Chapter 7 *Interview*

Chapter 7 *Interview*

July 15, 20xx  - Eiffel Tower, Paris France, 8:30 p.m

"Wow. Ang ganda ng view dito!" I spoke rather loudly, clearly mesmerized by the stunning view.

"Hah. I knew you would like it." I looked at Alex and saw that he was looking at me with a smile on his face. I blushed at him.

Mamayang 10:30 in the evening na ang flight namin pauwi kasi napaadvance eh. Syempre, arrangements of our wedding and such.

Like, duh! Ikakasal na kame. I finally said yes to him when he proposed to me. And mind you, it's one of the best days in my life.

Malapit na kaming ikasal. The sooner the better daw. At syempre, hindi din makakatakas sa 'to sa media kaya bukas na bukas din, haharap na kame sa kanila. Finally announcing our marriage.

Nandito kami ngayon sa Eiffel Tower and all I can say is, it's so beautiful here! Ang ganda! The view is so mesmerizing. I'm in love here. In the city of love.

I don't know but, ang bilis ng pangyayare. For a moment there kakakilala ko pa lang sa kanya and now, we're together and getting married! Time flies by so fast. It's actually making me rather.. nostalgic.

"Oh, mamaya ka na ngumuwa at mageempake pa tayo. Let's go." Pagaanyaya ni Alex. I looked at him and saw that he's looking at me intently. 

I held my camera and am about to take a picture of us. "Teka! Last! Say keso!" I counted from one to three at humarap sa kanya. I was about to open my mouth para belatan siya kaso nauna siyang humarap at ang nangyare, kiniss niya ako! I blushed at his gesture, with my eyes wide. He laughed at my expression, took my camera, and laughed even more at my expression in our photograph. 

My goodness, this guy's going to be the death of me.

"You're so cute." He said smiling while pinching my cheeks. "Let's go, red face." At ngumisi siya habang ako ay pulang pula pa din.

"Aleeeeex!" Sigaw ko sa kanya habang hinahampas hampas siya at ngayon ay tatawa tawa pa din. 

Airport, Paris, France 10:25 p.m

Five minutes nalang, aalis na ang plane. Expecting it 2:30 in the afternoon dating namin sa Pinas. We took an early flight 'cause our interview's gonna be at 5 in the afternoon so, sakto lang. Ngayon pa nga lang kinakabahan na ako, eh. Doon pa kaya?

[All aboard. The plane will be leaving in ten minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts and turn off the remaining gadgets, thank you.]

When the flight attendant announced that, I just lay my head on Alex's shoulders. I can feel him tensing up and it made me smile. This guy. He's really my comfort zone and I feel at ease when I'm with him. Without even knowing it, I fell asleep in that position.

July 16, 20xx Maxim's Hotel 4:55 p.m

We just arrived here at Maxim's two hours ago. We stayed in one of the hotel's bedrooms, took a rest, had a little bit of retouch for Abby. When we're finally done, pumunta na kami sa lugar kung san gaganapin ang interview. I can see that Abby looks tired and at the same time, not yet ready for the interview pero pinipilit pa rin niya. She's really something. Now this, this is the girl I'm be with forever. And I'm totally blessed to have her in my life.

"Mr. Alexander Lee, you're up in five minutes." tawag ng isa sa staff dito.

"Hn." I signaled my hand a sign for go and shook my head yes. It's a thing we do here when we're ready.
