Hospital...
"Kyaaaahhh!!! Aimee!!! Aimee!" nagsisigaw na tawag ni Lara sa kaibigan
"O bakit?!! Did something happen? Do I need to call a code? Lara!" inaalog alog na kinakausap ni Aimee ang kaibigan dahil hindi parin matigil ang pagkakilig nito
"Code Blue agad? sira! But Aimee! Oh MY!!! Ikakasal na ako! Shemay!" habang hinahampas hampas si Aimee sa braso.
"Aray ko na naman friend! Batukan kita diyan e! Pero di nga? Nagpropose na si Jake? Weh? Asan ung singsing mo patingin?! Dali!"
"Singsing?" na parang naguguluhan si Lara kung ano ang hinahanap ng kaibigan sa kanya
"Oo. Singsing. Ring. Diamond. Yung sinusuot dito oh!" habang tinuturo ni Aimee kay Lara ang kanyang ring finger
"E...Hehe. Wala"
"Anong wala? Pwede ba naman un? e diba nagpropose na nga? Ang yaman yaman ng syota mo wala man lang singsing? I don't believe it" nagcross arms si Aimee at tinitigan ang kaibigan
"E sa wala e. may nakikita ka ba ha? wala nga promise." sabi ni Lara habang nakataas pa ang kanya right hand.
"But that doesn't matter right? I mean finally we're getting married. He said we're getting married in 3 months. Kyaaaahhhhh!!!!! " pagpapatuloy na paliwanag nito
"In 3 months? What?! agad agad?" Gulat na gulat na tanong ni Aimee
"Hehehe...E un sabi nya kagabi e. He said I'll be his wife in 3 months kaya you have to help me plan it. Dba you have a cousin that works for Marriott Hotels? Tanungin mo naman sya if ever may available hall for a wedding in 3 months. I actually wanted it sa Pinas kaya lang wala na akong time. Kaya dito nalang."
"Kasi naman bakit biglaan. Hay. But anyway, mabuti narin kung dito para atleast di ko na kelangan magfile ng vacation leave."
"O dba it worked out well for both of us! I will finally get my dream wedding at hindi ka na mamomoblema sa schedule mo. Hehe. Basta Aimee don't forget to ask your cousin ok? I'll let you know the rest of the details sa mga dadaang araw." nakangiting sagot ni Lara
"Okay okay. Yah, I'll call her on my break later. Di naman maaga matulog un e. And I'll let you know her answer ASAP." - Aimee
"Thanks friend. I owe you one. O cya, magtrabaho na tayo. Baka mamaya manganak na pasyente ko. Hehe. See you later." at pumunta na nga si Lara sa kanyang patient's room
"Thank God. It's finally happening for her" Mahinang bulong ni Aimee sa sarili habang pinagmamasdan si Lara na nagmamadaling maglakad papunta sa kanyang pasyente. She knows how much Lara wanted this. She loves Jake so much kaya nga nagpalipat ng wala sa oras itong si Lara dito sa Washington just to be with him. She left everything back in New Jersey for him. She knew how Lara adjusted to her new life here but never nya nakitang magreklamo ang kaibigan. She gave up so much just for him. And now Jake finally popped the question. And Aimee is definitely very happy for her dear friend.
5 Weeks later...
"Hello. Babe? Where are you? Are you on your way? Naghihintay na kasi satin tong wedding planner." tanong ni Lara kay Jake over the phone
"Wedding planner? Oh right. Sorry babe I completely forgot. I have a very important meeting in 10 minutes. I can't come. Can you just do it yourself? Kelangan mo pa ba ako dyan?" - Jake
"Of course Babe. We have to do food tasting, choose the motif and some other details for the wedding. We don't have any other time kasi magagahol na tayo sa oras. Can you just skip the meeting or maybe reschedule it for later? Baka mga 1-2hours lang naman to e. Please." pagmamakaawa ni Lara sa nobyo
