She immediately prepared herself nang lumabas ng kwarto si Mike.
Kahit na hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin nila sa bahay nito,hindi na siya nagtanong pa. They got in his car and made their way.
The whole ride was quiet. No one bothered to talk. There was even no radio playing. For the first time, his silenceness was deafening for her. Hindi siya sanay na ganoon si Mike, walang kibo. Hindi niya alam kung galit ba ito o ano.
'pero mukhang galit siya.' sabi niya pa sa sarili.
She was in a deep thinking when the car suddenly stopped. Napatingin agad siya sa katabi na dahan dahan namang bumaba ng sasakyan. He went on her side and opened the car's door. She stepped out while looking at him kahit na hindi ito nakatingin sa kanya.
She just remained standing for a few seconds before feeling his arm around her waist and guiding her inside.
Cassandra's POV
The moment our feet touched the inside of their house, we were immediately welcomed by Kael.
"Ate!!!!!" he squealed as he ran towards us. I smiled at him.
"you're here again." sabi niya pa nang nakayakap na sa akin. I leveled myself with his height and pinched his cute cheeks, making him pout.
"Eeeee."
"you're here. Kanina pa sila excited sa inyo." biglang sabi naman kuya ni Mike na si Christian nang makita kami. I gave him a small smile then glanced at the man beside me who to my disappointment still didnt look at me.
Nagtatampo pa rin. Hay!
"let's go..." sabi naman ng batang nasa harapan ko sabay hila sa kamay ko. Sumama na rin kami sa kanya.
As we reached the dining area, my eyes widened in instant and shoot to him, as if sending him the question "What is this?"
"They wanted to meet you." he shrugged, mouthing the words to me. Gone was the sulking man I was with lately. I, again, backed my gaze to the people in front of me.
Kael, his two older brothers, a man who I guess is their Dad and...
"The guest is here!" a woman beamed holding a bowl of salad, I think. She must be their mother. Mas lalo akong kinabahan. I haven't thought that I would be meeting his family now, as in right now.
Mike then faked a cough taking me out of my reverie and starting what he was going to say. I nervously glanced at him, who just smiled and pulled me closer to his side. I then looked at his family that has been looking at us, at me.
Can the ground just swallow me?
"Everyone, Cassandra Marie, my forever" he proudly introduced. Saglit akong napatingin sa kanya at sa pamilya niya to see their reactions bago ako yumuko. They were smiling sweetly at me and I also found it hard to suppress the kilig.
..my forever...it echoes in my head
"Glad to finally meet you, dear." his mother welcomed with a hug and kiss on my cheek. I tried my very best to smile formally at Mrs. Sevilla.
"Nice to finally meet you." Mr. Sevilla then said, shaking my hand.
"Hello." his oldest brother- Paul greeted informal tone doing the same.
"Welcome to the family." beamed also by his other brother - Christian.
And I responded to them with a smile.
"So kailangan ba ang kasal?" Panimula naman ng Daddy niya nang makaupo na kami. Lahat sila napatingin sa amin ni Mike kasabay ng ilang segundong katahimikan before responding with smirks and giggles as if making it as a joke. Napatingin rin naman ako saglit sa lalaking katabi ko na nakangiti lang. I remembered his question that night
