Chapter 11: War After Wedding

Cam's POV

"Malapit na ba tayo?" Tanong ko kay Quinn. Nag fifidget na ako sa upuan ko. Kinakabahan na talaga ako. I mean, hindi biro ang papasukin ko. This is marriage. I'll be married to this man whom I only knew a few weeks ago. This is too sudden. Kinakabahan ako pero may part na naeexcite ako. I have a mixed emotion right now.

"Almost there." He answered.

Maya-maya pa'y huminto na kami. Nauna siyang bumaba at inalalayan niya ako. Magkahawak- kamay kaming pumasok ng gusali.

Pumasok kami sa office ng judge and I saw a lady and a guy in a corner. Must be our witnesses. The lady is gorgeous. Very sophisticated ang dating. She seemed familiar. Parang nakita ko na siya. I don't know where. Gwapo din yung guy na katabi nito. Nakita kong tumayo ang dalawa at sinalubong kami.

"Sir." Narinig kong sabi nung lalaki. Tumango lang si Quinn. Humalik naman sa pisngi si Quinn sa babae.

"Guys. I want you to meet my soon-to-be-wife Cameron Galvez. Cam, this is Emerald, my cousin." Pagpapakilala nito sa akin. Kumunot ang noo ko sa pagkarinig ko sa pangalang Emerald. The name rings a bell. At parang may isang light bulb sa aking ulo.

"Emerald? The famous Seductive Temptress? Yung international model?" Sunod-sunod kong tanong. Napatawa ito ng bahagya at tumango.

"Nice to meet you." I extended my arms and she gladly took it.

"Same here." Nakangiti nitong sabi.

"And Cam, this is Geoff, my trusted secretary." pagpapakilala ni Quinn sa lalaki. Ngumiti ako at nakipag kamay kay Geoff.

"Hey Cam, do you mind if I borrow your groom first? May pag-uusapan lang kami since wala pa yung judge." Sabi ni Emerald.

"Sure."

Hinila nito palabas ng silid si Quinn at naiwan kami ni Geoff sa silid.

Emerald's POV

"Are you sure about this cousin?" Nababahala kong tanong sa kanya.

"You know I have to do this Em kundi mawawalan ng saysay ang lahat ng pinaghirapan ni Papa." Determinadong sagot nito sa akin.

"How about Chelsea?" Panunukat ko sa kanya. Nakita ko ang pagkuyom ng kamao at pagdilim ng mukha nito.

"I don't care about her anymore Em and you know that." He said in a dangerous manner.

"I don't really know what happened to both of you but I think Chelsea needs to know this. She's still expecting you to show up, you know. Though I don't really like her for you, she still have the right to know Quinn."

Blangko parin ang expression nito. Hanggang ngayon ay nagtataka pa rin ako sa pag-alis or rather pagtatago nito noon. Inurong pa nito ang sariling kasal sa nobya nito a day before their wedding. And I don't even know why. Ang alam ko mahal na mahal ng aking pinsan si Chelsea at hindi ko alam kung bakit inurong nito ang kasal. At kahapon tinawagan niya ako, asking me to be one of his witnesses sa kasal nito but not with Chelsea but with someone else!

"Let's not talk about her." He snapped.

"Okay. Okay." Pagsuko ko. " Anyways, your bride is gorgeous Quinn. I may not know her personally but I know she has a kind heart just by simply looking at her. Goodluck and best wishes dear cousin." I sincerely said and tapped him. " Oh ayan na pala si Ninong eh."

"Hi Ninong!" Lumapit ako sa judge na magkakasal kina Quinn at kissed him on the cheeks. He is my godfather at family friend din namin ni Quinn.

"Attrny. Soriano." Pakikipagkamay ni Quinn sa abogado.
