AGS 4: The Best Man's Wedding

Chapter 26: Dedicated

Natatawa ako na naiinis because Clark looked like the legal boyfriend who caught his girlfriend cheating sa mall. He was glaring at Will na hindi makatingin sa kanya nang deretso. And there was Mathilda cupping his cheeks, telling him, "Clark, look at me. Sorry na . . . huwag ka nang magalit." She was hugging him, explaining him why they were here at kung bakit magkasama sila ni Willian sa mall, and Clark wasn't listening at all!

Pinagtitinginan na nga kami, nakabantay na sa amin yung security guard sa nearest bank malapit sa escalator kasi mukha silang magsasapakan any time!

Tahimik lang si Clark, pero ang talim talaga ng tingin niya kay Will. Dalawang armspan ko ang layo nilang dalawa, kasi kapag lumapit pa roon, for sure, magbabasagan sila ng mukha.

Ako, nasa gilid lang nila. I couldn't blame those na nakakakita sa amin because Clark looked so mabango and jowa material, and Will looked like a guy na ipagtatanggol ka any time sa laki ng mga muscle niya, and Mathilda looked so sexy in her floral off-shoulder bodycon dress. Apart from eyebrows and natural thick lashes, naka-lip tint lang siyang pink! Ang mestiza pa niya! And long-legged pa siya! Ang laki pa ng boobs niya! And her hair is so long and black and no one could condemn the three of them kung mag-away-away man sila because they have all the rights to have a fucking complicated love life kasi ang gaganda nilang creation of nature!

I was freaking confused right now, for real.

"We're just dating," Mat confessed as she held Clark's cheeks. "Clark naman . . ." She hugged him again and rested her right cheek sa balikat ni Clark habang yakap-yakap niya. She should hug him tightly because if not, he would definitely attack Will once he had a chance.

"Dine-date mo 'tong pugo na 'to?" panlalait ni Clark habang dinuduro si Will. "Mat, kadiri ka!"

"He's nice naman!"

"Anong nice-nice ka diyan? Huwag n'yo 'kong uululin, alam ko liko ng bituka ng—hayop ka talaga!" singhal niya kay Will. "Pinahiram pa kita ng tool box ko kahapon, traydor ka! Taksil! Palamara!" Susugurin na sana niya si Will pero humarang agad ako at hatak-hatak na siya si Mat.

"Clark, we're okay!" natatawang depensa ni Mat sa kanya.

"Hindi ako okay, 'tang ina, tutupiin talaga kita sa lima!" sermon niya kay Will. "Pati si Mat, hindi mo na pinalampas!" Naghubad na siya ng sapatos at ibinato kay Will. "Hayop ka. Parang kapatid na'ng turing ko sa 'yo. Pinahiram-hiram pa kita ng brief n'ong nag-swimming tayo, tapos ganito gagawin mo?"

Will was keeping his laugh as he picked Clark's white slip-on at pabatong ibinalik 'yon kay Clark padulas sa sahig.

"Nagde-date lang kami," paliwanag ni Will.

"Pakialam ko! Maghanap ka sa ibang kliyente mo, huwag si Mathilda!" Doon lang siya bumaling kay Mat at super dramatic niyang sinapo ang pisngi nito. "Kapag pinaiyak ka niyan, sabihin mo sa 'kin. Ako magbabaon diyan sa lupa."

I was covering my mouth using my right hand and prevented myself from laughing so hard. Clark hugged Mathilda and pointed his finger to Will to warn him. Kahit gusto kong magseryoso, hindi ko magawa kasi nakakatawa talaga sila.

"Huwag ka nang lalapit diyan sa pugong 'yan, ha?" Ang talim na naman ng tingin ni Clark kay Will. "Tara na, uuwi na tayo."

"But my things are in Will's car," Mat said.

Again, his deadly glares came back and Will just shrugged to surrender.

Clark and Mathilda are so close, kasama si Kuya. Sa original barkada, silang tatlo ang OG when it comes to friendship. Leo was left after his mom rejected the acceleration program for him.
