26: Proposal
Clark's Point of View
It has been a month since June left the group. The farewell concert for him was well done. But now, Adrian is calling again for a meeting.
"Why?" I ask.
[I am planning to propose to Maricar tomorrow. Help me, please.]
"So, you're finally proposin', huh?"
[Yes, man. I know you are expert in these stuffs, so help me for the preparations.]
"Sure, man."
We met each other for a practice and preparations. And I look forward to this wedding proposal.

Maricar's Point of View
"Pwede ko na bang tanggalin?" tanong ko kay Adrian.
Nakapiring pa rin kasi ako. Eh pinaupo naman na niya ako.
"Not yet, baby."
Gosh. I feel excited. I am anticipating what will happen next.
"You can now." bulong ng isang lalake.
Wait, lalake? Could it be, pinamimigay na niya ako? Oh my god. Hindi ko siya mapapatawad 'pag ginawa niya 'yun.
Binababa ko ang blindfold.
Wow. Just wow.
Nasa isang garden kami. There is a table and a chair in front of me. On the table is a vase with white and blue roses in it.
Nagsimulang tumugtog si Cedric ng gitara. Sumunod naman si Patrick at kumanta.
"When a day is said and done,
In the middle of night and you're fast asleep, his love.
Stay awake looking at your beauty,
Telling himself he's the luckiest man alive."
Itinuloy ni Clark ang kanta.
"Cause so many times he was certain you were gonna walk out of his life.
Why you take such a hold him, girl
When he's still trying to get his act right."
Sumunod naman si June.
"What is the reason, when you really could have any man you want,
He doesn't see, what he has to offer.
He should has been a season, guess you could see he had potential."
At nagsabay-sabay silang tatlo.
"Do you know you're his miracle?"
At eto na. Lumabas mula sa isang heart si Adrian. OMG! Ang pogi niya! Naka-suit siya.
"I'm like a statue, stuck staring right at you,
Got me frozen in my tracks.
So amazed how you take me back,
Each and every time our love collapsed.
Statue, stuck staring right at you,
So when I'm lost for words
Every time I disappoint you,
It's just 'cause I can't believe,
That you're so beautiful. (Stuck like a statue)
Don't wanna lose you, no. (Stuck like a statue)"
Lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan nang kamay ko saka ako marahang hinila patayo. Si Seven ang sumunod na kumanta.
"Ask himself why are you even with him
Aftet all the shit he put you through!
Why did you make it hard so with him
It's like you're living in an igloo
But baby your love is so warm it makes his shield melt down,
And every time you're both at war you make him come around."
Nagsimula akong isayaw ni Adrian. Nagtama ang mata namin at nginitian niya ako. I smiled back. Habang kumakanta sila, tinawag ako ni Adrian. I hummed my reply.
Bigla na lang siyang lumuhod sa harap ko. Duon pa lang, napaiyak na ako sa saya. Oh my.
"Are you willing to be my other half for eternity?"
Nanlaki ang mata ko pero agad din itong nag-soften kasabay ng mga luha ko.
"Yes, Adrian." sagot ko.
Tumayo siya at inisuot ang singsing na kanina pa nakatago sa kamay niya. Yinakap niya ako saka hinalikan sa noo.
"I love you."

Leah's Point of View
"Oh my gosh! Congrats!" pagbati ko sa kanila.
"Thank you."
Umupo ako sa table kasama sila Marie.
"Kamusta ka pala, Leah?" tanong ni Rhianne.
I flashed a grin. "I'm okay. But, anyway. Engaged ako sa isang tao, tama?" sambit ko.
"O-Oo. Bakit?" sagot ni Sam.
"Well, I think I'm in love someone else."
Mistulang nabilaukan sila. "HA?!?!" sabay-sabay nilang sabi. "WITH WHO?!"
"Ang OA niyo talaga mag-react kahit kelan. But anyway, since napagkakatiwalaan naman kayo, si Clark ang mahal ko. At mahal rin niya ako." pagyayabang ko pa.
Kumalma naman sila. "Okay lang pala, bes. Push mo 'yan."
Hahahaha. Ang supportive talaga nila.
Lumapit sa amin si Clark.
"Girls, hiramin ko muna si Leah, pwede?" tanong niya.
"Sige lang, Clark. Kahit 'wag mo na siyang ibalik!"
I giggled and he smiled. Tumayo na ako sa upuan ko at naglakad na kami ni Clark.
Napadpad kami sa isang secluded place sa garden din na pinagdausan ng marriage proposal ni Adrian kay Maricar. Umupo kami sa bench.
"Do you remember him already?"
I snickered. "Pano ko siya maaalala kung hindi siya nagpapakita sa akin? Ni isang message nga hindi ako nakatanggap mula sa kanya eh."
"Pano kapag mali pala ang iniisip mong 'yan?"
Tinignan ko siya. Nakatingin din siya sa akin ngunit hindi ko mabasa ang expression niya. Bigla na kang siyang ngumiti.
"Tara sa amusement park bukas?"
Alam kong gusto niyang ibahin ang usapan. Baka para na rin sa sake ko.
Nginitian ko siya pabalik saka tumango.
"Saang amusement park?" nakangiti kong tanong.
"Saan mo ba gusto?"
"Kahit saan basta't kasama kita, okay na."
He grinned and pinched my cheeks. "I love you." he whispered as he pulled me into a hug.
"I love you too, Clark Sanford."
