Chapter 38

"Ohh ... Hi? And hi? Dalawa na pala kayo rito ... I'm sorry. Did I disturb you guys?" Lure asked, smirking teasingly.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "A-Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

He sighed and crossed his arms. "I'm here to inform you about the wedding."

"Hindi siya magpapakasal sa'yo." Singit bigla ni Andrius. Nagulat ako.

Humalakhak si Lure. "Chill." He then threw his hands up. "Kasal ko."

Umawang ang labi ko sa narinig. "Oh ... so you've now found a woman?" I asked. It was the marriage he asked me about days ago.

"Gratefully, meron na." Bumaling siya ng tingin sa akin at ngumiti. Umayos siya ng tayo at may nilabas na maliit na papel mula sa kaniyang chest pocket. "Honestly, I'm here to invite my ex-crush, my ex-baby, my ex-flirt bud. Attend ka, ha? Kayong dalawa? Kasal ko na bukas."

I grabbed the invitation and slapped his arm with it. "Are you serious? Hindi biro itong pinasok mo, Lure." I warned.

"Hayaan mo siya, Thalia. That's his life." si Dion.

"I'm honestly marrying her in Los Angeles, so I could file a divorce. At babalikan kita rito sa Pilipinas pagkatapos."

"Sa akin siya magpapakasal. Hindi sa'yo." Kalmado pero puno ng diin na sabi ng lalaking katabi ko.

Hinaplos ko ang braso niya, siya namang pagtawa ng malakas ni Lure.

"Nga pala, I'm your new professor sa isang unit mo. Kaka-transfer ko lang sa EEU Med School. See you there and good luck, huh? Ibabagsak kita kapag nalaman kong ... nabuntis mo si Thalia."

"You really are a fucking bastard."

"Don't bed her at night. Ibasa mo na lang ng libro ang mga gabing iniinitan ka ... para may isasagot ka sa recitation sa akin kinabukasan."

"Lure! Tigilan mo si Dion." I said. Alam kong nang-aasar lamang siya. Pero ang asarin si Dion ay hindi magandang ideya. Lalo na kung ako ang ginagamit niya. He can doubtlessly turn him into a monster.

Dion laughed expensively.

I expected that.

"I can pull strings just to kick you out of that university. Sorry, but you'd fought against the wrong person. Kung tutuusin ... I can call someone to garbage your fucking curriculum vitae right away. Your background has nothing to do with my command." Dion muttered, bossy.

Napalunok ako ng madiin.

Lalo lamang natawa ang lalaking nasa harapan namin matapos marinig ang sinabi ni Dion. Oh God, Lure. Umalis ka na lang! Don't piss this guy or else you'll doubtlessly lose your job.

"So I'll go now? Uunahan ko na kayong magpakasal." He said. Saka lang ako nakahinga ng maluwag.

Matapos na umalis ni Lure ay pareho kaming pumanhik pabalik sa kusina. Dion pulled the chair for me so I sat on it.

Hawak ko ang wedding invitation at binasa iyon. Si Dion naman ay yumakap sa likod ko, pinahinga ang baba sa aking balikat.

"Sa Pangasinan ang kasal!" I muttered, a bit shocked.

"Really?" si Dion.

"Yes. Lure was lying when he said he'd file a divorce. Paninindigan niya 'tong babae." I chortled then shifted my sight back to the paper and... "Oh my goodness! It was his ex!" I exclaimed upon realizing the name of the girl he'll be marrying.

I continue laughing. Hindi na raw mahal, ah?

Before eating breakfast, I texted Lure a congratulations. Nakalimutan ko kanina. Siya rin kasi ang may kasalanan! He teased my future husband damn much!
