Bongbong woke up when he became aware of the sun's rays falling on his face. He continued to keep his eyes closed as he leaned against the headboard of his bed for a while, winced at the light that was shining on him, and leaned back against the headboard again. It was a miracle that he was able to get back to his bed, sleep like a baby, and wake up at this early of a day despite the fact that he could feel how lightheaded he was as a result of the alcohol that they consumed the night before. He slowly opened his orbs, and the first thing he saw was his wedding suit, which had been meticulously arranged in a mannequin and was now completely prepared for him to wear.

He was really getting married today.

After getting out of bed, he observed the clock on the bedside table and saw that it was 7:30 in the morning. He then went back to bed. He yawned unconsciously as he firmly stood up without sensing any positive energy, grabbed the nearby towel, and then inserted himself into the bathroom of his suite room while his eyes were still half-open. He felt like he had been asleep for days, maybe due to the alcohol and the sleepless nights he had dealt. According to what he was told, the ceremony begins at nine, which meant that he had to work twice as fast to complete the look that he was expected to adhere to.

As soon as he removed himself from the water and other impediments, he promptly donned his suit and tied his tie all by himself. He also untied the knot in his tie. He didn't bother to comb his hair before leaving his room, so he had that wet, just-came-out-of-the-bathroom look. He also didn't bother to put on any clothes. As he had anticipated, the doors to the rooms that were adjacent to his were all wide open, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen could be seen moving about the area, going from one room to another. They have begun to fix their make-up as well as their suits and dresses, and they are asking the organizers and artists that are present for assistance.

"O, gising ka na pala," he felt a hand snake on his waist and judging by the voice, it was one of his sisters. "I stopped by sa kabila to see Louise and she's so beautiful."

Nanatiling tahimik si Bongbong.

"Anyway, come on, kanina pa naghihintay ang HMUA mo. Of course your make-up will be differentiated from the men there," Imee led him to a secluded room.

Bumati naman sa kanya ang babaeng naatasang ayusan siya at pilit niya itong ningitian pabalik. As Imee stayed for a while to watch Bongbong get fixed up, he sat down on some chair that was quite high and appeared adjustable. However, her phone suddenly rang, and she knew that she needed to answer it. Agad naman pinalitan ang presensya nito ng mga lalakeng naging kainuman niya kagabi.

"Akala namin hindi ka na magigising," Zubiri spoke up first.

"Muntik na kaming tumawag ng doktor," Isko joked alongside his friend.

"Mga gago, nagawa niyo pa talagang magbiro," sipat ni Chiz sa mga ito.

Ni hindi lumingon o tumawa si Bongbong sa kanilang mga salita. He did nothing but stare emotionlessly into the mirror in front of him. He was as emotionless as the make-up artist had been about their boyish conversation, which is to say that he was on the same emotional level as she was at this point in his life. Nagsimula nang magtaka ang mga kaibigan nito at isang mahinang suntok naman ang natanggap ng dalawang nag-joke kanina mula kay Chiz sa pag-aakalang sila ang dahilan nito.
