Tangled Ropes

Chapter: 15

I was getting ready for the premiere night. Iniwan ko sina Kassia at Khan sa hotel kasama si Yaya Daisy. Nasa baba na ang mga magulang ko and they were welcoming some guests. I looked over my son when he crawled towards me. In 3 months they'll turn 1 na. My gosh, sobrang bilis ng panahon.

I put on my pearls and wore my hair down since it was very wavy and long. I kissed my children goodbye then went to the elevator. Nagulat ako when Aire was inside.

"Naka check-in ka rin sa hotel?" I asked.

"Ahh yes, may event kami here kanina." Okay.. "Nasaan pala ang mga bata? Hindi mo ba kasama?"

"Oh, nasa room kasama si Yaya. If you want to visit them ay pwede naman mamaya after the movie."

"Alright."

The elevator door opened kaya mabilis akong naglakad palabas to look for my parents. My gosh, naka off b yung aircon?

"Bakit pawisan ka?" Mommy asked.

"Naka off yung aircon?"

"Anak, super lamig nga tignan mo si Daddy mo nag-yeyelo na." She said. "Saan ka ba galing?"

"Nowhere." I answered.

The event started with some known facts about me.

"The woman who started this all has two beautiful children who she dedicates this entire movie to. Before we introduce her to you might we call on Mr. Aire Rodis for a special award for tonight."

I stared at Aire as he accepted the award from the host and took the mic.

"I would also love to dedicate this to my twins, Kassia and Khan, and to their beautiful mother." He smiled as I felt my heart racing.

Nag-simula na ang movie and it opened up with the male lead's perspective of being a known cold-hearted person. He glanced over the female character and described her as soft and pure. The story progressed with everything that happened between me and Aire.

They almost signed the divorce papers until the female character got sick and ran to the bathroom to vomit.

"Rahn.. buntis ako."

The movie ended with that line kaya nagpalakpakan ang mga tao. I was finally called on stage to say a few things about my movie.

"Well, the movie itself was written out of spite and is really a good topic on love and marital agreements." I explained. "The ending had a cliff hanger on wether the baby inside was a boy or girl or something but the full detail of the ending was at the very beginning when the male lead gave the female a ₱30,000 cheque. It symbolized triplets."

I heard a bunch of whispers about what I just explained.

"Why did you decide to end it that way?" Someone asked.

"Well, it was not a good solution. If the marriage is just for convenience then hiwalayan agad but Melissa, the main character, lived in the sense that she was capable of changing how her husband saw her. How she used the divorce to scare him into finding out if he really loved her or not. The babies were representing the 3 important principles of marriage. Love, Respect and Acceptance. All 3 were shown when the male lead was tormented with divorce."

"But divorce is not legal here in the philippines." One said.

"Yet." I answered. "But as the story goes they were married in another country where divorce was in fact legal."

I had answered a few more questions regarding the movie itself. After that ay nag party na kaming mga nasa event hall.

I was looking for Aire since I promised na he could visit the babies.

"Luxiana, congrats sa movie!" He said and hugged me.

"Thanks. Do you want to see the twins now?"

Tumango siya at sumama sa akin sa elevator.

"I like your dress." He said as he looked at me.

"Thank you." I answered.

To be honest, everything feels hot when I am in a closed space with Aire. I was trying to contain my emotions but I couldn't control it when his hand brushed against my arm.

I looked at Aire and he was staring at me already. I wanted to look away but his eyes captured me. He leaned forward and kissed me. Oh my gosh.
