Chapter 12: Getting Married
I'M HERE at the fine dining restaurant Monica and I used to go to. Paboritong lugar namin 'to. Right now, kasama ko siya. I really need to talk to her. I want to be honest.
Sa ngayon, magkakasama sina Jewel, ang mga nanay namin at si Nica. Nagpunta raw sila sa isang boutique kung saan makakapili si Jewel ng wedding dress. Not that I care. I mean, bahala sila. Sila na rin nga ang pumili ng suit na isusuot ko para sa kasal namin. Hinayaan ko na lang sila sa gusto nila.
Hindi ako sumama sa lakad nila ngayon dahil may kailangan akong gawin. Hindi rin naman ako talagang sumasama sa kanila. But this time, I have a reason. I need to talk to Monica.
"Babe, what do you want to eat?" she asked me. "Babe?" tawag niyang muli sa'kin.
"Huh? Uhh... The usual." I forced a smile.
I really need to tell her the truth. Kailangan na niyang malaman. Ilang linggo na rin ang lumipas simula nang planuhin ang kasal. Kailangan ko na talagang sabihin kay Monica.
"You're spacing out again," she grabbed my right hand and held it. "You said you want to talk. What is it? Hmm... Is it about your gift?" nakangiting tanong niya.
"Huh? What gift?"
Gift? Birthday ko ba?
"Babe! Ano ka ba naman?" she laughed. "Kakatapos lang ng graduation mo, 'di ba? A few weeks ago, remember? Nauna ang graduation namin sa inyo. Wala akong regalo sa'yo. Ang sabi mo, bumawi na lang ako next time. So..."
"Ah... No. It's not about that."
"Then what is it? Akala ko pa naman ay gusto mong mag-out of town tayo," she giggled.
Huminga ako ng malalim. "Monica, I..." Hindi ko natuloy ang sasabihin ko dahil may biglang nag-text. "Excuse me for a while."
