A night with Mr. Arrogant

Chapter 17

“HEY! I heard that, Nina!!” Meg shouted from the kitchen. We, Gerard, Roselyn and I, chuckled with the childish acts Meg has been pulling with





“Upo kayo!” I said as I gestured them to the couch



Umupo naman silang dalawa, and one thing I’ve noticed is that Roselyn’s belly is starting to grow bigger than the last time I saw her.





She was wearing a slightly bigger puffy dress but it wasn’t a maternal dress. Just a simple Red dress that reaches down her knee





“What brings you here?” I said as I sat to the recliner facing them slightly
“Well.. we’re here to …” ang sabi ni Roselyn while looking at Gerard smiling







While I was staring at the two, I saw Gerard lovingly smiled back and just gazing at these two, nararamdaman kong mas compassionate na silang dalawa other than before na puro lust lang ang visible sa kanila






“Why don’t you tell it, honey?” ang sabi ni Roselyn while niyakap niya ang braso ni Gerard drawing her self nearer to him




“Oh, okay” Gerard said and turned to my direction and smiled as well





“Well?” I said as I waited for them
 “Here!” He said as he handled me a white envelope with ribbon and a….dove?





Wedding invitation? I thought as I looked at the two with so much surprise in my eyes
“You guys are getting married?!” I said with so much amusement and happiness in my tone





Gerard nodded and I stood from the recliner to hug the both of them




“Congratulations for the both of you!” then I sat once more to the recliner



“This invitation is lovely!” I said as I took notice how the invitation was field with such creativity. there was a dove which was biting down a piece of lace and was filled with flowery decorations and a bow to highlight everything


“But Hey! why so sudden? I mean.. “




“You know my Mom, Nina.. at first she was so devastated with the news.. but in awhile, she asked for a wedding as soon as possible. She doesn’t want our family to be on the spotlight so, she called for the wedding before this month would end.”

He stole a glance on Roselyn before he glanced back at me





“Hindi daw kasi maganda pag nanganak na si Rose saka pa magpapakasal” he added while he played with ring on his finger





 Tapos, bigla na lang pumasok si Meg and laid a meryenda in the center table. It was a chocolate mousse cake from Goldilocks accompanied by a glass jug of orange juice






“Talagang hindi maganda yun sa mata ng Dyos.” Ang sabi niya while she sat in the other recliner close to the tv




“Oh! Nice diamond ring, Roselyn!” she said while she took notice of Roselyn’s Tiffany & Co’s diamond ring that must’ve cost a fortune





“Thanks!” Ang sabi ni Roselyn smiling at Meg.

It was really awkward with the dead silence so bigla na lang nagslice si Meg ng Goldilocks cake sa harap ng center table and handled Roselyn one



“Don’t worry, have a bite with the cake. Safe yan, hindi kita lalasunin” ang sabi ni Meg




“Even if I want to” I heard her murmured in her breathe



“Meg!” i warned her as I gave her the look




“Fine! Fine! Joke lang yun.. ano ba!” she said habang napahalakhak siya
nagslice siya uli ng cake and laid it sa isang platito




“Alam ko bitter ako, oo! Pero, invited ba ako?” she asked as she sat once again to the recliner





nagtinginan muna sina Roselyn and Gerard and then Roselyn handled down another invitation to her hand and gave it to Meg


“Ang aga! two days from now?!” ang sabi ni Meg with all the surprise visible to her eyes nang mapansin niya ang date ng kasal





  “We personally wanted to invite you kasi gusto ko kayo maging ......"


... maging?





"brides maid” ang sabi ni Roselyn habang nakangiti sa amin. 





nag tinginan muna kami ni Meg with all the surprise expression visible to our faces before we turned our head to Roselyn and Gerard
“seriously?!” we both said in unison








  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~








The wedding finally arrived and  I was not even surprise to see Iñigo as he had the grand entrance with his 2011 Lamborghini Murcielago, drawing more attention from the ladies in the Manila Cathedral.




He was undeniably good looking in a Randy Ortiz Suit which probably the main reason why ladies would still want to approach him just so they could get his attention.

The way he smiled to everyone else made my heart skip a beat





Even though im mad at him, he never fails to give me that effect I thought while watching him from a far wishing he would not notice how infatuated I am with him
 



He was hand shaking few of the well-known and respected guests when he finally noticed that I was staring at him





all-blushed and embarrassed, I shyly looked away from him and went inside the church.




and when I was inside, I noticed how beautiful Manila Cathedral was. This church's facade is in breathtaking Romanesque-Byzantine architecture featuring baroque elements, a perfect blend of contrasting styles. A perfect place to say I do’s





The aisle was decorated with Beautiful lilac flowers which adorned the venue courtesy of Scarlet Begonia Flowers.




People were all dressed in the shades of purple including those cute little midget carrying basket all around—the flower girls





I was so into my stare siesta when suddenly, someone approached me and hugged my legs from behind. i turned around only to be greeted by those charming brown eyes which reminds me a lot of Iñigo.. it was Darren, Iñigo’s little brother, in his cute little Nat Manilag tux





I bent down to his level only to see his grin grew wider.
