KABANATA 9
I WISH
Ilang araw lang ako sa Beverly Hills at bumalik din ako sa New York. I decided na hindi muna pumasok ngayon sa opisina dahil may mga paperworks naman ako na kaya kung gawin dito sa bahay.
Narinig ko na may nag dodorbell sa labas ng gate at nakita ko sa CCTV ang sasakyan ni Noel. Huh? Anong ginagawa niya dito? At nine am?
Pinindot ko ang button para bumukas ang gate at agad naman siyang pumasok at pinark niya na ang sasakyan niya.
"What are you doing here-?"
"You won't believe this. Anthony is going to propose to Audi. So we need to go-"
"Wait! Wait! Slow down! Si Anthony mag pro-prose na?!"
"Yes. So we need to go. Kasi sa Miami siya mag pro-propose."
Nanlaki ang mata ko. "Miami? Huh?"
"Yes yes."
"Okay. Teka lang. May tatawagan ako-"
"No! Don't call Audi-"
"What? Of course not! Hindi ko siya tatawagan! Si Hazel ang tatawagan ko dahil icacacancell ko ang mga meetings and events na dapat ko puntahan. Ilang days ba tayo dun?"
"Probably five."
I nodded. "Okay. Mag aayos na din ako sa mga damit-"
Napahinto ako sa pag sasalita dahil may nag door bell na naman at nakita ko ang sasakyan ni Kim.
"They're here." Noel said.
"Asikasuhin mo muna sila. Ayusin ko lang ang mga gamit ko para maka alis na tayo agad."
Noel nodded. "Alright."
Agad ko na kinuha ang maleta ko at tenext na din si Hazel. Grabe biglaan. Wala manlang nag text saakin kagabi para sana mas naka ready ako.
Nag bihis na ako at inayos ko na ang muka ko ngayon.
"Faster, babe!" Sigaw ni Ashlyn sa baba.
Pababa na ako sa hagdan at agad na kinuha ni Noel ang maleta ko.
"Thanks."
"Dito kana saakin." Noel said.
"I have car."
"Rhea, go with Noel. Don't use your car." Mariah said.
Hindi na ako humindi at agad nalang sumakay sa sasakyan ni Noel.
"And you really use this car. Your fans know about this car."
"It's okay." He smiled. "And matulog ka muna. Baka matagal pa ang byahe natin."
Tumango ako. Ayoko muna matulog kaya kinuha ko ang cellphone ko. Nag pop up saakin na nag li-live sila Kim at iniinvite nila ako.
I turn off my phone. Ilang minuto rin narinig ko na tumunog ang cellphone ni Noel at agad niya 'to kinuha.
"Ashlyn texted me. They're live. Sumali ka daw."
I rolled my eyes at pinikit nalang ang mata ko.
Dumating na kami sa airport at andoon na ang private jet ni Noel.
"I'm so excited!" Kim said.
"Yes! Same here! Audi and Anthony are getting married. I'm sure Audi will be shocked that we are going there."
Tatlong oras ang flight namin at hindi na ako inaantok. Tumabi saakin si Mariah at ang dami niyang pinapakita na mga pictures niya.
"You looked gorgeous in all the pics, Mariah."
"Yeah, I know. But just choose ten pictures."
"I don't know. They're all the same."
"They're not. Okay, whatever. I'll just ask Kim and Ashlyn."
Pagkaalis ni Mariah sa tabi ko, biglang tumabi sa akin si Noel.
"Are you okay?" Noel asked.
"Yes. I'm okay."
Finally, we're here.
"Yes! Miami baby!" Sigaw ni Ashlyn.
"So this is the plan. Audi and Anthony are in the resort." Ani ni Noel. "We should go there. Of course Audi didn't know. If Audi ask why we are there, we should tell her that Anthony invited us for his birthday."
"Huh? Birthday? But Anthony's birthday is next week. I think?" Kim said.
"Yes yes. Just follow me guys. Anthony will do the rest."
Nandito na kami sa labas ng resort, naghihintay kasi palabas na raw si Anthony. Minutes passed at thank God! Andito na siya.
"Bro!" si Noel.
"Yo! Thank you guys for coming. So here's the catch. You will tell Audi that you all are here for my birthday and I just celebrated it early cause we know we will be busy next week."
We all nodded. "Alright, let's go." I said.
"My gosh! I'm so excited." Ashlyn said.
Papasok pa lang kami sa resort ng bigla kaming nagkasalubong ni Audi.
"Anthony, where have you been- huh, guys? What are you doing here?"
Anthony and Noel explained to Audi why we are here. Buti nalang wala ng mga tanong si Audi.
Same room kaming apat ni Ashlyn at Mariah at Kim, at sobrang kinikilig at excited sila sa mangyayari mamayang gabi.
"Audi's and Anthony's parents are in the other room." Kim said.
"Oh, really? I didn't know. We should visit them later." Mariah said.
Maganda ang plano ni Anthony kasi bukod sa andito kami ay sinigurado niya na andito ang parents nila. Mas importante parin na andito ang pamilya sa mga ganitong importanteng mangyayari. At buti rin ay plano na lahat ni Anthony para hindi rin mag kabiglaan sa huli. Maganda ang ginawa niyang plano para kay Audi. Mahal na mahal talaga niya si Audi.
Gabi na at dito kami magdidinner malapit sa dalampasigan. Hindi ko man pinapakita pero sobrang excited din ako. Kumain na kami at ang banda na kanina rock ang music, ngayon slow music na ang kinakanta nila. Nag katitigan si Noel at si Anthony and nakaramdam ako na malapit na...
And then, this is it. Biglaang lumuhod si Anthony at lumaki ang mata ni Audi.
"My best friend, my love. We've been through so much together. Whenever I see your smile, I know, that's the smile I want to see for the rest of my life. So my love, tonight, I promise to you that you will be the girl I will love and I will choose for the rest of my life."
"Love." Audi cried.
"Love, will you marry me?"
"Yes! Of course! I will marry you."
Agad na yinakap ni Anthony si Audi at sinuot ang singsing. Hindi ko namalayan na tumulo na pala ang luha ko at linagyan ni Noel ang kamay ko ng tissue.
"Aww. I wish to find someone like that." Kim said.
