The "SHE" Groom

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

IT's been a month already and everything has been fine, Veatrice can say. Her brother woke up and got reunited by his wife while she took her time partying and doing what she likes to do. She miss that. Free from pretension.

"What are you doing, nag-iinom ka lang diyan, nagmumukha ka tuloy heartbroken. Sayaw tayo don! Hanapan kita ng gwapo! Bilis!" her bestfriend/cousin giggled habang hinahatak siya papunta sa dance floor.

The club is full of foreigners from different countries getting wasted and spending their time to its extent. She silently wished she could feel that way again. Hindi niya rin naman matukoy kung bakit parang ang gloomy lately ng pakiramdam niya. Pakiramdam niya ang laki ng kulang sa kaniya. She would always think that maybe she was just worried that the Scott family were still upset by her.

What the fudge Veatrice! Kailan ka pa naging worrier sa anong iniisip ng ibang tao sayo. You must have been gone crazy by staying in that mansion.

Gusto niyang makalimot once in a while. She tried to force herself to be jolly. She smiled at every men who are gawking at her and paid them a flirtous smile. The one and only Veatrice indeed still existed.

She swayed her hips in a seductive way. She dance until she can't take it anymore.

Nang mapagod sa pagsasayaw umupo siya muli at pinanood na lamang ang kaibigan na nakikipaglandian.

She sigh.

Her phone vibrated at nang tingnan nakita niyang tumatawag sa kaniya ang ina.

She motioned her hand na sasagutin muna niya ang tawag sa pinsang sumasayaw parin habang nakatingin sa kaniya. Tumango naman ito kaya lumabas na siya ng bar upang sagutin ang tawag.

"Mom?"

"Vea, I've been calling you non-stop, bakit ngayon ka lang sumagot?"

"I was having fun at the club mom, you know already that I miss my life that much atsaka kasama ko rin naman si Suzette so you don't have to worry about me" aniya sa ina

" Okay fine, but I just want to tell you that you are there in Germany for almost two months already, why don't you come back here in Philippines, isama mo na rin si Suzette"

Napabuntong hininga siya sa saad ng ina. How would she come back in the Philippines kung hanggang ngayon hindi niya parin alam kung paano haharapin ang pamilyang Scott.

She's not ready to face them at this moment.

"Mom, ilang ulit ko pa ba uulitin na I am too busy here with my business atsaka hanggang ngayon may problema parin ako sa expansion ng botique ko sa america at dito sa Germany"

Simula nang umalis siya ng pilipinas hindi pa siya kailanman nakikipagkita sa almost naging boyfriend niyang si trojan kahit ilang ulit na siya nitong kinulit. She knew that once na makipagkita siya sa lalaki there will be a great chance for the approval ng VGSM botique kung saan ang gusto niyang pagtayuang lupa non ay sa kasamaang palad pagmamay ari ni Trojan.

"Come on Georgia give yourself a break" ayan nanaman ang mama niya "ito nalang, maybe this news can change your mind at baka ma-adjust mo ang schedule mo once for a while"

She sighed at nakinig nalang sa paandar ng ina "what is it this time ma?"

"Charles is marrying again, this time siya na ang maghaharap kay Yna sa altar, and your twin brother want you to be one of their bridesmaid" anyaya ng ina.

" Mom! You know the situation naman diba--" and then she got cut off by her mother

" Na ah, if you are concern about the Scott family, you don't have to worry about that anymore, your twin brother already explained everything to the family and wala na iyon sa kanila. It was already decided by our family and the Scott's na kakalimutan na ang nangyari"

Kahit sa narinig hindi parin nawala ang bigat sa na nararamdaman sa kaniyang dibdib because even if the Scotts already forgives them for pretending she know deep inside there is someone who holds a rage for her. And she isn't ready yet to face him again.

"Mom, I can't go home. Marami pa akong dapat gawin dito. Just send my regards to Charles and Yna's wedding, babawi ako soon sa kanila mom baka makakauwi na ako kung magagawa na nila ang mga pamangkin ko" she joked "just let me pass this time, hindi ko pa kayang pumasok ng simbahan after everything that had happened and I am honestly telling you that, I hope you'll understand"

Her mother released a loud sigh on the other line " Fine, hindi na kita pipilitin but ikaw ang magpapaintindti sa kapatid mo kung bakit hindi ka makakapunta sa kasal niya"

" Fine, fine, ako na ang bahala kay Charles mom, dont'cha worry"

" Okay, okay" she heard an approaching chattering sound "oh--oh Thomas napadalaw ka?" Her mom said. Pagkarinig ng pagkarinig niya sa pangalang binanggit ng ina, kumabog ang kaniyang puso at parang natulos siya sa kaniyang kinatatayuan.

"Tita" it was Thomas voice from the other line and just merely hearing his voice all the pain came back to her.

"Iho, mabuti naman at napadalaw ka dito, andiyan ba ang mga parents mo?"

" Yes po tita, nauna lang po ako dito you know dad, mahinang magdrive" ani naman ng binata na siyang kinatawa ng dalawa, she didn't know her mom and thomas are already close to each other. Ang rami na sigurong nangyari sa pinas habang wala siya.

"Oh, I almost forgot nag-uusap pa pala kami ni Vea--" before her mom can talk to her again, she hanged up the call and stared to nothing, hindi pa rin kumakalma ang kaniyang puso sa pagkabog.

"Georgina, kanina ka pa dito ah, akala ko iniwan mo na ako at umuwi ka na" her cousin Suzette exclaimed habang kasa-kasama ang lalaking kasayaw lang nito kanina.

She calmed herself and smiled "Si mama kasi ang raming k-kuwento kaya natagalan ako, ahm so ano na, balik na tayo sa loob"

She enjoyed her night getting wasted and trying to fool not anyone this time but herself hoping she could get over her feeling to the guy named Thomas Szyvenzict Scott.
