Chapter 3
[Sandro's]
Nakatingin lang sya kay Georgina habang masaya itong nakikipagkwentuhan kay Nisha. Andito na sila sa reception at kanina pa nya ito pinagmamasdan at tila ba hindi sya nagsasawa. Why she's so Goddamn pretty tonight. Bagay na bagay ang suot nitong light blue na dress.
He can say that Georgina changed a bit. From her looks to the way she moves. Everything's change about her. And maybe including her feelings for him.
Nonetheless, she's still the old Georgina he met ages ago. She's still the woman he loved.
"Baka matunaw."
Napaigtad sya ng may biglang nagsalita sa kanyang gilid. Pagtingin nya ang pinsan niya pala. Ashton chuckled at umupo ito sa kanyang tabi."Ikaw pala. Anyway, congrats bro."
He congratulated him at nakipag-fist bump siya rito.He's happy for his cousin. He knew how much Ashton loves Nisha. Buong buhay ata nito ay kaya nitong itaya para sa babaeng pinakamamahal na ngayon ay asawa na nito. Well, Ashton is one lucky asshole. Why Nisha is one fine woman that could any guy wish for. Kaya kung sya din ang nasa katayuan ni Ashton ay baka itaya din nya ang buong buhay nya makasama lang si Nisha. But well, Nisha is for his cousin and he has his own fine woman.
"Thank you, bro. How about you? Kailan ka ba ikakasal? Tita's so excited about your marriage."
Natatawang saad naman nito sa kanya.Nangingiting napailing naman sya habang sumisimsim sya sa kanyang tequila. Marriage is not included in his plan right now.
"Wala pa sa plano ko ang magpakasal. I haven't met the right woman for me."
He said as he shrugged his shoulder."Really bro? Or you already met the right woman but you just let her go?"
Ashton said.Tinignan nya ito at nakita nya itong nakangisi. As if thinking that he had the right guessing. Afterward, he looks at Georgina who's holding a glass of wine right now. Sipping on her drink. She's still talking to Nisha na kumakain naman.
Di sya umimik at napailing na lamang sya ulit. Di nya alam sa sarili nya kung tama ba ang sinabe ng pinsan nya o hindi. Alam naman nya kasi na ang tinutukoy nito ay si Georgina.
Naalala nya tuloy yung sinabe nya rito kanina sa wedding ceremony. What if they didn't break up, maybe they are also married.
He doesn't know what's gotten on his mind at nasabi niya ang mga katagang iyon kay Georgina. Hindi naman sya lasing that time. Maybe he's too overwhelmed kaya niya nasabi iyon.
"Kung mahal mo pa, make a move to have her again. Hindi yung hanggang tanaw ka na lang."
Narinig nyang saad muli ng pinsan niya.Muli syang napatingin rito at nakita nya itong nakatingin sa gawi nila Nisha. There's a grin plaster on his face.
"Shut up bro. Epekto ba yan ng bagong kasal? Pfft."
Biro nya at mahina syang tumawa.Tumingin naman sa kanya si Ashton. Hindi nawawala ang mapaglarong ngiti sa mga labi nito.
"Douchebag. I'll better get back to my wife kesa samahan ka ritong tumanaw ng tumanaw kay Georgina. Where's the playful Sandro? Mukhang na-tamed ni George ah. Pfft dyan ka na nga."
Natatawang saad nito at umalis na ito pabalik sa asawa nito.
