Chapter 40 Change

Chapter 40

Change

I stayed for two days until Romulus' wedding. Hindi ako pumayag na sa mansion nila Javier ako tumuloy kaya umuwi ako sa bahay namin. Hindi naman pumayag si Javier na magisa ako doon kaya sumama siya. I told him I'm fine but being Javier, hindi naman siya sumunod sa akin.

The wedding was held at their farm. Malawak iyon at puno ng bulaklak ang paligid. I never saw Romulus flashed such emotion until I saw him looking at his bride while she's walking down the aisle. The wedding was a breather. It was so beautiful and lovely.

I sat with Ate Aisa and Damian at the reception. Damian's parents are there too. Ate Aisa introduced me to them briefly. I don't know what to say to Ate Aisa after. Kanina niya pa ako tinitingnan pero hindi naman siya nagsasalita. I don't know if I'll explain why I'm here or huwag nalang dahil hindi naman siya nagtatanong.

"Uh..." I turned to her, she eyed me maliciously, just waiting for me to say something. "I came here to see Javier..."

She pursed her lips to hide her smile but she's failing miserably. Lumabas ang kanina pa niyang pinipigilang ngiti kaya hindi ko maiwasang mapasimangot.

"I would love to know the details." She uttered.

"What details?"

"Details! Sabi mo ex na kayo? And mind you what happened years ago was huge. I suspected it, but I never thought you're really back together."

I sighed, "We just recently talked."

"And now you're getting married?"

My eyes widen and my hands flew to my fingers.

"Don't try to hide it anymore! The diamond is flashing from afar! Nahiya ka pa!"

"Ate Aisa!" I hissed but she just laughed and looked at Damian who's sitting next to her. I saw Damian smirked and looked at me before looking back at his wife.

Napangiti nalang ako kahit nakakahiya. Javier gave me a ring right after he asked me if I'll marry him. I'm actually not expecting anything. Iyong palang tinanong niya ako ay sobra na. lumingon ako sa aking kanan and I saw Javier walking towards me with Romulus and his wife. I smiled at him and the two.

I stood up, "Hi. Congratulations..." I stated.

Romulus wife, Spring, smiled widely, "Thank you! Girlfriend ka ni Kuya Javier?"

I looked at Javier and shyly smile before nodding.

"She's my fiancé," Javier said clearly. Nangiti nalang ako napailing.

"Really? Congratulations too! Bakit hindi ko alam na engage ka na?" baling ni Spring kay Javier, but the latter just shrugged.

"Congrats." Romulus said to me. Hindi naman ako siguradong tumango at ngumiti before saying my thanks.

The newly wed then head to other guests. Naiwan si Javier doon at lumapit sa akin.

"You okay?" he asked.

I nodded and smiled. He took a step closer and put his hands on my waist before leaning his lips to my hair. I didn't move as I saw the stare of some people on us.

"Wala ka bang gagawin?" mahina kong tanong.

His head moved away looking at my face, "Why?"

"Nagtatanong lang..."

His eyes narrowed while intently staring at me. He kissed my cheeks and embarrassment quickly followed. Naginit ang aking pisngi at batok. I glare at him but he just chuckled.
