TB'SW ♥ 44: Hidden Romance

Kabanata 44

The plans for our wedding was going smoothly. Panay ang buntong hininga ko dahil sa bigat ng aking pakiramdam. Sooner or later, it's going to be the end of my happy ending.

“Next week will be the biggest event in business industry, Erza. It's our wedding after all. Me, as a tycoon, and You, as Napoleon's daughter. ” Alstriem said while sipping in his glass of wine.

Tumango lamang ako. I pursed my lips in anticipation. I wanted to run from these. Mas lumalala ang kaba ko at takot tuwing pinapaalala sa akin ni Sir Alstriem ang nalalapit na kasal.

The fuck. I can't even dare to think that it is my decision that made me this way. This is stupid. Very stupid.

Agreeing on Napoleon's threats made me think that I was very weak. O damn! Ang sama-sama niyang maglaro.

Tumango lamang ako sa sinabi ni Sir Alstriem at kaagad na ininom ang wine sa aking kopeta.

All of the preparations were perfect. Busy halos lahat ng staffs to manage it. The wedding is themed in Ancient Greece were the God's and Goddesses in Mount Olympus used to held their parties and weddings.

Alstreim really planned it all. Feeling ko nga, kung mahal ko lang siya, ako na ang pinakamaswerteng babae sa balat ng lupa.

But, sad to say. That would never happen. I am destined to be dumbfounded. I am destined to be hurt.

And about Jellal? I’ve heard that he's near. Natatakot ako na masira ang planong ito. Napoleon held me tightly on the neck, that I almost can't breathe.

“I know you will regret this, Erza. But let me remind you. That has no affect in me. You will be my wife, and you will be the mother of our children. ” wika ni Sir Alstreim.

Napatingin ako sa kaniyang sinabi. Bigla nalang siyang nagsalita ng ganoon ka seryoso. Wala naman akong sinasabi. But he has a point. Sooner, I will be going to regret this fucking decision.

“Sure.. ” ako at ibinaling sa ibang bagay ang aking atensyon. I don't want to see how happy he is when he knows that his brother was hurting by now. He knows all about me and Jellal yet, he doesn't care. How heartless.

Hindi nagtagal ang aming pag-uusap ni Sir Alstriem. It's been our routine since the day they've announce the wedding.

Kailangan ko pa’ng mag-ayos dahil mamayang gabi gaganapin ang engagement.

I was in the dressing room, watching my self in trio mirror. Maraming bakla ang nasa aking likod, inaayos lahat ng dapat ayusin sa aking sarili.

Hindi na halos mabilang kung ilang beses akong napabuntong hinga ngayong araw na ito.

“Madame! Ang ganda-ganda niyo huh! ” the make-up artist said while putting on my lipstick. It's dark red. Or should I say, bloody Mary in color. Katulad na katulad sa kulay ng buhok ko.

“Thank you. ” ako.

“Bakit parang hindi naman kayo masaya! Ang swerte-swerte niyo nga e! Si Lacxous Alstriem Grayfaurd ang mapapangasawa niyo e ang dami-daming linta ang adik na adik dun! Hihihihi” ang hairstylist naman ngayon.

I wanted to answer them and tell them the truth. But like who I am in the past. Nanahimik nalang ako para walang gulo.

“Some people thinks that happiness can be found in things that was glowing. Also,  some people thinks that happiness can be found in love. I am happy for what I have. I am contented. But sometimes, we need to sacrifice our own happiness just to make another's happiness come true. That's life. ” I said at isang malalim na buntong hininga na naman ang pinakawalan.
