung ano ano pa para sa date namin ni Iñigo mamaya
date? i thought as a warm feeling rush into my cheeks. i was yet-again blushing for nth time
"Bakit kasi kanina mo lang sinabing may date ka pala kay super hot mong Iñigo? 'Di sana kaninang umaga na tayo nag shopping!" ang sabi niya habang nagse-seatbelt siya
"Well, how am i supposed to tell you that, Meg? tsaka malay ko bang may lakad ka today no!" i said as i got inside her Yellow Honda Accord
hindi naman sa hindi ako marunong manamit, pero alam mo ba ang feeling na when you get really nervous .. you dont even know where to start para macompromise mo lahat ng bagay?
it was my first time to be pressured dahil lang sa isang date! i've been through a lot of dates before..
few that i may count with my fingers but i've never felt so nervous that i dont even know what to wear on the said date.. just like this!
UGGHH! i groaned as i smash my palm on my forehead
bumaba na kami ni Meg sa kotse niya when she finally parked it sa underground parking lot ng mall na ito
so yun nga, we practically roamed everywhere pero wala akong magustuhan. kasi si Meg grabe kung makapag pili!
yung tipong ang ikli ikli o di kaya'y masyadong expose ang likod na halos abot pwet.. tapos expose masyado ang harap! ano ba naman yun with matching slits pa!
palipat lipat kami ng boutique. we'll go from one boutique to another.. pipili si Meg ng sandamakmak na dresses and i will have to try it all out sa dressing room
nakakapagod! hassle talaga .. i was starting to give up nang bigla..
madaanan namin ang isang boutique that caught my attention....
It was Pepsi Herrera's boutique and a mannequin caught my whole attention sa damit na suot nito. it was beyond gorgeous!
it literally hugged the figure of the said mannequin, it was sexy yet somehow innocent. every detail of it is exceptional..
pumasok na kami sa boutique na yun. Meg and I were in separate ways.. hinahanap ko kasi yung damit na yun.. at nung nahanap ko na.....
isang kamay din ang dumapo sa kabilang side ng hanger. i looked up to see...
truly, expect the unexpected i thought as i glared at the same irritable figure and the most annoying aura a girl could even feel
"Roselyn" i dryly said still not looking away as she glare daggers me.
mahilig talagang makipag contest sa tititigan tong malanding to i thought as i raised my right brow at her as if waiting for her and daring her to do the next move
"Well, Nina" she replied still not getting rid of her left hand on the hanger
i glared at her hand at hinila ko papalapit sa akin ang dress na yun pero ang tindi kung kumapit tong babaeng to parang naka mighty bond ang kamay niya
"I've got this first" She uttered as she pulled it closer to her. muntik ko nang mabitawan ang hanger na yun..
i was about to pull it again..
how dare she -- i was interrupted with my thought when i saw ....
when i saw Gerard coming to our way. He didn't seem to notice me first
"Rose, have you pick---" ang sabi niya habang papalapit siya kay Roselyn pero, bigla siyang natigilan when his eyes darted my direction, finally acknowledging my presence
"Nina" he said .
hindi ko alam pero, panandaliang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. bigla akong kinabahan. sino ba namang hindi? of all places? dito pa kami magkikita ng dakila kong ex!
at kasama pa ang dakilang kabit! i thought as i rollled my eyes
wala naman masyadong bago kay Gerard aside from his newly fresh clean cut hair and sa katawan niyang medyo nangangayayat.
mukhang stress ang dakilang gago
at napa glare naman sa direksyon ni Gerard si Roselyn while her brows were pulled together as if waiting for something to happen.. waiting for the next move Gerard would pull
Gerard on the other hand was speechless. He couldn't utter another word aside from my name he murmured a moment ago
I tore away my gaze from Gerard and darted my eyes to the ever haliparot sa harap ko.. sabay biglang bitaw ko sa Hanger
mukhang nagulat si Roselyn dahil napaatras siya bigla na halos ma-out of balance siya. kung sa tug of war pa .. tumba na siya sa biglang pagbitaw
at nung she regained her composure...
"Well, i couldn't say more to the progress.. perfect match nga talaga kayo" i said as i crossed both my arms on top of my chest
mukhang confused ang dalawa sa sinabi ko. Roselyn was even raising her right brow at me
i chuckled a little before uttering another word
"Ano pa ba ang mas pe-perfect sa katulad niyo?"
"ISANG BASURA" i gestured at Gerard who was staring at me
"At ISANG BASURAHAN... " ang sabi ko kay Roselyn na halatang gulat and nainis sa sinabi ko
"Perfect pa sa perfect!" i said as i slightly clap my hands in a timid way
sakto namang dumating si Meg
"Nina, may nakita akong maga-- Gerard?! Roselyn?!" ang sabi ng gulat na gulat na Meg
"Let's go Meg. hindi dapat natin i-disturb ang couple of the century" ang bitter na sabi ko habang i turned my back to the two i spat words with and hinala si Meg na totally confused
and two were left there... dumbfounded
Nina- 1 Roselyn = 0
sayang, maganda pa nman yung dress i thought as i smiled to myself like a stupid girl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"OOOHH MAAAIII GAHHHD!! NINA!! ikaw na talaga!!" ang sabi ni Meg habang pigil na pigil sa katatawa. ikinuwento ko kasi sa kaniya ang nangyari kanina
we are apparently at Francis Libiran's Boutique looking for something good to wear.
"I can't believe you could be as feisty as that! I've never seen that side of you .. ever!" she said while waving her hands in action to show how exagerated she was with every word
nakaupo kami ngayon sa magarang sofa ng Visitors lounge sa Boutique ni Francis Libiran naghihintay kasi kami ng damit that Meg asked from the Francis.
take note, ngayon ko lang rin alam na She was close with someone like Francis Libiran.. a well-known designer in showbiz world. who would have thought?
"Here you go girl" ang bungad ng isang binabae ,wearing a matching torquise scarf around his neck, when he got out from a certain room to where we were
dala dala niya ang isang kulay peachy na may ruffles ruffles pa sa bandang side. it was backless na surely hugs the figure from the hips down to the thigh.
"It's ... " ang sabi ko. trying to find the right adjective to describe how pretty it was.. napatayo kaming pareho ni Meg
"Scandalous! bonnga ka talaga mare!" sabay beso at hug niya kay Francis Libiran
"i told you, dba? bagay na bagay lalo na pag makita na ng Fafa mo!" ang tiling kinikilig na sabe ni Francis
"No no no no.. hindi ako ang gagamit.. Siya ang gagamit" sabay hila niya sa akin para ma face to face ko ang designer na ito
ningitian niya lang ako and winked at me
"Beauty pa sa beauty ang dating mo dito,girl!" ang sabi niya
"Naku, Mare.. mamaya na ang chika, may date pa to no!" sabay kuha niya sa ngayon sa damit na ngayon ay nasa bag na
"o siya.. babuuu!" sabay beso beso niya sa aming dalawa ni Meg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Voila!!" ang sabi ni Meg nang matapos niya akong lagyan ng blush on sa cheeks at nung imulat ko na ang aking mga mata ...
it was already 7:30 in the evening nang matapos akong apply-an ng make up ni Meg
"Oh myy...." ang sabi ko habang manghang manghang tinitingnan ang sarili sa salamin. hindi ko akalaing gumanda ako ng sobra sobra sa simpleng ayos lang ni Meg sa akin
i've scanned every little detail that she'd put on my face. my now smokey eyes with matching deadly red lips.. hindi masyadong makapal pero lutang na lutang pa rin
ilang saglit pa, narinig naming dalawa na may kumatok ng marahan sa Pinto
"I thinks siya na yun" ang sabi ni Meg at dali daling lumabas sa kwarto ko
bigla namang bumilis ng bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.. i could almost hear it na nga eh. hindi ko alam pero talagang iba... ganito ba talaga pag.... in love ka na sa isang tao?
kay Gerard kasi before, hindi naman ganito eh. iba talaga at ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng ganito. at kung ano man to, ayw ko muna tong maglaho
at nung lumabas na nga ako mula sa silid ko, sinalubong ako ng nakagayak sa hotness na si Iñigo.. his hair was not the usual messy covering his forehead.
it was spiked up at mas lalo siya naging mukhang hot dahil sa itim niyang Ivar Aceron suit
at kung nakakatunaw ang tingin, malamang lusaw na lusaw na tong lalakeng to sa akin i thought
"You look beautiful as ever!" He said as he gave me a peck on my cheeks and gave me another pink carnation bouquet
"You dont look as bad." i winked
"O sige na mga lovebirds, aken na muna yung mga bulalak" ang sabi ni Meg from behind and i handled her the flowers for her to put in a vase
Iñigo held my hand and quickly squeeze it then snaked his right arm on my hips. i just smiled at him and he did the same. He was about to close the door when Meg shouted from inside....
"Iñigo, ingatan mo yang kaibgan ko!"
"Like a rare gem, i will.. and will always be" he replied back as he completely closed the door
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Table for two" and sabi niya while his right arm was on my hips still showing everyone that he's my man
"Mr. Bustamante, Good evening!" ang pagbati sa amin ng babaeng receptionist. todo ngiti talaga siya at pa-cute kay Iñigo while he in return grinned as well flashing that woman his smile that could melt every ladies' hearts
harap harapan ganon? i thought as i glared at both of them
"Ahem!" ang sabi mula sa likuran namin
and when i turned around i saw a little boy... he was about 11 years of age who was grinning widely at us
"Kuya, Is she your girlfriend?" ang sabi niya
nagkatitigan muna kami sa isa't isa ni Iñigo.. He genuinely smiled at me before he approached that kid
ginulo niya muna ang buhok ng batang lalake and chuckled
"You know, Darren.. masyado kang maraming alam" he said while the kid was kinda irritated dhil ginulo niya ang buhok nito
tumakbo bigla sa direksyon ko yung bata and hugged me
"If she's not your girlfriend, she'll be MY girlfriend then" ang sabi niya habang nakapout
I looked down and gradually,lumuhod ako para magkalevel na kami. and when i leaned closer to him.. i saw the same beautiful brown eyes Iñigo has.. the same pointy nose ... and the same long lashes
no doubt, this could would break a lot of women's heart i thought as i kiss his forehead
mas lalo siya naging cute when namula siya ng todo todo. napasmile naman ako and stood up
bigla naman niya akong tiningnan sa mga mata and mas lalo siyang namula.. tumakbo na lang siyang bigla.. but before he completely vanished
he turned around and said
"Mommy is waiting for you guys.."
waiting for us? what? my brows were automatically pulled together and i turned my attention to Iñigo who was smirking once again
"I thought .... tayo lang?" i said
"Well, Mom wanted to meet you" ang sabi niya as he once again wrapped his right arms on my hips and planted a soft peck on my cheeks
while his left hand held mine.... biglang may spark akong naramdaman sa sensation na yun and i've looked straight into Iñigo's eyes
"Shall we?" he gestured me with a smile
ooooooohhh nooooooo.... i thought nervously
