One Night Surprise

13

This is it.
The wedding day.

"Would you Mr. Lou John Reyes take Miss Divine Prey Monte as your beloved wife?"

He takes a deep breath before he answer.
"I do."

"Would you Miss Divine Prey Monte take Mr. Lou John Reyes as your beloved husband?"

"I.. I.. do." She stuttered.

"You may now kiss the bride."
The priest smiled.

DP and LJ face each other.
LJ keep staring to DP.

"Come on, you can kiss your bride." The priest added.

He continued to stare to DP at nagdadalawang isip siyang halikan ito. "What if she will get angry when I kiss her." He thought.

LJ get pressured ng makisali na ang mga taong present sa kasal nila.

"Don't be shy kiss your beautiful wife."

"Kiss her son!" Dad of LJ.

While everyone is waiting and smiling.

"Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" People cheering.

Slowly DP approached ang kissed LJ softly with her thumbs on his lips. She was faking it.

The people cheering happily.

DP's eyes we're watery but she is trying her best not to let tears dropped.

She misses RJ.
Inakala niya na pipigilan ni RJ ang kasal nila ni LJ pero nagkamali siya.
How she wished RJ was there to comfort her pero hindi nagpakita si RJ kahit ni-anino nito sa kasal niya.

Nang nalaman kasi ni RJ ang nangyari lalong-lalo na nang sabihin ni DP na buntis ito at si LJ ang ama ay sobra itong nasaktan. His heart crushed when he discovered na ikakasal ang taong mahal niya pero hindi sa kaniya kundi sa bestfriend niya.

(Flashback)
"Why did you do this to me?! Do you still love me?! Why?!!!" He can't managed to low his voice. Kinakain na si RJ ng galit niya kaya nasigawan niya si DP.

"I'm sorry! It's just a mistake! We are both drunk that night." Her tears fall.

"You still love me right?!" Hinawakan ni RJ ang mukha ni DP.

"I still love you."

RJ hugged DP tight then he pulled away.

"Pwede naman tayo magsimula ulit hindi ba?!" He was desperate na makasama si DP.

DP nod.
"Tayo at si baby."

"Not the baby." There are intensity in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not my child DP how come maiisip mo na tatanggapin ko yan. Anak yan ng traydor na kaibigan ko. I will kill that bastard if I saw him."

Hindi makapaniwala si DP sa narinig niya mula sa bibig ni RJ.
He wants to abort the baby.

"Do you want me to kill the baby?"

"That is a mistake." He pointed DP's tummy.

"I can't believe how selfish you are!"

"Kung mawawala yang baby na yan tatanggapin kita!"

She slapped RJ.

(Back to reality)
"Don't even think about it, me kissing you, it's the worst things for me." She whispered.

They faced the crowd and flashes their fake smiles.

"I didn't know your such a good actress." LJ whispered to DP while smiling.

They lived in a new house that LJ's father bought just for them.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone that I'm your wife."

"Maliban na lang sa close friends natin, sila lang ang may alam na kasal tayo." She added.

"If that's what you want."

"The wife is not allowed to invade the husband privacy."

"It's easy for me not to care." She blurted.

"Since kailangan natin matulog sa iisang kama gusto ko lang na malaman mo na bawal mo akong lapitan at hawakan."

"Sa tingin mo ba pagnanasaan kita?!" LJ smirked.

They knew that their marriage would be cold in public and burdensome in private.
Who cares? They choose to be a miserable.

"For the record the wife has to do the household chores because I'm not hiring any maid."

"What?!"

"Hindi mo naman gustong malaman nila daddy na nagkukunwari lang tayo hindi ba?!" He warned DP.

She glared to LJ.

"If my dad finds out about this contract marriage I'm sure itatakwil niya ako." He reasoned out.

"Jerk!" She blurted.

"Ngayon pa lang nagsisisi na akong pinakasalan kita." DP added.

He frowned for a few second and walked away.
