My Husband's Rival

CHAPTER 4

EIRLYS

"THE MEDIA WILL go earlier to witness your wedding, Eirlys. Are you excited?" My cousin, Ciarra, asked. He's retouching my makeup.

I stared at the mirror in front of me. I looked gorgeous as always, but that's not what I'm going to talk about.

Today is my wedding day. My 20th birthday happened a month ago and our family wants us to do our wedding already.

Ate Phamela left for Paris already. I invited my Kuya Spiro sa kasal ko. But father disagreed, but I told him that I want him to see this as my wedding gift.

Everything happened in instant. Minadali ang lahat, but it turned out perfect.

Hindi ko na nakausap pa ulit si Draven about what we're going to do with us and with his girlfriend, too. As much as possible, I want this marriage to work and not fail because failing this marriage will make my parents disappoint, too.

I'll tell him to break up with his girlfriend. I'm going to be his wife since today and I want my husband alone. Gano'n din naman siya sakin.

I licked my lips. Sinuway agad ako ni Ciarra sa ginawa kong 'yon.

"Eirlys, I forgot to ask this because you got so busy but... anong nangyari noong gabing umalis tayo at nag bar? Nawala ka na lang bigla." Ciarra said while putting some pearls on my hair.

Napaisip ako bigla sa sinabi niya.

Yeah. That night. I don't give a damn about it. That was worst plus... hindi ko mahanap ang importansya nito sakin. Nothing special dahil hindi nga natapos. Nagsisimula pa lang, wala na.

"Nothing much. Umuwi rin ako."

I don't have much info about him. All I know is his name is Xelios and he lives there. Has lots of tattoos, too. Hindi ko na aasamin na magkita pa kaming dalawa ulit.

"Ma'am..."

Lumingon ako sa pinto nang may kumatok do'n.

"Come in." I said.

Pumasok naman ang wedding coordinator.

"Ma'am, the groom what's to talk to you po." Nag-taas ako ng kilay. "But sa mga pamahiin, the groom can't see the bride yet."

Umiling ako. "I don't care about the superstitious. Let him in and leave us alone for awhile." Utos ko rito.

Ciarra left the room together with the coordinator. Pumasok at pumalit naman si Draven. I stood up to face him.

I scanned him from head to toe. He looks perfect. He's wearing a white tuxedo and black in the insides. I can smell him from here. He looks gorgeous.

Nakaayos na siya samantalang suot ko pa lang ang robe ko.

"Why do you want to see me?" Tanong ko sakanya. I faced the life size mirror and touched my face with the brush.

"I want to talk to you about..."

Nag-angat ako ng tingin sakanya nang hindi niya maituloy ang sasabihin niya. I caught him looking at my revealed chest. Hindi ko naman magawang ayusin 'yon dahil ayaw kong ma-offend siya. He'll be my husband minutes from now.

"About?" I raised my brow.

He cleared his throat. "About us, Eirlys."

I sighed. Humarap ako sakanya. "How's your girlfriend?" I casually asked.

He pressed his lips together. Umawang ang labi niya at hindi alam kung anong isasagot. Tumabang ang pakiramdam ko. So, he's not letting her go, huh?

"Break up with her kung hindi pa kayo break."
