CAPTURED

XLVII

" Hold up ... are you serious? "

Animo binuhusan ng malamig na tubig si Kaius sa tanong na 'yon. He squinted his eyes as he look thoroughly. Halatang hindi makapaniwala sa aya ko.

" C'mon let's go " hila ko sakan'ya palabas. I honestly don't know what gotten into my mind. Bahala na.

Let me be impulsive tonight. Alam kong hindi pwede dahil may masamang mangyayari pero hindi naman nila kailangang malaman.

I plan on taking Kaius to a simple church somewhere in Lucena where I remembered my cousin is volunteering as a priest's apprentice.

Ngunit malayo sa nais n'yang engrandeng kasal para sa akin. I'll just contact my cousin if we can request to the priest he is with to give us a little wedding ceremony then we'll just exchange vows and promise our love for each other.

Ganoon lang. Simple at walang nakaaalam ngunit alam kong tunay at panghabang buhay kong panghahawakan.

Kaius grabbed a coat for me and for himself as we walked our way down to the elevator.

" What are you planning Mia Belle? " he asked as he squeezed my hand he's holding.

Ngumiti lamang ako sa repleksyon namin sa pinto ng elevator at humilig sa dibdib n'ya.

" Kasal " I murmured lovingly.

Umiling s'ya na para bang hindi makapaniwala ngunit may multo ng ngiti sa mga labi na para bang ipinapahiwatig na sasakyan n'ya kung ano mang trip ko.

Pagkabukas na pagkabukas ng elevator ay agad n'yang pinatunog ang kan'yang sasakyan kahit pa wala s'yang ideya kung saan ko nais pumunta.

He also took his phone out and dialed something. I heard it ring twice before he speak.

" My wife wants to get married tonight. Prepare everything that needs to be done ------- I don't care if things aren't ready yet ... I need them tonight "

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at hindi sinasadyang inagaw sakanya ang phone mula sa kan'yang tainga.

" Kaius are you serious. Magmamadaling araw na. People are already resting. Hindi nila maihahanda lahat ng plano natin sa kasal sa loob lamang ng isang oras o kahit pa dalawa"

Halos hinihingal kong tuon sakanya. Is he freaking crazy? Ang dami pa kayang kulang doon sa inihahanda namin. Tss.

" But you said you wanna get married tonight? " he asked muffled as if I'm the biggest and most complicated puzzle of all time.

" Yes! But in my own way " I smiled michievously.

I saw his face that he's about to argue but I immediately shook his head and pull his hand towards his car.

" No buts. Tara na!! "

Malapit na kami sa sasakyan nang agad kaming napahinto dahil sa isang napakatinis na sigaw.

" BRIELLEEE!!!! "

Nilingon ko ito at nakitang si Kean kasama ang dalawang babae na animo ay galing isang marathon dahil humahangos palabas ng elevator.

" What happened? Anong meron at madaling madali kayo? " tanong ko agad.

Kasama n'ya ay si Adanna at Melissa na mga half Filo model na medyo close ko dahil sa mga international gigs na madalas ay kasama ko sila.

Nakipagbeso muna ako saglit bago muli silang tiningna mula ulo hanggang paa.

" Bruha ka! Pumunta kami sa unit mo at nadatnan naming wala ka ro'n. Hindi mo rin sinasagot ang mga tawag ko kaya nag alala kami sobra. Muntik na kaming magsumbong kay Papa Kaius at ireport na missing ang kanyang bride to be eh yun naman pala ay mukhang may maagang pa honeymoon session "
