Ultimate Crush

Chapter 13

John Mark's POV

"Wait! Married?"

"O-oh" Bigla na akong nagising sa reyalidad. Binatukan ko ang sarili ko. What am i thinking saying this things to her? Narinig ko naman na tumawa sya ng konti at lumapit ang mukha nya

"Do you like me?" A single word already makes my heart sounding that its gonna explode. I can't even breath properly while i just bite my lower lips.

"I guess you like me, your blushing" Tumawa ulit ito pero tumititig lang ako sa kanya. Im thinking the opposite way. From the way she act. I also guess that she doesn't like me back.

"Guess, you didn't feel the same"

"Silly, i also feel the same" Para na ko ngayong istatwa na bagong gawa palang. Looking at her small eyes while she's smiling so widely to me. How can that be possible. Oh wait, seeing her cheeks now. Is she blushing?

"Yeah, lets get married" Bigla namang gumalaw sya at nilagay ang ulo nya sa dibdib ko habang alam kong naririnig nya ang t***k ng puso ko. s**t. Makisama sana ang puso ko na wag masyadong tumibok. I look at the glowing moon who's now shining at us and the stars that is as many as it seems. I look at my wrist watch and see the time.

"7:30"

"Hmm?"

"I wanna stop the time now, 7:30" We stayed like that for a couple of minutes and i hear her tummy grumbles. Tumawa naman ako

"Sorry"

"No, its cute. Lets buy something" Tumayo na kami. Pagkabili namin ng pagkain, napagisipan namin na bumalik muna sa Daddy nya at sabihin ang tungkol sa kasal. Im getting more nervous now, how can i recently said a proposal? Nasan na yung katorpehan ko?

"What are we gonna say to Dad?" Sabi nya habang nakatutok naman ang mata ko sa kamay namin na magkahawak. Dapat t***k ng t***k ang puso ko ngayon pero komportable ako. Nag-isip naman ako sa sinabi nya

"How about being presentable?"

"Like changing looks?"

"That can happen too" Mukhang may nag pop-up naman sa kanya dahil hinila nya ko at tumakbo pa sya sa kung saan

"Lets go shopping. Stay there" Like a humble dog, i stay here and stare at her being busy picking up clothes to wear on me. It suddenly reminds me of the day when we get to see a movie. She picks a horror movie which i hate and im anxious of what she's picking now.

"A business suit?" Tumango tango naman sya habang inoobserbahan ko ang suot na binigay nya

"Yeah. Like you suggest. Be presentable" Mukhang naread naman nya ang mukha ko na ayoko nito kaya napatawa sya

"I think its a no then" Sabi nya at kinuha ang damit sakin. Pumili ulit sya ng iba

"How about this?" Tinaklob ko nang konti ang mata ko

"I will look like michael jackson here"

"At least, you look like a celebrity" She said and giggled. I look at the pair of shades with a glittery thick blazer and also a glittery pants that shines into my eyes. Iniba ko ang tingin ko para di ako masilaw

"How about going with a jacket and denim jeans?"

"Okay!" Sabi nya at bumalik na sya sa pagpili. I sigh intensely while looking at her face being serious at all of this

"Nice clothes" Komento nya nung nakapalit na ako at nabayaran na ang damit. I look okay here kasi parang style ko nga toh. She picked a nice one.

"A nice haircut is what you need" Pinasok naman nya ko sa isang barber shop.

"Iha!! Nandito ka na ulit! Ano yan boyfriend mo?!" Sabi ng bakla na tinutukoy ako at tumawa naman si Raven

"Nope, soon to be husband" I smiled at her. Halata sa gulat ang mukha ng bakla at naging tease face na agad ito, nagchikahan naman sila. Just by thinking of her being my wife makes me crazy now. Other couples live together right? Imagine, the two of us sleeping together, seeing her in the morning, backhugging her while she cooks and doing the dishes together. Agad akong nakaramdam ng kilig.

"Upo ka na Iho at gugupitan na kita" Umupo naman ako at huminga ng malalim. Napagusapan na ata nila ang magiging gupit ko. I don't have worries cause i trust Raven completely. Sinimulan naman akong gupitan

Mukhang nakita ko na agad ang pagbabago ko. Madaming nahulog na buhok sakin kanina nung ginugupitan at nakailang spray din yung bakla

"Your looks are changing" Komento ni Raven at tumayo na ako ng upuan

"Mas bagay sa kanya ang ganito beh, mas maliit ang mukha nya" Pagkatingin ko sa salamin, si Joshmar agad ang naisip ko. Mas naging kamukha ko na sya. Is this even me? I also look kinda chubby when i wear glasses but seeing how i look hot in the mirror...

"Here" Raven bought me contact lenses on the way here. I wear it even if its painful

"Woah" I look so damn different. Kinulbit naman ako ng bakla habang may hawak ng cellphone

"Number"

"Huh?"

"Wag mo na kong bayaran at ibigay mo nalang sakin ang number mo" Agad namang hinawakan ni Raven ang kamay ng bakla at nilayo sya sakin

"I'll pay you double, wag mo lang sya itext"

"Jelly ka ghourl?!" Cute. I can hear it. Narinig kong tumunog ang cellphone ko at yun nga si Joshmar na natawag. When i get back there and Kuya sees me. He can now identify kung ano samin ang magkaparehas. We are twins and people questioned why are we not look-alike. I guess changing looks have its meaning too

[Nasan ka?! Nawawala ka nanaman?!] Halata na ang pagaalala nya sa boses.

"Nasa mall lang kami Kuya"

[Kapag daw hindi mo pa naibalik si Raven dito. Wala na daw sa company si Mom and Dad. John Mark, don't get back here]

"There gonna be sad, babalik na kami" Inend ko na ang call at tinawag ko na si Raven

"Why?"

"Balik na daw tayo" Hinawakan ko na ulit ang kamay nya at mukhang nabasa naman nya ang eksperesyon kong kinakabahan

"Don't be nervous, my dad is good guy"

"Galit na sya, hinahanap ka na nya"

"He wouldn't be mad. Although he's not my real father" Nagsimula na kaming maglakad at nasa harapan na kami ng restaurant. Nakita na kami ng tatay ni Raven at tumakbo agad ito sa kanya at niyakap ang anak nya

"Your here now! Your safe!" Sabi nito at kita sa kanya na niyakap pa nito ng mahigpit si Raven

"Hindi nga bumalik si ugok" Komento ni John Mark na parang may hinahanap

"Thank you for bringing her back safely" Sabi ng nanay ko na parang hindi nya ko kilala. Wait, did i change that much?

"Name your price son? Anong gusto mo?"

"Dad, hindi mo ba sya nakikilala!?" Inis na sabi ni Raven at tinitigan naman nila ako

"f**k, John Mark?" Mukhang nakilala na ko ni Kuya dahil nagmura pa ito

"Watch your words son" Sabi pa ni Mama at bumalik na ulit sya sa pagtingin sakin

"What happened to you?!" Komento ni Mom na tinitingnan ang buong sulok ng mukha ko

"Anong ginawa mo sa kanya?" Ani Dad na nakatingin kay Raven

"Don't talk to my daughter like that!"

"I made this decision, i cut my hair" Singit ko sa matatanda. Baka mag-away pa sila

"Woah, you look like me!" Sabi pa ni Joshmar na ikinatawa ko

"Magsusuntukan pa tayo bago makapuntang barber shop"

"It do feels fresh" Sabi ko at inakbayan ko si Kuya. Halos maiyak na si Mama dahil nakita na nya kaming mukhang magkapatid na. Dad also take a picture of us

"Dad, you said, name it and you'll said yes in everything right? Tanda mo pa yun" Ani Raven at tumango naman ang tatay nya

"Then..." Lumapit sakin si Raven at inentertwined ang kamay namin

"I wanna marry him, as soon as possible" Halata sa gulat ang magulang namin at nakapoker face lang ang daddy nya na pinagtaka ko. Whats with him? Is he not gonna aprove it?
