Chapter 5 - Mrs. Fortalejo

Chapter 5 - Mrs. Fortalejo

There's a girl standing in front a mirror, wearing a very beautiful gown and I can say that she's the most beautiful girl in the world right now. It's like a magic, she can't even recognize herself and she can't believe that she's that girl she's been staring at the mirror for a couple of minutes already. She might not be happy with this idea but at this very moment, she feels happy. "Stylists and make-up artists are really awesome! They're like the fairy godmother of Cinderella." she said to herself.

Then I heard the sound of cries, I looked around and saw that girl staring at the woman in front of her, shocked and frightened were written all over her face. "I'm so sorry hija." cried the woman. "I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry." she's now hugging her, comforting her while crying too.

I can't help myself but to cry. I pity her, I pity this bride and the groom's mom for they're crying out loud, sorrow is all I can feel just by watching these two.

*** Ledesma's Mansion...

"Wake up! wake up!" I opened my eyes and saw Eliza, she's sitting in my bed while trying to wake me up. "Oh god! You're having a nightmare." she exclaimed. Napaupo ako at tinitigan sya. "CC are you okay?" alalang tanong nya. Tumango naman ako, "Yes, I am. No need to worry about me." I assured her and gave her a faint smile.

"Haaay.. Ansaklap ng kapalaran mo CC, I'm lost for words." she heave a sigh. "Oh sya sige, maligo kana. I'll be waiting for you outside." tapos lumabas na sya. I closed my eyes once again, hanggang ngayon, nalulungkot pa rin ako para kay tita Andy. I can feel her agony, sabihin man nating I never met her son, I still care. I lost my mother and she lost her child, there's something about it that binds us. When I opened my eyes, a tear fell from my eyes. Tita Andy, tito Chard and kuya Ken, they're very nice to me and they're a good person and now, they're hurting for lossing him.. my husband.

Pagkatapos kong maligo, I dried my hair and looked for something to wear. Enrollment na kasi and 3rd yr. college na ako, yeah it's been 3 months since I came back from America, we stayed there for a month because of the incident. Hindi man natuloy ang kasal, may marriage contract namang nag-e-exist. They planned to dissolve it kasi ako daw yong argabyado sa nangyari but I refused. Why? Simply because, ayaw kong dumagdag sa problema nila. Tita Andy is so nice that I can't afford to hurt her, sobra na yong sakit na dinadala nya.

Her son died on a plane crash while heading in America for our wedding and how inconsiderate could I be if I leave them hanging? Hindi naman tumakbo yong groom ee, it's an accident. So, I have to do my part and one of the reason why I didn't agree is that, hindi pa nahahanap ang katawan ng anak nila. Well, many of the passengers body were not found even until now. And tita Andy is still hoping na buhay pa ang anak nya, eventhough sumuko na yong iba. Ako lang ang kakampi nya but I remembered her telling me that I can marry another guy and find my happiness, she'll never hold a grudge on me. Pero di ko sya sinagot, I'm still undecided.

Too much for the chit-chat. I grabbed a short jeans and a white loose printed-shirt na kita ang belly button ko. My hair is actually black, straight and shiny pero kinulot ko sa dulo, hanggang sa chest part, I even have bangs. I applied a light make up and wore a flat-sandals. I grabbed my smartphone and my wallet and dashed off my room.

** At the car...

Si CC yong nagmamaneho at nakaupo lang ako sa shotgun seat. When I told her what happened when I came back from America, she doesn't know how to react. Oppose man kami dati sa idea na yon, kakaiba pa rin ang impact sa'min nung pangyayari. Never in my dreams had I expected it to happen. We're heading to my new school, yeah, lilipat ako ng ibang school pero hindi kasama si CC. She have to stay for some personal reasons at naiintindihan ko naman yon. Sasamahan nya akong mag-enroll ngayon.
