Freesia
I am fidgeting and anxiously checking my Dolce & Gabbana Sofia pink gold watch from time to time. This is Dad's graduation gift for me. Tutal daw ay ayaw ko naman sumang-ayon sa gusto niyang party. He wanted to arrange a party for my engagement with Apollo, too, but I declined.
Kanina pa ako hindi mapakali at para akong inuuod habang naghihintay.
"Freesh, relax." He sighed.
Inabot niya ang kamay ko at hinawakan iyon ng mahigpit. My heart frenzied like usual. It's never getting better. My reaction will always be the same, thumping heart, butterflies in my tummy and volts of electricity in my system. I should get used to it. We're marrying anyway.
He's trying to calm me down as always.
"There's nothing to fear. She likes you."
"I don't think so.." Nakangiwing sagot ko.
Hindi ko pa nakakausap ng masin-sinan ang ina niya para masabing tanggap na niya ako. Although I won't back out with our wedding if she doesn't like me, I still want to get her blessing. She's part of my fianceé's life, a big part of it and I don't want him to loose that piece of him.
A parent's blessing is significant for me. It's like the key for newlyweds to have a harmonious married life. It's somewhat fulfilling to think that both of your parents are there to guide and support whenever you stumble upon a rock in your married life.
Kinikilig pa rin akong isipin na fianceé ko na ang kinaiiritahan ko noong hijacker, robber, artista, etc., his nickname goes a long way. Nakakatawa lang isipin na ang dami kong tawag sa kanya noon.
I really never thought we'll develop a liking for each other especially love. He's an OC, I'm always a mess. He likes silence, I'm too loud. Ngayon ko lang gustong paniwalaan na totoo nga ang kasabihang, "Opposites attract." Because we really did. We started as strangers who's bickering with one another and now we're already here, preparing for our wedding which is happening two months from now.
I asked him why it's so soon but he didn't gave me an answer. Hindi ko na lang pinilit dahil.. wala lang. Siyempre, ako pa ba? Sobrang excited ko na nga na pakasalan siya!
"Didn't you see her in my proposal last week?"
Napanguso ako sa tanong niya kasabay ng pamumula ng aking pisngi. Sino ba naman ang makaka-limot sa romantic na proposal niya?
"Or.. did you forget about it again?" Now, his brow is arched while looking intently at me.
His voice sounded like he's accusing me.
"Uy, grabe ka naman!" Tinapik ko siya at napaingos sa kanya. "Hindi ah! Grabe ka sa akin!"
Aba'y pinagbibintangan ako! Hindi naman kaya ako ganoon ka makakalimutin.
"Good to know that." He said nonchalantly and scooped my ube flavored ice cream. "Why do you like this? It's bad for your teeth."
Reklamo pa siya ng lagay na 'yan ha, eh kahit naman anong kainin ko sinasaluhan niya ako. Kita mo nga panay ang subo. Mamaya siguradong ubos na 'yan. Um-order lang kasi ng kape para sa sarili.
Nandito kami ngayon sa Starbucks. We're waiting for his Mom. That's why I've been feeling so nervous.
Oo nga't nag-congratulate siya sa akin noong nag-propose si Apollo pero hindi pa kami nakakapag-usap ng masinsinan. Badtrip kasi itong mga drama at teleserye's, palagi nilang pino-portray ang mga biyenan na kontrabida, natatakot na tuloy ako! Malay ko ba kung napipilitan lang ang ina ni Apollo na i-congratulate ako? Tapos kakausapin ako ngayon para bayaran at sulatan ng cheque para hiwalayan ang fianceé ko? Shocks, so cliché!

Humor[ Stanford Series #1] [FIN] She tends to forget a lot of things. She often forgets locking her unit. She forgets doing her grocery. She forgets her family's birthday sometimes.. or not just sometimes? That's her, but what's worst was when she didn't...
