Naligo kaagad ako pagkaalis niya. Mabagal ako kumilos and an hour won't work for me if I do my usual routine.
"Ang bagal mo." He said when I finally get out of my cottage.
Sorry ha? Babae kasi ako at madami kong arte sa katawan at mukha! Inirapan ko siya at sumakay na sa kotse. Akala ko may driver pero siya ang umupo sa driver's seat.
"We're here." He said.
I opened the car door and walk towards the mall. Naramdaman ko ang pag sunod niya at nung maabutan niya ako, sinabayan niya ako mag lakad.
"Choose dress for the beach wedding and also... fix your hair. Use my card. Sa iba ako pupunta kaya maghiwalay muna tayo."
"Matagal naman tayong naghihiwalay eh." I whispered.
He looked at me confusedly. I pouted and snatched the card from his hand. Nauna akong umalis dahil ayoko na siya makasama. He's annoying!
"Hello miss, Anong style po ang gusto niyo?"The girl asked when I sat on one of their parlor chair.
"I want my hair with big curls, mermaid type sana." I said.
My hair is white blonde ever since I came back to the Belvoir. I don't know some magic maybe affected my hair or whatever.
"At... gusto ko sana ng light brown hair."
"Consider it done, madam."
I want to look like a normal person. I mean I am normal pero gusto ko natural looking ang hair ko. I fall asleep as they fix my hair. Nagigising lang ako kapag babanlawan na ang buhok.
"Ganda!" Puri ng mga staffs.
I opened my eyes and looked into the mirror. Wow. Sa sobrang tagal kong naging blonde nakalimutan ko na ang itsura ko na brown ang buhok. It looks good.
Mas bagay ito sa'kin. I smiled and stood up. Ako na ang mag aayos ng make up ko.
I gave the person who fixed my hair a big tip. May dala naman akong pera, pero ang pinangbayad ko para sa pagpapaayos ng buhok ko ay ang card ni Troy.
"Ang ganda niyo po! Thank you and come again!"
"Hindi po ba kayo artista? Baka sa ibang bansa?"The girl at the front desk asked.
"Hindi po."I chuckled.
I bought some make-ups here in my bag. Mag make up na kaya ako? Baka dumeretso na kami sa beach wedding.
I bought a dress from a famous boutique. It's a white deep v-neck and spaghetti strap flowy dress. Pumili na din ako ng shoes na mag ma-match.
This looks a bit revealing pero it's a beach wedding. Dapat parang nasa beach ka talaga. Anyway, it looks good on me kaya ok na din. I let my hair down since they already did big wave curls.
It's already 2:00pm?! Grabe? I wonder what Troy's doing? Sobrang tagal ko sa mall and I don't think he would spent that long time to shop.
I went to the parking lot since doon kami last nag hiwalay. I texted him na nandito na ako.
The car is still here so it means nandito pa siya. Sumandal ako at tinitigan ang cellphone ko. I'm waiting for him to reply beside his car dahil medyo mahangin din dito.
Nakalimutan kong bumili pang cover ng katawan. Ayoko na bumalik sa loob dahil baka biglang dumating si Troy dito. Knowing him, he won't reply to my texts.
Napatalon ako sa gulat nung may sumipol sa likuran ko. I looked at the guys who are staring at me. They look young and it seems like they're a group of friends.
Tinaasan ko sila ng kilay at binalingan ulit ang cellphone ko.
"Ang taray pre," Bulong ng isa.
They have the face, but I don't think they're nice. They look like a bad spoiled kids.
"Miss, can I get your number?" The guy in front asked.
"I don't give my number to strangers."
Tumawa sila pero yung mukha nung nag tanong ay inis na inis.
"Okay then hmm... may I at least know your name?" He said and put his phone on his pocket.
"Her name is back off."
Nilingon ko si Troy na ngayon ay nasa tabi ko na. He gently pull me to get me behind him. He looks... hot! Oh my God! His wearing a long sleeves polo with 4 or 5 buttons open.
"Sino ka naman?" Ramdam ko ang inis sa pananalita ng lalaki.
"No, Who are you?" Sabi ni Troy.
"Ang yabang nito ah!" The guy pushed him and punched him on his face.
Napaatras ako at napahawak sa bibig. Umigting ang panga ni Troy at hinawakan yung lalaki. Sinuntok niya 'to ng sobrang lakas.
I immediately hold into his arms and tried to stop him, but I can't. He's strong. Pati yung mga kasama nung lalaki ay tinulungan akong awatin si Troy.
"Troy please..." I said with my weak.
This makes me weak. We're hurting a human here. Nilingon niya ako at padabog na binitawan ang kwelyo nung lalaki. The guy catched him and ran carrying the man.
"Did they touched you?!" Inis niyang tanong. He's trying to low it down, but he's too angry.
"No they didn't."
"Anong ginawa nila sa'yo? What did they said?"
"Well They just asked for my number and my name. Hindi mo na dapat sila sinaktan, they look young!"
Totoo naman. A single punch won't hurt him. For sure her received much painful attacks.
"And you gave it?" Kunot noo niyang tanong.
Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. I can see the Dane I met years ago. Nakakamiss lang.
"Why are you laughing? May nakakatawa ba?" I saw him pouted a bit.
Oh my God! Dane's finally going out of the shell! Ngumiti ako. Although, He still don't remember what happened years ago. he still don't remember me. At least I can witness to see the attitude and the man I met years ago.
"I just remembered someone,"
"Who?"
Dane.
Hindi ko siya sinagot at nginitian lang siya. Pumasok na ako sa loob ng sasakyan at tumingin sa bintana.
The wound on his face healed so fast. It means he really is Dane. Ang problema... he doesn't know me.
"The wedding ceremony will start at exactly 5pm. Are you gonna come with me or may kukunin ka pa sa cottage mo?" He asked.
"I'll come with you. Can I leave this on your car though?"
He nodded so I left my bag on his car. Malayo pa kami sa mismong place pero tanaw ko na ang mga decorations. Wow. If I'll be given the chance to get married again, gusto ko dito din. I almost got married.
And the guy I was about to marry is the guy beside me.
