The reception as expected was magnificent. Everything was so dreamy and probably costly but who cares, her husband is so damn rich and she can't complain. It was held in one of his resort property where she works. Every employee congratulated her, some where outspoken about how happy they are about the wedding but others raised their brows especially those women that's been trying to tie her husband.
Even her friends were at awe at how luxurious her wedding and reception was. Sherry kept talking how damn lucky she was while Ethylle can't help her mouth shut about how much does everything cost. Ivelynne just took pictures of any interesting things her eyes caught on. Her parents seemed afraid to touch anything which kept Lance telling them that there's nothing to be afraid of.
But during the middle of the party, her friend Sherry seems not herself. She kept glancing at her watch, probably because her boyfriend was still not at the reception.
She excused herself and went to her friends table, she knew her other friends noticed Sherry's discomfort.
"Hey, wala pa rin ba si Mark?" bungad niya.
She smiled weakly. "No idea. Baka busy sa trabaho or may inaasikasong importante."
Ehtylle butted in. "For real? I thought napag-usapan niyo na yan? Na dadalo talaga siya sa kasal ni Crissy?"
Napabuntong hininga naman si Ivelynne. "Hindi ba siya nagtext sayo?"
"Kanina ko pa nga siya tine-text at tawag pero hindi ko siya makontak, hindi rin siya nagre-reply ng text ko."
"Hay! Naku naman talaga, nakaka-bad mood siya. Kasal ko pa naman ngayon at ayaw kong ma-stress, pero dahil sa lalaking yan, naha-high blood ako."
Sherry tried to calm her. "It's okay, forget about him, enjoy you're wedding. The bride should be celebrating her special day."
"Kapag dumating yang si Mark, ipapalapa ko siya nina Siberian at Husky." Ethylle cooed her Siberian huskies which was present on her wedding. Natupad talaga ang gusto nitong isama ang mga aso. Instead of having a partner during their walk on the aisle, ang kapartner nito ay ang dalawang aso.
Biglang may kumalabit sa balikat niya. Her friend Jhon Nelle. "Hoy, bakla kumusta ang kasal niyo ni fafa Lance?"
"Heh! Akala naman nito wala siya sa wedding. Alam kong alam mo na anong nangyari sa kasal." Nakasimangot na turan niya.
"Hey Nelle, may tanong ako." Ethylle.
"Magkakilala kayo?" tanong niya sa mga ito.
"Yup. Ang ingay niya kasi nung kasal niyo. Panay tili." Natatawang kwento ni Ethylle.
"Hoy, bruha, huwag mo akong ibuking. Nakakahiya." Protesta ni Jhon Nelle.
Tumawa sila. "At nahiya ka pa talaga, kaninang sumisigaw ka hindi ka naman nahiya ah, ngayon pa talaga?" Sherry.
"Iba yung kanina, iba naman ngayon." Jhon Nelle.
"Pareho rin yun." Ivelynne.
"By the way, bakit late kayo ni fafa Lance kanina? Anong ginawa niyo." May malisyang tanong ni Jhon Nelle.
That perked her friends attentions. She blushed.
"Uy, nagbla-blush ang bride. Something fishy guro ang ginawa niyo 'no?" pangungulit ni Jhon Nelle.
"Ano ba, wala kaming ginagawang something fishy, okay? Kumain lang kami nang siomai sa tabi ng daan. Nag-crave kasi ako ng makita ko ang mga stall ng siomai."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ng kaibigan lalo na si Jhon Nelle. "OMG! Buntis ka na ba? Bakit ka nagki-crave?"
Napabuntong-hininga siya. "Hindi ako buntis. At alam niyo yan" sabay sa tingin sa mga kaibigan.
