UNWANTED VOWS [LaurierSeries#1]

CHAPTER 11: FITTING

Tahimik lang kaming dalawa habang nasa byahe. Tanging ungol lang ng sasakyan ang maririnig.

I feel awkward, Pero itong lalaking ito ay parang wala lang.

I turned my head to his direction. I observed how perfectly shaped his nose is, and his lips, tinted with a shade of red as if it was touched by crimson lipstick.

He's seems relaxed.

His right hand grips the steering wheel while his left elbow rests on the car window, fingers linger on his lips, adding an extra allure that makes him more hotter.

hooooo so hot!

"Not yet done?" Suddenly he spoke with his usual cold voice that made me come back to my senses.

Napaiwas ako ng tingin.

"Sinasabi mo" Pagtangi ko pa.  And i heard him tsked

*******

Nandito kami ngayon sa fitting room ng isang Gown boutique. I am impressed with the interior of the shop. It was painted in a pale shade of blue. Antique paintings are hanging on the wall. The ambiance is luxurious yet gentle, soft, and often calming hue reminiscent of the sky on a clear day.

"Yes, we have two gowns reserved for your fiance" The beautiful woman said na sa tingin ko ay hindi naglalayo ang edad namin. May sinabi sya sa isang staff tama lang para marinig nya. I was taken aback by what she said. She's the first Person who addressed me as the fiance of this man beside me. Ang sarap pakinggan.

Fiance nya ako?

Napangiti ako ng palihim.

She's Sam, the owner of this shop and Zeke's cousin. I can't deny she's super pretty. Wearing a yellow blazer, white fitted shirt tucked in on her yellow trouser that emphasises her curvaceous body and stelito that makes her more taller.

Tumango tango naman si Ezekhiel "I trust your judgment to choose the perfect gown for her" Tumingin ito sa akin

"Sure you may sit on the couch" Sam gestured her hand at the back. I looked at the back and saw a long sofa resting against the wall. Each side stood small side tables. A single slightly thin magazine lay on top.

Sakto namang pagdating ng ilang mga staff dala ang dalawang puting mahahabang eleganteng gown.

Ibinaba nya ang kamay nya mula sa bawyang ko at naglakad na patungo sa sofa. I watched how he walked towards the couch.

Likod palang, nakaka akit na.

Pero bago pa man sya maka upo ay binawi ko na rin agad ang aking tingin dahil baka kung ano pa ang sabihin nya kapag nahuli nya ako.

"Miss let's go" Ngumiti sya sa
akin at sumenyas na sa likod ko, pumasok kami sa isang kurtina ang harang, malaki ang espasyo at may salamin sa gilid. Dito siguro ako magpapalit. Kaharap nito ang couch kung saan nakaupo ngayon si Ezekhiel, kung lalabas ako ay makikita nya agad ako.

Habang isinusuot ko ang unang gown ay hindi ko maiwasang kabahan. I don't know why I am feeling like this, maybe because nanjan ang mahal ko and he will see me wearing a gown? I don't know! It just couldn't stop! And I hate it, I feel anxious.

Nang matapos kung masuot ang gown ay inayos nila ang zipper sa likod. Sam even looked at me from my head down to my toes, her eyes twinkled kasabay non ang pagsilay ng matamis na ngiti sa kanyang labi bago sinabing humarap ako sa salamin. She's really pretty!

Ang amo ng mukha nya!

"You look absolutely stunning ma'am, this gown fits on you" She complimented me, She's beside me, slightly turned back to showcase the gown freely. I smiled at her.

"Just call me Luna " I corrected

"Ohhh sure" She smiled

yea she's right, and I was impressed, bumagay sa akin. It's simple yet I look so stunning wearing this gown.

It's a Lined Sleeveless that attach embroidered flowers going down to my waist. Malalim ang neckline pero natatakpan parin nito ang dibdib ko. On the lower part is a tiered Layers, Horsehair Edged Wedding gown. Natatakpan nito ang buong paa ko sa harapan, sa likod naman ay mahaba ang laylayan nito na malayang yamayakap sa sahig.

"How old are you Sam?" I asked, still facing the mirror looking at her nagkatinginan kami.

"I turned 24 last month" She replied.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I asked again, I don't know why I unconsciously asked her. Nakita kong bahagyang lumungkot ang mukha nya at napatingin sa sahig bago sumagot

"I had, but unexpected happened" she replied

"I'm sorry" I utter before I held her back.

"It's okay, kasalanan ko naman" Saad nya at ngumiti ng bahagya. Kita ko ang kalungkutan sa mga mata nya. I was curious pero nahihiya akong magtanong pa, at saka hindi pa kami close. Pero sana ay maging okay na sya.

After a minute ay nagsalita sya feeling ko okay na sya
"Labas na tayo?"

"ha?" bigla akong kinabahan sa sinabi nya. Kumabog ang dibdib ko.

Pwede bang wag nalang? ghad!

"Para makita rin ng fiance mo Luna" Kinuha nya ang kamay ko at Inalalayan ako palabas kaya wala na akong nagawa.

Hinawi ng dalawang staff ang magkabilang kurtina para malaya kaming makalabas nakatingin lang ako sa sahig hindi ko alam, basta malakas ang kabog sa loob ng dibdib ko ngayon.

"This is the initial gown" I heard Sam announce. Wala akong narinig na sagot mula kay Exekhiel kaya itinaas ko ang mukha ko para makita kung ano ang reaksyon nya. His face was serious while examining me as if he's assessing my beauty with a deep sense of seriousness and pride. Until our eyes met.

Hindi ko magawang iwan ang mga matang yon, ganon din naman sya kaya tumagal ang titigang nangyari, kung hindi lang tumikhim ang babaeng nasa tabi ko ay hindi na ako magigising pa. Char! Napa kurap kurap ako at napa iwas agad ako ng tingin.

Huyyyyyyy what was that?

*****Since I didn't describe the gown perfectly I'll attatch here insted. I accidentally deleted the back view of the dress Im so sorry, but trust me its beautiful just imagine HEHEHE.
