Thirdy and Dani's speech was funny and revealing. Even if we are already married couple, I realized that I still have so many things to know about Kiefer. But no worries, habambuhay naman kaming magkasama, I have my entire life to know him more. To know him better.
After ng kina Dani, si Ara ang next in line. I was hoping na hindi revealation ang ipagsasabi nito kundi mamamatay ako sa hiya. HAHahaha.
"Before I start, I am just gonna set your expectations that this will also be a revealation speech like Thirdy and Dani's."
Naku patay. Bigla akong kinabaha dun ah. Baka ano-anong ireveal nito. Crtical ang buhay ko nito.
"Yeye and I has been friend since first year college, when we first entered lasalle.", wow, umienglish. Continue Daks. Continue. "We were best of friends together with Kimmy, Cienney and Carol. We were called 'Bullies'. Alam namin lahat ng secrets ng isat-isa. From the tiniest information to the biggest. Kung sino ang kinaiinisan hanggang sino ang pinakanagugustuhan."
"There had this one time na kailangan kong magpanggap na girlfriend ni Mika just to turn down her manliligaw. Ganda mo te?!", ahahaha. Wala eh. Mika Reyes yan eh. "And to think ha, it was 'The Daniel Padilla'", I was laughing hard, I can still remember his reavtion during that epic time. so funny. "Pero inspite of all that weve been through, andito pa din kami. Buo, bullies at masaya."
"I can still clearly remember how she shouted when she first saw Kiefer slamming the ball. Amaze na amaze siya kase di katangkaran pero nakakadunk. At pogi daw. Well, we agreed on her observation, pero wala eh, hindi ako nakapana ng eagle, co-archer ko din natamaan ko eh, straight to the heart.", everybody 'Ayiie'--ed. I saw Thomas blushing. Hahaha. I didnt want to look at Kiefer kase nahihiya ako. Di ko maamin sa sarili ko na dati ko pa siyang crush. "From then on, naging stalker na siya ni Kiefer. Silent follower sa lahat ng social media account nitong agilang to."
"During the taping of GGV, the whole team was there. Even us was suprised when she said it was Joseph that she chose. According to her kase, baka daw mamisinterpret ni Kiefer pag siya ang pinili niya. She had a big crush on him during our college days. Ang totoo pa nga niyan, di siya nagboyfriend nun, hoping that Kiefer will notice her."
"Totoo ba yun, Nay?", my husband asked. I nodded. I realized that i shouldnt be shy. We were already married, so ano pang point?
"Pero natapos na lang siya ng college, nag PBA na si Kiefer pero wala pa ding ligawang nangyari. So she gave up, she seeked happiness from someone who wasted her. Wasted her time. Wasted her heart. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, the rest of the bullies came up with a plan not letting Mika know."
Ha? Anong plan? Naglilihim na pala sila sa akin.
"We thought, that it would be our time to make moves as her friend. Siya na lang single kaya tinry namin siyang ireto sa mga friends namim dito sa Davao. Pero wala kaming makita na magmamatch kay Mika. Height palang, bagsak na.", everyone laughed on what Ara said. "And then one day, Fonzo told us that Kiefer was coming to Davao to forsee his new acquired property which we are right now."
I was puzzled. Anong kinalaman ko sa pagdating ni Kiefer?
"Since alam namin na gusto siya ni Yeye, we came up a plan na very impossible to do. Just a week plan, walang back up plans kase wala kaming maisip na pangback up. We ran out of time kaya kailangan naming hindi magkamali.", seryoso, wala akong naiintindihan. Tiningnan ko si Kiefer, parang nalilito din siya. "Supposed to be, nung dumating si Koefer dito sa Davao over 3 months ago, dapat si Fonzo ang susundo sa kanya. But he cancelled it because of our so called plan."
"All of us were already desperate. We did all para lang magwork coz we know ito lang ang makakapaghappy kay Mika.", sure na sure ka talaga Daks ah. "Yung taxi driver na nagdrive for Kief nun, it was Manong Jerry, personal driver ng Daddy ni Fonzo." Kumaway si Manong Jerry. Hala! Siya nga! "so mejo char-char lang yung pagtirik kunwari ng taxi ni Manong. Nung tumawag ako sayo nung nagdadrive ka Mikz, nasa likod mo lang kami nun. At kami din yung bumusina sayo para tumakbo na ulit sasakyan mo. "
Things became clearer now. I wanted to cry. Nagpapasalamat ako, havving this kind of friends. Kiefer held my hand. "Tay." My tear fell.
"Yung nakitang unit dapat na uupahan ni Kiefer, it was Carol's new acquired. So, it wasnt true na may magrerent dun at nagbayad na ng 6mos. If you arrived there earlier Kief, you would still hear the same because it was all part of the plan."
"So when Mika left you sa waiting shed ng Lanang, we were sick worried. Again, we didnt have a plan b. But we thought, our plan would be palpak. But then you came back, and you dont have any idea how happy and relieved we were.", i was crying really hard. After kong magtago sa kanila about what happened to me before with Paolo's harassment, I felt like I was a trator. After all, kapakanan ko pa din ang iniisip nila.
"When Mika offered her unit to Kiefer, kulang na lang magpaparty kami. Coz we knew it was the start. Start of a new life you both deserve. New life that we believe was set for the two of you.", Ara was wiping her tears, as well as the audience. "Yung pagdating parents niyo? scripted lahat yun. Hahahaha.", I looked at my parents, they were laughing. My mom even gave me a thumbs up. Kaloka!
"You see, it wasnt Tadhana who set you up, it was us!", she laughed really loud while holding ti her super lakeng stomach, they'll have a twin as well eh. Like Carol and Julian. "So dont credit Tadhan or Cupid about this successful relationship, coz its who deserve the credits. Hahahaha."
