FALSE ALARM

Irene's POV

Papalabas na kami ng simbahan at hirap parin akong maglakad nakakainis. We were at the center when Greggy immediately kneeled in front of me.

What is he doing? Omayghad? Don't tell me? Oh my lord!!!. Is this really it? Omayghad. Napalilibutan na kami ng tao.

"Omayghad! Daddy? Wahhhh" Iya exclaimed and cried. Greggy flashed a confused look...
"Iya? Why are you crying? He asked still kneeling in front of me..
"Sinong anak na Hindi maiiyak? Makikita kita na mag-propose sa harapan ni Mom? Omayghad kuyaaaaa. Dream come true" dagdag pa nya.

Greggy on the other hand didn't get what Iya uttered.
"Propose? Sino? Ako? Please don't get me wrong pero itatali ko lang Ang shoelace ko para Hindi ako madapa sa paglalakad! Ano bang sinasabi mo dyan!?" His words left a sting in my heart I thought he's gonna propose. I faked a smile as the crowd walked away with disappointment... I also saw Iya's face na Hindi maipinta...

Hirap man sa paglalakad ay sinikap kong makalabas. Nahihiya ako at the same time nasasaktan. Sino ba namang Hindi?... Agad na sumunod si Iya na padabog ring naglakad. Aba mas disappointed pa ata sya kesa sakin!..

"Hey love! Are you okay?" Greggy approached me. I didn't utter a word instead I go inside the car. Agad rin syang sumunod.

"Hey what's wrong? Okay ka lang ba?" He asked worriedly. Wag mo akong matanong tanong dyan Greggy baka Ikaw Ang lumpuhin ko dyan! Charot. Baka itapon Kita sa kanal. Wag na wag Kang tatabi sa aking mamaya! Nakoo ang sarap mong kainin este lumpuhin ay este palayasin...

I just gave him a death glare as he started the engine and drive way back home. Tahimik Ang buong byahe. Si Iya ay sumakay dun sa kotse ng Kuya nya. Alam Kong naiinis rin iyon! Sino ba naman hindi? Nako ang sarap sakalin nitong si Greggy! Pasalamat sya at Mahal ko sya!...

Agad kaming nakarating sa bahay at umakyat ako sa guest room. Nakakainis!!! Agad na sumunod si Greggy..

"Hey what's wrong?" He asked once again. I faced him with tears flowing into my eyes.
"Wag mo akong ma 'whats wrong. Whats wrong' dyan! Paasa Kang mokong ka!!!" I cried. I heard him chuckled talagang tumawa pa? ..

I woke up because my stomach is growling I gaze on Greggy who's sleeping peacefully. Sus napaka-gwapo!!! I was about to stand up pero naramdaman ko Ang sakit down there. Napatawa na lang ako ng maalala ko ang nangyari kanina.. Niyugyug ko Ang katawan ni Greggy para magising sya uutosan ko sanang kumuha ng pagkain.

"Heyyy, Greggy wake up!" Saad ko. Ah ayaw mo parin gumising ah. Hinampas ko ang balikat nya. At gulat syang napatayo..

"What was that for? Ang sakit ah!". He said massaging his head.
"Kumain tayo" I said and flashed an innocent smile.
"Sure baby" he said . What's wrong with this man? Nako napakalandi..

"Greggy it's not what I meant! Napakaano mo talaga!" I shouted.
"Ay ano na dapat?.... Ohh okay I get it. Sige kuha lang ako ng pagkain" he said awkwardly.

Jusko Gregorio Ang harot!..

He came back carrying a bunch of foods. "Gising pa yung Bunso mo. Ginigisa ako sa mga tanong nya" he said.

"Ikaw naman Kasi Kung ano ano nalang ginagawa mo sakin" I teased..
"Pero gusto mo naman!" He answered back..

"Tumahimik ka nga! Epal. Kumain na tayo".. I was about to feed myself when he stopped me. Aba baliw ata ang isang ito!..

Naglagay sya ng pagkain sa kutsara at isinubo sa akin. Dapat na ba akong kiligin? Bumabawi ata Ang laki ng kasalanan nya saken. Pinaasa nya ako! Nakakainis!!!
