Diana Metch's POV
5 months have passed since me and Jedrix arrived here at Manila. And in that 5 months, nakapagpatayo na ako ng café. Me and Jedrix's café rather. So far, madaming costumers araw araw. It means maganda ang background ng café namin.
"Ah mam. May naghahanap po sainyong costumer." Napatigil ako sa pagbabasa ng mga files when my employee said that.
"Oh. Okay, just a minute."
"Okay mam."
I just compose myself and put some powder and lipstick on. Para naman hindi ako mukhang haggard no.
As I step out from my office here at the cafe, tinanong ko.kaagad yung employee ko kung nasan yung naghahanap saakin.
"Ayun po mam oh." And when I look where she was pointing, nanlamig ako. It's Brent.
"Oh. Uhm. Sige. Back to work."
Nervously, I walk towards his table and compose myself.
"Hinahanap mo daw ako?"
I casually asked.
"Oh. Uhm. Take a seat." He awkwardly said so I do what he just said.
"Hmm, anong pag uusapan natin?"
"I-I just want to, ugh. Can we be friends before I tell this to you?" I chuckled on what he have said. Nakakatawa talaga to.
"Oo naman! So, what is it?"
"Me and Chelsea are getting married." then he handed me an invitation. Wedding invitation.
"Really?!" Ohgosh! I'm so happy for them! Finally!
"Buti naman at you learned how to love Chelsea! Ikaw kasi, pakipot pa nung una." pagbibiro ko.
"Diana, hindi ko pinag aralan na mahalin yung babaeng yun. Tsaka kasalanan ko bang matagal kang nag stay sa malaking space ng puso ko kaya nahirapan akong magmahal ng iba?" I was stunned on what he've said. Kailangan pa bang sabihin yan?
"Diana. I want to thank you for all you've done for me. Thanks for everything. Thanks for the memories. Itre-treasure ko yun lahat. And I hope, tuloy tuloy na yung sainyo ni Jedrix. Road to forever na. Salamat dahil ikaw yung naging first love ko. Sabihin mo lang saakin kapag niloko ka o sinaktan ni Jedrix ha? Sasapakin ko yun."
I almost teared up sa mga sinabi niya. He will be always a part of my life. I swear.
"Joke. By the way, kayo ni Jedrix? Kelan niyo balak?" he asked as he sips from his coffee.
"Kasal? Nako. Hindi pa. Wala pa ngang proposal, kasal na agad? Tsaka ineenjoy muna namin yung buhay na mag-syota palang. Hassle na kapag mag asawa eh."
"Pero masaya. So, I have to go. Ibibigay ko pa tong mga invitation na to sa iba. See you sa kasal."
"Sige. Congrats ulit." I just watched him leave our café. He changed for a better. Mas nag matured na siya at naging hands on sa mga bagay bagay. Lalo na kina Chelsea and Chris.
Speaking of Baby Chris, nakilala niya na si Jedrix as his real dad. Namamasyal sila ngayon. Son and Father bonding perhaps. Napagkasunduan namin na tuwing Saturdays and Sundays, kay Jedrix siya. And Monday to Friday, kina Chelsea.
"Sissy!" Napapitlag ako when I heard someone calling me. Eh sino pa bang tumatawag saakin nun?
"Ate Hannah! What brought you here?"
She twitched her lips as she sits on the chair na inupuan kanina ni Brent. "Nag away kami ng Kuya mo."
Ayan. Kaya ayoko muna mag-asawa, away ng away. Parang yung kuya ko lang tsaka si Ate Hannah. Tsk. They're happily married one year ago. Ay, ewan ko kung HAPPY. Puro naman kasi away ang nababalitaan ko.
"What happened?"
"Yang kuya mo! Nambababae! Walangya yun! Tatahi-tahimik tapos may ka chat na pala! Langya! Akala ko naglalaro lang ng CoC, tapos yun pala may ka chat na! Nako! Isa nalang talaga hihiwalayan ko na yan!" Ang ingay talaga netong sister-in-law ko! Good thing, nasa dulong part kami ng café kaya di gaanong nakakaabala sa mga costumers.
"How did you find out naman?"
"Edi hinack ko yung facebook niya!"
Pfft. Kaya hanga ako dito eh. Kayang kayang gawin ang hindi mo inaakala.
-----
"Haaaay. Nakakapagod!"
9 in the evening na pero ngayon lang ako nakauwi dito sa condo ko. Ang dami kasing costumers ngayon. Saturday kasi.
I felt someone hug me from behind. Scent palang nito, kilala ko na.
"Bakit ngayon lang ang maganda kong girlfriend?"
He asked in a sweet tond.
"Kasi po gwapo kong boyfriend, madaming costumers. Teka, bakit andito ka? Uwi ka sa condo mo! Uwi!" Bakit ba kasi andito to?!
"Maganda kong girlfriend naman oh! Ngayon lang! Tsaka wala naman akong gagawing masama sayo. Takot ko nalang sa dalawang kuya mo."
Litanya niya.
"Fine. Tara na."
"Di ka na kakain?"
Umiling nalang ako at ngumiti. "Kumain na ako sa café natin kanina."
We headed towards my room. Ngayon ko lang napansin na nagpakulay nanaman pala to ng buhok. Anong trip neto at color blonde naman ang tinarget?
"Anong trip mo? Bakit blonde yang buhok mo?" I asked him habang binubuksan ko yung aircon.
"Wala lang. For a change?" then he chuckled. Nag indian seat naman ako sa may kama at habang siya, nakasandal lang sa pader.
"Anong tinatayo-tayo mo diyan? Upo ka dito oh. Baka naman inaantok ka na? Higa ka na." Sabi ko sabay ayos nung mga unan. He just gave me his aegyo (cute) face at nagpout.
"Jedrix, ikaw na ang nagsabi na harmless ka. Sige ka, mapapagod ka diyan kakatayo. Bahala ka."
Maya maya pa, umupo na din siya sa kama.
"How's your day with Christopher?"
I saw him sighed kaya medyo nabahala ako. "Hey, may nangyari ba?" Umiling naman siya at ngumiti. "Nothing. But sabi niya, gusto niya daw maging ring bearer sa kasal natin." Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya? Oo. Pero mas ikinagulat ko ang paglapit niya sa mukha ko.
"H-hoy. Umayos ka nga. Inaantok na ako!" I tried to avoid his gaze but I can't. Aish! Jedrix naman eh!
"Metch." Oh gosh! Lord, wag po muna ngayon! Please pooo!
May kinuha siyang kung ano sa bulsa niya and I wonder what is that.
"A-ano yan?" I nervously asked him. Baka kasi kung ano yun eh!
I saw him smirked kaya mas kinabahan ako. Dapat kasi hindi ko na pinayagan yan eh! Tsk!
He held my hand. "Metch, will you marry me?". I was shocked on what he have said. I look on what he's holding on and I saw a ring. Diamond ring.
Tears started to escape my eyes.
I covered my mouth with my left hand to stop my tears pero makulit eh. Ayaw tumigil.
"Y-yes Jedrix. Y-yes."
Isinuot niya na saakin yung singsing before he claimed my lips. Oo, nagkikiss na kami dati. Pero iba to eh, special kumbaga.
He cupped my cheeks and stare at me deeply habang pinupunasan niya ang mga luha ko.
"I love you. I love you. I love you."
"I love you too. I love you too. I love you too." I answered.
Hindi ko ineexpect to. Yung magpropropose siya. Dito pa sa kwarto ko. Well, kahit na hindi napaghandaan ayos lang saakin. Ang mahalaga, nagmamahalan kami at kaming dalawa na ang magkasama forever. Sabi nga nila, expect the unexpected.
Humiga na kami dahil nakaramdam na din ako ng antok. Umunan ako sa nga braso niya tsaka siya niyakap.
"Goodnight gwapo kong boyfriend." I said habang nakapikit na. I felt him kiss my head kaya medyo nagulat ako.
"Goodnight din maganda kong girlfriend. Sleep tight."
