The Wedding That Never Was

Rings 40 - My family is against us.

Rings 40 - My family is against us.

Jenny smiled as she read the message Angelo sent her. She really couldn't stop herself from being all sunshine and daisies since yesterday. She still couldn't believe what happened yesterday and that the man she loved was Sir Angelo no more, only Angelo now. The cloud over her head was no longer there because finally, her love was recquited.

Good morning, don't go to the office yet, I'll pick you up. Miss you already.

She went to the kitchen and started the coffee, and while the coffee was brewing, she walked towards the cabinet and grabbed two tumblers. She set it on the counter, took two bagels out of the bread bin and walked to the fridge to get the cream cheese. She was going to make breakfast on the go for the two of them since they didn't really have time to eat here because Angelo had an early meeting with the Printing department.

Probably another lecture about how they needed to stop with procrastinating because everyone knew that the printing department liked to complete their task a day before the deadline. She smiled, she'd see her friend, Selda and she maybe she could tell her about her relationship with Angelo.

Jenny frowned, was it okay to tell others about it? Or was it too early? And she didn't also want her sister to find out, not yet. Her family will burst her happy bubble and she just wanted to stay in it in a bit. Reality was too cruel.

It was only Selda so it should probably be okay.

Pagkatapos niyang gawin ang breakfast nilanila ni Angelo ay sakto rin dahil narinig niya ang doorbell kaya kinuha niya ang kanyang bag sa kitchen counter kasama ang paper bag laman ang breakfast. Nag tungo na siya sa pinto at binuksan ito at ngumiti kay Angelo, "Good morning." bati niya.

Lumapit si Angelo sa kanya at hinalikan siya sa pisngi nito, "Morning, let's go?" sabi nito habang kinuha ang kanyang bag at paper bag na dala ni Jenny, mag protesta sana siya kaso umiling lang si Angelo. Kaya naman lumabas na siya ng unit at nilock na rin ang unit.

Tahimik sila sa elevator at nang nakababa na sasa basement ng building, naglakad sila patungo sa kotse ni Angelo. Pinag buksan siya ng pinto nito at napangiti naman siya, "Thank you."

Nang parehas silang nasa loob ng sasakyan ay nag drive na si Angelo, sa simula ay tahimik lang sila, di rin kais alam ni Jenny kung ano ang pwede nilang pag-usapan ngayon at medyo nahiya na naman siya. Kailan kaya mawawala yung hiya niya dito? Buti nalang ay naalala niya ang paperbag na may lamanlaman na breakfast nila.

"I brought breakfast pala, do you want to eat it now?"

"Let's eat at the office so that Ic could look at you while I eat."

She blushed, was he always like this? She didn't know but she liked it, nah, she loved it. "You have an early meeting." she reminded.

"Let's be honest, I'm sure the Printing department will arrive 30 minutes late." truer words were never spoken.

She laughed, "Okay pero baka lumamig ang coffee."

"That's fine, we can make it an iced coffee." she nodded even though he couldn't see it, "By the way, what do you think of a weekend getaway this Saturday?"

"Sounds fun." sagot niya, "Pero paano si Peter?", ayaw naman niyang iwan lang si Peter at umalis sila ni Angelo ng buong weekend.

"He'll be coming with us, kung okay lang sayo."

"Anong sasabihin natin kay Peter?" alam niya na kagabi ay nag-aya si Angelo din pero siguro dahil sobrang dazed pa siya ay di niya naisip kung anong sasabihin kay Peter. Ayos na bang sabihin kay Peter?
