Unforgotten Love Affair

Chapter 32 Let's Call for Celebration

The warmth of his lips against mine is so intoxicating.  I hold his upper arms for support.  His arms now held my waist and back.  His embraced tightly.  We both shared air of breath from each other.  "I love you baby."  He said as he let go of my lips while still holding me.
"Ahemm!" It's dad! Nanlaki ang mga mata kong nakatingin ngayon Kay Raphael. Nakakahiya.  We're like torridly kissing just now.  My God!
"Raphael awat na.  Baka Maunes na Ang nguso ng princess namin." Biro ni dad sa kanya.  Napanguso na Lang ako.  Si Raphael naman, tawa Lang ng tawa.  I can see an unexplainable happiness in him.
Dad hugged me, "Congratulations princess!  Your are about to marry a good man.  I am happy to let go of you kasi nasa mabuti kang kamay.  Marunong siya tumupad ng usapan eh." He winked at me.  Maloko talaga itong si Dad.  Alam ko na ang usapan nila, Raphael mentioned it to me one time.
"Thank you Dad.  I love you and mom."  I hugged him back.
Niyakap din ako ni mom.  "Congratulations anak! Mag-aasawa na ang baby ko."  Napahikbi si mom.  Kahit kailan emotional talaga siya when it comes to her family.  And I love her because she is simply the best and sweet of all.
"Mom, don't cry.  Andito lang naman ako.  Hindi po ako mawawala."  Niyakap ko sya habang hinagod siya sa likod.
"Don't worry mom, we'll give you grandchildren para maging masaya ka na."  Raphael said while grinning up to his ears.  Tingnan mo to, naki mommy na.  Kani kanina lang ay dinumog siya ng mga pinsan nya. 
Lumapit na rin sila Margie at Joshua, Michael at Daniel.  Darko Miguel is fondly called Daniel in our family.  Heis with a gorgeous woman na balita ko naging girlfriend niya dati.  Umalis ang babae few years ago to take up her masters on fashion design in Paris.  I can see so much love from him to his girl.  Hindi naging maayos ang buhay niya those times na magkahiwalay sila.  Papalit palit ng babae.  Certified womanizer.  Puro fling lang kaya nga nag alala na mommy sa kalagayan niya.  Now that he found his woman again, I think he will not let his chance pass by.  Well, its not my story to tell.
"Congrats Cass.  Raphael alagaan mo ang pinsan ko. Manghihiram ka sa mukha ng aso the moment you hurt her."  Siniko siya nung babae.  She look so gorgeous as she came closer to us with Daniel.
"Sorry hon." No wonder tiklop si Daniel sa kanya.  She is something.  No wonder baliw na baliw ang pinsan ko sa kanya. She is good for him unlike those bitches Daniel used to have.
Napailing na Lang ang babae. "Congratulations to both of you."  She smiled,  wow she is immaculately beautiful. 
"Thank you."  I said in reply while giving back my genuine smile.  I really like her for my cousin.
"Dude, why not introduce her to us?"  Tukso ni Raphael sa kanya.
"Yeah, this is Cassandra, my girlfriend.  Hon, my cousin Sophia and her fiancé Raphael.  This Michael-" he looked at his woman dearly. I smiled at them.
"Hep,  it's Mikaela Daniel."  Putol niya sa sasabihin pa ni Daniel.  Ayaw na ayaw niyang tinatawag na Michael pag kami-kami lang ang magkasama.
"Whatever mike.  Ang gulo mo". Naiinis na sagot ni Daniel.
"By the way, hon, si Margie at Joshua."  He further said.
"Are you sure about Daniel, Cass? Boyfriend mo ba talaga ito?" Niloloko na siya ni Margie, I think Marge is already comfortable with her.
"Ewan ko ba sa lalaking ito.  Excuse me Danny,  di porke't sumama ako sa yo dito eh boyfriend na kita.  Di ka pa nga nanligaw sa akin." Pa irap na sabi ni Cassandra.
"Hon, wag naman dito.  Araw araw naman ako manliligaw sa yo kahit na mag boyfriend na tayo eh". Napakamot sa batok si Daniel.  Tawa kami Ng tawa.  Ang cute niyang tingnan.  Pulang pula na ang mukha niya pati tainga.

The dinner was served.  We ate while everyone almost shared laughter.  Surprisingly, may banda din pala.  Lumapit si Raphael sa mini stage. 
"Ahmm, everyone may I have your attention please.  I would like to ask my fiancée to come up on stage." 
Atubili naman akong naglakad papunta sa kanya.
