Totally Hooked

Chapter 29: Decisions

Hours turned to days, days turned to weeks, weeks into months at hindi namin lahat napansin na two weeks na lang ay matatapos na ang bakasyon. Me and Vin spent almost all our time together at sobrang naging productive nang bakasyon naming barkada. We even went out of town to have a  relaxing vacation, after everything we've been through for the past months, we deserve it. We stayed at this beach resort in Palawan for a week kung saan naging official na din sa wakas si Miggy at Denise.

Miggy prepared this candle lit dinner for two sa beach, with our help of course. We prepared a table surrounded with candles in the sand, some fairy lights over head for added lighting. Me and Vin even prepared a three-course meal for them. Naging bonding namin ang paghahanap nang mga recipes for two days bago kami bumiyahe papuntang resort.

Miggy and Shin were tasked with everything that has to do with the venue at ginawa nila ito according sa mga sketches ni Angel and they did not disappoint. Everything looked straight out of Angel's sketches. Pinagsama-sama mo ba naman ang Engineer, Architect at Interior Designer.

Angel on the other hand was responsible to keep Denise away from us for the whole afternoon. Inaya niya itong magshopping sa mga local boutiques and Denise doesn't say no to new clothes. Sobrang naging successful nang event although alam naman naming lahat na mapapaoo si Denise kahit hindi ganung kagarbo ang ginawa ni Miggy. Knowing Miggy, he always wants the best for his love, kaya gusto niya malapelikula ang mararanasan ni Denise.

At ngayon, andito kami sa condo ni Denise, to start the renovations na naput-off dahil sa mga nangyari with Vodka. We're all standing in the middle of the living room at alam kong pare-pareho kami nang iniisip. Maybe, we bit off more than we can chew. Lalong matinding linisan to dahil sobrang natuyo na ang lahat nang pulang pintura at ang dami din alikabok sa buong bahay dahil hindi ito nagamit.

"Kaya ba natin nang tayo lang?" tanong ni Angel nang palingon lingon samin.

"Kaya yan." Sagot naman sa kanya nang nobyo niya sabay kindat.

"Alam mo hindi nakakatulong ang pakindat kindat mo!" sabi ni Denise sabay batok kay Shin.

"Kulang tayo sa gamit." Sabi naman ni Miggy habang sinusuri ang laman nang cabinet ni Denise.

"Vacuum at mga panglaba lang ang andito." Dagdag pa nito. Nagtinginan kaming lahat kay Denise, amazed kung pano siya naglilinis nang pavacuum vacuum lang.

"Eh yan lang naman ang kaylangan ko lagi eh." Sabi nito samin in defense of her lack of cleaning supplies.

"Lika na bumili na tayo nang mga gamit para naman matapos tayo agad." Aya naman ni Vin samin.

"Sama ako." Sabi ko sakanya.

"Ano bang mga kailangan?" tanong ko uli sa kanila at nagsimula namang maglista nang mga bibilhin ang kasama ko at syempre kasama sa mga bilin nila ay ang  mga gusto nilang kainin.

Vin and I head out of the door right after hearing everything that they wanted and drove to the nearest supermarket. We took our time going around the market because we both know na pagbalik namin sa condo ni Denise, wala na kaming alone time. As I was scanning the shelves para sa mga kailangan namin, I felt Vin's hand reached for mine and intertwined them together.

"Alam mo love." He started saying. I turned around to look at him with a puzzled look in my eyes. He then leaned closer to me and placed his lips close to my ear.

"Para tayong bagong kasal. Gusto mo deretso honeymoon na?" bulong niya sakin. And I felt some warmth rise to my whole face.

"Tarantado!" I said to him as I pushed him away. I then realized na nasabi ko yun nang medyo malakas. Enough to catch the attention of the other people in the aisle causing them to stare at us, their eyes asking what happened to us.
