Chapter 49

Bea Bianca POV’S

Nang tinawag ang number ko ay agad akong nag-step. Ngumiti ako ng malapad.

“And, Our top 3 is Candidate Number…”Pabitin ng MC, kanina pa ako napapagod kakatayo dito sarap niyang sakalin.

“1! 1!”

“6! 6!

“8! 8!”

Sigawan ng lahat. Mawalan sana kayo ng boses, ingay.

“Candidate No. 3, 6 and 8!”

“Woah! Go, Bea!”

“Bea For The Win, Uwu!”Sigaw ni Kuya at Sevirous. Uwu pa nga pft!

“Nice one!!”

“So, Last round of pageant! Our second runner up will be…”Ayan na naman siya sa pabitin niya. “Our second runner up is No. 6!”Sigaw ng MC kaya naman nag-lakad na ‘yong si No. 6 saka ngumiti sa lahat. Nagpalakpakan at sigawan ang lahat. Nilagyan na siya ng sash, binigyan ng bulaklak at trophy. Nilagyan din siya ng munting korona.

“Ang babanggitin kong pangalan ay iyon ang magiging BINIBINING CLYTON ANDERSON.”Usal ng MC at binigyan diin ang huling sinabi at nag-simula na ulit silang mag sigawan. “And, Our Binibining Clyton for this year is.. Candidate No… Candidate No. 8!”Masayang sigaw ng MC.

Niyakap ako ni Candidate No. 3 at nagpasalamat sa’kin. Nginitian ko siya at niyakap din pabalik.

“Thanks! Pa autograph ako mamaya, Miss Bea. Idol po kita hehe.”Sabi niya at mahinang tumawa.

“Okay, Sure. Thanks din!”I said sincerely.

Lumapit sa’kin ang lahat ng staff ng pageant.

“Congratulations, Miss Alonzo!”They said while smiling at me.

“Thank you!”I shouted happily.

Nilagay na nila ang crown sa ulo ko saka nilagyan na din nila ako ng sash at binigay sa’kin ang trophy.

“Now, It’s all welcome Mr. Sevirous Ace Anderson!”The MC said while smiling.

Tumayo si Sevirous sa upuan niya at dahan dahan na umakyat dito sa stage. Nakangiti siya habang nakatingin sa akin. The MC approached Sevirous and handed over the mic. Nagsimula ng tumugtog ang piano.

[Marry Me By: Jason Derulo]

Uhh-uhh-uhh, ohh-yeah, hmmm.

Hundred and five is the number that comes to my head.

When I think of all the years I wanna be with you.

Wake up every morning with you in my bed.

That’s precisely what I plan to do.

Sevirous sang while smiling genuinely and I suddenly felt nervous and happy. Hindi ko maipaliwanag kong ano itong nararamdaman ko. My friends approached me and my older brother gave me a rose, They all smiled at me. Lumapit sa akin si Kuya at niyakap ako ng mahigpit at hinalikan sa noo.

And you know one of these days, when I get my money right.

Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life.

Will forever be enough, so there ain’t no need to rush.

But one day, I won’t be able to ask you loud enough.

As Sevirous continues to sing, The man I love is now in front of me. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na magaling pala siyang kumanta, This is the first time na narinig kong kumanta siya. Napangiti ako dahil dito, Mas lalo ata akong mainlove sa kaniya nito aughh! 

I’ll say, will you marry me?

I swear that I will mean it

I’ll say, will you marry me?

Singing, uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh, oh-yeah.

He sang again while smiling. I was surprised when he suddenly knelt down and took the ring. My tears suddenly dripped because I didn’t expect him to do it. Oh, Omg! The man I love is now kneeling in front of me. I wanted to scream because of the extreme trembling but I suppressed it. Nakakahiya kasi hihi.

Napatitig ako bigla sa sing sing na hawak nito. Kinagat ko ang pang ibabang labi upang pigilan ang humikbi. Kinurap-kurap ko ang mga mata ko at mas lalong tinitigan ang sing sing. It was my dream wedding ring, Pinunasan ko ang luha ko ng tumulo ito.

“Hindi ko alam kong paano mag simula pft.”Natatawang sabi niya kaya napatawa na din ang lahat. Madaming tumitili na kababaihan at bakla kaya napailing ako. “I don’t know when I started liking you I mean loving you. Nong una ay gumigising ako sa umaga na wala lang, walang nararamdaman sa kong sino man especially in you, pero nagulat ako ng isang araw na nagising ako na Mahal na kita. Sino ba naman ang hindi maiinlove sa isang tulad mo? Lahat ay nasa iyo na, smart, talented and everything. Even if you are the one that everyone fears or You are dangerous woman, I know, My love for you will never change. I know I hurt you and I regret it so much. You are my life and my everything.”He said while his tears flowed, I wiped away his tears.

“Stop crying, Hon! Para kang bakla!”Usal ko saka tumawa kaya napanguso siya, Napatawa din ang mga nakarinig ng sinabi ko.

He took a deep breath before speaking again.

“I.. I am Sevirous Ace Anderson.  This time totoo na ‘to, hindi na arranged marriage. I want to ask you to be.. Officially mine. Ms. Bea Bianca Marie Avana Alonzo, Will you marry me?”He said again while smiling genuinely.

“Omyy!!”

“Sanaol!”

“Yes na yarn! Yes na yarn! Yes na yarn! Yes na yarn!”Sigawan ng lahat. 

I looked at him, He smiled while waiting my answer. I nodded slowly, He put the ring on my finger then stood up and hugged me tightly. He’s hugging me while everyone is screaming because of the romantic excitement. Sevirous immediately let go of me in his embrace and kissed me on the lips. His kiss felt so good because I can feel his love for me in every move of his lips against mine.

FAST-FORWARD.

We are here now at their house while eating. His family smiled at me and congratulate me, us.

“I can’t wait na maging parti ka ng family namin, Ate Bea.”Masayang sabi ni Alexia, nginitian ko na lang siya dahil nga sa nagugutom ako hihi.

“Dahan dahan sa pagkain, Hon. Baka mabulunan ka nyan mamaya eh.”Suway sa’kin ni Sevirous. I pouted kaya tumawa siya at kinurot ako sa pisngi.

Umalis na din pala agad si Mommy shin at ang mga staff dahil may kailangan pa siyang asikasuhin doon sa Korea.

“Gutom na gutom ka ata, Sweety?”Natatawang tanong ni Mommy Rachel, Ngumiti lang ako sa kaniya saka tumango.

“Opho! Ang shawap ng foods!”Sabi ko habang ngumunguya ng pagkain. Pinitik ni Sevirous ang noo ko kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

“Stop talking when your mouth is full.”He seriously said, I just nodded at him.

An hour later we all finished eating, our friends and my older brother went home na. Dito ako matutulog ngayon dahil sobrang namiss ko si Sevirous. Tumayo kaming dalawa saka lumapit kay Daddy at Mommy niya.

“We will rest and sleep na po, Mom, Dad.”Paalam ni Sevirous sa kanila, Tumango silang dalawa saka ngumiti samin.

“Good night, Mom, Dad.”I said then kissed them in their cheek, they were surprised by what I did but they still immediately smiled back to me.

“Good night, Mom, Dad. Rest na din kayong dalawa.”Malambing na sabi ni Sevirous at hinalikan ang mga magulang sa pisngi.

We turned our backs on them and went straight to Sevirous’s room. Binagsak ko ang katawan ko sa malambot niyang kama. Bigla niyang minasahe ang aking likuran kaya napangiti ako.

“Tired?”He asked so I nodded. Humiga na ako ng maayos kaya humiga na din siya sa tabi ko at niyakap ako ng sobrang higpit. “I love you.”He sweetly whispered.

“I love you too.”I whispered back then yawned, He chuckled then kissed my forehead.

“Good night. Sleep well, Hon.”He said, dinig kong sabi niya bago ako tuluyang nakatulog.
