Marielle was family friend of his at kaibigan ng ikakasal.
I watched the cerempny from afar with Nana.
"Matagal ng magkaibigan si Marielle at Leonard, ipinapareha pa nga sila eh" his Tita said.
Tumango ako at saka ngumiti.
I looked at them, tumatawa si Marielle habang nakahawak sa braso ni Leonard, he would laugh, too.
"Excuse me po"
I excused myself and went out of the venue, sa labas ay mahangin at tahimik, it was a cliff, may fences na nakaharang para hindi magdire-diretso, there were benches there, I sat on the bench, nearest to the cliff, I sighed and just look at the view.
I took out my phone when it vibrated, it was dad.
My heart pounded.
"Dad?"
["Levin said you were out of town? Umuwi ka ba sa Nueva Ecija?"]
"Uh, opo, I attended a wedding po"
Partially true.
["Ah, alright, when will you be back?"]
"By Monday, daddy"
["Alright, take care, hija"]
"You too, dad"
He hung up, I sighed.
"Trouble?"
Lumingon ako, ot was Leonard, palapit siya sa akin, I shook my head and looked back ahead.
He sat down beside me.
"Why did you leave inside?" Sabay naming tanong sa isa't isa.
"You were gone"
"I wanted fresh air"
Sabay naming sagot iyon sa isa't isa, nagkatinginan tuloy kami, I looked away and just look ahead.
"What's wrong?"
"Wala, puyat lang siguro ako"
I slept late last night dahil hindi ako makatulog, he would make out with me pero wala ring naitulong iyon, I ended up reading until I fell asleep.
"Do you want us to go back to the house? So you could rest?"
"No, I'm fine, hahanapin ka nila, yoi should get back inside"
"Let's go back then"
"Hindi na, dito na lang muna ako"
Mukha siyang naninimbang.
"Did... something happened inside?"
"No, wala, everything is fine, I'm good"
He was hoing to speak again pero may nagsalita sa likod namin.
"Leonard, you're here lang pala, games na daw, everyone is looking for you"
It was Marielle, her eyes flew to me, she smiled a bit.
"You should come, too" aya niya.
I just smiled back.
"Sige na, pumasok ka na roon" I pushed him to go.
"Susunod ako" he said to Marielle.
She nodded and went back inside.
"Go, hinihintay ka nila, don't ruin the wedding"
He shook his head.
"They can proceed without me"
I shook my head and stood up, tiningala niya ako.
