MY RIVAL

Part 22

Fast Forward:

Ayla POV:
I woke up to my alarm ringing. I turn my alarm off and I realize it's already 6 am, our graduation ceremony starts at 10 am. I try to get out of bed but Maeve is hugging me super duper tight.

A: Babi. I have to get up na.
ML: No. Ayaw.
A: Babi. Pls. I have to shower and get my makeup done na.
ML: (whispers) Maganda ka na.
A: Ano?
ML: I said you already look beautiful.
A: Nagbola ka pa.
ML: I'm serious Lovey.
A: I'm also serious. I need to get up na.
ML: Fine, but one condition.
A: Ano?
ML: KISS.
A: Fine

I agreed with Maeve's condition, so I sit on top of him and I kiss him on the lips.

ML: More pls.
A. No. One lang.

I get off of Maeve and I go shower.

Maeve POV:
Ayla get's out of bed and I just lay there for another hour. Around 7 am I finally get out of our bed and I look for Ayla. I walk around the whole house and I finally found her in one of the guest rooms doing her makeup.

ML: Hi Babi.
A: Wag makulit. Galit pa ako.
ML: I'm sorry.
A: Diba you promised that you won't be makulit anymore.
ML: Opo. Sorry na. (Puppy eyes)
A: Ok fine I forgive you. Ang cute mo kasi.
ML: YAY. LOVE YOU.
A: Love You Babi.

I kiss Ayla on lips and I went back to bed since I only have to shower and change.

Fast Forward:

Ayla POV:
It's now 8:30 am and I finally finish doing my makeup. I went into me and Maeve's room to check on him.

A: Babi?
ML: I'm showering!
A: Ok.

While he's showering I sat on the bed and just went on my phone. After 5 mins Maeve finally comes out of the bathroom.

ML: Kanina ka pa.
A: No. Mga 5 mins only.
ML: (tulala)
A: Babi? Hello?
ML: Huh?
A: What happened?
ML: Wala. You're so beautiful talaga.
A: Hay nako, mag bihis ka na.
ML: Ok fine.

I went to go do my hair and Maeve went and got changed into his suit. After 20 mins I finished curling my hair and Maeve is just sitting on the bed waiting for me to finish.

A: (sigh) Finally!
ML: Are you done na po. It's already 9.
A: Opo let's go. We have to pick up the others pa.

Maeve POV:
Me and Ayla finally get out of the house and  I start driving to Mila's house.

A: I'm so excited na.
ML: Ako din. I get to graduate with the love of my life then I get to marry her.
A: I wonder who that is.
ML: You're so funny, Babi. Of course it's you. Hahahha.
A: AWWW! By the way that's Mila's house right there.

I park in front of Mila's house and Ayla starts screaming Mila's name.

A: MIMI!!!! MILA!!!!!
MR: WAIT LANG!
ML: Babi, why are you screaming?
A: Because...

As Ayla was finishing her sentence Mila comes out of her house and enters the car.

A: AHHHHH ANG GANDA MO!!!!
MR: THANK YOU! IKAW DIN!! Ay, wait lang. UYAB! I mean CALIN! BILISAN MO NA!

I thought we were picking everyone up one by one but then Calin comes out of Mila's house and Mila called him Uyab.

ML: (whispers) What does uyab mean?
A: (whispers) it's like love. It's like how we call each other Babi.
ML: (whispers) But why did Mila call Calin uyab?
A: (whispers) I don't know. (Out loud) Ummm? Mimi?
MR: Ya? Asan na ba yung lalaki na yun?
A: Ano sabi mo kanina?
MR: Ano? Calin?

Suddenly Calin comes into my car.

C: What's up? Sinabi nyo ba pangalan ko?
MR: Ewan ko dito kay Ayla. Parang Ewan.
A: Meron ako na rinig eh.
ML: I heard it too eh.
C: Ano?
ML: Mila said Uyab.
MR: Ahhhhh. Sabihin ko na nga.
C: May sikreto kami.
A: Kayo na?
MR: Oo.
ML: Um. Sorry to disturb your conversation but can I start driving.
MR: Oh sorry. Go.

I start driving, meanwhile Ayla and Mila are having their conversation.

Ayla POV:
A: Anyways kayo na?
MR: Oo.
A: Since when?
MR: Nung nag stay kami sa bahay nyo.
A: Ha? Totoo?
MR: Sorry.
A: Wait. Calin? Prank ba to?
C: Huh? Hindi. Promise. And sorry sa istorbo pero sila Sage, Stella at Jade ay nasa bahay ni Gaia.
ML: Ok copy. We're almost there.

While Maeve and Calin are talking. I'm trying to find out when Mila and Calin started dating.

A: Bat Hindi mo sinabi na kayo na.
MR: Baka magalit ka.
A: And why? We promised to never keep secrets from each other. Do the others know?
MR: Yes.

I was shocked when Mila said the others know about her and Calin's relationship. But luckily Maeve held my hand and told us we are at Gaia's house.

ML: Guys we're here.
A: (cold tone) Call them na.
C: Ako na.

Calin got out of the car and knocked on Gaia's door. After a while, Calin, Sage, Stella, Jade and Gaia came inside the car.

SS: HI GUYS!!! ANG GANDA NYO!!!!
A: (ignores)
MR: Thank you.
SS: Luh, Anyare dun?
A: Wala.
ML: Babi. You might get an anxiety attack. And I don't want you to have a heavy heart during graduation and especially our wedding. (Holds her hand)
A: Fine. Alam nyo na pala?
SC: Ano yun?
A: Na sila na.
SS: Shit. Sorry bhe. Pero alam na namin.
A: Kayo lahat. Sila Jade at Gaia din?
J: Sorry pero Oo.
A: (mad) Why aren't you guys telling me these things?!
MR: Kasi, Grade 10 sinabi mo saamin may crush ka kay Calin and till this day parang Meron ka pang crush sa kanya.

Maeve POV:
When I heard those words come out of Mila's mouth my heart sank.

ML: Uhhh, guys 10 more mins.
A: Babi. Sorry.
MR: Ayla, gusto mo padin sya?
A: I have to be honest I thought I don't like Calin anymore but I think I still kinda like him. But I have Maeve na. (Tears up)

As soon as I heard those words I started to tear up because I really thought I was the only guy Ayla likes.

A: Babi, I'm sorry. (Holds Maeve's hand)
ML: (let's go of her hand) We're here na.

We all get out of the car and head over to the ceremony. Sage, Stella, Ayla and Mila go together and me and the boys walk in together.

C: Bro? Ok ka?
ML: Ya.
G: Sure, ok ka lang?
ML: Ya.
C: No I'm sorry. I didn't know Ayla had feelings for me.
ML: It's ok. Anyways inuman at my place.
J: G ako.
G: Nakakainis talaga to. But Maeve if this is how you cope, G.
C: I'll go too.
ML: Jade can you tell the girls.
J: Sige text ko si Sage.

Ayla POV:
Me and the girls are walking into the ceremony. But that walk was the most awkward thing yet. Not until Sage says something.

SS: GUYS!
SC: Ano?
SS: Nagaaya daw si Maeve mag inuman sa bahay Nila Ayla. Ano G kayo?
SC: G ako. Ikaw Mimi?
MR: G, kung ok lang Kay Ayla.
A: It's fine.

We arrive to the ceremony and we sit down in our assigned seats.

Fast Forward:

Maeve POV:
The ceremony starts and we are all getting called to get our certificates and awards. But all I can think about the whole ceremony is the conversation in the car.

What if I just cancel the wedding.
