Captivated

Prologue

Driving in the road of my hometown, 'now this is home' as I was watching from my car window, many old memories and feelings flashes back. Memories that should be buried and forgotten, but it never did left in my mind.

"Shit" I stepped on the gas, I reached for my watch in my wrist "I'm so freaking late".

I miss this vibe sa mga probinsya, walang traffic and I could just drive as fast as I want to. My phone ringed in the middle of my thoughts, I picked it up, "Ate the wedding is about to start, nasaan ka na ba?" My brother from the other line.

"Malapit na ako, actually I'll stop pa in our house for a minute so that I can change. Saan nyo nilagay gown ko?" Tanong ko. "To your room duh. Their all waiting and asking for you ate, bilisan mo na dyan." He said that in an irritated tone then he ended the call.

I arrived in our house and found my gown in my bed."Rosie pink" They've really got good taste in theme color, my gown is a strappy, long body con v neck. I applied light make up on and droved to the church.

I'm one of the brides maid and obviously hindi na ako naka paso sa aisle dahil late na ako. I entered the church, the wedding is still ongoing. As I walked in, many relatives greeted me quietly, "O nandito ka na pala Viviane, late ka na't Hindi ka na naka paso." Obviously ante "hello ante! Oo nga po, kakarating ko palang kasi." I smiled.

"Napaka espesyal nga at kayung mga magpinsan ay nag effort pang umuwi." I just smiled genuinely and proceed to the seats with the other brides maid. My cousins and the brides relatives greet me quietly, "you're finally here, what time ka bumyahe?" my cousin, ate Mary asked.

"Mga alas 4 na from cebu, you?" I asked back "kagabi pa lang" she said. We divert our attention to the wedding, "You may kiss the bride." The priests said ending the wedding.

Almost all of the elders cried, the Tito's cheered Ng nag kiss Ang bride at groom. I'm so happy for my cousin but I just couldn't really get too emotional, beside me my cousins criying and I just comforted them.

After that, we had our photo taking. First the made of honor and the best man. Then the grooms men and the brides maid, the arrangement was partnered both the grooms men  and the brides maid.

"Sino ba dito yung partner ko?" I asked ate Angelita who's beside me. She opened the card na nandoon ang mga arrangements. "Yung cousin ni Diane, si Leo" I paused.

Never heard that name since 'forever'. I sighed and look for him. He was already starring at me, 'okay Viviane be cool' , I meet his eyes and walk towards him. "I guess we're partners" I said calmly and position myself beside him.

"Okay everyone ready and 1,2,3" the photographer clicked the camera. I expected his here so I shouldn't be surprised, but I was surprised for how he looked and how he has grown.

I glance at him, Same scent, same hair, same serious expression, same aura: confident, cold and gentle. His body has grown, he is so much taller than me now.

I should be calm. The past is all in the past, he probably doesn't remember and doesn't care like always.

"Next up, family of the bride" the photographer. I immediately walked towards my seat to wait for our turn.

He smiled to the camera. Now I get to see him fully, uminit ang gilid Ng aking mata 'shit' all memories flashed. I shouldn't be this affected, it was damn 6 years ago!

He meet my eyes and all I felt was emptiness.

This story is all fictional.
The events, characters, plot is all fiction.
So much in my mind right now and I figured that I should just write it all out.
