Tito went back to the table and took out some papers sabay bagsak sa lamesa "here Richard and Dawn read it and sign it" sabi niya, Richard was already standing so he took the papers and gave mine to me. I won't delve into the details but the paper states that our marriage can be dissolved after Richard's term if the people where he served doesn't want him to be their mayor anymore.
"Pa, ma, tito, and tita I think this is too much" i said "hija you know me and your dad have been bestfriends since we were kids and you know that we want Savion the city we grew up in to get better" tito Frank said "dad I know we don't see eye to eye pero this will make our relationship even more bitter" Richard said to his dad na medyo kumalma na "pano kung mali mga desisyon ko?" He asked again "kaya nga andiyan si Dawn, she can be your moral compass" papa said and smiled at me"pa you know I never liked law kaya nga I went with communications as my major ano to?" I am still confused and overwhelmed with what's happening bakit ako pa ang gagawing guide for Richard, I'm not that good.
"Anak we will always be behind you" mama said "well we don't have any choice no?" Richard looked around and asked "kung ganon Dawn papakasal tayo pero I can't promise to be faithful" sinabi niya at pinirmahan ang papel sabay tayo and iniwan kami lahat "BASTOS NA RICHARD TALAGA TO" tito Frank said "Dawn don't worry I'll talk to him" sabi ni tita and she gave me a beso. I was there dumbfounded and feeling betrayed by my parents "ma, pa you heard him" I pleaded "sorry anak" mama said "what will you gain from this ma?" "A peace of mind" she said "hindi ko ma gets ma what peace of mind, I've always been the good daughter" "kasi anak you need to get out of your bubble, you're too uptight" papa said
Yun lang para doon lang ipapakasal nila ako kay Richard I thought to myself, pinirmahan ko habang may tumutulong luha saaking mga mata "ma,pa just so you know being in Australia I learned how to be independent na and I left my so called bubble" I said and went out nadin to which they followed me. "Anak don't worry, I know you and Richard can work this out" mama said when she caught up to me and hugged me. Napa tango nalang ako dahil bukas na ang kasal namin dito din sa office because all they want is a civil wedding.
RICHARD
I took an uber "hello pare, are you g tonight?" I asked Evan "ngayon? Eh may event ako bro eh?" Oh yeah i forgot to tell everyone na Evan is a well known host "ano oras matatapos?" Tanong ko "super late eh" "wala akong pake punta ka sa Respekt later" sabi ko and I know he will go there. "Agnes" mahinahon kong sabi "oh wow buhay ka pa pala after your 2 day hiatus" she said with bitterness "well Masama akong damo kaya matagal bago ako mamatay" "hah sana nga Richard" she said. "By the way go to Respekt later, you know naman na I'm getting married tomorrow kaya please be there" i begged her "okay okay I will be there" she sultrily said.
The plan was all set in my mind I rerent ko ang club kahit na buong savings ko pa ang magastos ko dito wala na akong pake this is my last night of freedom. I went to the club and asked how much to rent the whole club for a night nahirapan pa ako mag negotiate pero I told them naman I will open it to the public padin pero I will be the king for a night. Pumayag sila and I paid them 2 million. Everyone was there we drank, had fun di ko na alam ang nangyari after as usual I blacked out we drank so much I forgot that I had to wake up early for my wedding day.
