One Night Surprise

58

Kauuwi lang ni Jeffer sa bahay galing sa business meeting ng makasalubong niya ang mommy niya bitbit ang isang kahon na puno ng kung anu-anong gamit.
Jeffer kissed his mom on the cheek.
"What's inside the box?" He immediately asked.
"Some sort of things na kailangan na idonate." His mom answered.
"Did you perhaps go to my room mom?" He curiously said.
"Yes Jeffer and I found a box of unused ballet shoes in your room is it for Miu?"
He remembered the ballet shoes he bought for Miu sa sobrang talaga na nakatago ito sa room niya nakalimutan na niyang ibigay. Plano sana ni Jeffer na magpropose  kay Miu gamit ang ballet shoes kung saan doon nakalagay ang singsing hanggang sa umabot sa sitwasyong may nakalaan pa lang fixed marriage kay Jeffer at umabot sa puntong naglaho na parang bola ang mga plano niya.
"Where is it mom? the ballet shoes where is it?"
"I was planning to donate it Jeffer."
"What?!"
"Jeffer you need to let go the things that connects you with Miu."
"Will you just give it back to me mom, that shoes where is it? Mom please!"
Jeffer not wanting to lost that shoes.
Kinuha ng mommy niya ang shoe box sa kahon na bitbit niya tapos binigay kay Jeffer. He immediately open the shoes box checking if it is the ballet shoes he bought nakita niya rin ang maliit na kahon kung saan nakalagay ang singsing.
"Don't plan to give it to her Jeffer." His mom interrupt.
"I will go to my room now mom."
Bago pa makaalis si Jeffer his mom grabbed his arm.
"Jeffer pagkatapos mo magbihis bumaba ka na because I prepared your favorite food." She added.

Pagkatapos ni Jeffer magbihis ay pumunta na ito sa dining table.
"Yara?" Hindi niya alam na darating pala si Yara sa bahay nila and for sure his mom invited her for having a dinner.
"Jeffer." She smile ng makita niya si Jeffer.
"I forgot to tell you son that I invited Yara." His mom said.
His mom would do anything para lang mapalapit si Yara at Jeffer sa isa't-isa.
"Why won't you give your fiance a kiss on the cheek." His mom suggest.
He kissed Yara on the cheek.
"Happy mom?" He said sarcastic.
"Yes, I'm happy for the both of you." His mom smiles.
Yara feels awkward of that sudden kissed on the cheek.
"May I excuse  for a second." Yara interrupt.
"Sure honey." Jeffer mom said.
Yara whispered CR to Jeffer.
Sinundan ni Jeffer si Yara.
"Yara yung banyo nasa right corner." He said and she nod tapos bumalik na si Jeffer sa dining table.
"Soon you will like Yara." His mom grinned.
Jeffer rolled his eyes.
"Why you always put Yara in awkward situation mom." He blurted.
"Why? What did I do?"
"Nevermind."
A minute later bumalik na rin si Yara.
"Yara naayos ko na yung schedule ng pagsusukat ng gown mo and all you need to do Jeffer is samahan si Yara sa dressmaker para masukatan na siya ng gown and also I have a friend a wedding organizer we can call her to plan the wedding." Jeffer's mom excitedly said.
Nagkatinginan sina Yara at Jeffer.
"Are you free tomorrow Yara?"
"Mom you don't need to do this. All I want for you is to relax and take your medication kami na ang bahala ni Yara sa pagpaplano ng kasal namin."
Jeffer's mother is diagnosed of breast cancer. Kahit pa labag sa kalooban ni Jeffer ang gusto ng mommy niya para sa kanya ay wala siyang magagawa dahil nakasalaylay rin sa kasal nila ni Yara ang merging ng company nila at dahil doon di hamak na mas kailangan ni Jeffer si Yara para maging stable ang position nito sa kompanya. Hindi rin lingid sa kaalaman ni Jeffer ang tusong pagnanasa ng pinsan niyang si Justin at ama nito na mapaalis at mapalitan siya sa kompanya kahit pa ang daddy niya ang naghirap at nagsumikap na mapatayo ito.
"Tita wag na po kayo mag-abala tama si Jeffer kaming dalawa na ang bahala magplano sa kasal." She break the tension.
"But you need to go tomorrow para sa pagsusukat ng gown I can't cancel it Yara."
"Yes po tita pupunta po kami ni Jeffer." Sagot ni Yara.

Prey is preparing food for breakfast ng may biglang yumakap sa likuran niya.
"Alam mo ba na matagal ko ng gustong gawin to ang yakapin ka sa likuran habang nagluluto."
She slow smile pero hindi iyon nakikita ni LJ dahil sa nakatalikod ito sa kanya.
"Sa tingin mo ba makakagalaw ako ng maayos?"
He breaks the backhug tapos napaharap si Prey kay LJ.
"How about this can I do this?"
He smack a kiss on Prey's lips.
She didn't expect the kiss but there's something about it kung bakit tila hindi siya nagalit sa pagnakaw ni LJ ng halik sa kanya.
He smiles after he realized he succeed on stealing a kiss on her na hindi ito magagalit sa kanya. After the torrid kissed they shared sa parking lot ng school siguro naman he can spoiled his self sa labi ni Prey.
They manage to make eye contact to each other.
Then they heard the sizzling indicates that Prey's sunny side up egg is burning. Dali-daling kinuha ni LJ ang frying pan then tossed in the sink.
"Ayaw ko na magluto." She complain.
"Prey it's just an egg madami naman tayong eggs sa refrigerator." He smiles like a fool being cloud nine on that kiss.
"Ginugulo mo kasi ako, alam mo ba na maraming mga tao ang nagugutom ngayon LJ." Prey being overreact on the burned fried egg.
"And why are you smiling like a fool?" She added.
"Okay, sorry na." He pout his lips for the second round of kiss but Prey block it with her hand.
"Abusado??! Did I give you a permission to kiss me? Take this!" She give the spatula to LJ.
"Why are you giving me this?"
"Ikaw ang may kasalanan kaya ikaw ang magluto."
"Ano? Pero Prey ayaw ko ng talsik ng mantika seryoso ka ba??"
"Sa tingin mo ba nagbibiro ako."
She put her hand on LJ's head.
"Kaya muna yan." She smiles.
