My Handsome Architect

Chapter 1: Handsome Man

She doesnʼt know why people want to get married. Through those years that she learn how to make wedding dresses half of those women cry after just a year of marriage. Hyacinth doesnʼt like it. Sometimes she wants to stop making those dresses or gown thats connected to wedding. She feels bad whenever she heard those bride broke their marriage.

“You feel bored?” Hestia laugh while looking at the altar.

Hyacinth rolled her eyes heavenward. They were here in New york.
Her cousin is the wedding planner of this wedding and she invite her to come. And because she was bored in her working table she decided to take her invitation. Now sheʼs watching the wedding and she want to bump her head in frustrations.

“Gosh, smile Yaz. Donʼt make them feel that youʼre cursing this wedding.” She said softly but thereʼs laughter in her voice.

She glared at her cousin. “Why does it takes so long to finish?”

Hestia giggled happily. “Now now, donʼt sulk. Your face is long and it doesnʼt look beautiful. Why donʼt you just look around? Maybe someone will catch your attention and we can bring him tonight in a pub?”

A smile grace her lips to Hestiaʼs words. “Thatʼs more like it.” She roamed her eyes to her surroundings. Hyacinth can see so many faces. Some old, kid, and a lots of beautiful faces. Her eyes involuntarily stopped when she saw a handsome man. He was talking to his companion and his smile captivates her.

Sam PoV

Napatingin sya sa relo at lihim na napabuntong hininga.

“Not happy?” ungot ni James sa tabi nya na kanina pa nagpapapansin sa mga babaeng napapatingin dito.

“I want to go in the Philippines.”

“Nah. Weʼll stay here for two days, buds. Iʼll keep you busy.”

Sinamaan nya ito ng tingin. He remember when James said that word before. He left him inside a bar after putting a drug in his drink. Hindi nya parin makalimutan ang kilabot na naramdaman nya ng pagkagising nya ay may nakatunghay na babae sa kanya. Good thing he didnʼt do something inappropriate to the woman.

“Do it and your dead. Paano ka nga pala naimbitahan ni Paul?” ang tinutukoy nya ay ang kinakasal na kasama nila dati sa unibersidad na pinapasukan nila. Nagulat nalang sya dahil pinuntahan sya nito sa kanyang silid at hinila patungo sa rooftop. The airplane is there and before he can ask anything the dumbass put him inside.

“Because Iʼm resourceful?” he said arrogantly. Lumapit ito sa kanya at bumulong. “Look to your left. Kanina ka pa tinitignan ng magandang babaeng iyon. Wag kang pahalata.”

Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Sam at kunwaring tumingin sa likuran bago inilipat ang tingin sa direksyon na ibinigay ni James. Nagulat sya pero hindi nya iyon pinahalata ng makitang nakatitig nga sa kanya ang magandang babae. Nginitian nya ito at bahagyang tinanguan bago itinuon ang pansin sa altar.

“How is it? Beautiful, aight?” James teased.

“Yes.” totoo sa loob na sagot nya. He was not reluctant to give a compliment whenever it is needed. The woman is really beautiful.

“Thatʼs it? Nothing else?” tila nawawalan ng pasensyang tanong ng binata.

“May kailangan pa ba akong sabihin?” takang tanong nya.

James tap his forehead in frustration. “Damn it, what will I do to make him fall for someone?” he muttered.

“What?” Sam ask as he canʼt hear him clearly.

“Wala. Letʼs go to a pub after this ceremony.”

“Not interested.”

“Come on! I need a drink! I miss my girl.” anito at napabuntong hininga.

“Girl?” He queried. Wala syang nakikitang babaeng nakapaligid sa kaibigan kaya nakapagtataka ang sinasabi nito.

He chuckled wryly. “Itʼs a secret.”

Nagkibit balikat nalang sya.
