"Nababaliw ka na ba? Ikaw ang manliligaw kay Trevor?!"
I rolled my eyes sa irita as I washed my hands. Sinabi ko kasi kay Maxine na may plano akong magtanong kay Trevor if he wants us to be official. Naduwag ako noong isang linggo, pero ngayon desidido na ako. I'm planning to take him out for a dinner reservation sa Tagaytay and ask him there.
"Max, we're thirty, hindi na tayo bata and I see my future with Trevor. He's the one that I wanna have a house with, build a family with, and spend the rest of my life with," pagpapaintindi ko sa kanya sa nararamdaman ko.
She leaned her back on the counter and crossed her arms, bakas sa mukha niya ang pag-aalala sa akin. "Alam mo naman na support ako lagi sa mga kagagahan mo diba?" she suddenly said, bakas ang lungkot sa boses. Tumango naman ako. "Pero natatakot ako para sayo, kasi if he wanted to make it official then he should've done that noon pa pero bakit hindi niya magawa?"
Nakaramdam ako ng kirot sa puso ko dahil sa tanong ni Max but I quickly ignored it.
"Bahala na. Kung masaktan man ako, edi iinom tayo," I sadly chuckled. "Pero magbabakasakali pa din ako," I smiled at her, feeling hopeful. Pakiramdam ko din naman kasi that he'll say yes.
She heaved a sigh and gave me a comforting smile. She then held both of my hands, "okay okay, tell me what I need to do to help you."

"Plano ko nang ligawan si Trevor," nahihiyang sabi ko kay Eugene habang naglalakad kami sa garden ng bahay nila.
It was Eugene's sister's, Eumika's, debut last night. Pumunta ako sa bahay nila kasi sabi ni tita Casey marami pa daw naiwan na alak at pagkain.
He laughed as he sat on their lounge chair. "Seryoso ka ba, ate?" he still thinks that I was joking.
I chuckled and immediately shook my head. "Gago, seryosong seryoso na ako," matapang kong sagot at umupo rin sa tabi niya.
"Ay gago, tunog seryoso nga," he exhaled and drank his bottle of beer. "Anything I can do to help?"
Napatingin ako sa kanya, examining if he's serious or not. Mukha naman siyang seryoso, "yeah, hindi ko kasi alam kung anong gusto ng isang lalaki in terms of surprises eh."
"Madali lang yan, ako ang bahala," he tapped my shoulder and wiggled his brows.
"Tangina, kinakabahan ako, Yu," napahinga akong malalim nang maisip ko na naman kung paano tatanungin si Trevor. Baka mag no siya, nakakahiya 'yon!
Eugene laughed before drinking his beer. "Kaya mo 'yan, ate. Isipin mo nalang na isang surgery lang 'yan," umakbay ito sa akin. "Basta if it fails, I can still ask dad to set up an arrange marriage for you two or better, we'd all be waiting for you at Deus Sedah."
I laughed and playfully pushed his face away. "Napakacomforting naman talaga, Eugene."
He softly chuckled, "I still stand na buntisin mo nalang siya."
"Saan mo ba ako dadalhin?" natatawang tanong ni Trevor sa akin. It's weird to see him in the passenger seat while we're on a roadtrip.
"Surprise dinner nga," I chuckled at sinunod ang maps. Sobrang kinakabahan pa ako ngayon dahil sa mangyayari mamaya at sa pagmamaneho sa curvy na daan. Ramdam ko nga ang pagpapawis ng mga kamay ko.
