After what they heard, Mika's reaction was epic. Our parents reaction? I cant describe.
Mika's eyes grew big nung narinig niya yun, parang di siya makapaniwala na may nangyari talaga sa amin. Pero hindi lang yun bastang activity para sa akin. Yun ang pinakamasayang ginawa ko sa buhay ko. Im no innocent pero grabe, priceless kase pag sa taong mahal mo yun ginawa.
Mika was about to say something pero
"Good. At least we know that your not lesbian.", Tito Manolo said.
Kung lumaki yung mata ni Mika kanina sa sinabi ko, parang luluwa na ata yung mata niya ngayon.
"I am not a ledbian, Papa. For God's sake."
I looked at Tito Manolo and Tita Bhaby, they were both smiling. What's with these two? Weird.
"Magkakaapo na tayo, Pa!", that was my Mom. What's with them? Seriously??
These werent the reactions that I anticipated. The total opposite of these!
"You arent angry?", Mika and I said in very unbelievable tone.
"Why are we? Nasa tamang edad na kayo. At gusto na naming magkaanak kayo. Di ba balae?", said Tita Bhaby to my parents.
They were so unbelievable!
"Ma, ano ba yan? Kakahiya kayo.", Mika.
"What?? arent you excited to have a baby, Mika??", her dad said.
"Gusto ko pero...."
"Gusto ko na din, Miks. We love each other, okay naman siguro yun.", i cut her off.
She looked at me in disbelief. "What???", but then she paused for a while. "Well, sabagay.", then she smiled.
All along, gusto na rin naman yata ni Mika.
Naexcite ako bigla. The thought of me swearing and promising my love and faithfulness to Mika infront of God caused my heart to skip a beat. I cant wait for that moment.
Kung tadhana talaga ang kikilos, wala ka na talagang magagawa.
Can you imagine? Ang dami ng nangyari sa amin these past few years. I went to PBA, Mika decided to pursue her career. Naglipat na ng lugar pero eto pa rin, nagkita pa rin kami. That called thing tadhana nga naman talaga. And I really now believe that Cupid isnt dead.
"Kailan natin iseset ang pamamanhikan, Ma?", my dad had to ask.
"One to two months from now, balae.", gat was tito Manolo.
"Oo nga para makapag prepare din kami.", abi ni mama. Yung totoo, kayo ang ikakasal o kami?
Madami pa silang napag-usapan about sa kasal. Kung san daw namin gusto ikasal. Kung anong klaseng kasal daw ba ang preferred namin. Anong kulay ang motif namin.
Natatawa na lang kami ni Mika. Masaya kami kase kahit alam naming hindi magandang tingnan ang set-up namin ngayon, ganto pa din ang parents namin. Supportive as ever. We might expected from them, at least hindi sa reaksyon na inaasahan namin.
Well, tama naman si tito manolo kase, we were already in the right age. We already know whats good or wrong, whats bad and good. What makes us happy and not.
Short span of time ang sitwasyon namin ni Mika. Pero hindi naman kase yun sa haba ng pagkakakakilala niyo sa isat isa. Nasa pagdadala ng relasyon yan att kung pano niyo yun aalagaan.
For the first time in my life, I felt decided. Decided sa isang bagay na isa na yata sa pinakamahirap pasukin, pag-aasawa. But I thought with Mika around, life's going to be easy. Ill hope so. We will believe so.
Past 8pm na ng nagpasyang umalis sila Mama. Dito sila nghapunan kase nagluto si Tita bhaby ng sinigang na sugpo.
They stayed at the hotel near Mika's place. Hindi daw sila sa unit matutulog kase ayaw nilang makaistorbo sa amin. Aba. Dapat lang noh.
Umiinom ng water si Mika sa kitchen and I hugged her. "I love you, Mikz. Salamat at pumayag kang magpasakal I mean, magpakasal sa akin."
"Its my pleasure, Mr. Ravena."
Everytime Yeye smiles, di ko alam pero nawawala ako sa sarili. Ang hirap lalo pag nag-iisip ako tas bigla siyang ngumiti, nawawala yung mga napag-isipan ko na.
"What date is today?", I asked her.
"March 15 (3.15), why?"
"April 15 pala first monthsarry natin.", I felt like a teenager na first time magkagirlfriend. Hay. Nakakahigh.
"Corny mo ha.", and she hugged me.
I took out my phone and we took a pic. I uploaded it to IG with the caption: Officially together. #MiEferForever #TeamReality
"Kief, may nangyari ba talaga satin kagabi Wala kase talaga akong maalala?", I nodded. Meron naman talaga kase. I wont deny it. "Baka kase gusto mo akong iremind.", nd she smiled.
I got the message so I immediately kissed her on the lips. Hard.
