ONE SHOT

TO LATE

"You may now kiss the bride," the father said.

I cried, I am happy for them while feeling this damn bullsh*t pain. Now that they're married, I can't do anything.

"Hey! Cess. Buti at nakarating ka." My sister—Cass said and hugged me.

"Of course! Dadating talaga ako, isa 'to sa magandang nangyari sa kapatid ko, eh," sagot ko the  I congratulate her. 

𝙝𝙖, 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨.

"Cess, are you alright? Bakit parang naiiyak ka?" She asked.

"N-nothing." I said while holding back my tears.

"C'mon, Cess, do you have a problem?"

"No, wala, napuwing lang ako, okay," palusot ko.

"Owss, edi halika na, pakilala kita sa asawa ko. Nakita mo naman siya kanina 'no? Ang lambot ng labi ng asawa ko sis!" Kinikilig na sabi n'ya.

"HAHA, parang first kiss mo iyon, ah? As long as I remember ang dami mong naging bf," natatawang sabi ko.

"Bwiset ka!"

Tawa na lang ang sinagot ko sakaniya

"Let's go, andoon sa may pool area yung reception. Andoon na rin sila mom and dad pati si kuya., and 'yung wife niya."

"Oh, sure. Let's go."

"Sweetie." Bati sa akin ni mom.

"Nice dress, mom," I said and hugged her. My dad kiss my forehead.

"Mom, punta na kami roon, sunod na lang po kayo," sabi ni Cess.

"Go ahead, sweet heart."

"Babe! My sister is here na!" She shouted as we approuch her husband and a circle of friends in a long table.

Unti-unting humaharap sa amin si Bryle, my sister's fiance. Yup, I know him, I know him than my sister do.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko habang papaharap s'ya. I don't know, kung paano ko siya kakausapin nor haharapin. After 1 year magkikita na ulit  kami, gusto ko sana makita siya ng 3-4 years, malamang ay naka-move on na ako no'n, but now, I still have a feelings for him.

Nagtama ang paningin namin, kita ko ang gulat sa mga mata n'ya. I just smile and look at their friends. I also saw my kuya and his wife, shane.

"Kuya." Bati ko sa kuya ko. Mag sasalita na sana si kuya ng biglang sumulpot si Shane.

He just kissed my cheeks and smiled.

"Wow, ang laki mo na Cess," Ate shane hugged and kissed me. "Dalagang dalaga kana, ah. Parang isang taon ka lang na sa states. Iba na rin ang pananamit mo. Aba! May kulay na rin mukha mo," pagkikilatis niya sa akin. I just laugh and look at her belly.

"So, ilang buwan na ngayan?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan.

"6 months." She said and sit.

"Umm,, babe. This is my sister, Cess. Cess, this is my husband, Bryle." She said. I smiled at him at nakipag-kamay.

"Hi, bryle. Nice meeting you," 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣. I said not saying the word "again".

inabot niya ang kamay ko at nakipag-shakehanda, "I-it's nice meeting you too, Cess."

"Umm, Kapatid ko. Si Cess, ganda niya diba? Mas maganda nga lang ako." My sister said to their friends. Nagpakilala sila sa akin isa isa, tho wala naman akong naalala sa kanila ni isa.
