His Replacement Bride (Under Revision)

Chapter 6

— A S H L E Y —

"Welcome Everyone, we are here  to witness this very special moment of Ashley and Alexander life. They are going to be united by holy bond of marriage.  This special moment will remain intact in the memory of the Ashley and Alexander forever. I Will also be engraved in our memory''

Pag uumpisa ng pari sa serimonya. Naririnig ko lang asiya perp hindi ko talaga naiintindihan. All I was cared about is the thought of me in this situation. ikakasal na ako. I don't know how to act or how to think.

"Marriage means constantly falling in love with the same person again and again . The courtship does not end when you married the person you love. Your partner is not a trophy, right after you won it, you will just display it as proof of your hardship or as a title...''

Napaiwas ako ng tingin sa sinabi ni father. Marriage means falling in love with the same person again and again. So in our situation, we cannot call this as a marriage? This is total loveless marriage! He does not love me neither  I am too. 

We were just trapped in this arrangement because we don't have any choice. Buti pa yung lady sa Mayonnaise may Choice. Charot.

Napatingin ako kay Xander. He's handsome pero lately ko lang natuklasan yung kagaspangan ng ugali niya. Lumabas yun nung nawala si ate. So is he just pretending just to impress my sister? Well sorry not sorry because it doesn't work to Ate Hayley. She's to blind of her love for James and she couldn't see Xander's effort.

tiningnan ko ang mata niya na hindi ko mawari kung saan nakatingin. Sa akin ba o sa likod ko. I don't care where he was looking at. I was busy checking his manly features. Makapal na kilay, matangos na ilong, mahahabang pilikmata, manipisn na labi at ang nga mata niyang masungit.

Yung tipo ng taong ayaw mong biruin kasi baka sapakin ka bigla. Nakakahulog ng panti yung ganitong itsura. Buti na lang naka cycling ako, kung hindi...

Ewan ko na lang talaga.

Nahuli niya akong nakatingin ako sa kanya, kaya naman ngumisi ang kaliwang bahagi ng labi niya. Talent niya yun. Ang galing!

"Gwapong-gwapo ka na ba sakin?" Napairap ako sa kahambogan niya. "Feeler." Yun lang ang nasabi ko bahagya naman siyang tumawa.

"Ashley and Alexander you have made a very serious and important decision in choosing to marry each other today you are entering the married life...."

Choosing a decision?  Hindi ako ang nagdecision nito!  As if my choice kamibg tumanggi? Si father mema lang ata. Napairap ako. Nakita ko na ngumiti si Xander like alam niya kung anong iniisip ko.

"Alexander, will you take Ashley to be your lawfully wife , to live together as friend and mate?  Will you love her as a person, respect her as an equal, sharing joy as well as sorrow and triumph as well as defeat. And keep her beside you as long as you both shall live?'' Tanong ng pari ka Xander.

"I do'' sagot niya na wala manlang imosyon. Which is total opposite of what I dreamt in my supposed to be future husband.

Kumirot ang puso ko. This life is so unfair! Kung alam ko lang na ganito ang mangyayari sana inenjoy ko muna ang buhay single ko!

"Ashley , will you take Alexander to be your lawfully husband , to live together as friend and mate??  Will you love him as a person, respect him as an equal, sharing joy as well as sorrow and triumph as well as defeat. And keep him beside you as long as you both shall live?"

Nakatingin ako kay Xander, he was looking at me like I am going to do something not good. My heartaches for the thought of marrying someone who's not in love with me.
