Reena's POV
Days have passed nang hindi ko man lang namamalayan kasal na ngayon nila Mike at Andy.
And here we are in Siargao. I wonder if Kevin went here the last time we had an argument. Dito gaganapin yung wedding nila Andy. I'm all dolled up and ready. Nasa kwarto ako kanina ng pinag-aayusan nila Andy but I wanted to get some air kaya nag-paalam muna akong lalabas muna.
I'm wearing a white sleeveless silk dress with a very low neckline and it fits my body really well that it shows my curves.
I'm standing on the edge of the cliff near their wedding venue. Nakaharap lang ako sa dagat at nakatitig sa kawalan, hugging myself. Watching the waves, bigla na lang ako mapapahinga ng malalim. Hindi naman maginaw but maybe my body's just feeling the coldness.
I arrived later than everyone dahil inantay ko pa si Jean makarating ng Manila before I booked our flight to Siargao and by now, I should've expect the unexpected.
"Reena! Mabuti naman at nakarating na kayo." Bati sa akin ni Marla sa lobby.
"Oo nga eh. Nasa'n sila?" Tanong ko pero bago niya ako sagutin sinabi ko muna kay Jean na mag-pahinga muna at inutos ko sa isang empleyado doon na i-akyat sa room ko yung mga gamit namin.
"Okay, just hit me up if you need me." She smiled and I nod.
"Uhm, we're having an early dinner sa lounge. Do you wanna join us?" She asked me.
Why is it that I feel like something is off with her? She's hesitating to invite me? But I dodged it and I agreed to go with her.
"Uy, Reena! Nandito ka na pala." Hindi maipinta yung mukha ni Bry.
Ngumiti naman ako, "The wedding is tomorrow malamang darating na ako, sira."
Nagkatinginan silang lahat at parang sabay sabay yung mga tingin nilang lumingon sa bar ng lounge. There he was walking towards us.
I haven't seen him ever since our confrontation. May mga gatherings before the wedding, like the rehearsal dinner I attended, hoping I would see him but to my disappointment he wasn't able to attend dahil busy raw. Okay, more of saying that he doesn't wanna see me.
At hindi nakatakas sa tingin ko yung kasama niya, they were smiling at each other while talking about something. His fiancee. Syempre kilala ko siya, I have stalked her everywhere on the social media.
Ayos tong si Marla, walang pasabi ah? Natawa na lang ako sa loob loob ko. Ano to? Gumaganti ba kayo?
Okay how am I supposed to react to this?
My smile didn't fade though. I have mastered the art of being okay even though I'm not so this is just a piece of cake. Yeah right, keep telling yourself that, Reena.
Kevin's expression changed when he saw me, I expected that. What I didn't expect was...
"Hey!" Masiglang bumati yung fiancee niya.
Lumingon ako, walang sumagot sa kanya.. At lahat sila nakatingin sa akin? What? Ako ba grini greet neto?
"Uhm.. Hi?" Medyo awkward akong ngumiti.
Nakangiti pa rin siya, "I believe we haven't officially met, I'm Sab, Sabrina Andrada." Inabot niya yung kamay niya.
I accepted it, "Nice to meet you, I'm Reena Fontanilla." Hindi rin nawala yung ngiti ko.
She knows me alright.
"You're the New Yorker, right? Kevin's told me about you." Oh wow, what did he tell you?
