So Close

L

Pinaupo ni MG si Jema sa tabi ni Kyla. Samantalang umupo naman si Deanna sa tabi ni Maddie na nasa mismong harap ng kung nasaan si Jema.

Nagkatinginan sila so they exchanged smiles.

Nang complete na sila ay nag announce na yung friend din ni Aly at host ng party.

"Okay guys, spin the bottle para malaman natin kung sinong pair ang sasalang sa drinking game. Tapos rock, paper, and scissors, kung sino talo siya yung tatanungin based sa questions na mangagaling sa deck. Plus iinom din kung sino ang matatalo per round - total of 5 rounds per pair."

Tumango naman ang mga participants bago nagstart ang spin the bottle to find out who's the first pair.

Nauna si Aly then kay MG tumapat ang bottle.

"This is going to be a good one. At least mangyayari ito bago ang big day!" Comment ng host.

Aly won kaya siya ang magdradraw ng card for the first question kay MG. 

"What is your message to the future wife?" Aly asked.

MG chuckled, "Ang dali ahhh, pero sige na nga..."

"You know how much I love you and that all I want is to see you happy. I know that Keif will take good care of you so I think, I really don't have to worry about it. Married life is not easy, like what older people would tell us. Always remember to go back to the very reason why you both choose to be together. Basta, never forget that we, your friends will always be there for you and your future husband." MG said before she took a shot.

Everyone clapped as they hugged each other.

MG asked the second question, "Minahal mo ba ako?"

Medyo natigilan ang lahat. Nag-aabang sa isasagot ng bride-to-be.

Uminom muna si Aly before she answered yes.

No one dared to ask any follow-up questions kaya nagpatuloy sila.

MG won the next round, so she asked the next question, "Kung walang iba, naging tayo kaya?"

"Ahm, you don't have to answer if you're not comfortable," Biglang bawi ni MG.

"Siguro..." Matipid na sagot ni Aly and took another shot.

Nakabawi naman ito to ask the fourth question, "Kaya mo ba akong ipaglaban?"

"Oo, I did! Pero ikaw yung ayaw ehh..." Sagot ni MG at uminom uli ng isang shot.

Awkward silence.

Si MG naman ang magtatanong ng huling question, "freestyle...".

"Ano yun?" Tanong ni Aly.

"It says here kahit anong question..." MG replied.

"Okay alam ko na.... Bakit hindi ako?" MG asked and sumeroso ito.

Natigilan si Aly bago uminom tsaka ito nagsalita.

"I wanted to choose you, MG... But I can't because of hindi kita kaya ipaglaban. My family won't approve of it and I can't disappoint them. Alam mo yan..." Aly said na medyo napaluha.

"I know... I'm sorry..." MG said at yinakap si Aly.

"Oh, next naman," Biglang bawi nung host at hinayaang umalis sina MG at Aly. Maybe they need to talk about a few things. At least they can before the wedding day.

Inispin ng host ang bottle at huminto ito kay Jema. Kaya hinila agad ito ni Kyla papunta sa hot seat habang pinaikot uli ni Maddie ang bote, it landed to Deanna's direction.
