The make- up team was there when I went out. They were complete, not a single cent in this so called wedding came out from the money my parents have. The Teves made a big deal for this. They really want me for their son. In which I don’t really like. Yeah! I don’t like him. Even he is the last guy on this earth who is walking. I hate his attitude and worst how he perceives himself, he is the ultimate self-conscious person who thinks he is the most handsome person walking on earth. Come on please! I started to get partial dressed and readied myself in the mirror. The team started working on me, I wish this was really my dream wedding but it was not. Then I remember how I got into this unloved and unwanted wedding.
***FLASH BACK***
I went home, to my parents’ house. They wanted me to come, I know it was a long drive away from my place. I lived in Quezon City and my parents they lived in Antipolo. Of course, as a lady driving late at night was quite dangerous especially those curvy roads going up to Antipolo was a challenge adds to its I’m driving my old car. Dad’s graduation gift to me back then during my high school grad. It was a quite an old model plus it is manual. For me this is the best car that I have right now compared to the automatic car dad just gave me recently for my birthday present. I actually don’t value things that I think I don’t need. Usually I’m dressed in simple clothes, so I can move any way I want but not for tonight, I’m wearing one of my dresses that is like 2 inches above my knees. And while I’m driving I am wearing nothing on my feet. I got tired wearing heels after all it was traffic and I’m driving.
I don’t even know how I was able to go back home despite my heavy schedule. Super thanks to my bestfriend/ secretary/co-owner of sweet experience coffee shop and fluff cake shop/ gym buddy/coffee addict buddy/ sister from another mother in some other time; Venus. Yes, her name is Venus, well it suits her, she’s really beautiful but I think she doesn’t recognize it. She’s too busy to bother herself up to fix herself. Despite the increasing numbers of suitors visiting the shop and flower bouquets my staff has been putting around the shop. At first you might think this is a flower shop not a coffee and pastry shop due to the flower arrangements we have. So far, so good the business we are running meaning Venus, me and Jayce are doing great. We are on our 3rd year. We have 2 branches of each of the shops we own. Yes, all of us are women, with own ideas and personalities still we commit to this running our businesses together like we planned back on our high school days.
As soon as I reach the house of my parents, I don’t get it why it was so bright. I know it’s like few weeks from now it would be Christmas. That’s why people in my bakeshops and coffee shops are so busy like bees, even I am so busy. Haist, Venus, I’ll talk to you after this, I’ll make you go on vacation atleast a week. That’s what I was saying on my head. I parked properly parallel parking, thanks to dad for teaching me to do it perfectly like a man. I got my shoulder bag, put on my shoes, add some color to my lips and sprayed perfume. I got the boxes I brought from the shop. I baked this before I went here. I head out my car and went straight to our house.
Our house helper, Manang Ising, was there, she’s old already, she was my nanny before. She was always there when my parents were away. She is the one who taught me life was not easy and being a princess today won’t last long, if I won’t learn to socialize, mingle and reach out I won’t remain to be a princess for my family. She taught me to how hand washes my clothes, wash the plates, clean the house without a vacuum cleaner and all. But what I loved the most was our cooking sessions. She is the reason why I love to cook aside from being an owner of 2 shops I also work as a pastry chef in the shop.
Even though I am one of the owners, I still work, just like every ordinary employee I have in the shop. I try to help them as much as I can. I don’t want to hear my staff having problems in the kitchen especially. This is my forte, Jayce, she is more focused on our menus, theme for each month and product choices. Venus on the other hand is the one taking care of the promotion, product testing or actually food testing and paper works. While I work on the supplies, management of staff, and the food we bring out to the customers. This is how we work out. We never fail on each part we play. That’s why our team never fall apart easily like the others.
“Manang nasaan po sina Mama?” tanong ko kay manang. “Andun sila sa dining area anak, nako kanina ka pa nila inaantay. Anak naman saan ka ba nagsusuot at ginabi ka na masyado?” Ganyan si Manang Ising sa akin, para na niya akong anak. “pasensya na po nay! Di bale ako na bahala doon! Ako pa!” I was about to walk biglang “anak halika muna dito, baba ka ng kaunti di ko abot and ulo mo.” Ginawa ko naman yung sinabi ni manang. Sabay pagpag sa buhok ko. “ Anak may harina pa yung buhok mo, di ka padin nagbabago” tawa ni manang pagkatapos. Natatawa ako pero narining ko may papalapit.
I look around it was my sister Lizzie, I hugged her tight! “please don’t go in there please Anya!” she was begging me not to go in there. “why? What did you this time? Di ba I told you no crazy antics this time. Lizzie malaki ka na, I won’t be here always to catch you and save you.” “Ate hindi naman yun yun eh, ayoko magpakasal ka sa mukhang palaka na lalaki na yun. Paano yung mga magiging pamangkin ko. They would all look like frogs. Sayang naman ang lahi natin” I can’t help myself, I started laughing, ‘Coz I wasn’t really getting what Lizzie is saying.
I went straight into the dining hall, and hold and behold. For the first time, it was as if I saw a talking frog infront of me. “EJ, yan na pala ang anak nina Mr. and Mrs. Tan, she is Anya, and she is your soon to be wife”
***End of flashback***
I don’t know how to escape this especially now, I’m counting the hours left for me being single and being Ms. Tan, the single woman who is so smart ass! Ughh! I don’t like to get married. Any guy Lord! Please not just him. I know him and I won’t ever like to fall in love with a guy who is in greed of money.
