Wedding of the Century

Chapter 3

S e r e n i t y

I was inside the car frowning and crossing my two arms. Wala ako sa mood habang naghihintay ng 'Go' signal mula sa aking personal guard.

Ano pa ba ang bago don? lagi naman akong wala sa mood after what happened 2 months ago.

Isinandig ko ang aking ulo sa upuan at pinikit ang mga mata para maikalma ang sarili. Hindi ko kasi maiwasang isipin na mas lalong hindi na ako kinakausap ni William simula non.

Kinukumbinsi ko na lamang ang aking sarili na baka mas tinutuunan niya ng pansin ang paglalaro ng basketball at ang pag-aaral nito lalo na't graduating na ito ngayong taon.

Hindi niya alam kung gaano ko siya gustong puntahan sa classroom niya at dalhan ng gatorade sa practice niya like I always do, pero kailangan kong ibigay ang space na hinihingi nito kahit masakit.

Masakit kasi hinintay kong tawagan at itext niya ako, hinintay kong hahanapin niya ako at pupuntahan sa bahay. I was expecting him to miss me, and it is so fucked up that for 2 long months, I did not hear anything from him.

I was out from my reverie when someone lightly knocked on the window. The PG opened the door for me. I stepped out and frowned when all lights were on me, parang kinakain ako ng mga ilaw sa paligid.

"Smile, Serenity." Bulong ni mommy at pinilit ko na rin na ngumiti.

Our guards guided us the way towards the VIP area. I felt a huge relief when we're finally inside, away from the flashing cameras. Then, we saw Tita and Tito coming towards us.

"Happy birthday, Tita Imelda." I kissed her on the cheek, and handed her our gift. She smiled at me with an awe.

"You look stunning baby! Muntik na kitang hindi makilala. Thank you for this..." Tiningnan ko ang suot ko at nahihiyang tumawa.

"Thank you po."

I wore a gold off shoulder fitted gown that has a slit exposing my right long leg. My long black and shiny hair was gorgeously curled, and my glam team put a not so heavy yet elegant make up on my face.

After the small greeting, the couple guided us on our table. As usual, the event was celebrated at their pavilion. Everything are just so fantastic and it feels like very enchanting and magical.

Hindi na ako nagulat na sa iisang table lang kami kasama ng mga Hurler. Thinking that I'm gonna see him tonight, shivers me for excitement.

Biglang nawala ang pagtatampo ko sa kanya na tinatago ko sa aking sarili sa loob ng dalawang buwan, mas nananaig ang pagkasabik kong makita at makausap siya sa gabing ito.

"Ate Serenity, you look so gorgeous!"

Zeke announced when he hugged me from behind and kissed my cheeks. I mouthed him 'thank you' and winked at him. Tatabi sana ito sa akin when he maybe realized something and transferred 2 seats away from me. He smirked at me.

As everyone is waiting for the program to start, I excused my self to go to the powder room.

Even if there's a comfort room here, I still went inside the mansion away from stereo noises. Saan pa't kabisado ko ang mansyon ng mga Hurler?

The 1st floor has 8 comfort rooms, dalawa sa pool, dalawa din sa pavilion, sa kitchen, dalawa sa maid's quarter at dito malapit sa hagdanan ng mansyon. Nagretouch lang ako sandali at inayos ang buhok ko.

Tiningnan ko ang sarili sa salamin, I am always like this, everytime na alam kong haharap ako kay William nagiging concious ako sa sarili ko. I want to be always presentable and beautiful in front of him, even if sometimes he failed to notice it.
