Versailles Series: The Nun [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 47

"I want a modern wedding dress with a touch of my Cordilleran heritage."

Iyon ang sabi ni Nyx kay Marceline nang mag-prisinta itong gumawa ng wedding gown niya.

"I actually want to do that for a long time. Wala lang akong client na nag-re-request."

She smiled at her. "Excited na ako."

"So, where will the wedding be?"

"Iniisip ko kung dito sa club. I mean, we met here. Under different circumstances pero we want to come back where it all began."

"Ay...nakakainggit naman. Kayo ang unang ikakasal dito sa club. Luna and Lake married in their province kung saan sila nagkakilala. Si Sachi at Sir Japs ay nag-beach wedding din sa isla kung saan sila na-in love. May theme ba kayo ng mga kasal or something?"

Natawa siya. "Nagkataon lang siguro, Marceline. Wala ka bang boyfriend? Wala bang nanliligaw sa iyo?"

Marceline smiled meaningfully. "Wala."

"Why are you smiling?"

"I can't remember the last time I was actually interested in a guy. I mean, I have this phobia with men. But this guy...he's making an effort to talk to me kahit malayo ako lagi sa kanya. I don't know. Ayaw kong mag-assume."

She touched her hand. "Ngayon pa lang, I'm happy for you na."

"Thanks. I look forward to your wedding. Hay...tignan mo nga naman. Si Sir Azrael ikakasal na. Iyung ibang kaibigan niya kaya?"

"They'll get there."

Napalingon sila nang bumukas ang pinto. Azrael came in and kissed her cheek.

"Hey Marceline." Bati nito sa designer. He smiled at her. "Shall we?"

Nagpaalam na siya sa kaibigan. "Sabihan mo na lang ako kapag may update ha."

Tumango naman ito at pinalayas na sila sa boutique nito.

Pasakay na sana sila sa sasakyan nang mapatigil ito. "I didn't know they got back together."

"SIno?"

He pointed at the people in front of them. "Kylo and Patch."

"Ah...siya pala si Patch."

"You know her?"

She shrugged. "Lumapit si Gov. Kylo sa akin dati. He said he wanted to unlove her."

"I haven't seen her in a while. Mukhang kababalik niya lang from somewhere."

"Malay mo naman sila na ulit. Baka sila na ang susunod na ikasal sa atin."

He rubbed his nose on hers. "Come now, my fairy."

Plano nilang pumunta sa Maynila ulit. He had some work to do and he needed to go there. Siya naman ay kakausap ng suppliers para sa kasal nila.

Hindi pa siya nakakabalik ulit mula noong eskandalo na nangyari noon. She dreaded coming back because of what people thought of her. Azrael re-assured her that he won't let anybody hurt her again.

***

They stayed in Azrael's house. Hindi na siya nag-check in tulad ng dati. Siya lang naman itong nagpupumilit na mag-hotel na lang kapag nasa siyudad siya.

"Are you sure you want to go with me? You can stay here until your appointment."

Umiling siya at inayos ang necktie at kwelyo ni Azrael. "Malapit lang naman iyung meeting place namin sa office mo. Doon na lang muna ako. Saka dala ko naman iyung tablet ko kaya may pagkakaabalahan naman ako."
