✔️Arranged Marriage (COMPLETED)

Chapter 43

A month had past at ngayon lang ako lumabas nang bahay. Kung hindi ba naman dahil sa gago kong kaibigan na kauuwi lang nang pilipinas ay di rin ako lalabas nang bahay. But for some reasons it's good to see the outside world again.

I went to the bar. All my friends are there. Years had past and yet they are still the same. Babae pa rin ang pinagkaka abalahan. Bastards!

Pagkapasok ay sinalubong agad ako nang amoy nang alak at madaming babae. Maybe if i was still the same Vin ay manghahagilap agad ako nang babae, but I've changed. I've always been this loyal and faithful to my wife kahil matagal na siyang wala. Kahit na magpaka lango ako sa alak at may lumapit saking babae ay di pa rin ako madadala. Umurong na yata si junior simula nang mawala siya. Damn! Kahit dito ay siya pa rin ang nasa isip ko. Tumawa ako nang mapakla. Baliw na yata talaga ako. Tsk.

Agad akong natauhan nang may tumapik sa balikat ko. Muntik pa akong mapatalon sa gulat. Kung hindi ba naman kasi ako gago't masyado nanamang preoccupied ang utak ko.

" tol! It's good to see you! " he hugged me. " how are you? " gusto ko sana siyang sagutin nang 'heto wasak' but then i said " I'm good. Perfectly fine. "

Wala naman kasing tao na sasabihin na hindi sila okay. It's always the other way around.

Ford is a friend of mine. Simula high school ay tropa kami. Until their family move to Switzerland, but we made sure that we keep each other posted.

" tol okay ka lang ba talaga? " he asked again. He really knows me. He's my bestfriend. I just smile.

" yep! Ako pa! " but he just sigh.

" kung di pa ako umuwi ay di ka pa lalabas sa lungga mo. Hindi ka rin nag tetext sakin. " pagtatampo niya. Natawa ako.

" tangina tol! Bading ka ba? " i don't want to look miserable in from of him. Natawa naman siya.

" pero seriously masaya akong makita ka ngayon. " he tapped my shoulder. I know he's only concern about me. " tara. Inom tayo! "

Iginiya niya ako sa papunta sa mga kaibigan namin. It's like the old times. Nung nagbubulakbol pa kami at pupunta sa bar at mambababae. Damn those days!

" Vin! Bro. Buti naman at nakarating ka. " one of my friend says.
" I'm sorry about your wife dude. " the other one said.
" let's cheers for Vin! " sabi pa nung isa.

I just smiled at them. Kahit ang gagago nila ay natutuwa pa rin akong makita sila.

" Ford dragged me here and i can't say no to him. Kaya let's cheers for Ford and to his unlucky future wife! " pagbibiro ko sa kanila. I took the shots placed on the table and drink all of it.

" gago! Ang swerte kaya non sakin! " i heard ford said. Nagtawanan na lang kaming lahat.

When the night goes deep and everyone seems wasted ay humiwalay na ako nang upo sa kanila. Parang immune na ang katawan ko sa alak at hindi na ako tinatablan. I went at the bar counter then sit there. I ordered the strongest shot they could offer. Naramdaman ko namang sumunod sakin ang kaibigan ko.

" you really okay? " he asked me while ordering vodka.

" no. I'm not. " i said.

" yeah. I can see it. You look wasted. Mukha ka nang mama tol! " uhuh! I know that too. I even grew a beard at mahaba na rin ang buhok ko.

" gwapo pa rin naman. " biro ko. He laughed then he became serious.

" try to moved on dude! 29 ka pa lang naman. Ang daming babae dyan! "

" I'm not interested. " i said right away. He sighed.

Konting katahimikan until he broke the silence.

" anyway. I've seen your cousin. " cousin? Tiningnan ko siya with questioning look.

" cousin? " di ko na napigilang itanong.

" yeah. Si Dustin. Nagkasabay kami nang flight pabalik dito sa pilipinas. " nangunot ang noo ko.

" nagbibiro ka ba? I'm not into your jokes bro! " i told him. Fuck him! Kasabay nang pagkawala nang asawa ko ay ang pagkamatay niya rin.

" ba't naman ako magbibiro? " sabi niya. " and even saw her wife. Damn! She has a gorgeous wife! " Natigilan ako. What is he talking about?

" matagal nang patay si Dustin tol! 5 years ago. "
Baka nagkakamali lang siya?

" i can't be mistaken. Nagkausap pa nga kami and i even talk to her wife. " parang bumara yung lalamunan ko. What the hell?

Wala ni isang lumabas na salita sa bibig ko. Hindi rin ako pwedeng magkamali. I saw them both dead. We even cremated their body kasi sunog na sunog yung katawan nila. So why tell me na buhay si Dustin?

" are you okay tol? " pagaalala niya. Tumango lang ako.

" d-did you really see him? " i asked. I still can't believe it.

" I'm not lying dude! Believe me. " he seems serious.

" h-he... " i dont know how to ask for it. " .. he h-has a w-wife? " fuck it! Why do i stutter?

" uhuh! "

" what d-does she look likes? " holy crap! i am getting nervous. Natigilan naman siya at animoy nagiisip.

" she's beautiful. I think she's French. Yah! She's French. "

" french? "

" yep! She speaks fluently french when she talks to their children. And tol ang ganda niya sobra! "

" children? M-may anak sila? " shit! Why do i get this feeling?

" a son and a daughter. Fuck it tol! You look like their son. With those grey eyes and curly hair. Parang ikaw yung kamukha hindi yung pinsan mo! " tumawa pa siya while i lose my breath.

I'm trying to fill the lost air in my lungs. I can't exactly breathe. Parang nawala rin ang tama nang alak na ininom ko. Holy shit! Nananaginip lang ba ako?

" what does her wife look like? " i asked him again. Wala na yata ako sa sarili at masyado nang nalunod sa pagiisip.

Agad naman siyang nagsalita. " she's tiny. Maybe 5'2 in height. Petite. She has a pinkish white skin. Ash blonde hair. A mole in her left chin and a grey eyes just like yours. " that's when my world suddenly stops.

Holy crap! That is my wife!

Itutuloy...

Happy now? Ang dami kasing nagdaramdam. Hahaha.
