When I Met You | OffNew

Chapter 42

New’s POV

I have been trying to calm myself for days now since I saw the picture posted by one of his friends on social media.

How did I see it?

I was checking my friend's uploaded pictures on social media when I stumbled on Off's account.

I'm not really a fan of social media, I only have it since my friends asked me to create one and it's easier to talk using the chat application linked to it.

Going back, I saw the pictures tagged to Off's account on my timeline. And I don't know if it's my gut telling me to search for more pictures or just my detective skills or maybe based on experience.

I also don't know if I should be thankful that he and his friends' accounts weren't on private mode, hence I saw a full album, yes an album of my husband's bachelor party. 

The first few pictures were fine. They have pictures wearing a robe near the hotel pool. I could see my friends, Singto and Earth enjoying together with Arm and Off's group of friends.

There were also pictures of them playing around the pool and swimming. I think there were ten of them or less. I also see familiar faces, those who attended our engagement party.

My friends and Off have been close and even suggested that they should have their own bonding time together as well. I think it was the time when Off was bugging Kit about my whereabouts.

I can see Off is wearing a sash as well, but it says "HE SAID NO STRIPPPERS". Good thing that he and his friends know about our agreement.

But what caught my eyes are the three ladies wearing bikinis at the pool. Well it's the hotel pool, I'm unsure if they did rent it.

There are pictures of those ladies with Off and his friends. Also there were stolen photos of my husband talking to one, standing near the pool, both holding a bottle of beer.

Those ladies were also sitting at the table with them, eating.

"Newwiee, what's wrong?"

"Nothing" I quickly hid my phone to Mix. I don't want my friends to see those pictures, especially when their partners are with Off.

There's a picture of Earth as well and Singto. But in the picture, it looks like Earth was not talking to another girl, it was Singto and a card was being given out.

Are those models?

"Hoy! Have you seen Off's bachelor party? Who are those ladies?"

I forgot that Krist is crazier than me.

"Who?" Alice asked while grabbing her tablet.

"This must be Mike's doing." While she continues on scrolling her tablet. "Arm will get an earful from me later at home. I told him not to invite that friend of theirs as he is bad news."

"What do you mean?" I can't help but be nosy.

"Well in Arm's bachelor party, he invited strippers when we agreed he's not going to have any." 

"So those are strippers?" Mix looked at Alice's phone. "Can you zoom that out?" Looking at the same photo I saw earlier.

"Krist, you think they are models?" Mix look at our fuming friend.

"I don't know but after checking out later, Singto will voluntarily tell me."

"Or work your way for him to tell you, you mean?" I try to lighten the mood by teasing Krist. Poor Singto, but I will also be castigating Off later.

"What's that? They were also invited to the suite?" Mix asked again as he and Alice continued to browse the album.

I didn't see that, I hadn't finished looking at all the photos when Mix interrupted me earlier.

My husband looks wasted on the pictures, and that same girl was sitting, not beside him but on his lap! There were other pictures but I didn't look at them. 

I stood up and tried to dial my husband's number, again.

He had a lot of explaining to do.

I look at Krist also on his phone, probably calling Singto.

I'm sorry that it has come to this, and my crazy jealous friend will make sure Singto's life is a living hell for days.

We suddenly hear knockings on our suite. Mix looked at us before he opened the door.

"Stay calm, whatever you want to say to your partners can wait until you get home."

He is really the matured one between us three.

"Krist compose yourself." He reminds Kit again.

"Fine. Open the door."

And there they were, Singto and Earth at the door.

Earth might notice that I'm looking at the door waiting for Off.

"They are still sleeping New." He simply says and goes to his husband, giving him a kiss on the cheek while saying good morning.

"Who else is at the suite?" Alice asked the two who are now sitting on the couch in front of us with my friends.

Singto looks like a lost puppy coaxing my friend. Krist tries to keep calm but it is evident how dissatisfied he is.

"Some of Off's friends leave after the party. Only five of us stayed that night including their friend named, Michael I think. But he left this morning as well."

"That's Mike." Alice corrected Singto.

"Ah yes. I forgot his name."

"Who were the girls?" Mix asked his husband.

"Mike knew them, hence he invited them to the party."

The four of us look at each other knowingly.

"New are you done with your party? We still need to pick up Ohm at my sister's place." Earth asks.

"Yes, you can go ahead."

"Let me pack my things first hon." Mix stands up and goes to the room.

"We will go ahead as well, Newwiee." Krist mentions and picks up his bag and gives it to Singto.

I just nod my head and bid goodbye to my friends. Now it's only me and Alice left.

"Let's pack up our things and go to our husbands." Alice suggested.

"Sure." I want to talk to Off as well.

After locking the door, I asked Alice how she felt when she found out about Arm having strippers during his bachelor's party.

"I'm so mad at him. I even want to cancel our wedding. He keeps on telling me that he didn't know Mike would invite strippers."

"So I do understand and know what you are feeling right now Newwiee. And I must say you're dealing at it well."

"I was like Krist back then, Arm kept on pursuing me that time. I even told him not to invite Mike at our wedding, which of course didn't happen because he is their friend. So even during the wedding I was annoyed every time I saw his friend."

And that is what I'm feeling right now. I saw another post on Off's social media account and there he is, their friend Mike. They had dinner today.

I don't know why we have to agree with our families' suggestion that we should not see each other until the wedding day. So tonight, my kid and I are here at our home, while Off stayed at his condominium.
