THE NERD IS A SECRET GANGSTER PRINCESS?!

Chapter 41 - Bizarre Wedding Plans

Khiara's POV

Hindi ko inexpect na ganun kalala ang pinagdaanan ni Red. Sumakay ako sa motor ko para pumunta sa bahay, pinasakay ko si Red kayna Drake at nagdrive sila pauwi samin, si Elle nangako sakin na he'll keep in touch in case kailangan ko ng tulong. Humingi din siya ng tawad sakin dahil nag jump agad siya sa conclusions kay Red.

Malaking tama siguro yun sa mental stability ni Red na napilitan siya sabihin biggest childhood trauma niya sa harap pa ng ibang tao na yung iba hindi siya pamilyar. 

Hindi ko masasabi na naiintindihan ko siya, dahil hindi tulad niya I'm blessed enough to have a childhood that is happy and ineenjoy ko, nakakapuslit pa ako para makapag gangs.

Pero I know he's not faking the tears, I'm sure he regretted doing it. After that incident he's still the same Red. 

Kinabukasan pagkagising ni Red inaabangan ko siya sa baba naghanda na ako ng agahan, dumating din sina mama para pag-usapan angwedding plans. Yesterday was too heavy, ayoko irelive ni Red yung sakit na naramdaman niya nung bata siya kaya I'll resume like yesterday didn't happen, we'll have another day para pag usapan to. Isang bagay lang naman ang sigurado ko, I still love him.

I still love him.

"Khiara sweetie, you need decide on the details of the wedding" giit ni mama

"Yes , ma, wait lang natin makakain si Red or we could discuss as he eat?" tanong ko kay Red

"Sounds good" ngumiti siya, although I can see he still looks drained

Naglatag sina mama ng portfolios with various pictures inside.

"Okay motif? " tanong ni mama while flipping through gorgeous white weddings

"I dunno ma, these look great I just don't vibe" tumingin ako kay Red

Red?

White?

Wedding?

"How about a red accent para sa wedding?" I asked, a red tinting my face as well nung hinarap ko si Red

"Sounds good to me, very edgy" natatawang sabi ni Red habang nakain

Nagtinginan ang parents ko, clearly not happy with the accent we chose.

"Oh, then of course red roses ang flowers" singit ni Red in between bites

Red roses, dahil ba yun sa codename kong Death Rose. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay in a silent question at nagkibit balikat lang siya sakin. Yep, para sakin nga. Lalo ko naramdaman na nag iinit mukha ko.

  Nagflip through ako sa pages to take note ng mga gusto kong set-up and designs na pwedeng haluan ng red. It's already bizarre as it is.

"Hey, how about we mix some black in there somewhere?" tanong ko

Nasamid si mom at dad, tiningnan ako ni Red bago siya tumawa. His laugh is so real and loud, phew, maybe he's kinda okay na mula sa nangyari kahapon. Ngumiti ako sa kanya.

"Khiara gusto mo ba magmukhang lamay kasal mo?" gigil na tanong ni mama

"Ma naman! Of course not! I'm gonna ask Zhane for help sa designs para magmukhang sophisticated at polished yung designs" pag assure ko kay mama "I mean if you're okay with this?" tanong ko kay Red

Umiling iling lang siya habang natatawa pa din.

"You never fail to surprise me sa mga ginagawa mo" he said while laughing "Whatever my baby wants, let's give everyone the best wedding they'll ever go to" I smiled at that

Momentarily forgetting about problems gusto ko sulitin itong moment na nafifeel ko na normal na babae lang ako. Mom and dad looks mortified, pero syempre kasal namin to, we'll fund this, kaya whatever we want we'll get, nagvolunteer lang si mama na tumulong sa preparations.

We decided na sa Garden Resort ganapin yung kasal, doon kami una nagmeet ni Red. Nadapa pa ako noon tapos siya yung prince charming na tumulong sakin tapos ipapakilala bigla na pinsan ko pala. I was kinda sad as  a kid noon. May isang part doon na puro semento na may pillars, the colors are neutral enough para malagyan ng kahit anong design and color combination.

"Okay reception" sabi ni mama obviously wanting to move on mula sa wild color choices namin

Huling hirit at paying homage para sa gansgter pasts namin.

"Okay paboritong part ni Khiara, pagkain! Ano isasama natin?" tanong ni Red

"Since you two have kinda different tastes how about mixing Japanese and Filipino foods?" suggestion ni Dad

I'm actually surprised dad is being very active involving this. Nung kasal daw nila kulang nalang sakalin siya ni mama para sumama lang sa consultations si daddy.

"So  starters...... mine's sushi......." sabi ni Red

"Umm cheese sticks"  favorite ko yumyum

"Tempura" okay bet ko din yan

"Itlog ng pugo" another favorite!

"Ang pampainit ng tyan akin....... Ramen, and the maiin dish is yours" Red and his undying love for ramen

"Ok........ syempre may kanin at lalagyan ng favorite na sinigang na baboy" hayy wala talaga tatalo sa sinigang

"Sure, so sa dessert..... pudding" ngiti ni Red knowing full well na yun gusto ko

"Silvanas!"

"And drinks......... red wine"

"Tubig"

"Haha Khiara pansin ko lang ang simple ng mga nilalagay mo??? Besides water is already a given"

Oh napansiin niya.

"Kasi yan ang mga kinasanayan ng mga Pilipino.... masarap ang high class food na bago sa bibig pero di mo maiiwasan hanap-hanapin ang mga kinasanayan mo"

"Ang cute mo talaga kahit kailan" tukso niya.

"Baby how about talking with Zhane to design your own gown? Tho if you want a branded one walang problema din sakin" he said while flipping through wedding gown designs

"Tingin nga niyan" sabi ko at nagbuklat buklat din

"Roses is settled right tita? Music, can I take charge with music selection hehe. Also about the best man, I was thinking how about Cy.."

"CYRUS!!!!!!" sigaw ko

"Yeah Cyrus is it ok with  you?" tanong ni Red sakin

"NO! I MEAN YES....... WAIT WHAT I MEAN IS........... HE'S CALLING!!!!!"

Well I mean, by now it's normal that nothing normal ever happens to me.

"Hello Cyrus......" napalunok ako sa tagal niya sumagot

"Khiara.............."
