What the hell?

Nabilaukan ako sa sariling laway nang marinig ito mula kay Glenn. Kumurap ako at hindi ko inalis ang mga mata ko sa kanya. Seryoso siyang nakatitig sa mga magulang niy,a at mas lalong humigpit ang hawak niya sa kamay ko.

Straight away, I converted my stare at the people around us, especially his parents.

"What did you say?" Glenn's father asked in a stern voice. His eyes were deadly serious.

"Oh, my..." Glenn's mother gasped and covered her mouth in shock.

Yeah. It's bloody, oh my God!

I looked back at Glenn, asking for an explanation. But all I could get from him was a tightening stare that almost havoc my troubled heart.

I want to contest and explain to them because that's the right thing to do. That's what my mind told me, but something is stopping me, and it's my heart.

Kaya na imbes na ipagtangol ko ang sarili ay ngumiti akong tinitigan si Glenn at ang mga magulang niya na parang wala sa sarili.

"Pasensya na po kung nabigla namin kayo ni Glenn. We did not intent to hide things from you. It's just that. . ."

"You don't have to explain to them, Eres. It's alright. I can do it," his jaw tightened as he looked at me, but somehow, his eyes softened.

Kumurap ako at mabilis akong nag-iwas sa titig niya. Ngumiti akong bahagya sa mga magulang niya at sa iba pa. Lahat sila tulala, at pati na yata ang mga katulong nila sa gilid. Nahinto kasi silang lahat. Huminto ang mundo sa kalokohang ito!

Glenn's father cleared his throat, and he turned his back on us first. "I lost my appetite," he uttered before walking away.

"Franciso," saad ng mama ni Glenn.

Sinundan niya ang ama ni Glenn at naiwan ang iba. Nakatitig pa din sila sa amin na parang hindi makapaniwala sa nangyari. I can't blame them. I, even myself can't believe what's happening. Glenn is crazy. That's for sure.

"That's new. Are you sure you married my Tito? What did you like about him?" Cheska twisted her lips in dismay as she asked me. She then quickly glances at Glenn.

Hindi ako makasagot. Wala akong isasagot, Dahil hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko.

"Cheska," diin sa boses ni Glenn sa kanya. Hindi pa rin bumitaw si Glenn sa kamay ko.

"Okay. Fine!" Umirap si Cheska at saka bumalik na siya sa upuan niya. Bumalik na din ang iba at pati na si Saber. Sa kanya yata nahinto ang mga mata ko dahil siya naman talaga ang tinitigan ni Glenn ngayon.

"Let's eat and savor this wonder news!" Palakpak ng isang babae sa bahaging gilid. Hindi ko siya napansin kanina, dahil nasa pinakadulo siya ng mahabang lamesa.

"A toast to the newly wed?" Malakas na tawa niya habang nakatingin kay Glenn ngayon.

"Ugh, Selecta!" Cheska rolled her eyes and shook her head.

Cheska and she are the same age. I bet they're sisters.

"You're a killjoy, Tito. You did not even notify us. How dare you marry on your own without telling us? You promise me and Cheska to be one of the bridesmaids. What the hell?" Pamaywang niya. Hinawi niya lang ang buhok at iritang tinitigan ulit si Glenn.

"So, who's next in the line ba? Si tito Morris? My God! Kayong dalawa na nga lang ang lalaki sa angkan ng mga Silva-Mondragon, tapos mga baliw pa!" Naupo agad siya at saka kumain na.
