Aga's always been busy nowadays and it somehow annoys Lea. He barely talks to Lea. He barely visits, texts and calls Lea.
"Eh sa naiinis na nga ako. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari." She said and threw a pillow near the television.
Dawn roamed her eyes around Lea's room and saw that everything's not on it's proper place. The view made Dawn raise her eyebrow.
Ilang gabi bang nagwawala 'tong babaeng 'to? She thought and listened to Lea's drama again.
"Ni hindi nga nagtetext. Hindi gaanong tumatawag. Kung tumawag man, saglit lang. Hindi na nga rin niya ako inaayang lumabas ngayon. Alam mo, D, pakiramdam ko talaga--"
She cuts off Lea by standing infront of her and seriously looked at her, "Alam mo, pakiramdam ko talaga, napaparanoid ka na naman. Ang oa mo. Hindi lang tumawag eh, pagiisipan mo na ng ganyan. Hindi naman na siguro gagawin ni Aga sa'yo 'yon. Ulit. Takot lang niya."
"Pero hindi ko mapigilang hindi magisip ng ganun. He did it once, he might do it again." she answered and held her phone.
"Are you sure you love Aga?" Dawn asked her. She placed her phone to the table again and made a confusing look at Dawn.
"Of course. Pero kasi eh."
"Eh bakit wala lang tiwala sa kanya ngayon? Malay mo naman, busy lang talaga sa trabaho. Malay mo may inaasikaso."
"Ano namang aasikasuhin niya?" She bantered back.
Dawn didn't answer and just smiled naughtily.

"Malamang, hindi kailangang malaman ni Lea 'to." said Richard and placed an arm around Dawn's waist.
"Alam mo, Aga, kulang na lang, sabihin kong nababaliw na talaga si Lea." sagot naman ni Vina.
"Alangan namang ipaalam ko sa kanya 'yong ginagawa ko, 'di ba? Hayaan niyo na." answered Aga and glanced back on his laptop.
"Pwede ka namang mag-plano nang hindi napa-praning si Lea eh. Tignan mo, napagiisipan ka na niya ng hindi maganda." said Vice and crossed his legs.
"Paano kung hiwalayan ka niya?" asked Martin.
Aga looked at him and took off his eyeglass. The rest stared at him waiting for his response.
"We've been together again for almost three years now. Naging mabuti naman akong boyfriend. Napatunayan ko naman na sa kanya. Bakit niya ako hihiwalayan? At sa tingin niyo, papayag ako? Sa tingin niyo ba, gagawin ko 'to kung hahayaan ko lang na mawala siya ulit sa akin?"
The gang smiled and gave him an encouraging smile.

"Tumayo ka na nga diyan, Lea. You have a photoshoot today, remember?" said Dawn. Lea just looked at her and closed her eyes again.
"Nasa labas si Aga." napatayo agad si Lea sa sinabi ni Vina and was about to open the door when they both laughed.
"Si Aga lang makakapagpatayo sa'yo. Tsk. Asa ka namang nandiyan siya."
"Alam niyo, nakakaasar kayo!" she was about to sit again when Dawn stopped her.
"Hep! Mag-ayos ka na. May photoshoot pa!"
"Magpaganda ka. We'll wait for you outside, okay?" Vina and Dawn then left the room as Lea shakes her head.
Bwisit ka, Aga. Nakakainis ka. She said.

Nakarating na sila sa venue. Sa isang hotel. Sinalubong sila ni Kusie and John, her make-up artist and stylist.
"Madame! Tara, let's go na. Dapat shining, shimmering, splendid 'yang ganda mo ngayon! Grabe, naeexcite na ako." said Kusie and looked at her.
"Dapat maganda ang bride!" exclaimed John with his happy tone.
Lea raised her eyebrow, "What?"
"Madame, pang kasal ang photoshoot mo ngayon. Nakakaexcite ngang makita ka in a wedding gown eh." Kusie answered.
"Hindi ko alam na wedding pala. And one more thing, sinong kasama ko?" tanong pa nito.
"Wala, Lei. Ikaw lang muna." Dawn answered.

Marami na silang nakuhang pictures. Pero wala pa 'yong nakasuot ng gown si Lea. That's for the finale shot. Everyone was awed by her dashing beauty wearing different kinds of gowns and white dresses. She's really beautiful.
Iniwan na ni Dawn and Vina si Lea sa photoshoot. May pupuntahan pa raw kasi sila.
"Okay, for the final picture, lipat na tayo sa kabilang venue." the camera man said.
"Where's the other venue?" she asked them.
"Sa simbahan, madame." John asked and showed her the wedding gown.
"Magbihis ka na, madame, malelate tayo." said Kusie.
Pagkasuot niya ng gown, everyone stared at her and admired her beauty. Lea Salonga in a wedding gown.
Naiisip din niyang mapapasuot kaya siya ni Aga ng gown? Wedding gown? Maybe not. Hindi nga nagpaparamdam.
Nakarating na sila sa simbahan at natataranta lahat. Hindi niya alam kung bakit but everyone's taking a picture of her kahit pa stolen. Nasa tapat sila ng simbahan and everyone's seemed nervous.
She was surprised when Dawn and Vina hugged her. They're both wearing a purple gown.
"I love you, Lei." Dawn said and a tear fell from her eyes.
"Be happy. I love you." Vina hugged her too.
"Ano ba 'to? Kasama kayo sa shoot?" she asked because the camera man's still taking pictures.
They didn't answer. They walked away and smiled.
What the heck is going on?
"Open the door. Ayos na lahat." The director said.
Pinatapat nila si Lea sa pinto at lalo siyang kinabahan.
Her eyes grew even wider when the door opened. Revealing many people waiting for her. Si Aga, nasa tapat ng altar. Kasama 'yong tatay niya. Her mom and dad as well.
Hindi siya halos makapaglakad. She even looked to the director and asked what's happening.
"Just walk, Lei. Just walk." he answered.
She saw her friends and colleagues. As in everyone.
She tried her best to walk straight and smile genuinely. But she couldn't stop her tears from flowing. Aga was smiling at her. Her brother, Gerard, is playing the piano.
At last, nakarating din siya sa tapat nina Aga. Her dad and mom hugged her.
"You are getting married, anak." said her mom and kissed her cheeks.
"But you're still my princess." her dad kissed her forehead.
She turned to Aga who is now holding her hand and smiling.
"Hindi ako nagpakita ng ilang araw kasi sabi nila, masama raw 'yon. Ako na rin nag-asikaso ng lahat para 'di ka na mapagod. I love you."
"We are getting married? Is this true?" she asked.
Aga nodded, "Yes, babes. We're getting married."
