Matchmaker's Series #3: The Devils Kisses (Raw Version-Unedited)

Chapter 12

(Author's Note: I'm sad to say na hanggang series number 3 lang ang Matchmaker's series. Magfo-focus na rin ako sa next series na isusulat ko eh. Sorry dahil medyo lame ang story na to sa point of view nyo. Nag-uumpisa pa lang po kasi akong mag-improve sa field ng writing. Im trying my best to be the best version of myself in this field kaya sana hindi kayo magsawa na suportahan ako. Sige na basa na kayo! Enjoy!)

NAPABALIKWAS ng bangon si Benedict nang maramdamang wala na ang dalaga sa tabi nya.

Oh no! Not again! Hindi sya iniwan ni Ava!

Nagmadali syang nagbihis at humahangos na lumabas ng kwarto nya.

"Ava! Nasaan ka!? Ava!" He shouted. "Oh f*ck!" Impit na daing nya nang makaapak ng nagkalat na laruan sa sahig. "Tori!! Nessa!! Ang mga laruan nyo!!" He gritted his teeth. Those little she-devils are getting into his nerves!

"Tito why are you shouting?" Sebastian sked him while picking up the scattered legos on the floor. Nagbabasa ito ng libro habang nagpupulot ng kalat. This kid is really something.

"Nakita mo ba ang Tita Ava mo?" He asked his nephew.

"What? Tita Ava's here? I thought nasa US sya?"

"Umuwi sya kahapon. So nakita mo nga?"

"Tito! Im tired of you already! Lagi mo na lang ako tinatanong ng tungkol kay Tita Ava since i was 5 years old! Gosh Tito! Give me a break!"

He stiffened. Mukhang napuno na ang pamangkin nya sa pagtatanong nya tungkol kay Ava.

He stood up there and reminisced the night him and Ava made love. She's still the same Ava he knew years ago----- the one and only woman who could make his heart beat in a fast rate. The only woman who could drive him out of his sanity, and the only woman who could lit up his dull, mundane day into a sunshine-ny day.

Yeah, Ava is his ray of Sunshine. He met her years ago sa mga pictures nito sa Album ng Ate Ara nya. When Sebastian introduced Ava to him in their family portrait, he fell with a thump. At first, he thought that it was just a mere attraction. No more, no less. Pero mali sya.

10 years ago, he met her in his Kuya Dom's wedding. Nasa reception sya non at busy sa pakikipag-usap sa mga kakilala. The reception housed 10 thousand guests and it was recorder as the grandest wedding in philppine history. Ganoon kamahal ng Kuya nya ang asawa nito. The wedding day is like a fairytale in real life for his Kuya Dom, and so for him. Akala nya talaga ay nasa loob sya ng isang fairytale noong araw na yon.

10 years ago...

The wedding day of his Kuya Dominic is probably the most beautiful and most expensive wedding he has ever seen. Halos malula sya sa dami ng guest, sa laki ng wedding cake, at sa mismong venue. The place was breathtaking as it symbolizes power, wealth, and sophistication. Maging ang mga dessert ay may gold. Hindi sya makapaniwalang golden-themed ang kasalng kuya nya. Ni hindi nya nga na-imagine na magpapakasal ang Kuya nya.

He was about to fidget when suddenly, a familiar face caught his attention. It was a girl. She looks so stunning in her lacy-strapped gown which complimented her curves. Her face resembles Ara Romero's face but this girl has her own beauty and charm. And just like in the clichéd movie scene of all time, the girl's gaze diverted at him in a slow-mo manner. His heart did a summersault when she smiled at him, leaving him dumbfounded and struck in a blink. She's like Sunshine in it's human form! The way the girl smile almost took his breath away and leave him fascinated. Kailan pa sya na-attract ng husto sa isang babae?
