HERS..
Malapit na mag-12 and sobrang excited na ko to surprise my Boo.
Ako: Okay na ba talaga, guys?
I asked them. Nakaupo silang lahat sa bed ni Aly, and sa couch dun sa room.
Ate Fille: Okay na lahat, Den. Relax ka lang. Nandito na ba yung family mo?
Ako: Yes, Ate Fille. Sa back door sila pumasok.
Mona: Deeeeds, can you please just calm down. It's not like you're going to propose kay Alvin eh. Ni hindi pa nga kayo eh.
Ako: Fine, fine. I'll try to relax and Mowns, Aly will be my boyfriend and future husband.
Tasha: Wow, sure na sure ah. Isn't that too advance and fairytail-ish, D?
Ako: It may sound fairytail-ish, Tashing but something tells me that I found the one.
Ella: Taray, super inlababo lang kay Oyens, Besht?
Ako: Yes, Besht. I love him pero right now I want to take things one step at a time.
Ella: Good to know na you can still handle your feelings kahit super in love ka na kay Besh Oyens. Don't worry, we will support the both of you naman.
Ate Fille: Trueee, and Dee, good catch na and Baby Oyens ko.
Ako: No, Mommy Fille, best catch si Aly.
They gave me meaningful looks after what I said and nginitian ko lang sila in return. Wala eh, kinikilig ako and I truly love Aly.
I took a deep breathe and tried to calm my excited nerves. 11:40 na kaya pinababa ko na si Von para ibigay na kay Tita Pabs yung go signal for the surprise.
Ako: Von, malapit na mag-12, give Tita Pabs the go signal for the plan na.
Von: Aye, aye Boss.
He said with matching saludo pa na ikinatawa naman naming lahat sa room.
Ella: Besht, tago na tayo tapos hawakan mo na yung cake.
Tumango ako then kinuha yung cake sa ref ni Aly. Pinatay na din yung ilaw then naka stand by na yung poppers. Biglang bumukas yung pinto and nagulat kami kasi si Von lang pala yun.
ALE: VON!
Von: S-sorry girls. Hooh! Anyways, paakyat na si Oyens and sakto, 2 mins. na lang and he's officially 18.
He said catching his breath.
Ako: Sige na Von, okay na. Let's get ready.
We heard footsteps papunta sa room ni Aly na parang tumatakbo. I guess pinagmadali siya ni Tita. I took a deep breath and waited until someone opened the door and there I saw him standing outside his bedroom door and I can't help but feel giddy inside. Kinapa niya yung switch then nung nabuksan na niya yung ilaw, pinaputok na ni Von and Ate Gretch yung poppers and we all shouted.
ALL: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALVIN!/ OYENS!/ BOO!
Nakita ko naman si Aly na gulat na gulat and naka-ngiti lang siya all the time.
Aly: Damn! WOW! Thank you so much for this. Wow as in. Saktong 12 talaga oh. WOW!
Sabi niya ng paulit ulit. Kumanta naman kami ng Birthday song then lumapit na ako sa kanya with the ube cake he loves.
Ako: Happy Birthday, Boo!!!!
I said when the song ended. All smiles pa din siya when he saw me tapos napailing pa. Napansin ko naman na medyo teary-eyed na siya.
Ako: Besht, pahawak naman.
I said then handed Ella tapos inakap ko si Aly. My hands are around his neck while his is around my waist and shoulders.
Ako: Surprise!
Bulong ko sa kanya. I felt him hug me tighter and he kissed my shoulder.
Aly: Thank you so much!
He said na may nginig sa boses kaya medyo lumayo ako sa kanya only to see him crying and smiling at the same time. Natawa naman ako tapos pinunasan ko yung luha niya.
Ako: Stop crying, Boo. Hahah you're so cute.
Ginulo ko yung buhok niya then hugged him again. He laughed heartily.
Aly: Thank you so much I love you, Dennise Michelle Lazaro. Sobra sobra kitang love.
Ako: I love you too, Alvin Lawrence Ynigo Valdez.
He kissed my forehead tapos ako naman humalik sa pisngi niya.
