Last Chapter: Happy but not ENDING
SASHA REIN SALVATORE-BUENAVISTA
After the wedding ceremony, dumiretso na kami sa reception, which will be held at their hotel, Moonlight Palace.
Nakaupo kaming dalawa sa gitna habang nakaharap sa mga guests. Pinaglalaruan niya ang kamay ko. Nagsusulat ng kung ano-ano doon.
I saw Pierce go up the mini-stage.
"Hey, people! Let me introduce my handsome self first, although, I think some of you may know me already. Pierce Castellano is the name. At nandito ako dahil sa tinakot, este, mabait akong kaibigan nung groom. That's why I volunteered to be the emcee for today's video." Panimula niya na umani ng malakas na tawanan. Akala mo kasi nag-v-vlog siya, e. Loko-loko talaga si Pierce. He's known to be carefree type of guy. Kaya siguro marami siyang fans talaga dahil hindi lang siya magaling umarte, he's also humorous. No dull moment kapag siya kasama mo.
"Siraulo talaga." I heard Travis mumble while watching his buddy on stage.
"So before we start, may gusto lang akong sabihin sa bagong kasal. Actually, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala. The Great Jax Buenavista, the notorious playboy in town ay nasakal, I mean, nakasal na. Dami-dami kayang pinaiyak na babae niyan... Joke lang, hehe." Natawa ako kasi bigla niyang binawi nung biglang siyang tignan ng masama ni Travis.
"I'm gonna throw that guy into the Bermuda triangle." Tinawanan ko lang siya. Hilig nila mag-asaran, parang mga bata.
"Kidding aside. I witnessed how he falls for her, deeply in love. Ang lalim ng binagsak ng gago. Hulog na hulog. Ang corny nga, e. Pabebe. Kinikilabutan ako minsan." Nagtawanan na naman ang mga guests pati siya natawa na rin bago siya nagseryoso ulit. Tumingin siya sa akin.
"Pero, I saw the other side of him. How he almost lost his sanity when they broke up. Not sure if you can call it broken up. Basta naghiwalay sila."
I turned my gaze to the man beside me when he squeezed my hand. Nakatungo siya.
"He almost lost the will to live. It's like he's physically alive, but he's dead inside. His eyes are empty and lifeless. He drinks alcohol like it's water. Araw-araw, walang palya." Pagkwento niya pa.
I didn't know. Isang buwan mahigit lang kaming naghiwalay. Gano'n ba kalaki ang epekto ko sa kaniya?
Mukhang nabasa niya ang naiisip ko.
"It's one hell of a month. Each day was torture." Travis said while looking at me.
"That's why I can tell you, Sasha. That guy is madly in love with you. Patay na patay sa 'yo ang gago." Pierce announced. I turned back my gaze at Pierce who was still standing there.
"Putcha, ang corny. Ay, sorry. Anyway, bago natin simulan ang party, may surprise ang ating groom sa kaniyang bride. Isa na naman pong kakornihan." Biglang namatay ang ilaw at doon ko lang napansin na, nawala si Travis sa tabi ko. Hindi ko siya makita dahil madilim. Narinig ko pang nagulat ang ilang guest.
The light came back and it focused on the group of men at the center of the stage. They're standing there with their back on us.
I was shocked when the man at the very center slowly turned around to face us.
He's with some other men aside from Pierce and Yael. All of them are now facing us.
Mas nagulat ako nung magsimula ang tugtog.
Don't tell me he's going to dance that?
