Goodbye To Love

Third Person

"Ano ba! Ang bagal-bagal kumilos." Olivia grunted at the helper as she picked up her bouquet of flowers. "Sorry po, ma'am." The helper hang her head down.

Her mother, Helen, was tidying up her veil and carefully stroking it to her liking. "Dear, calm down. You're going to sweat." She smirked at her daughter as she lifted her chin up.

Olivia sighed and nodded, "I just want this to be perfect Mommy."

"I'm sure it will be, darling." Helen smiled at her daughter and a knock on the door was heard. "Who is it?" She half-shouted.

"Ma'am may dumating na package po... Baka raw po congratulatory gift." A girl with a pale rose suit and white mask went inside the room and held out a small white box with a golden ribbon.

Helen smiled and thanked the maid as she took the box from her hand and gave it to her daughter. "Sige salamat." The girl then went out with a light chuckle and sly smile her face.

"Nabigay mo na ba, El?" A boy asked as she entered the car. "Of course, Lui! Ako pa." She smirked and shut the car door close.

"Tita Iya's going to be ecstatic." Luis grinned and they both drove away from the hotel.

"I hope the plan goes well." Eli said as she contacted someone on her phone.

"Hello, Tita?" Eli's sweet voice rang through the car as she held her phone close to her ear. "We've already handed it to her." She smiled.

"Thank you, dear. Tell your mom and dad I said thanks for agreeing with this. Hope to meet them soon." Iya's voiced lingered through the line.

"Hopefully, Tita. Good luck on the plan!" She bid her goodbye's and ended the call. "This is going to be a nice wedding." Luis commented. "It surely will!"

"Congratulations! Here's to your next chapter. Good luck." Olivia read through the note and a folded paper was placed on the bottom of the box.

Helen's eyebrows furrowed at this and looked at her daughter, "From who?" She asked. Olivia's shoulder motioned up and down, "Walang nakalagay..." She informed.

Her hands took the piece of folded paper and slowly unfold it to see the whole page. Their eyes widened at what was given to them.

"Mommy!" She shrieked. "May nakaalam?" She looked to her mother's eyes. Helen shushed her daughter's mouth and took the paper out from her hands, teared it to pieces, and looked at her.

"Wala kang nabasa. Walang binigay sayo." The paper was now illegible.

"But mommy... Parang may naka-alam sa ginawa natin... Tell Daddy now." She looked at her mom and her breathing quickened.

Helen squeezed her daughter's hands and nodded, "I will... I will... I'll tell him, okay? Just calm down." She turned around and looked for her phone.

Olivia's hands were trembling what she just read but a single phone call made her jump. She quickly grabbed her phone and accepted the call.

"The bridal car is already at the entrance waiting for you." Kian informed her, "Can't wait to see you, Via!" She heard him say.

The ride to the church was quiet.

She couldn't say anything as there was a driver in front. Her hands started to get cold as she knew someone out there would cause trouble on her wedding day.
