Chapter 20----Solaire
CIERRA'S POV
Parang fairytale ang reception. Ang saraaaaap ng pagkain.
Burp. Oooops.
"Ang lakas mong kumain," bulong sakin ni Logan. Inismiran ko lang siya.
Nagsmile naman ito na nakaasar. Nafeel kong nag-iba ang mood ng tiyan ko.
Pechay. Bakit ngayon pa? (-_- )
Nagpaalam ako kay Logan at naghanap ng CR.
Ayon! Binuksan ko ang pinto at sakto! Walang tao @___@ yippee!
Palabas na sana ako nang narinig kong may pumasok.
"I always thought he would end up with a Victoria's Secret model or someone better," tawa ng isang babae.
"Logan's taste is soo low," sabat ng isa.
Anak ng tupa.
"I heard she's poor. My, my...kailan pa natutong maging charitable si Logan? He's a cold-hearted man!"
Di na talaga tama to. Lumabas ako at nakita kong nashock sila. Dapat lang.
"Alam niyo ang ganda niyo," panimula ko. "Pero sana sinabay niyo sa pagpaparetoke iyang mga ugali niyo! Poor na kung poor. Low na kung low. Eh, ako ang pinili. Wala na kayong magagawa diyan."
At nagwalk out ako. Pinakain na and all at ganun pa kung makapag-react.
Urrrrrrrrgh.
Di muna ako bumalik sa function room at naghanap ako ng patio.
Dun na ako umiyak.
Kanina, ang saya-saya ko pero ngayon...bakit feel ko ang mali nito?
Waaaaaah. Nakakaloka >_____<
Tumingin ako sa left ko at nakita ko ang isang silhouette na unti-unting lumalapit sakin.
"Mark."
MARK'S POV
"Cierra." I smiled at her. She's crying again.
I wiped her tears and seated beside her.
"Ba't ngayon lang kita nakita? Kanina pa nagsisimula ang party, ah."
"I promised you that I'd come, and I'm here. Di na ako nagpakita dun. With all the media attention, I'm pretty sure I'll ruin your wedding day."
Di na siya nagsalita. Nakatingin lang sa malayo.
"Anong nangyari?" I asked.
"May narinig lang ako."
"You're married to Logan Garcia. You will always hear something, Cierra."
Nakatungo na siya ngayon.
"Alam ko naman iyan. Naiisip ko lang kasi, pa'no kung I will never be good enough for him?"
Unti-unti na namang pumapatak ang luha niya.
"When he married you, alam niyang you are good enough for
him."
"Ang insecure ko, Mark."
"Don't be," I touched her face. "You are an amazing woman. Always know that."
And I saw her smile.
"Naks naman," she laughed.
We stayed there for a few minutes. Walang sinasabi. Walang pinag-uusapan. Nakatingin lang sa malayo.
There are times when I would look at her and I would smile each time.
I think...I have fallen for her.
LOGAN'S POV
What happened to her again? Sumama ba tiyan nun? I went out of the function room to look for her.
Na-raid ko na ang CR ng mga babae, wala pa rin.
Sa'n ka na naman nagsuot?
I went to the patio and saw her there, laughing with Mark. I stood there for a few minutes. Parang may kumirot sa puso ko.
Am I jealous? It can't be. Ahhh.
"Cierra."
She turned to me and smiled.
"We should go back."
Tumayo siya.
"Okay. Halika, Mark. Sabay ka na sa a.."
"He can't."
"Pero..."
"Mauna ka na. I need to talk to him."
Cierra looked at me worriedly but I said "It's okay" inaudibly at umalis na siya.
"Bro," bati ng asungot.
"Don't call me that."
"I'll leave, right now. If my presence is bothering you this much."
He was about to walk away when I said, "Stay away from my wife."
"We are friends, Logan. I guess Cierra has the right to choose her friends."
"You broke my sister's heart. You kissed our bestfriend and leave her broken. At anong plano mong gawin sa asawa ko, huh?"
"Wala, Logan! For goodness sake."
"I don't believe you."
"You never did. You want honesty, huh? Gusto ko siya Logan! May gusto ako sa asawa mo. If only she met me before you, I'm sure...ako ang nandiyan sa lugar mo! She doesn't deserve someone like you."
My fist closed tight.
"One day, she'll realize that."
I punched him and he just laughed.
"Just know what you have, Logan...while you still have her."
He walked away and I decided to go back to the reception.
"Inaway mo no?" binulong sakin ni Cierra nang makaupo na ako. "Haaay naku, Logan. Lahat na lang inaaway mo."
O___o
"Bipolar. Isayaw mo ako."
It was like an unconscious move to bring her to the dance floor but what I was conscious about is I was dancing with the most beautiful woman in the room.
For all the reasons, I am happy.
Her presence makes me feel like I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
