" Aga! Look at this! "
I turned around and saw her holding a white Barong. She was smiling widely at me.
" What do you think? "
" What do I think about what? " he asked her
She glared at him and with her lips, pointed at the Barong. " This! You should wear it. "
" Bakit? Ibuburol ba ako? " I joked. She looked at me like she was shooting rockets through me. I smiled. I always liked how she sends me her "death glares" when she's almost napipikon over my jokes.
" It's a wedding barong, you idiot. " she said, with her lips puckered and her arms crossed
" Hey! I'm not an idiot and I'm not going to wear that! "
" Wear this or do not attend my wedding at all. " she said with a warning glare. I got stucked.
I haven't told Lea this, but I'm not going to attend her wedding. Actually, ever since she told me about Rob's proposal, I already planned to not go at all.
I'm not an idiot.
I won't break my heart by watching her get married to someone else.
Hindi ako masokista para saktan ko ang sarili ko.
But at times like this, when she asks for my help to fix every little details of her wedding, napapaisip din ako.
Paano kaya kung um-aattend ako?
Ano kayang itsura ni Lea sa wedding gown niya?
Iiyak ba siya habang naglalakad sa red carpet na nilatag para sa kanya?
Or would I only see smiles from her made up face as she looks at her future husband?
I shook my head and grabbed the Barong from her. I shouldn't think about this anymore.
Ikakasal na si Lea.
I have to accept that.
Hindi ako ang lalaki para sa kanya.
I have to accept that.
I put on the cloth she wanted me to wear.
" Mukha kang tanga " my mind whispered.
Psh. Sino kayang tangang na-inlove sa bestfriend niya?
I smiled bitterly at my reflection in the mirror.
Oo nga pala, ako nga pala yung tangang yun.
I composed myself before going out of this dressing room.
I looked for Lea and found her looking at the sketches of the gowns for the entourage.
I tapped her shoulder lightly.
" Umm... Okay na ba to? " I asked awkwardly. She just stared at me.
I found her response even more awkward. She was just looking at me. I snapped my fingers in front of her beautiful face, making her wake up from hypnosis.
" Wag kang matulala sakin, nakaka-inlove ang kagwapuhan ko. "
The designer beside her laughed.
" Ay true madam, ang gwapo ng groom mo. Ang yummy! " he told me, smiling naughtily " Hindi nakakapagtakang na-inlove si Madam sayo, sir! "
Groom? Ako ba yun? Oo, alam kong gwapo ako, pero groom? Ha. Never in a million years. Unless, si Lea yung bride.
And inlove? Mas lalong HA.
