Reyna ng Kamalasan (FAN FICTION)

Chapter 2

I smiled looking at this whole-body mirror while examining the way I look. God, I really am so pretty.

"mukhang mas maganda ka pa sa bride ah!" biro sa akin ni Jelo, I just smiled back. The usual Jelo—a funny classmate way back in high school.

Karamihan sa mga abay ay ichi'check ang kanilang suot, make-up samanatalang ang iba ay busy sa pag kuha ng litrato. Parang reunion itong kasal ni Silver.

Yes, I am to witness the torture of the man I love exchanging vow to the woman who can never love him the way I do. I smiled bitterly on the thought of that. ang bitter mo talaga Bettina! Nakaka'inis ka! You're a Becarez for Pete's sake!

I didn't visit Zylie on her room, ang dami kasing tao sa loob and they are all busy talking to her. Pati di rin naman kami ganoon ka'close. Nagulat na lang din ako na binigyan ako ni Silver ng invitation. Who am I to decline? We're friends even before nya pa na meet si Zylie. 

Lumapit lang si Silver kanina ngunit di rin nag tagal dahil sa ilang guest na kanyang inaasikaso, pero kahit gaano ka'busy si Silver walang duda na ang ganda pa rin ng tindig at pustura niya.

"ano? Tara na, malapit nang mag simula ang entourage." Yaya sa amin ng maid of honor, kaibigan ito ni Zylie. If I am not mistaken, Michelle something ang pangalan nito.

Nag simulang tumaas ang kilay ko ng makita ako si Buknoy na papalapit sa akin. Okay, ano na namang problema nito?

"bakit ka andito?" mataray na tanong ko ng makalapit siya akin

"whooo! Chill! Isa rin ako sa mga abay," Kung saan saan kasi napapadpad ang utak ko. Did I just ask the obvious? Stupid me, e kitang-kita naman katulad nya ng damit ang mga abay na lalaki. 

"disappointed ka? Don't worry, pumunta rin ako dito para makita ka" W-O-W, just wow! My jaw dropped on what he said. Ako? nag e'expect na pumunta sya dito para makita? No way! As in no way!!

the ceremony starts, and I feel like breaking down. Siguro ang OA na kasi highschool pa naman yun, I should move on. Pero hindi e, I loved Silver for as long as I remember. Akala ko noong umalis si Cleo it is my chance na mapansin na ni Silver, but it didn't happen that way.

The moment they exchange vow, para akong binuhasan ng malamig na tubig. I said to myself na kailangan kong pumunta ng kasal nila, because I needed closure. Para masampal ko na sa sarili ko ang malaking banner na "you are NEVER meant for each other". And I am exactly getting what I want.

I guess this is the end.. yes, this is the end.

Everybody claps their hand after they kiss, and gave their congratulations. After that I can hear them cheering and clapping their hands. Zylie looks stunning on her wedding which she designed, she really did have the talent.

"love, sakin ka na sumabay pag punta natin sa reception" napatigil ang pag co'congrantulate ng ilan kong mga kaklase kay Silver sa sigaw ni Buknoy. 

Kahit ako nagulat din naman. Ako nga nagulat mga tao pa kaya sa event? Ang eskandaloso talaga ng weirdong yun. At anong tawag nya? love? Kadiri lang ha.

"boyfriend mo si Bernardo?" tanong sa akin ng brides maid which I confrimed na si Mikaela pala ang pangalan.

I arched a brow "s-sorry" she shutter after I dagger her a look. Who is she to talk to me? are we close or something? As much as I value my privacy, I don't want them to give a wrong interpretation.

"he's just hallucinating" I simply answered while walking away. Ano ba yang si Buknoy, nakaka'stress talaga.

Aalis na ako, at nag pasyang di na tumuloy sa reception tutal nakuha ko na ang gusto ko—ang closure. 

"ang bilis mo namang mag lakad" hingal na sabi sa akin ni Buknoy nang nasa may tapat na ako ng kotse.

"you know, cut your illusion. Sa tingin mo ba papatulan ko ang mga katulad nyo? Katulad mo? My God Buknoy! Wake up. Siguro kaya di ka sinagot ni Zylie e, kasi baduy ka, weird ang galaw mo. You are dysfunctional remember when the first time you caught my attention? You were making a scene—a weird, fuuny, looser thing in front of the canteen. I don't want to be with anyone na maipapahiya ako. I'm a Bettina Coquanco-Becarez, wake up"

There was moment of silence. What did I say? Di ko mabasa kung anong ekspresyon ang meron siya ngayon. I'd never seen it before. Uuggghh! Stupid.stupid.stupid. maybe because my emotions are heighten but I shouldn't put all the burden to him.

I am emotionally drained. I just saw the man who I want to be with na may kinasal na sa iba. With all the stress on top of that, kaya siguro sumabog na lang ako bigla.

Gustuhin ko mang bawiin ang sinabi ko, a part of me is saying na totoo naman ang sinabi ko, a huge part of is true.

"s-sorry," I closed the car door and started the car. I threw a deep breath, what did I do?
