Teach Me How To Werewolf [COMPLETED]

Chapter 40 - Shotgun

(POV Gwenevere)

I was worried dahil biglang nawala si Kuya Tristan at si Elle after ng wedding lunch sa Grand Hall. Hindi ko akalain na itinakbo na ni Kuya Tristan ang kaibigan ko. Elle looks so much in love with kuya. Di na ko magtataka kung mag hohoneymoon talaga silang dalawa. It was indeed a blessing na kinagat ko si Elle at naging part siya ng family namin.

Hindi alam ni Elle, matagal ko na pinapadala ang picture niya kay Kuya Tristan. I like Elle, she's simple, down to earth, taklesa, crazy and very genuine. Isip bata madalas, pero mature kung mag-isip. She's perfect for Kuya Tristan na boring ang buhay.

Almost lahat ng characteristics at attributes ni Elle ay sinabi ko kay Kuya Tristan. I even sent him Elle's school record and background information. I told him before na wala akong tatanggapin na ibang sister in law kundi si Elle. This girl truly loves me and cares for me.

"Namutla ka na dyan. Asan daw sila?" tanong ni Lance sa akin habang palabas kami ng ancestral house ng mga Eriksson.

"I think they want to be alone. Just the two of them. Alam mo na, newlyweds thingy."

"Seriously?"

"Yep. Kuya Tristan is not exactly delighted when I called him. I think they are in the midst of their lovemakin---"

"Alright, Gwenevere, I get it. No need to discuss the details of their love making. Sasabay ka ba sa akin ngayon or hintayin mo pa ang kuya mo?"

"You know the answer to that. I don't think na makakauwi sila ng maagap bukas."

Naputol ang usapan namin ni Lancelot nang lumapit sa amin ang daddy ko at daddy ni Lancelot. They are best of friends, parang magkapatid. Kung hindi in love ang daddy ko sa mommy ko, iisipin ko may relasyon silang dalawa.

"Well well well. Lancelot and Gwenevere. It's good to see both of you together. Lucien, tingin ko we will have another werewolf wedding soon," sabi ng daddy ko sabay akbay kay Lancelot.

I just looked at Lancelot as if saying sorry in advance. I know these two men, they are fond of match making. Sila ang biggest fan ng Lancelot and Gwenevere love team.

"Tyrone, I would be the happiest father kapag nangyari yun. Alam mo naman na pangarap ko maging daughter-in-law si Gwenevere," dagdag ni Uncle Lucien sabay tapik sa shoulder ng anak niya.

"They look so sweet like two little love birds. Do you think they are already together without our knowledge?" tanong ni daddy kay Uncle Lucien.

"Definitely, they are keeping their relationship in low profile."

Relationship? Friend nga lang ang turing ni Lancelot sa akin eh! Assuming ang dalawang matandang werewolf na ito!

"Dad, Uncle Lucien, nag-uusap lang po kami ni Lancelot kung sasabay ako sa kanya or kay Kuya Tristan bukas pabalik sa Pilipinas. Mali kayo ng iniisip. Wala kaming relasyon ni Lancelot," sabi ko agad sa kanilang dalawa.

Matagal na sila umaasa na kami magkakatuluyan ni Lancelot pero di naman ako mahal ng lalakeng ito. They are both hopeless, just like me.

"I guess we have to wait, Lucien. Di pa natatauhan ang anak mo."

"Tyrone, I think kailangan ng gumawa ng drastic moves ng anak mo. She can seduce my son, di naman siya tatanggihan ni Lancelot."

"That is a nice suggestion. That will surely seal the wedding, pero pakipot ang anak ko. I don't think she will seduce Lance. Mahal niya ang anak mo noon pa. Can we just ask Meshach and Hezekiah to marry them against their will? What do you think, Lucien?"

"Fuck you, brother! That's a great idea. You're the smartest man I know. Bakit di ko naisip yan dati?"

Marry us against our will? Kaloka ang iniisip nila!

"Dad, we can hear your ridiculous conversation. Itigil niyo ang mga diabolical plans niyo sa amin ni Gwenevere. We are good friends," natatawang sabi ni Lancelot.

Good friends. Hanggang doon lang ang relasyon namin ni Lancelot. Minahal ko na siya noon pa, pero alam ko na hindi niya kayang suklian ang pagmamahal ko. Di na sumagot ang mga daddy namin at iniwan na lang kami ni Lancelot. Knowing these two old men, malamang kakausapin talaga nila si Meshach at Hezekiah para sa maitim nilang balak.

"I am sorry, Lancelot. Alam mo naman na makulit ang daddy ko. Don't worry, worse comes to worst, di ako papayag sa balak nilang shotgun wedding."

"Sanay na ko sa kanila, Gwenevere. But let me tell you this, sooner or later makakahanap sila ng butas para ipakasal ka sa akin. I want you to be prepared for that scenario."

"Lancelot, di ko gagawin sayo yun. Alam ko na hindi mo ko mahal. I don't want you to suffer sa isang wedding na hindi mo ginusto."

"Mahal mo naman ako di ba?" nakangiti niyang tanong sa akin.

Oo, Lance. Mahal kita, noon hanggang ngayon!

"That's not the point, Lance. They are talking about a forced werewolf wedding. You will be tied to me for the rest of your immortal life."

"Come on, Gwenevere. Di ba pangarap mo yun? And besides, bakit hindi natin pagbigyan ang dalawang matandang yun para sumaya naman sila. As I have said, we are good friends. It is just a wedding. We can be both professionals."

He is right, pangarap ko na maikasal sa kanya, pero mas pipiliin ko na mangyari yun kung mahal niya ako.
