[76] LEAVE US ALONE

KURT'S POV

It has been a week since Gail and I became okay. Well, okay isn't the right term for our relationship now. I must say that we are now wonderfully into each other. Being with her makes me feel I'm home.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Baby loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

My brow creased and then eventually chuckled while watching this video... Video of my second and official marriage proposal to Gail infront of hundred of people. Wow, is this really me?

"Sina Kaye Anne at Chloe yung boses na yun. Ang lakas tumili noh?"

Tinignan ko si Gail sa harapan ko. Nasa harapan niya si Axel na naka-indian sit sa ibabaw ng mesa dito sa dining room. Ang daming chocolate biscuits sa table. Hindi na ako magugulat kung biglang sumakit ang ngipin ni Axel mamaya. 

Speaking of Axel, Gail told me that he's her nephew. She explained everything to me on how Axel became part of my life and yeah, I got amused of what she said. Si Axel pala ang dahilan kung bakit hindi natuloy ang kasal namin ng pinsan ni Gail na si Kaye Anne.

"Mas kinilig pa sila kesa sayo eh," mahinang sabi ko at ibinalik na ang tingin ko sa laptop na nasa harapan ko.

"Marry me, Crystal."

"Am I dreaming?"

"Sh*t, you're not. Bahala ka, basta papakasalan kita." Nakita ko sa video na isinusuot ko na ang engagement ring sa ring finger ni Gail. Napangiti tuloy ako.

Medyo kumunot naman ang noo ko nang makita ko ang sarili ko sa video na parang may binulong kay Gail, kaya tinignan ko ulit siya sa harapan ko. Nagsusubuan na sila ngayon ni Axel ng wafer sticks. 

"Gail," I called her and then she looked at me, still chewing. "Anong binulong ko sayo dito? Gusto kong malaman."

Tinignan ko ulit ang video. Tss. Wala na. Hindi na kami exposed. Nakatutok na kasi dun sa mga guests. Bitin. Tsk!

"Alin dun?"

Sinarado ko ang laptop at muling tumingin sa kanya. "Yung pagkatapos kong isuot sayo yung engagement ring?"

I got even more curious when I saw her cheeks beet red. She then looked away and resumed herself on feeding Axel. "Wala yun. Hindi importante yun, Kurt." 

"Eh bakit ka namumula?" I asked, curiously and then glided Axel closer to me. Inabot ko ang face towel niya sa top table saka ko pinunasan ang pisngi niya. Mukha na siyang yagit. Tsk.

"W-w-wala!" 

I looked at her again and smiled menacingly, "Was it something naughty?"

Her eyes widened and blushed even more, "Ugh! Basta!" 

Buti nalang ay tahimik si Axel at madaling alagaan kaya kumportable ako sa kanya. Hindi ko nga rin alam sa sarili ko kung bakit ang gaan ng loob ko sa batang ito. Believe it or not, I was the one who asked permission from his parents that we'll borrow him for awhile. Nakasalubong kasi namin sila kaninang umaga habang naglalakad-alakad kami sa labas ni Gail. And then there, si Axel na mismo ang ayaw humiwalay sa katawan ko kaya ipinaalam ko muna siya sa parents niya.

"Minsan talaga naiisip ko na ang unfair mo." Sabi ko sa kanya habang nakatingin kay Axel. "Tita Gail is unfair, isn't she? She promised me that she'll help me remember things but why isn't she helping me now, Axel?"
