"It's funny to think that someone already beat you in giving wonderful surprise. But the funniest is the surprise that you are preparing is now prepared for you."

Sam and Celindra is earnestly listening to the doctor who Amanda called. Sam even had his cell phone on recording, while holding a notebook and ballpen. He had been taking notes from the start. Kalma na rin si Celindra at nalaman niyang kinakabahan lang rin pala si Sam kaya ganun ang naging reaksyon niya. Naka-upo lang siya at nakikinig sa doctora na si Olivia Markscon. Her mother is a friend of Amanda's.

"Oh... Your mother told me about 'too much exercise' that you two had. Since, she is already 3 months pregnant and very healthy, you can do exercises but I suggest that don't do it too much. The baby will get affected. Excessive exercise can also be the reason of miscarriage." Sam immediately stiffens. He couldn't even take note of it. Napansin naman ito ni Celindra. Her eyes held amusement. She pulled the ballpen from Sam's hand and took note of it.

"No exercises"

Sam looks at the note and scoffed. He erased it and wrote: "No excessive exercise."

Natawa naman si Olivia sa harutanan na ginagawa ng dalawa. It's very rare to see this kind of relationship. Kaya naman she decided to follow her mother's order.

"I will follow you in the Philippines to maintain the health of Mrs. Francisco and the baby, so no worries." Celindra look at her, shock. Hindi siya makapaniwala na sasama ito sa kanila. Olivia is a professional doctor and she is working to a known hospital.

"You will go with us?" she asked. Olivia nodded with smile.

"Yes, my mother is a great friend of Aunt Amanda. Aunt requested that I take care of your pregnancy. Travelling in airplane while pregnant has also dangerous. Having a doctor on standby is a must."

"But, you work here... Is that fine?" Celindra worriedly asked. Napangiti naman si Olivia at mas lalo siyang naging desedido na alagaan si Celindra at ang baby nito.

"Don't worry about that. Dad can take care of it."

The vacation is cancelled because of the sudden pregnancy. They only stayed there of five days. Sam didn't let Celindra go out that much, only at morning to have a walk. He became more cautious about everything.

They are already in the Philippines and on the way to a beach, which Celindra didn't know of. She is sleeping in the car with Sam holding her. Olivia is in the front seat.

Kinakabahan si Sam sa kaniyang gagawin at tinitignan-tignan si Celindra. Natatakot siyang baka bigla itong magising. Sam's voice is also in low tone, talking to his mother Chesca.

"The people are all here." Chesca said.

"Mom, Celindra don't want too much people. You remember that right?" Sam worriedly asked.

"Of course, I remember. Besides, I heard from Maya that Celindra was actually planning a wedding for you two and will reveal something. And so, the people who will be attending the wedding will be our family, and their plus one and Celinda's friend Linda and her cousin Harley." Sam sigh a relief then, he froze. Duon niya naalala ang kakasabi lang na nagplano na pala si Celindra ng kanilang kasal, para lang i-surprise ulit siya. He is the man. Sam felt embarrased.

"She prepared a wedding? What will she reveal?"

"Yes, she did. We just need to wait what will she going to reveal. Anyway, because you also told us about this wedding, all Celindra's preparation was put in here. I'm sure she will like it."

Nakarating na sila Sam sa resort at tulog na tulog pa rin si Celindra. He immediately went to his room and get ready. Maya and others also called everyone to get ready and to inform them that they are already in here.

Maya grinned as she looks everywhere, anticipating what would Celindra's reaction will be. She skipped and went to her room.

Linagay nila si Celindra sa isang kwarto. May mga pumasok dito at nagsimulang ayusin ang mga gamit ng dahan-dahan, para hindi magising si Celindra. Sakto naman na natapos sila nung nagbukas ang mata nito. Nang magising si Celindra ay sinimulan na siyang ayusan.

Pinaligo muna nila si Celindra. Nagtataka namang sinunod niya ang mga ito ng sinabing si Sam ang nag-utos nito. Pagkatapos ay pinaupo siya ng mga ito hanggang naka bathrobe lang. May mga kumukha ng picture at hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin.

"Ahmm.. Para saan 'to? Bakit niyo ko inaayusan? And where is Sam?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Celindra sa mga nag-aayos sa kaniya.

"Mam, may inaayos lang po si sir. Meron po kasing business event na kailangang puntahan. Sabi po ni sir ayusan daw po namin kayo dahil isasama ka daw po niya." Mahinhing sabi ng make-up artist. Halata naman ni Celindra na hindi ito nagsasabi ng totoo. Lalo na dahil alam nito na scripted ang sinabi ng babae. Siya ang gumawa ng script na yun ah! Pinalitan lang ng mam and sir at business event, na ang dapat ay si Sam ang nandito at birthday ang pupuntahan. 'Kasuhan ko kaya 'to nag plagiarism?' she thought.

Pagkatapos siyang ayusan ay duon niya nakita ang wedding dress na pinili niya. She scoffed. 'seriously?' Celindra thought.

She is already wearing a white wedding dress. It's very light and easy to wear. Her shoes are white doll shoes. She is also wearing the necklace, heirloom. Her hair is in a bun and some hairs are freely swaying.

Tahimik na lang na sinunod ni Celindra ang mga 'to. Nang pinalabas na siya ay napa-irap si Celindra dahil naging binaligtad nila ang lahat. Celindra already know where she is. Ito yung resort na napili niya para sa wedding surprise. She laughed, amuse to what is happening.

Napailing na lang ito ng dumating ang employee na mag-guguide daw sa kaniya. Natawa ulit ito at sinabing hindi niya na kailangan ng guide. Natawa naman ang employee. Kilala rin kasi nito si Celindra. Naka-usap niya si Celindra ng dumalaw ito sa Resort. Kaya naman umalis na ang empleyadong ito. Dahil hindi niya na kailangan ng guide, siya na mismo pumunta kung nasaan ang main event. It is in the white sand.

She saw the people that she had chosen to attend her wedding, the designs that she thought of, the priest that she already talked to and the man who supposed to be in her position. She bit her lips to stop from smiling. It's all Maya's fault. Siya lang kasi ang may alam ng arrangement niya. And here she is... Getting married to a wedding that she prepared but the man beat her to it.

The music started. She walked through the red carpet.
