I wear a simple navy blue dress with baby pink doll shoes. Pagdating namin sa bahay nila charles iniwan nya agad ako.
"Mommy saan ko po ilalagay itong desserts?"
"Ilapag mo nalang dyan anak" turo ni mommy sahara sa tabi ng mga prutas.
"Needs some help?" Kuya sam looked at me from head to toe. Nahiya ako sa ginawa nya kaya napakamot ako ng batok.
"Di na po kuya sam. Okay na patapos na din naman kami mag ayos ni mommy"
I couldn't look at him. Ewan ko bigla nalang akong nahiyang humarap sakanya.
"You look beautiful kendra" Pakiramdam ko pulang pula ang mukha ko ngayon.
"Si kuya sam naman!" Kunwariy natatawang sambit ko.
"Are you okay? Hindi kana ba sinasaktan ni charles?" Napalingon ako sa may paligid dahil baka may maka rinig sakanya.
"Someone might here you kuya sam"
He tap my head and gave me his sweetest smile. Kung hindi ko lang kilala si kuya sam malamang nahulog na din ang loob ko sakanya.
Like paul, he's kind, gentle man and handsome. Namiss ko bigla si paul, antagal na naming di nagkikita.
"I cant imagine you getting beatin up"
I smile. "Thank you for your concern kuya sam. Di na ako masasaktan ni charles. Look ang laki ng muscles ko" tinaas ko ang kamay ko para makita nya ang muscles na sinasabi ko.
He laugh really hard "Where?"
I pout my lips "But seriously, thank you so much kuya sam because you always think about me. Pero ayoko po na nag aaway kayo ni charles. You're more than a bestfriend. Para na kayong magkapatid"
Since magkaibigan ang parents nila simula bata palang sila ay magkasama na sila. Kaya I cant imagine myself ruining this kind of friendship they have.
"I couldn't get mad at him cause I know him very well since we were young but he shouldn't hurt you kendra. You know what the best gift you can give to yourself is freedom from toxicity, from an unsure love, and from a confused person. Know your worth. You are a gem, a rare one and I know you deserve the best"
I just looked at him. How can you be so caring about me? Your words really affect me, I want to hug him right now.
"Can I borrow my wife for awhile?" Sabay kaming napalingon kay charles. Naka bihis na din ito.
Your wife? Bakit kapag nasa harapan tayo ni kuya sam lagi mong sinasabi yan?
I heard kuya sam smirked "Sure"
Bago sya tumalikod saamin lumingon muna ito saakin at he tap my head again and again. "See you later"
"Kung makiki pag landian ka lang naman dito hindi na sana kita sinama" I didn't mind what he said. Nginitian ko lang sya.
"Dont mind me charles. Gawin mo lang ang gusto mo, just think of me as a wind" at nilagpasan sya.
Ayokong masira ang gabing ito dahil lang sakanya. If I need to avoid him gagawin ko wag lang kaming gumawa ng eskandalo dito dahil nakakahiya.
"Kendra!" I saw angela and khloee waving at me, nakaupo sila sa tabi ng mga parents nila.
"Goodevening po" I bow down my head and kiss tita haru, tita wina and tita zayne in their cheeks.
"Gumaganda ka lalo iha" puri saakin ni tita haru na sinuklian ko naman ng isang ngiti.
"Kumusta ang buhay may asawa?" biglang tanong ni tito caleb.
Napakamot ako ng batok "Okay lang po"
"Mommy! Pahiram muna kay kendra" hinatak ako ni khloee at lumipat kami sa isang table malayo sa mga magulang nila.
"Hi. Ang ganda nyo naman" I plainly said, because they really look stunning tonight.
"Nambola kapa. Maganda naman talaga kami ni angela ah" Kholee answered while rolling her eyes.
I laugh "Oo na"
"Where's charles?"
Nagkibit balikat lang ako dahil hindi ko naman talaga alam kung nasaan sya.
"Si cahlis?" Tanong ko dahil hindi ko sya nakikita.
"Malalate daw"
"Nag chicks muna ang isang yon" naka simangot na sambit ni angela.
"Wala yata si uncle lee?" Angela's father. Biglang lumukot ang mukha ni angela.
"Lagi naman wala si dad" Until now, hindi pa din kilala ni angela kung sino ang mommy nya. I dont know about the whole story narinig ko lang iyon mula kay khloee.
I tap her shoulder "Com'on. Baka may ginagawa lang ang daddy mo. We're here to party ano kaba!" Hindi naman ganon kahirap pangitiin si angela kaya mabilis na nagbago ang aura nito.
"Kain na tayo!" Pagaaya saamin ni khloee na halatang kanina pa gutom na gutom. Kahit kailan talaga laging tyan nya ang pinapairal nya.
"Titooo zeus!" Tinakpan ko ang aking tenga dahil sa naging pag sigaw ni angela. Angela is like a daughter kay daddy zeus dahil nga madalang lang umuwi si uncle lee laging na kila charles si angela.
Lumapit kami kay daddy zeus. "Goodevening po" magalang na bati ko.
"Hi kendra anak. You look beautiful"
"Sya lang?" Angela even pout her lips kaya naka tanggap sya ng mahinang pagbatok mula kay khloee.
"Af course you are all beautiful"
"Hi ladies and gentle men the party will now begin" dahil sa biglang pagsasalita ng mc hindi na kami naka kuha ng pagkain nila angela.
May iilang tao na hindi pamilyar saakin, malamang ay kamag anak ito nila charles. Biglang tumayo si mommy sa harapan
"Hi everyone, thank you for all of you for lending us your special time. I hope you enjoy this night. I would also like to call my daughter, charles wife to offially introduce to all of you, May I call on Quinn Kendra Waye-Jadelania"
"Tayo na" pinagtulakan ako patayo ni angela kaya wala na ako ibang nagawa kundi ang lumapit.
Lahat ng atensyon ng mga tao ay nasa akin ngayon. Nahiya tuloy ako dahil sobrang simple lang ng suot ko ngayon.
"Hi anak" naka ngiting wika ni mommy sahara.
I hug her "Dont be shy" she whispher in my ear. I flash my sweetest smile for everyone.
"And I would also like to call my son Charles Miguel Jadelania"
Charles walk toward us with his serious face. I couldn't look at him. Im afraid na baka mapahiya ko na naman sya sa harap ng maraming tao dahil sa itsura ko ngayon. I felt his presence beside me.
"I prepare this simple party for Kendra and Charles. All of you, kayo lang ang may alam na kasal na silang dalawa and I want to thank you for that. For not telling others about their status." Humarap saamin si mommy and gave us her warm hugs.
"I wish the both of you a long time happiness and love"
Right at this moment, bigla ko nalang naisip na sana totoo lahat, sana mahal ako ni charles. Because I can clearly see happiness through mommy sahara's eyes.
I cried. "Thank you mommy, thank you everyone" That's the only thing na lumabas saaking bibig because Im really grateful and no words can describe it. Sobrang nagpapasalamat ako dahil nasalba ang pinaghirapan nila daddy at mommy.
"Thank you everyone for giving your blessings to us." Sambit ni charles bago nya ako yakapin papalapit sakanya.
"We'll try to live our life to the fullest"
