AGS 4: The Best Man's Wedding

Chapter 20: Homeless

"Paint a picture for you and me of the days when we were young!" He was shouting the lyrics as if it was tiring to sing. "Singing at the top of both our lungs on the day we fell in love . . ."

Sumimangot ako at tinanong siya. "Favorite song mo?"

"Ha?" Nilingon niya ako. "Ang alin?"

"2002?"

Tumawa lang siya habang umiiling. "Hindi, a."

"Bakit kinakanta mo?"

"Masamang kantahin?"

The only thing I did was give him a questionable look.

"Sungit mo." Nakangisi siyang nagpatuloy sa paglalakad habang pakanta-kanta pa rin.

Clark likes to sing, that's for sure. Pero ang weird kasi ng mga kinakanta niya.

O baka ako lang ang nawiwirduhan. Masyado kasing on point.

We reached the house and we saw nobody from there. Baka nasa farm pa rin at may sariling banquet sa kanila.

Dumeretso ako sa kuwarto namin nina Jaesie at ibinato ko sa dresser chair ang suit ni Clark.

Ibinagsak ko ang katawan ko sa kama at tumalbog ako nang dalawang beses doon habang nakatitig ako sa ceiling.

Pat's wedding was already done, and my nightmares were starting to materialize.

Mum was silent about my own wedding. Kahit sa brand ko, tahimik din siya at ayaw sumagot kung bakit pumayag siyang ma-breach ko ang kontrata ko sa agency na humahawak sa akin. I would face a worst case scenario because of her plans, hindi man lang siya kinakabahan.

I started to feel the exhaustion after two days of working hard for this wedding. Next time talaga, hindi na ako tatanggap ng suits na ganito karami.

Napasulyap ako sa pintuan nang bumukas iyon at pumasok si Clark na pinanindigan ang pagiging topless niya. He was busy on his phone, may kausap siguro.

"Bakit hindi ka pa magdamit?" tanong ko paglapit niya sa 'kin.

"Magdadamit pa, huhubarin din naman."

I immediately got up and looked at him, stunned. "I'm not making out with you."

He cringed at me and took the chair where I placed his suit. "Ang halay ng utak mo, Sab, ha." He sat there and focused on his phone.

Ah, so wala pala siyang plano? Ano? Balak lang niya akong ipahiya sa sarili ko for assuming?

"Sino'ng kausap mo? Girlfriend mo?" tanong ko habang tinataasan ng kilay ang phone niya. "Just tell me right away so I can avoid you."

He rolled his eyes and showed me his phone's screen.

"I didn't say na ipakita mo, duh!" But I still looked at it.
