A Beautiful Creation

part 43 Postpone?

"I have a surprise for you Tin!", Frida joyfully announced at the cake testing the girl organized that Wednesday

She simply smiled for her friend instead of asking.

"Ask me, come on", Frida insisted

She smiled again half heartedly, "Ok, what is it?"

"Well, I've been to South and found a freaking great place for your bachelorette party!", her friend said it while throwing her two hands up high

Tin doesn't know if she will join her friend in her merriment or tell her to postpone it. She doesn't know if it's still right to marry Luke at that time. Then she thought, she doesn't have the heart to tell the girl about it after all of her effort. Frida already finished wedding invitations and already planned with Carl on her reception. Anything but the cake

"Something wrong girl?", Frida asked tilting her beautiful head

"You know where's Jb? She doesn't answer my calls since morning", she asked instead

"Yeah, this is her thing. Cakes and dessert. I'm texting her too actually", Frida replied

"I think I can't do this without her. You think it's better if we postpone it?", Tin asked, but she's hinting the marriage not the cake

Frida laughed, "Yeah, this is Jb's only contribution being deadpanned she is." That statement made her joined Frida in that laugh too

"Oh", Tin blurted when they seated on a cafe after the postponed cake schedule. She was looking at her phone

Frida took her eyes off in her phone and looked at her, "What is it?"

"Engr. Edward died last night. Mark texted me", Tin informed

"Who is he?", Frida asked on her styled hairdo again

"Jb's boss, remember? Engr. Monroe? Maybe that's why"

"I'm trying to call J but she's out of reach. Maybe that's why. You think we can leave her for now? Her boss is like a father for her", Frida suggested

"Yeah. You know the drill, the girl wants to be alone… but I will try to visit their office. We're one of their clients so I think I need to go there", she agreed

"Damn, what will happen in their company. Pancho will be taking the helm now", Frida assumed and she's right. Jb might be her boss' right hand but she's not the daughter nor a relative. Unless the younger Monroe took her for a wife

Silence took another air to both of them and it took a toll on Frida

"You have a problem", Frida announced

"It's nothing"

"O come on, Jb might say it's another girl's famous line", Frida uttered trying to copy their other friend's expression and voice

"Do you think…", she started, "Do you think it's a good time to marry Luke now?"

Frida gasped, "Because of Mr. Monroe? That's too much of being goody that you are Tin"

"No. It's not about him", she defended while looking down in her coffee

"Then why? Oh no, what happened?", Frida asked again. The girl was always thinking in advance being genius that she is

"I had a date with Luke last Friday", she opened

"Yeah I know. What did he do now?"

"We went to his condo after", Tin sighed

"And? And?", the other girl asked

"I saw Luke's other girl the morning after"

Frida's rounded blue eyes became twice it's size and accompany it with a dropped jaw, "What the heck!"
