HIS..
I thought hindi niya na tatanungin. Hayy, no choice. I guess I'll just have to re-draw the plan. Kapag kasi sinabi ko kung sino yung naka-text ko, baka magkaroon na siya ng idea kung ano yung surprise ko.
Den: I'm waiting, Aly.
Ako: Babe, huwag ka na mahiya. Call me Babe na din.
Pagpapa-cute ko baka kasi mag-work.
Den: Not gonna work, Aly.
Ako: Sabi ko nga.
Napakamot ako ng batok. Bahala na nga siya.
Tok! Tok!
Napatingin kami pareho sa kumakatok sa bintana ng kotse ko and saw a policeman.
YES!
Saved.
Thank you KUYAAA! LOVE YOU! Kiss kita later! Hahah!
Being a good citizen that I am, ehem ehem, ibababa ko ang bintana ko at sa darating na election sa 2016, boboto ako ng tama. I will vote wisely. Please do vote wisely and smartly. We should make our votes count and show everyone that we want to make a change. We want to change our country. We have to change our coutry, but we also have to have that change within us first. Hindi agad agad ang pagbabago, let's be patient and mature in dealing with real life situations.Make sure that whoever wins the Presidential elections and other positions, susuportahan natin yung mga programs and we'll follow the rules para maayos yung bansa. Kahit kasi sino manalo kung simpleng rules and regulations hindi masunod ng mga tao, wala ring kwneta yung botohan. Kaya sa susunod na election, vote for Alvin Valdez for Inspirational Speaker.
HAHAHA
Bago ko ibaba yung window sa may side ko, I looked at Den first to see her reaction, and apparently, she looks frustrated and nanghihinayang so I hinawakan ko yung kamay niya para tumingin siya sa akin and nung tumingin siya, nginitian ko siya tapos binaba ko na yung bintana.
Police: Excuse me Sir, Ma'am. Magandang Hapon ho.
Ako: Magandang Hapon din ho, Sir. Bakit po?
Police: Eh sir, napansin ko kasi kanina pa kayo naka-hazard dito sa gilid. Kako baka naliligaw kayo o may nangyari na dito sa loob, tinted pa naman tong kotse niyo.
Ako: Ahh heheh hindi ho. Pasensya na ho we're having a little discussion po about going to Tagaytay or not.
Police: Ahh ganun ho ba. Sir, baka pwede iparada niyo na lang ng maayos yung kotse kung matagal tagal pa yung diskusyon niyo.
Ako: Uhmm
Tumingin ako kay Den and alam kong gets na niya yung tanong ko.
Den: No po, we're going to Tagaytay na. Thank you, sir.
See, kahit galit siya sa akin or nagtatampo, we still have that inevitable connection na tingin ko most couples who are really in love with each other and those na matagal na talagang magkakakilala have.
Umalis naman na yung policeman and nag-drive na ako papuntang Tagaytay. Buti na lang atuomatic tong kotse ko.
Grabe ang tahimik niya pa din.
Ako: Mommy, galit ka pa din po ka baby?
Paglalambing ko sa kanya.
Den: No.
Hayy eto na naman po. What do you mean? When you nod your head yes, but you want to say no? Hahaha.
Ako: Mommy, wag na magtampo. Please. Bati na tayo.
Lumingon ako ng mabilis sa kanya.
Den: Oo na bati na po tayo. Let's have our date na and try to save this day.
Ako: Yayyy! I love you Dennise Michelle.
Den: I love you too, Alvin Lawrence Ynigo.
------
Ako: Okay, I'm always on my phone because I'm texting Alexa.
I said when we were settled and just chillin' . We're here na sa Starbucks sa Tagaytay, chillin' sa couch and enjoying the view. Nakataas yung paa namin sa table and nakaakbay ako sa kanya while she's hugging me sideways with her coffee. For me this is one of the best chill spots in the Philippines. Sobrang chill kasi ng ambiance and the architectural design and the interior design, pati yung spot na nakuha nila, it's dope. I highly recommend to bring your dates here or go here para lang magrelax and try to unwind.
Den: Alexa?
Ako: Alexa Micek.
Den: Alexa Micek?
She raised an eyebrow sa akin and I know she's waiting for me to elaborate.
Ako: Alexa Micek? Are you not familiar sa pangalan niya?
Den: Would I ask who she is if I know her?
Ako: Sabi ko nga. You don't know her.
Yes! Hindi niya kilala.
Ako: She's a friend back in the US. We met ages before because same school kami nag-aral and higher year siya. Nagulat ako when we hang out before with Mommy Charo na they're friends pala so ayon, I told her to give me a ring if ever they're going back here in the Philippines para maka-hang out natin siya. She told me din about a plan and I wanna help her. She even told me that she's gonna introduce me to someone para makatulong sa gagawin niya.
Den looked like she's having second thoughts. Totoo naman lahat ng sinabi ko sa kanya. I just left out some details kasi balak ko isurprise siya once I'm back to my old shape na nakakalaro na talaga.
Den: Okay.
After ko mag-explain ng mahaba, okay lang? OKAY LANG?
Ako: Are we okay na about the issue?
Den: Opo.
Ako: Sure?
Den: Okay na nga po. Just don't give her mixed signals baka lalo kang landiin niyan.
Ako: She knows that we're together so nothing to get worried about, Boo. Besides, we're just talking about a special business lang.
Den: Just make sure it's not a monkey business, Oyens.
Minsan niya lang ako tawaging Oyens kaya naman alam kong seryosong seryoso siya sa sinasabi niya. I kissed her naman muna sa lips to assure her that my loyalty is with her always.
Ako: Yes po, Pakoy. Promise.
Den: Hayy nako, Baldo. Kung hindi lang kita mahal eh.
Ako: Eh wala eh. You love me that much. Sorry for making you feel jealous ulit.
Den: Okay na nga po yun. You've explained yourself already and I know that you're saying the truth. Na-frustrate lang talaga ako.
Ako: Anyways, pambawi ko. Babe, what do you think about---
??: Excuse me po.
Bakit lagi na lang talagang agaw eksena? I'm about to give my love a preview of what to expect for my surprise tapos ganito?
WOW
Yun lang yung nasabi ko paglingon ko.
We looked at the girl who was talking and our jaws dropped as in literally. Nahulog yung panga ko. Napabukas pa ng todo yung mata ko. I looked at Den and pareho kami ng reaction.
Guys, if you're here, pare-pareho tayo ng magiging reaction. I mean come on, this girl in front of us is legit.
Is this even possible? Meron ba talagang tao na kamukhang kamukha mo kahit hindi mo siya kilala or hindi kayo magka-ano ano?
-a
Sabaw.
