"Bro, please take care of Camari. I j-just let her go because I know you're the one she love the most." Maluha-luhang paalala ni Michael sa akin.
Napangiti naman ako. Palagi na lang kasing pinapaalala sa akin ni Michael na ingatan ko si Camari. Huwag ko raw sasaktan si Camari. As if naman na may balak pa akong saktan ang taong mahal na mahal ko.
"I know that, I love her Michael," I chuckled. "I really really do, and I have no intention to hurt her again. Never," I shook my head and give him a little smile. "So if I were you, you should move on. I have no intention to give her to you." Saad ko sa pabirong tono pero may halo itong katotohanan.
"Yeah I know that," Ngumiti ito nang malungkot. Kahit hindi n'ya sabihin sa akin, alam kong may gusto pa rin s'ya kay Camari. Alam kong mahal n'ya pa rin ang magiging asawa ko. Pero, sorry wala akong balak na ibigay si Camari sa kan'ya.
Ngayon ay nasa isang hotel kami ni Michael. Kaming dalawa lamang ang andito. Ngayon na kasi ang kasal namin ni Camari. Ang dali-dali lang nga ng panahon. Dati ayaw kong ikasal kay Camari. Ayaw ko s'yang maging asawa. Ni hindi ko nga s'ya gusto tapos kasal pa kaya? But now I'm ready. Excitement is really eating me. I'm so excited to see Camari walking on the red carpet towards me.
"Mom I don't want to marry that girl! I don't want to marry that Camari! I don't know her. I don't love her nor like her. I have a girlfriend for pete sake!" I shout with full of frustration.
"Listen Sergie." Father utter. "Who helped us? Who helped our company when we are just starting up? It's her grandfather. Cathy's father. Now that they really need a help we must help them too. We need to repay what their family helped us."
I chuckled.
Just because of indebtedness they will force me to marry an unknown girl? To the someone I don't love?
How insensitive.
"It's for your own sake, Sergie. So please —"
I got up from my seat. "For my own sake? Or for your own happiness?" I said with a joking tone. "Mom, Dad," I looked at them. "I have a girlfriend." I stop and blew some air. Calm down Sergie. "It's because Athena is not that rich? She doesn't have a company like Camari?"
When Mommy's eyes met mine I suddenly swallowed my own saliva, and flinched backward.
"You know what is the main reason behind this, Sergie! We accepted that bitch wholeheartedly. We treated her as our daughter-inzlaw. We accepted her as your girlfriend. But what?! What did she did?! She betrayed us! She betrayed you! She cheated on you! Are you blind or what?!" Mommy yelled angrily. I know she's fumming mad.
I suddenly stop and smiled a bit. They're right. Athena cheated me. She cheated me twice with my bestfriend.
"B-But...she's my life, Mom. She's my happiness. I really love her Mom. I can't loose her just because —"
"Oh shut up, Sergie!" Mommy cut my word. "It's really true that love is blind." Mommy laugh sarcastically. "Looked at you Sergie, love blinds you. Loving Athena blinded you. She's really like a snake with a venomous poison. She's poisonous Sergie, stay away from her. She cheated on you not just for once but twice! But do you still love her? Do you still want yo accept her? Unbelievable!"
"But—"
"Camari. I know Camari. Disente s'yang tao, hindi katulad ng girlfriend mo. I know you will love her as much you love Athena." Daddy said while nodding.
"Are you ready to see your bride, Mr. Dankworth?" Michael asked me with ear to ear smile.
"Super." I childishly said.
