After hours faking everything infront of journalists and reporters, I finally have time alone to be emotional. Mabigat ang aking paghinga habang bumabalik sa kwarto, hotel rooms in Primavera are full because some guests, my family and his family are gathered here tonight for the wedding tomorrow.Binagsak ko ang katawan sa kama at tinakpan ang aking mukha. I let my tears flow with my heart tearing apart, hinayaan kong humagulgol ang sarili hanggang magsawa ako sa kakaiyak. I can't figure out why exactly I'm crying, is it because I'm sad? Excited? Nervous? I've no idea, I... I just want to cry.
Pinahiran ko ang mukha at pilit na kumalma nang may marinig akong doorbell, tumikhim ako bago nagsalita, "Yes!?" Garalgal ang aking boses kaya't napainom ako ng tubig.
"Its time for family dinner, Ms." Bumukas ang pintuan, sunod-sunod pumasok ang limang staffs. "Here's your dress for tonight." Hawak ng isa ang purple dress, it looks very elegant, it's above the knee and tight for my body.
"I'm your makeup artists tonight Ms. Hamilton, She's in charge for your hair." Walang gana akong tumayo at lumipat sa harap ng malaking salamin, nagsimula na silang ayusan ako.
I'm wearing white dress from the interview earlier, still wearing makeup but they need to remove it and put different one because I'm facing the chairman and chairwoman of Hamilton and Rhodes group. Instead of feeling nervous, I feel... I feel fucking numb.
May nag-aayos sa kuko ko at nagfo-foot spa, napatitig nalang ako sa salamin. I see reflection of a young lady that looked so elegant and gorgeous but her expression are flying in space. I closed my eyes, It's happening to fast, everything feels rapid, overflowing thoughts are sucking in my head and I don't know what exactly I should feel.
"Tell me when you want to run away.." Tuecer whispered as I clung into his arms slightly. We walk in the blue carpet on the way to dining hall, "Nervous?"
"Don't talk to me." I whispered back before smiling fakely at the first person I land my eyes on at the grand dining table. "Good evening everyone.." pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang lahat, Few of Tuecer's cousins are here, some of his titos and titas as well as mine.
"You look fabulous darling!" Tita Hyacinth commented few meters away, the table is very long and wide, thanfully we can still hear each others voices.
"You're finally settling down tomorrow, are you nervous hija?" One of Tuecer's aunt that I forgot the name, "Its natural, you will be emotional and all but the happiness will rose above it." I slightly smile and nodded like I agree with her, I dont.
"I heard you're giving them free pass to Maldives?"
"Yeah, its my gift for their honeymoon."
Nag-uusap lang sila tungkol saamin at kaunting asaran, wala akong gana kaya ngumingiti lang ako pilit. Napatingin ako saaking harapan, its Chaucer staring at me intensely like I did something so wrong, beside him is smirking Hesione and Zephyr silently drinking alcoholic drinks.
I rolled my eyes at Chaucer before turning to Chairman Rhodes at the end of the table, "Tomorrow is a big day for Rhodes and Hamilton group," he raises a glass of wine, "Lets celebrate tonight for our grandson and the granddaughter of Chairman Hamilton.." bumaling sya saamin ni Tuecer, in his old skin and old voice, you cannot deny the fact that he has beautiful hazel eyes, "May the wedding be blissful and successful."
We raised our glasses and take a sip in our wines, after serving the appetizer, the waiters put the course dish in our plates. The smell itself can full my tummy, but I dont have any apetite. Ramdam ko parin ang nagbabagang titig ni Chaucer, I am mad at him, I know that and I don't like the fact that I am affected.
