My Most Stupid Mistake [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

KRISTINE'S POV

"My my! Don't move, Tine," paki-usap ni Ayel sa akin habang mine-make up-an ako.

"K-Kailangan ba talaga niyan?"

"Well, of course! You're about to attend your first ball."

Nakwento ko kasi sa kanyang hindi ko talaga inaattendan 'yung mga ganitong event noong mga nakaraang taon.

"Hindi naman na siguro requirement 'yan. 'Di naman isa-isang titingnan at iche-check ng mga teacher yung mukha namin kung may makeup o wala eh," sagot ko sa kanya.

She flatly looked at me. "I thought you wanted to confess to my cousin."

Agad naman akong nakaramdam ng pagka-init ng pisngi ko. "A-Amin na nga..."

"Then make yourself extra pretty! I want my cousin to drool when he sees you, okay?" Tumango na lang ako at nagtuloy na ulit si Ayel sa pagme-make up sa akin.

Nang kausapin ko kahapon si Ayel about my true feelings for Jairo. Siya na nag-volunteer na ayusan ako para sa ball ngayon. She really wants me for her cousin, and I really am falling for him... or maybe... I already fell hard.

"What's your actual plan?" Ayel asked after finishing my makeup.

"I don't know. Still not sure. Maybe sa garden ng school? I'll take him there and then confess?"

Hindi ko pa talaga naisip o napagplanuhan ang pag-amin ko. Ang sigurado ko lang ay gusto—no wait, scratch that—mahal ko na si Jairo.

I won't care about the love spell anymore. I'll forget that it did happen. I'll keep him and be selfish. Kahit isang beses lang sa buhay ko. Gusto kong ipagdamot si Jairo sa posibleng totoong mamahalin niya. Gusto ko ay akin lang siya. I'll love him with all I can.

Titigil lang ako, kapag sinabi na niyang hindi na niya ako mahal. Even if that's just a thought, it actually pains me.

"Hmm... Okay... I'm pretty sure that whatever happens, he will still like your confession." Tumayo si Ayel para lumapit sa dress na susuotin ko. "I mean he's obviously head over heels in love with you, what could possibly go wrong?"

If the spell wears off... I sighed and slightly shook my head. It won't wear off, don't think like that. Bigla namang pumasok sa isip ko ang mukha ni Jairo habang nakatingin at nakangiti sa akin. 'Di ko rin naiwasang mapangiti. Hay! I really have fallen for him.

"So! Wear this now! And then I'll do some finishing touches." Agad niya akong pinatayo. "Move faster, Tine! We don't have all day!"

Nagmamadali naman akong pumasok sa walk-in closet ni Ayel. Dito raw ako magsuot ng damit kasi may malaki siyang mirror, mas kita ko raw ang magiging itsura ko.

No time to waste! Kailangan ko nang bilisan yung pag-aayos. Magsisimula na ang ball!

Nagmamadali kong sinuot yung dress na binili ni Ayel para sa akin, and of course, it's Versace. I've gotta stop her from buying me expensive things.

"Anytime now, Kristine!" rinig kong sigaw ni Ayel mula sa labas.

"Almost done!" Tiningnan ko yung sarili ko.

Myghad! Red really does look good on me.

Lumabas na ako kesa pumasok si Ayel. Nakita ko naman ang paglaki ng ngiti niya nang makita niya ang buong itsura ko.

"Let's see if my cousin would still let you go. My gosh! I'm such a fairy godmother! Great job, self!"

"U-Umm... Magugustuhan niya kaya?"
