THE MAN IN GREEN UNIFORM (Montenegro Series #3)

Chapter 26

Celestine's POV.

He was saying something pero hindi ko marinig.

Nagulat pa ako ng ilagay niya sa tenga niya ang cellphone niya at nag ring ang cellphone ko.

Weird ko siyang tiningnan dahil siya ang nasa caller ID nito, he just nodded at me, telling me to answer it.

"Why are you here Nicholas? Gabi na."

Pero imbis na sagutin ako, he did one of the warmest and sweetest thing a man can do.

"And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer

Watching over me, he's singing

"She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy."

He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a hook."

He is serenading me through a phone call. I've never heard of this song pero pakiramdam ko ay ang ganda ganda nito.

"Just by looking at you from here, alam kong nagustuhan mo."

I smiled at him.

"How can I not? Ang ganda ng boses mo."

"At ikaw ang pinakamagandang babaeng nakita ko," he said that, habang naka diretso ng tingin sa 'kin. "Celestine Montenegro, you outshined the beauty of the moon and the stars, or anything na maitatabi sa 'yo, you're my walking angel, and I can't believe I am marrying you tomorrow."

Bumigat ang pakiramdam ko. I am being so selfish. Iniintindi ko lang ay ang nararamdaman ko, without thinking about him.

Nicholas loves me and will definitely give the world to me.

"Kaya umuwi ka na, dahil maaga pa tayo bukas."

"I refused to." He chuckled. "I am taking my bride to be on a date."

"Nicholas, bawal, diba, like pamahiin."

"Kailan ka pa naging paniwalain ng ganyan?"

He knows me so well.

"We'll just have to go somewhere, wear something nice."

"Hindi ba ako nice manamit."

"Just surprise me, I'll wait for you at the lobby."

Naghilamos na lamang muli ako bago ko inayos ang buhok ko. Nag messy bun na lang ako and decided to wear my white off shoulder dress na lampas tuhod.

Saan naman kaya ako dadalhin ng lalaking to, anong oras na.

Nung makababa ako ay prente itong nakaupo sa lounge, some women are looking at him dahil gwapo talaga si Nicholas.

Nung makita niya ako ay mabilis itong tumayo at lumapit sa 'kin.

"Aba, ang soon to be misis ko, nagpapa-impress," he said kaya natawa ako.

"Geez, normal outfit ko to."

"You just look so beautiful."

"Thank you."

"Shall we?" He offered his hand, na inabot ko naman. We walked outside hanggang sa kotse niya.

Kumain kami sa paborito kong steakhouse. Nag usap lang kami how his day went and I can't stop laughing when he told me about how his household is going crazy dahil sa kasal na mangyayari bukas.

Pagkatapos namin kumain ay akala ko babalik na kami sa hotel.

"Saan tayo pupunta?"

"Surprise."
