Chapter 20: The Hospital Rush
Bryan's POV
Nagising ako dahil sa ingay ni Brix. I opened my eyes at hinanap si Brix. Nakatayo siya sa may cabinet at may hawak na dalawang tuxedo. A blue and a black one.
"Early this morning and you're now worrying about your looks? Get over yourself, Brix. Let me sleep" I groaned and turned my back pero bigla niyang hinawakan ang balikat ko at hinarap sakanya
"Brother, please! Blue ang motif diba? Just wear blue!" sigaw ko habang nakapikit and he frowned
"Eh kasi naman, Bryan. Look, I'm more handsome in a simple black tuxedo pero blue ang motif what should I do?" tanong niya at umupo ako saka siya hinarap
"Blue" I retorted and went out the room
When I reached the dining area nakita ko sina Mom, Dad and Tito na kumakain. Tita might be somewhere near her parents. They still follow the old times.
"Good morning, Mom, Dad and Tito" I said at umupo sa tabi nila
"Good morning, Bryan. But why are you still in pajamas? The wedding ceremony is merely an hour away. You should get ready. Where is your brother?" tanong ni Dad at humikab muna ako bago nagsalita
"He's up----"
"Morning everyone!" sigaw ng isang energetic na boses
"Morning, Brix. Come join us." Tito invited him over
When he sat next to me, he glared and stared daggers at me. I ignored him and continued eating my breakfast.
"By the way, one of you should come with your Tito. He needs help with something." Mom said and Brix looked at me
"I'll go." Brix said and Mom nodded
"Behave, Brix. I don't want your Tito to have a headache just an hour before his wedding. Be a helpful and good kid while your with Tito." Mom said and Tito laughed
"You are still strict as before. You never let anyone off your hook. Anyways, get ready, Brix. Wear a simple clothing. We'll not go there to smell bad. And bring your tuxedo with you kasi doon na tayo magbibihis. Well, I'll go upstairs to pack my things" Tito said and we all nodded as response
After minuted umalis ni sina Mom and Dad sa dining area para pumunta na sa mag-aayos sakanila. Pupuntahan na siguro nila yung venue kung saan nag-aayos lahat ng mga dadalo sa kasal. The place might be packed with people at this hour. May mga tao na rin siguro sa simbahan at sa reception venue. Sa isang villa gaganapin yung reception.
As I heard, the family of the bride is from a well off family. They own thousands of properties. I yawned and laid on my bed.
I don't want to go. I'm bored. I held my phone and stared at my wallpaper. It's me and Amber. Yung nagpa-picture kami from a stranger on the shore of the beach.
Hmm.....should I call her? I want to.
I searched for her number on my contacts and was about to push the call button when my door bursted open.
"Bryan? Why are you not ready? Come, let's now go. I don't want to be late for your father's cousin's wedding. I want to see the bride. I'm ecstatic till this hour." Mom stated and she pulled out the blue tuxedo from our closet
"Halika na. Don't just stay on that bed." Mom pulled and I stopped her
"I'll change first." I stated and Mom nodded
Umupo siya sa may edge ng higaan namin ni Brix and stared at me.
"Go on. Change your clothes." Mom said and gestured her hand
"Mom, you know that I'll be awkward with you around right?" I stated and she rolled her eyes
"What? What's the use of you CR? Oh please be more reasonable!" Mom mumbled habang palabas ng kwarto namin ni Brix
Umiling-iling ako at naghanap ng damit. Casual clothes will be okay for now. I picked a black round neck shirt, a red and black striped long sleeves, a black ragged pants and a boots. I let the long sleeves open while I walk down the stairs together with Mom.
Later the day, I saw myself standing beside Mom when the photographer called the 'Family of the Groom'. I hate pictures. Well, it might sound absurd but I don't like anyone taking my pictures. I should be the one behind that camera not in front.
Pagkatapos ng picture taking, I rode my parents' car to the villa. It was a very huge majestic villa. It was very expensive just to look at it. We entered the villa and I was right. It was more majestic in the inside.
Buffet tables are everywhere. The food looks tasty. I walked to the table where a card with our family name is written on it. I sat to one chair and saw something interesting. We can grill! Yes!
I grabbed the pork belly next to me and started grilling it. While I was busy grilling and eating the pork belly, Brix appeared next to me.
"Bryan! Wow! Pork belly! Pahingi ako!" he stated and grabbed the chopsticks para kumuha ng pork belly but I tapped the back of his palm
"Go grill your own." I stated at ngumuso na naman siya
"Bryan, why don't you go enjoy the foods on the buffet table. I saw some of your favorites." Mom said and smiled
My ears clapped at what Mom said. My favorites. Hmm.....
"Why don't you just go there and see than to drool on our table?" Mom said at kumuha na ng pagkain
Tumayo ako at tumatalon-talon papunta sa isang buffet table. Woah! Mom's right! This are my favorites!
Kumuha ako ng chopsticks at kumuha ng lahat ng gusto ko. I ate happily. I guess this wedding wouldn't turn out as I expected. At first I thought it was boring. Like what really happens to single people like me.
I sighed and grabbed a drink. Once I gulped all the liquor inside, I went to the garden I saw at the back of of the villa.
Kinuha ko yung cellphone ko sa bulsa at tinutok yun sa isang fountain which was made as a wishing fountain. Pennies are covering the tiled floor of the fountain. I took as many pictures as I like and sat on the edge of it.
It was silent for awhile until my phone started screaming. Hmm? An unknown number?
Sinagot ko yung tawag and waited for the caller to speak.
"Bryan....."
A weak voice said. It was as if the caller is crying. Wait...why does her voice sound familiar?
"Tita Angeline?!" I shouted and then I heard a sobbing from the other line
"What happened?!" I nervously asked
"B..b..Bryan, s..s..si Am..Amber....." she wasn't able to finish what she was trying to say because she burst to tears again
"Don't worry, Tita! I'll be there!" I shouted and ran outside
