Sweet Serendipity: Oneshot Collection

Terrified

Okay. I'm ready with whatever they have planned today. 30th weeksary. Of course they planned something that will make us all kilig!

Syempre kinikilig din ako noh, haller, Alden Richards kaya yun.

I am kinda anticipating the poem he'll read to me. Isa sa kundisyon ni Lola na magsulat daw si Alden ng tula para kay Divina para pumayag sya sa hinihiling na date ni Alden.

I'm really not expecting Alden to really write the poem himself. Sa dinami dami ng work schedule niya, I doubt na he will still have time to write a poem for a fictional character. I'm just excited to hear whatever the creative writer had come up to make it feel like it was really Alden who penned the words down.

"Lola, pwede po bang dun tayo sa stage? Gusto ko din po kasing marinig ng dabarkads to eh"

Oh, I get it Alden. Para mas intense yung kilig. Okay, whatever makes the audience happy.

Alden, why do you seem fidgety? Bakit parang kinakabahan ka?

"Pinagpuyatan ko to kagabi,"

Oh, really. May I just remind you Mr. Richards na nasa event tayo kagabi and you stayed nung umalis na ako. Wag ako, shoks.

It somehow makes me giggle softly knowing that Alden is really trying hard to make it seem like he really is the one who wrote the poem. Na pinaghirapan nya talaga to.

He heaved a deep breath. Then positioned the mic on his mouth and was about to read, but then shook his head softly and place the mic down for a second.

"Kinakabahan ako, Ms. A"

Alden?

"Ikaw ba talaga nagsulat nyan?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Oo, sakin talaga galing to,"

"Totoo ba?"

"Oo"

"Totoo ba?"

"Oo nga"

"Osige na, basahin mo na yan"

Hmm, he really must have been the one who wrote this down. Pero I'm sure there's someone dictating him on what he was going to write, so kebs lang.

He took a deep breath, then glanced at me before starting.

"Totoo pala ang sinasabi nila
Na ang mga magagandang bagay
Ay darating sa tamang tao
Sa tamang pagkakataon
Walang labis
Walang kulang
At makakamtam sa tamang panahon"

Yes, tama sila, Alden. Dadating at dadating ang lahat ng magagandang bagay sa isang tao, lalo na kung karapat dapat sya. That's why I couldn't be happier for you because finally, you've reached your goal. And you, of all people, deserves whatever you're receiving now. Ito na ang tamang panahon mo, Alden. At masayang masaya ako para sayo.

"Tama sila
Tinamaan na yata ako"

W-what?

"Di ko akalain
Na sa unang pagpansin
Na sa una mong pagtingin
Ako'y mahuhumaling"

What is this, Alden?

"Kilig?
Kilig nga lang ba?
Pero bakit iba ang nadarama?
Ng dibdib kong may pagtataka?"

Seriously, Alden. What is happening here? Ano to?
