Gulat na gulat siyang nakatingin dito. Bigla-bigla ay nakatayo na lang ito sa likuran nila…
Mikay: Julia?! What are you doing here?!
It’s not like she’s not happy seeing her. Nakakagulat lang talaga dahil napaka-unexpected naman na makikita pa niya ito sa set ng taping that’s being shoot out of town.
Julia: Baket? Hindi ka ba masaya na makita ang bestfriend mo?
Kunyari ay nagtatampo ito…
Mikay: It’s not like that… Nakakagulat lang talaga… I was so shocked when papa came… and then now, you’re here! What is going on?!
May pilyang ngiti ito sa mga labi…
Papa: Well, girls, I think I need to give you some time to talk first… I‘ll just go outside…
Parang may gustong takasan ang ama sa pag-uusap nila…
Mikay: Julia, what is going on here?!
Julia: Guess what?!
Mikay: No, I don’t want to guess! What is really going on?!
Julia: Sabi mo, hindi mo na alam kung paano mo pasasalamatan si Gino, right?! Well, sa paraang ito, maipapakita mo na how thankful you really are…… ‘Coz you’re getting married!
Mikay: What’s so new about that?! Of course, I’m getting married! Hindi niyo pa ba alam ‘yon?! Pinadalhan ko kayo ng invitation ng fiancee mo ‘di ba… We even talked about this over the phone…
Humawak ito sa kamay niya…
Julia: No, Mikay! You’re getting married… Now!!!
There’s a slight pause…
Mikay: OMG! I cannot believe that you will ever pull this prank on me, Julia… Tingin mo ba mapapaniwala mo ako jan sa mga kalokohan mo?!
Julia: Alam mo, masasabunutan na talaga kita! Tingin mo ba pupunta ako dito all the way from San Francisco para lang biruin ka na ikakasal ka na ngayon?!
Mikay: I know you have better reasons kaya ka napasadya dito… Besides, palpak talaga ‘yang joke mo dahil nasa Bohol si Gino fixing the preparations of our wedding there, okay? Yes, dun po kami ikakasal!
Julia: Haven’t you ever wonder na makakaya ba talaga ni Gino nai-turn off ang phone niya para lang hindi mo siya matawagan? Tingin mo ba magagawa talaga niya ‘yon sa ‘yo? You just didn’t know kung ilang beses naming itinago ‘yung phone niya dahil hindi na niya matiis na hindi ka tawagan…
Suddenly, she can’t talk… Higit na siyang napatulala dito. Walang nakakaalam ng kahit na sino na may tampuhan sila ni Gino… And that got her… Why would her father travel all the way here when they could just see each other in Manila?... Everything is all planned… Mukhang pinaghandaan talaga ang lahat… Maging ang network niya… Even the staff and crew know about this… Everyone knows of what’s about to happen…
She feels her throat getting dry… Pinilit niyang lumunok… She’s just too shocked…
Mikay: A-Are you serious?
Julia: You know me, Mikay… Do I really look like I’m joking?
Bahagya siyang napailing… Then, there’s this certain panic that she feels…
Mikay: If I’m getting married now, pano ‘yung mga preparations sa Bohol?! ‘Yung mga invitations?! ‘Yung mga gowns?! At ‘yung mga design sa simbahan?!
