#MY07 Chapter 07

"Seriously?" I asked when Levi parked in the parking area instead of the usual just dropping me off sa may harap ng hospital. Instead of answering me, he just unbuckled his seatbelt at mas nauna pang lumabas sa akin. He's really serious about introducing himself to my workmates... Na-stress ba siya roon sa akala nila ay pinsan ko siya?

"Let's go," he said, cocking his head to the side.

I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Ang ganda-ganda ng gising ko sana, e! After kasi nung 'proposal' niya, finally ay nag-ikot na kami sa island. We tried as many amenities as we could possibly fit sa natitirang araw namin. Good thing he just let me dahil mas iyon talaga ang gusto kong gawin! But when night fell, hindi na ako naka-labas sa kwarto. Bininyagan ata namin bawat sulok ng villa.

"Are you okay?" he asked habang naglalakad kami papasok.

"No," I quickly replied.

"Oh, come on. It's our first day as engaged couple," sabi niya habang sinasabayan akong maglakad. Gwapo naman si Levi—as in nung una ko siyang nakita ang naisip ko agad, 'grabe ang sarap naman nito.' Pero ngayong araw, parang nag-extra effort siya para mas magmukhang gwapo.

Hula ko talaga dahil iyon sa chismis!

"Masakit 'yung pepe ko."

Agad siyang natigilan sa paglalakad.

Oh, shit.

Nawala sandali iyong filter!

During all those months na magkasama kami ni Levi, minsan naman talaga ay lumalabas ang tunay kong ugali—but I was always careful sa mga terms na lumalabas sa bibig ko. I was aware that I had the tendency of being vulgar. Ayoko lang magsalita ng mga ganon sa harap niya dahil baka ma-turn off siya sa akin.

But then again, we're already engaged...

Baka naman pwede ko nang ipakita ang tunay na Julienne Salvacion—filterless and all.

"I mean—" I said and then trailed off dahil hindi ko na alam ang sasabihin pa sa susunod! Mabuti na lang at nakita ko si Marcus at Niles na naglalakad sabay palabas ng hospital. "Nileen!" malakas na sigaw ko. Mabilis ko silang nilapitan at iniwan si Levi na mukhang nabigla sa narinig niya mula sa bibig ko.

"Lakas ng boses—"

"Engaged na ako!" I said, cutting her off and showing her the ring that I was sporting. It's like a really gorgeous ring! Levi told me na engagement ring daw iyon ng lola niya. And he gave it to me! More importantly, she let him give it to me!

I was seriously befuddled.

Levi's lola seemed to like me.

Feeling ko tuloy ginayuma ko si lola.

Niles blinked.

Marcus immediately congratulated me and Levi who apparently was already standing behind me. "Congrats, Levi!" Marcus said.

"Thanks," Levi replied. "I wouldn't have met this one if it weren't for you," he continued. Then I felt his hand on my waist. "Seriously, Julienne? Pepe?"

Agad na namula ang mukha ko. Bakit ba ako nahihiya?! I used more vulgar terms! Sabihan ko pa siya d'yan ng mas malala, e! Pasalamat nga siya pepe lang ginamit ko.

"It's vagina in English."

"Oh, I know," he said, then I felt a tingling sensation sa bewang ko dahil sa paghaplos niya roon. "I'm very familiar."
