And Then He Cheated

15

Days have gone so fast and today is the day Nathan and I been waiting. His parents arrived last night and they wanted to see me. Honestly, I've met some of my exe's parents but this is different. Totally different. Nathan and I are getting serious about our relationship.

He texted me earlier that he would just fetch me later. His parents are conducting an intimate dinner for the four of us. Kinakabahan ako pero sinabihan naman ako nila Dianne na magrelax lang. She even insisted to me that she'll choose my dress for tonight. Pumayag na ako kasi wala din akong maisip na pwedeng maisuot. I wanted to look presentable in front of his parents. I've read some articles from the internet about his parents and all of them are good. It only showed how kind his parents are. May mga charity events sila sa Africa at America. They're already in talks with the second branch of their business here in the Philippines.

Alas singko palang ay dumating na si Dianne. Bumaba ako para salubungin siya. I saw her carrying two paper bags. When I saw the brands, I can't help but to roll my eyes. Sinabi ko na kasi sakanyang may mga damit pa akong hindi pa nasusuot pero dahil matigas ang ulo niya ay gumastos pa talaga siya para dito.

"Oops, before you talk. Let me just inform you that these pieces came from my mom's shop"

Ibubuka ko palang yung bibig ko para pagalitan siya ay naunahan na naman niya ako. Lumapit ako sakanya at mahina siyang hinampas sa braso.

"Nakakahiya kay tita! I already told you, I still have some in my closet" she rolled her eyes.

"Tsk, it's no big deal. Tsaka I told her that you're gonna meet your boyfriend's parents. She even personally picked it"

"Whatever, yeah keep on spoiling me" hinila ko siya papasok ng bahay habang mahina siyang tumatawa.

"Lola! Gosh, I miss you po" kumawala sa hawak ko si Dianne at parang nagkukumahog na lumapit kay Lola na nakaupo sa rocking chair niya.

"Diyos mio Dianne, mabuti at nakadalaw ka ngayon. Namiss din kita" ngumiti si Lola.

"Oo naman po, supportive kaya ako dito kay Aviane La. Paano ba naman meet the parents na e" humagikhik silang dalawa.

"Oo nga, seryoso silang dalawa sa isa't isa" tumingin saakin si Lola at marahan akong nginitian.

"La, sa taas lang kami ah? Just call Ate Grace if you need anything" I kissed her forehead before dragging Dianne.

Nung makapasok kami sa kuwarto ko ay agad niyang linatag yung tatlong magagandang dress sa kama ko. Just like what Dianne said earlier Tita Dina is a fashion designer, she has the most beautiful pieces every season. Kaya nga nahihiya ako kapag binibigyan niya kami ni Rosie ng mga damit na kasali sa mga limited edition lang. She's a nice and amazing woman!

"Mom thought Red and White would be nice, and it compliments your complexion so much" she explained.

Nanatili akong nakatingin sa tatlong dress sa kama ko. The red one is a silky dress with a plunging neckline. Yung dalawang puti naman ay parehong bodycon knitted dress. The other one's longsleeve while the other one is a tube top.

"What do you think?"

"I like the red one most" she said. Tumango ako. That's the dress I've been eyeing.

"Isn't it shows too much skin? Will they like that?" kumunot ang noo ko.

"Nah, hindi naman masyadong plunging tsaka mahaba naman yan. Above the knee" she nodded her head.

"Okay,"

"Come here, let's curl your hair" agad akong sumunod sakanya sa vanity mirror ko.

While she's doing her thing, I texted Nathan that I'm already preparing. Agad din naman siyang nagpadala ng text na susunduin daw niya ako mamayang alas siyete. Dianne parted my hair not like the usual. Palaging sa gitna ng buhok ko kasi pinaparte yung buhok ko ngayon naman ay sa gilid. I don't know but what she did gave me different look. She even made my make up. We aimed for a natural look and gladly we achieved it. Para ngang wala siyang linagay sa mukha ko.
