"Hey babe,I will see you at 6 pm today. Be sexy. Got a surprise for you," text ng bf ni Lia sa kanya. Di niya alam kung mapapakunot ba siya o manginigiti. Babe? Eh iba naman tawagan nila but she just brushes off the idea. They have been dating for almost 2 years na and baka nga today is the day every girl like her is waiting for.
"Ngumingiti ka na naman dyan na parang tanga," puna sa kanya ni Tine, ang katabi niyang table sa office. "Magsulat ka na lang ng lesson plan mo at may observation daw us bukas. Peste talaga."
Parang bumagal ang oras para Kay Lia. She keeps on staring at her watch. Kaya kahit napakaingay ng mga estudante niya that day she does not just mind. Iniimagine na niya ang dream wedding niya. Ni halos di nga niya namalayang nakatime out na siya.
She went straight to the shower. Will she bathe in olive or Shea butter? Hay naku ang hirap nga naman main love. She is already 28 and nasa marrying age na. Sa batch nga nila,siya na lang ata ang walang asawa. She is not ugly though. Marami naman talagang nagkakandarapa sa ganda niya pero it's only Angelo whom she had said YES to. May isa pa pero di niya alam if it should be counted.
Pinili na lamang niyang magsuot ng green turtle neck na sleeveless with with black knee length skirt. Siguradong hinding Hindi siya papakawalan pa ni Angelo. Sinubukan niyang tawagan ito but cannot be reached. Napangiti na lamang siya dahil malamang may surprise ito sa kanya.
Bandang five thirty na ng may mapara siyang trike. Putek ang traffic. Naglalaro na sa isip niya ang every detail of her wedding. Metikosolsa siya. Simple but grand,yan ang gusto niya. Nabilang na niya ang gusto niyang pair of primary and secondary sponsors. Mamayang Gabi mag.Skype na sila ng best friend niyang nasa Canada. Every detail is so vivid in her mind. For sure afford na afford ni Angelo ang ganun kabonggang wedding being a son of a multimillionaire.
Maswerteng matatawag si Lia Kay Angelo. Angelo's family belong to the most affluent in town but Angelo can be a real pain in the ass. Siya na siguro ang hari ng mga womanizer. Oo tama but Lia helped him change or so she thought. Wala nanang mapapala si Angelo Kay Lia but still he noticed her.
Anybody can just fall in love with Lia. Bubbly and intelligent. Beautiful and witty. That's her. Siguro it's her personality that made men crave for her.
Sa kaka-imagine niya Ay halos di na niya napansin na nakarating na pala siya. Bungad palang talagang mukhang pinaghandaan na. She smiled to herself. This is it. May private garden ang restaurant, that's their favorite spot. Probably it is in this place where they will have their reception. Perfect.
A violin is being played. Ang sweet talaga ni Angelo. Kahit nakatalikod overflowing ang gwapo ni Angelo. He was wearing a crisp white polo. Awkward lang dahil di naman nila monthsary. Theirs was 2 days ago but he failed to greet her. Probably talagang busy lang siya with work and now siya babawi.
Dahan dahan siyang naglakad and she is 5 steps away ng may biglang
"Babe, I'm so sorry it took me long," sabay halik sa labi ni Angelo. Angelo returned with a more passionate kiss.
Should she move or just stand there? She couldn't breath, her heart skipped a trillion mph. She should have listened to her instincts.
Yes, Angelo is a total player. Gago talaga yun. Lia is just one of his collections. Totoo pala ang rumors regarding Angelo and the newly crowned Ms. Vista. Definitely with a new girl on hand, Angelo will no longer take notice of Lia. No wonder he does not bother to reply anymore. Kaya pala lately, kunting misunderstanding lang ni Lia is a super big deal for Angelo.
