A Dangerous Game Called LOVE [COMPLETED]

Three

Chapter 3
Games and Marriage

"Okay." I quickly said that made him smile as I drink my wine. "Okay! Great then—" but I raised my point finger to stop him from talking. Nah uh! Not that easy, boy!

"But in one condition." I said and he just nodded at me like he's ready to hear any of my conditions. Damn this boy! Enjoying the game we're about to play.

"Let's get married when we're ready. Kung wala talaga akong mahanap na mamahalin ko, edi tayo na lang." simpleng sabi ko at tango lang siya ng tango. I guess I'm her best option huh? "Of course, Aly. We're not gonna get married right away. I still wanna enjoy my life without a wife."

What a jerk!

"And that's the dumbest decision you ever made in your life, Aly. Marrying that asshole." biglang pagsulpot ni Grae na parang kanina pa ata nakaupo sa isang bench. Shit? Kanina pa siya dun?

Lumapit siya kay Arch para tapikin ang braso niya. "On a second thought, I don't think it was a bad idea since both of you are the same." he said while laughing mocking at us.

Fuck you, Grae!

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin na ikinatigil niya sa pagtawa at umakbay sa akin. "Man! It was just a joke. You're no fun, Aly. Where's my Aly who's fun to be with before?" nakangising tanong niya pero inirapan ko lang siya.

"Pareho kami pero ikaw mas malala ka! Uso magbagong buhay, Grae. Ano? Puro laro na lang gagawin mo?" maarteng tanong ko habang nakataas ang kilay. Etong Archer naman nakangiti lang na pinapanood kami.

"Gosh! Aly, I'm just trying to enjoy my life while my parents are busy choosing the best brand of my future wife." sabi niya na lang saka uminom din sa wine namin.

Tsk. Tsk. Magagaya din ata to kay Dane na ipapakasal para sa business nila.

"Dude! If you're just serious in doing business, they won't sell you to a wealthy family." natatawang sabat naman ni Archer kaya binatukan ko mas lalo at napansin kong nagseryoso ang mukha ni Grae.

His ego was hurt. Damn this Archer!

"Edi kayo ng magaling sa paghandle ng business at matalino." mapait niyang sagot. "So... who's the girl you're with inside the gallery awhile ago? I doubt that you bring your girls in this kind of formal events." pagbabago ko naman agad sa usapan namin.

"Who?" nalilitong tanong niya pabalik. I think he's tipsy. Kanina pa ata to umiinom eh. "Yung naka red dress kanina na kasama mo sa gallery?" pag ulit ko pero parang wala parin siyang maintindihan sa kung sino ang tinutukoy ko.

"I don't know? Ang dami kong nakasalamuha kanina eh?" sagot na lang niya para ata matapos ang usapan. Napasapo na lang ako sa noo ko. Damn this stupid asshole.

Oh fucking Grae, kailan ka ba tatamaan ng kaseryosohan sa buhay?

Napatayo kaming tatlo ng makita namin na naglalabasan na ibang tao. Tapos na ata ang auction. "Dude, I'll go now... Aly!" sabi niya saka hinalikan ako sa pisngi at tumango lang kami ni Archer.

"That damn boy became so sensitive. Hindi naman siya ganon noon ah!" biglang singit naman ni Archer na ikinatingin ko sakanya agad.

I rolled my eyes looking at him with disappointment.

"Parang hindi mo naman alam ang nangyayari sa kanya. Stop being a jerk to him. Alam mo namang selos na selos yun sa Ate at little brother niya eh tapos ipapamukha mo pa na parang wala siyang narating." sermon ko sakanya agad.

Minsan talaga mga lalake hindi marunong makiramdam. They're blessed that they have their one and only girl friend— and that's me para sermonan sila sa mga bagay na hindi nila napapansin.
