His Fake Fiancee (Completed)

KABANATA 17

XVII.

"Lola, what are you doing here?" Sabi ni Sir Heath. Wala pa yata itong balak umalis sa harap ko kaya ako na ang umalis at inayos ang suot.

Nakakaloka talaga!

"Dios mio, Heath! Do you have in your vocabulary the word 'privacy'? Apo naman."

Napailing ako. Grabe, hindi ko inaasahan na ganun ang sasabihin ni Lola-Madam sa amin. Nakakahiya na nga, e! Pero.. may point si Lola-Madam.

"Have you heard the word 'knock', La?" Sir Heath chuckled. Lumapit siya sa Lola niya ang nag-mano. "What brought you here?"

Agad din akong sumunod at bumati kay Lola-Madam na nasa sahig ang tingin. Nakakahiya sa kaniya!

"Hello, Hija. How are you? Is Heath taking good care of you?"

"Y-yes po," sagot ko at ngumiti. Bahagya akong pumunta sa likuran ni Sir Heath and then in slip moment, he landed his right arm to my shoulder. Mabuti na lang mabilis ako maka-gets!

"Pumunta ako, Hijo, because I've heard from your Uncle's the flashing news roaring about your engagement!" Sabi ng Lola niya kaya medyo napa-stiff ako.

"What about it, La?" Si Sir Heath. Umupo kami sa sofa habang nasa harap namin si Lola Madam at kami naman ni Sir Heath ay magkatabi. "I can handle that."

"Bakit tila mga gulat na gulat sila tungkol sa magaganap na kasal ninyo?"

"Why? Does it bother you, La?"

"Of course, it is! My amigas were asking me kung bakit biglaan daw at parang gulat ang media nang malamang may mapapapangasawa kana!"

I suddenly look worried to Sir Heath. Oo nga, nakakapag-taka ngang ang sikat na business man na 'to ay biglang ikakasal na. Baka mabuko na agad 'to at mawalan ako ng trabaho!

"La, I told you already. We kept it private because I don't want any intruder to our relationship and the plan was to shock them to our engagement," matapos ay tumingin sa akin si Sir Heath. "We want it that way, La."

Nakakakaba naman pala 'to.

Parang mahihirapan kami kung paano namin ititigil ang magiging kasal.

"Fine at kailan ba ang napag-usapan niyong kasal?"

"We haven't thought of that, right, love?" Sabi ni Sir Heath! Shit! Ba't mo pa 'ko dinadamay d'yan!

"Yes po. Hindi pa naman po namin napapag-usapan since we're both busy po–"

"What? Hija, the wedding should be done a month from now! Hindi na dapat pinapatagal 'yan!" Pagpuputol ni Lola Madam sa akin at para naman akong nabulunan sa sinabi niya!

Gosh! 1 month? E, sa 1 month na 'yun dapat ii-off na namin ang engagement!

"I don't wanna pressure her, hindi naman ako nagmamadali."

"Heath, hindi kana bumabata! Baka magbago pa ang desisyon niyan sa iyo ni Syd!"

"I'm sure she won't, La," pag-debate ni Sir Heath sa Lola niya. Ayoko na lang magsalita since baka may masabi akong hindi dapat! "La, I'm sorry but can we just stay slower? I don't want anybody taking my marriage as a race. I'm not marrying in a hurry, we both know our responsibilities."

After ng ilang oras na pag-sermon sa amin ng Lola ni Sir Heath ay nauwi kami sa isang Italian Restaurant para kumain, while eating, his grandmother placed an invitation to the side of our table.

"Heath, this is an invitation from your Uncle Jordan. Wedding anniversarry nila ng Auntie Shaznae mo, they sent it to me since I had a chance to meet them yesterday," sabi ni Lola Madam. "This is tonight already. Celebration is around our family and closest friends."
