HUXLEY WILSON COLLYMORE

I WAS EXTREMELY hurt when Feby didn’t show up at our wedding. I thought she was the right girl for me, pero hindi pala. Naka-organized na ang lahat. Lahat ng mga bisita ay handa na. All guest are ready. And she's the only one to start that event.

I gave all my best—everything to her, but I didn’t expect her to do that to me. Despite her luxuries, I gave her everything without hesitation. Although it's hard for me, I still did it just to make her stay. Lahat ng ari-arian ko ay handa kong isuko kay Feby, even my hospital.

I glanced all of them. Lahat sila ay nalulungkot sa nangyari sa kasal naming dalawa. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dahilan ni Feby kung bakit hindi siya dumating sa kasal namin. My pride, my heart and my dream are shattered all at once but I choose to remain positive.

I request Mom and Dad to keep private what we have done today. No media. No reporter. Dahil ayaw kong mapahiya ang pamilya namin dahil lang sa iskandalong ito. At kung mangyari man 'yon, ito ang unang karanasan ng aming pamilya na mapahiya.

Call me what ever you want but we are Collymore. No one could embarrassed us. Mayaman man o mahirap.

I sighed because of the pain I was feeling right now. I want to see Feby and badly hear her reasons. I was never mean to her, pero bakit niya ito ginawa sa akin? Why has the world been so cruel to me? Hindi naman ako katulad nina Brion na malulupit at halang ang sikmura . Pati na kay Dad at kay Eleazar. Naisip ko na lang na baka busy siya o baka may problema kaya hindi siya sumipot

It literally broke my heart. I can’t deny it. Ganito ba talaga kapag binigo ka ng minamahal mo? I want to be numb, forget all the painful things that happened.

I tried to dial her number but all I received was the operator's voice. I dialed her number again for the second time and just like before, it was still the operator's fvcking voice. Dahil doon, nagpasya akong puntahan siya sa Sta. Rosa, sa probinsya nila.

I used my car to go to their province, hoping to see her there. I tried to focus my eyes on the road while driving. My mind drifted as my eyes focused on the road. After a while, I received a call from Brion. I quickly connected the car's speaker and swiped it green.

“Yes, Kuya?” my opening answer.

“Hello, Huxley. Where are you? Nag-aalala na sina Mom sa’yo.” his cold and lazy voice again. Pero nahihimigan ko pa rin sa boses niya ang pag-aalala.

“I’m going to Feby’s province now. Don’t worry, I’m fine.” I answered.

“Nagdala ka ba ng mga bodyguards? Huwag mong sabihing wala?” he directly ask.

I quickly looked in the side mirror of my car, “Yes, Kobe is currently following me in the back. Pakisabi na lang kay Mom na okay lang ako at pakisabi na rin na huwag siyang mag-isip ng masama. I promise, sandali lang ako do’n. I just wanna hear her reason kung bakit niya ginawa ‘yon sa’kin.” I answered then I turned back to the road.

As I turned back I saw two men wearing bonnets on their heads while holding a gun in their hand. My eyebrows rose. Ilang sandali pa ay bigla itong lumapit sa kotse ko at hindi ko inasahan ang kanilang sumunod na ginawa.
