We Got Married

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

I entered the ballroom alone.

Gusto sana ni Cam and Kabe na escort-an ako pero sabi ko wag na.

Nauna lang sila sakin ng bahagya.

Pinagtitinginan ako pag pasok ko.

Sino ba namang hindi titingin sakin eh ang ganda ko?

I'm wearing a figure hugging Greek-inspired violet gown.

I saw the decorations. It was Snowflake-Themed. White, Silver and Blue all over.

I looked around and saw familiar faces.

Yung iba from prominent families, yung iba naging clients ko, some are family friends.

Andaming naggi-greet sakin.

I saw my family in the Presidential table, expecting me to come and sit with them. My mom and Bianca smiled at me and I smiled back. My father just looked at me at tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay.

Katabi nila yung mga Lopez, only without Xander. Tito Ramon smiled at me, and I smiled back. Hindi na ko tumingin sa ibang myembro ng pamilya nya, maiinis lang ako.

Hindi ako tumabi sa kanila, bastos na kung bastos but I don’t care.

I texted Xander and he said na antagal nung mga kameeting nya and that he’d ditch it if they don’t come any time soon. I told him to ditch them now.

I sat with my friends to atleast apease me. Kinakabahan talaga ko ng sobra.

The Presidential table above the stage has two vacant seats. The fact na para samin yun ni Xander amused me. How rebellious of us.

The food is good as always. Kaso tapos na yung dinner wala pa din si Xander. Antagal naman nya!!!!

“The hell Xander, where are you?” I nervously said.

“Parating na yun” sabi ni Kabe sakin.

I drank another champagne to calm my nerves.

I was left alone at the table after magbukas nung dancefloor. Andaming yumayaya sakin na makipag-sayaw but I declined. Not gonna dance with anybody but Xander.

I texted him but he hasn’t replied yet. Medyo nagaalala na ko.

"You're in a party Andrea, not in a funeral" biglang may tumabi sakin.

Pagtingin ko si Aries pala. Well, he looks good. Lalo ko tuloy namiss si Xander.

"Should I laugh?" sabay ubos ko nung champagne ko.

"Can I have a dance with you?” tanong nya sakin, offering his hand.

“Sorry I don’t dance” I replied.

“You're Dad asked me to. And he told me to escort you later because he would be making a very important announcement" he insisted.

I snorted at that. Inirapan ko lang yung ginawa nya’t tumayo na.

"Yeah, that'll happen" then I started walking.

Aalis na ko.

It's pointless to be here since wala naman si Xander dito. Antagal tagal naman kasi nung lalakeng yun eh.

I heard Aries following me, but the hell I care. F*ck this stupid party.

Tumigil yung music at nakita kong nagsi-upuan na lahat.
