My Sister's Fiance

Chapter Forty Three -- The Reception

. . . . . . . . .

After tons of picture taking both inside and outside the church the bride and the groom is finally led to their car to the reception while rice grains were constantly pouring on the newly weds. In Filipino traditional wedding rice represents abundanc, it also portrays that the husband and wife and their family would not hunger.

Jeremy is smiling sweetly while holding his wife's hand into the bridal car with a malicious thought in mind. Maybe.. just maybe its good to be.

. . . . . . . . . .

The reception is already flooding with people, some were chatting and eyeing the heavenly design of the reception. The wide garden were decorated with fine cloth hanged in beautiful array to either served as a design and as shade, some were intertwined with a very light blue cloth to decorate the temporary  walls together with the vines and flowers clinging softly with each other as if picked from an enchanted kingdom of gardens and blooms. The wind is singing softly and touching the cloth adding more effect to its heavenly allure.

The place is just heavenly itself, various white flowers decorate the place signifying all purity of a haven. For Jeremy said purity isn't something within the body alone. It is with mind, intent and even in our hearts so he wanted to tell her that his love is pure with no malice and beyond any mistakes. For him she was as pure as snow itself. 

But then again where is he?

That is the same question Ariel and Jacinta has just moments ago. Jeremy was seem to eager to be alone with his wife that he had just maybe had the intent of ditching their own reception.

"That bastard! If he really. .really won't show up now I'm grilling him alive.. ." Jacinta angrily said as she paced and looked at the garden's entrance. Seriously his not planning to ditch them right? This is their reception for petesake!

"Uhmm. ..can't blame him actually if his that excited to be alone with his wife y'know.." Ariel answered as he scan the entrance too. He was actually not at ease with the idea but then again he really has no choice so instead he masked all his misery with a smile and a confident stride, hoping, just hoping that maybe it would go away somehow.

. . . . . .  . . . . . .

The wind kisses Cassandra's face as she waved and welcome it, the farm and the green scenery before them is just so calming to be with. Provinces still do provide a fresh scented cold air that makes you both feel chilled but warmed inside as if comforting you in both unique ways.

They were currently touring the mountain side, there were lots of farms and people doing stuff, like tending the cows and chickens, some were even spraying fertilizers on the green rice stalks or just mowing the rice field. The simple life this folks live is alluring to Cassandra knowing all the noise and busy life of a city. A town like this and its hospitable and smiling people despite their labour makes her feel somewhat strange.

On the otherhand Jeremy is watching his wife intently. He could see the mixture of content, happiness and relax expression on her eyes that makes him feel more happy. Seeing her all like this makes him smile.

"Aren't we detouring? We've been farther from the reception. Jacinta would have us both grilled!!" Cassandra said while giggling with the thought. Oh no. She could already see Jacinta's face already. Oh the price to see it!

"They'll be fine. Besides, its our day. ."

. . . .

A sudden beep jolt Jacintha from her murderous thought, but reading the message seems to add fuel to her rampaging temper. "That selfish bastard!"

Ariel just laugh it off, he had somehow guess this would happen the moment he saw the glint in Jeremy's eyes. Even so it doesn't diminish the hollow pain he is feeling right now. All these years, all those waiting time, to end like this, but seeing how Cassandra giving her vows, he knows she is blissfully happy and he couldn't wish for more. Maybe the only thing he wished right now is for her to live healthier, longer and happier.

"I'm really gonna kill him, how could he do this?? Ugh!" Jacinta is still delirious, all her painstaking effort for the venue and reception, the sleepless nights.on planning turned into lile this, her brother is really a pain in the ass. But she had no choice now, not that she can drag his brother back, besides.many of the guest were already hungry so she needs to improvise.

She really hate her brother.

. . . . . . . . . 

She peeked in the church not far away, she is wearing a cap and a shawl to cover her face, while dressing in full white. A part of her mourns, her love would be married to her sister. Looking at how happy they both are make everything more unbearable to her. She feel so miserable yet they were so happy. 

"Why?" She whispers. "Why him? Of all people, why him ate?"
