Chapter 35

"Why are you here outside, Mason?"

I asked as I saw Mason outside the mansion. Nakasandal siya sa gilid ng pinto habang sinisindihan ang kan'yang sigarilyo. No'ng una ay hindi ko inaasahan na naninigarilyo pala siya. I just knew it when we were in Spain. I tried to stop him because it is not good for his health and he stopped. But that just I thought, but I caught him again puffing a cigarette. Naninigarilyo siya ng patago pero hindi ko na siya pinigilan pa. It's his own business at hindi na dapat ako nakialam pa sa gusto niya.

But I was just concerned.

Haed, Shan, Anastasha, Gerwen, Diera and Shiela are in the pool area, nag-iinom. Sa susunod na araw na kasi ang kasal namin ni Haed kaya napagpasyahan nilang mag-inuman dito. Shiela is good with us that's why she's here.

There's just one person I know that couldn't accept me for Haed. And that is his mother. She never accepted me and I think she will never accept me as her daughter-in-law but I'm fine with it. We can't please people just to like us. Whatever she wants, then she wants. But not all she wanted will ever give to her. And we are the example. She wants Shiela for Haed but she can't do anything about it because Haed loves me. He chose me, and I know he will forever choose me over everything. I can sense that.

Mason inhaled his cigarette and exhaled it. I don't like the smell of the cigarette but it wasn't that bad, huh? Siguro dahil pinaghalong bango ni Mason at ang usok kaya hindi mabaho. Umaalingawngaw kasi ang bango ni Mason. He smelled so damn good. Nakakaadik. Pero I already had Haed, his smell is my favorite. Parang inaakit ako lagi sa bango niya.

"Anastasha," he shrugged.

Tumango ako dahil alam ko na agad ang ibig niyang sabihin. Ayaw ni Anastasha na makalanghap kahit na konting usok. Sumasakit kasi ang ilong niya kapag gano'n. She wasn't even capable of cooking. Hindi rin naman siya marunong magluto dahil 'yon ang sabi niya sa amin. She wanted to learn how to cook pero kapag nagluluto kasi ay may usok talaga sa pagkain. Buti na lang marunong si Shan magluto at marunong sa lahat ng gawaing bahay.

"Nga pala, ano nga pala yung inaasikaso mo sa Davao?" bigla kong tanong.

It seemed like he didn't expect me to asked him that. I arched my brow at him. He looked away from me.

"Just something important about the case." he then puffed his cigarette.

I wasn't convinced! "Why do I feel like you're lying?"

"Because lawyers are liars?" he said and shrugged. "But I wasn't lying."

"What kind of case is that, then?"

"Why are you seemed interested?"

"Because I wasn't convinced!" I frustratedly said.

Nagkibit balikat siya na parang wala lang. "That isn't my problem anymore so go inside and enjoy with them." he pushed me a bit.

"How can I enjoy, huh?"

"You were the one who asked me first about that. What I did isn't your business, okay?"

I groaned but he's right. Trabaho niya naman 'yon pero bakit may kakaiba akong naramdaman? Bakit ko pinapakealaman?

I sighed. I should have erase whatever is on my mind. It wasn't helping me. I should have enjoy my night and think about the wedding. Why would I think about his job, huh?

I drank my juice and trying to forget it. Juice ang iniinom ko ngayon dahil wala ako sa mood para uminom ng beer and I was thankful that they believed me.
