Love Next Door

32 - Project "Proposal"

MIKA

I have no idea how to deal with this.

The break-up that I've experienced before paled in comparison to what I've been feeling since yesterday.

Buti na lang, hindi ako masyadong kinukulit ni Jeron.

He would just check on me once in a while through text or call. Hindi naman siya katulad ko na naka-bakasyon. Buti na lang talaga.

Because to be honest, hindi pa ako handang harapin siya ulit.

Nakahiga lang ako ngayon sa kama nang biglang nag-ring yung phone ko.

Contrary to what I expected, it was Ara who's calling.

"Daks!!! Ano, kumusta buhay bakasyonista?"

"Hi bes. Eto, tamad life. Pangalawang araw pa lang eh. Kayo diyan, kumusta business?"

"Good naman! Anyway, kaya ako tumawag kasi may good news ako sayo."

"Talaga? Ano yun?"

"Alam mo bang may upcoming exhibit ulit si King Archer mo?"

"TALAGAAA?!?!?!"

Bigla akong napabalikwas ng bangon.

"Oo te! At dahil magaling akong bestfriend, kinuhanan na kita ng pass."

"OMG OMG! Seryoso ka ba dyaaann?? I love youuu, Arabelsss!!!"

"Yes, madam! Daanan mo na lang dito sa salon on the same day. Two days from now yun ah."

Agad? Bakit parang ang bilis naman?

Pero wala na sakin yun, basta the best si King Archer. Dumadating talaga siya pag kelangan ko.

"Ok! Darating ako, sure yan! Thank you, tomsy!!!"

Ok, Mika.

Kalimutan mo muna si Jeron ha?

Jeron who?

Ok, nakalimutan ko na siya.

Now it's about my one true crush!!!

King Archer, wait for meee!!!

JERON

I've been preparing for this since February.

I let my eyes roam over the place where different photos of her are scattered.

Kung dati, problem ko parati ang venue, ngayon hindi na. Thanks to Tito Manuel. He gave me a whole floor in the newly built Rockwell Art Center.

No better way to make use of this place but to hold the most special exhibit in my whole life.

Tomorrow's art display will be exclusive for her, and only her.

Si Mika yung subject, at siya rin yung audience.

Only our families and close friends know about what I'm about to do. Thankfully, all of them gave their blessing and wished me luck.

Ara was even willing to help out kaya as part of the plan, I asked her to call Mika para siya na ang mag-invite dito.

"Bilib ako sayo, bro. Diba tatanungin mo pa lang kung pwede mo siyang maging girlfriend? Bakit parang marriage proposal na 'tong pineprepare natin?", Arnold asked all of a sudden.
