My Serendipity

3: Wedding

Alaia's pov:

It's been six days when that nightmare happened, marami na ring nangyari, hindi ko pa rin kinakausap si daddy, pero i know na lahat ng preparations sa kasal ay sila ang nag-aayos kasama na rin ang lolo ni alessia na si don gabriel, i never attended even once, kahit pa sa wedding gown preparations ay hindi ako dumalo. Sila ang may gusto niyan, so bear with it.

Ilang araw ko na rin iniiwasan si koby, i don't have the strenght to break up with him, i love him, i'm scared that i'll break him into pieces. Until now, i can't still process in my head na ikakasal na ako bukas, araw-araw akong umiiyak sa kwarto ko, i hate my dad for forcing me in this marriage, i hate them all.

Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain nila seah and antea dito sa cafeteria, hindi ko rin sinabi ang mga nangyayari sa akin, i don't want anyone to know na ikakasal na ako, at lalong-lalo ayaw kong malaman nila na sa babae pa ako ikakasal.

"Girl, stop spacing out" - seah, habang winawagayway pa ang kamay sa harap ko, sumubo nalang ako sa cake na inorder ko, we're currently at the school cafeteria, dahil vacant naman namin

I shifted my attention to them, it looks like they wanted to ask me something, i arched my brow "what?" Nagtinginan naman silang dalawa at parang nagtuturuan pa kung sino ang magtatanong, napairap nalang ako, bahala sila. Andami ko nang iniisip.

"About rei's friend, what's her name again? Ali, alesa? Whatever her name is.
Aia, we've known you since freshmen, we never saw you intentionally bumping someone, and worst you spilled your drinks in her clothes, huh?" Antea said, habang pinaglalaruan ang cake na inorder niya, while seah, nakatingin lang sa akin ng seryoso. Since that day hindi ko na pinatahimik ang buhay ni alessia, i once spilled my coffee on her clothes, hindi lang iyon, binutas ko rin ang gulong ng kotse niya, ilang araw nang nagpapaulit-ulit ang mga gano'ng eksena namin, like i will act na i accidently bumped into her and spilled my drinks on her clothes.

"We will never tolerate bullying serena, tell us, what did she do to you?" Si seah, na nakataas na ang kilay sa akin ngayon, i rolled my eyes, i'm not the type to bully someone just because i hate them, i just want her to get mad at me, and tell his lolo to call off that stupid wedding. 'Yan lang kasi ang naiisip kong solusyon sa walang kwentang kasalan na mangyayari sa amin.

Tinignan ko ulit silang dalawa, i will never tell them my situation, "nothing, i just hate her, she's annoying" I lied.

"Ikaw pa ang may hate? Shouldn't she be the one who hates you right now?" Inikutan ko na nanaman sila ng mata

"i don't care" napa-hinga nalang sila ng malalim dahil sa mga walang kwentang sagot ko, i may look like a fucking childish college student right now, but i don't care. She deserved that.

"Mabuti nalang at mabait siya, she never once reported you, stop bullying her serene, baka mawala ang pagiging president's lister mo dahil lang "you hate her" kuno" mahabang pakiusap ni seah sa akin, right, that fucking president's lister, wala na akong gana, what's the point, mag-aasawa lang naman ako ng hindi ko mahal, fucking fucked up life!

What they've said is true, she never once reported me, hindi niya ako sinigawan or nagalit man lang, she'll just smile and drag rei with her.

that's why i despised her even more.

I know rei's mad at me for bullying her friend, naalala ko tuloy 3 years ago, rei and i were good, we're close. Not until she learned that i'm dating koby, she became distant to me, we once argued about koby, she wants me to break up with him, and i never listened to her, i love koby, at wala namang dahilan para hiwalayan ko siya, he's gentlemen. I wonder if alam na niya ang situation namin ng bestfriend niya, i'm expecting her to confront me but until now, it never happened.
